24 years ago, they attacked our symbols of freedom. Yesterday, they silenced a voice fighting for it.

Today, our nation is shrouded in a dual grief. As we honor the memories of those we lost on 9/11, we are now forced to mourn a modern-day patriot—the assassinated Charlie Kirk.

Everyone alive 24 years ago has a story of where they were on that Tuesday morning in 2001. That shared memory binds us. Now, we will all remember where we were when we heard that Charlie, a fearless warrior for truth, had been taken from us.

He was constantly out there, being BOLD for the youth of our country. He spoke to the lonely. He gave hope to the hopeless. He always pointed up.

Yesterday, I/we shared a video about signs and guardian angels, and the stories you shared were a powerful reminder that we are not alone. We all have guardian angels looking out for us. And in a way, we all had a Charlie Kirk rooting for us.

His physical voice may be gone, but his message is now our responsibility. It lives in us.

Let’s continue to look out for one another.

Charlie’s work is not finished. In the comments below, tell us ONE way you will carry his torch forward. How will you be the "Charlie Kirk" for someone else this week?

Ever feel like you've lost your way, hoping for a sign or even a guardian angel? 🙏

In this video, I share a personal story about a moment that felt like just that. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes we need help, and sometimes we are called to be the help—to act as a guardian angel for someone struggling.

Speaking hope and providing clear guidance is a skill. That's why I'm starting my new weekly Lunch & Learns, designed to share my best tips for finding your path and guiding others.

If you're ready to decode the signs in your own life, this is your next step.
