Share a hug today.

It really has been incredible to think about the last few years. Beginning with 9/11, followed by a few dozen hurricanes throughout the southeast. Devastating mudslides in California and the lastest tragic Tsunami event in Asia. It's about 11:39pm eastern time and as I was about to lay down for bed. I felt an incredible urge to write. I felt the urge to encourage people to share a hug today, tomorrow and next week. Send a hug by calling a friend. Email a hug to a co-worker. Whatever you do, make it a point to share lots of hugs. Hug friends, family members and co-workers. Send a silent message out to the world that despite everything that's been going on lately.. we will survive and remember .

Keep in touch with friends and share a laugh. Take a moment to sit back and read a good book. If you're like me, a perfect day could be hearing your kids run around in the backyard. It's important that we push forward, but hold the hands of others as we move forward. I am interested in hearing your thoughts and feelings about recent events. Also suggestions on how we can bring more hugs into the world.

I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
