I wrote this post yesterday..........and I had to repost it (because I think its important) and there is an update and a shout out at the bottom from Michelle Nichols!

I subscribe to a sales newsletter from www.salesdog.com.  And, when mine showed up today, I ran across this news blip on there that I needed to share with everyone...Please read below.

"Did you hug your kids today?

Late last year, long-time SalesDog friend and contributor Michelle Nichols left her position as a columnist with BusinessWeek Online and closed her Savvy Selling business to launch National Hug Your Kids Day. In 1998 Michelle's son Mark died suddenly, at age 8 1/2 years old, from brain cancer. Now she's encouraging working mothers and fathers to put "family first and work a close second." Today is the first annual National Hug Your Kids Day - the perfect time to grab your free copy of Michelle's tip sheet: How Professional Salespeople Can Love Their Families and Thrive at Work.

I dont know about you folks...but, my job is not my life.  I use my job help me support my life.  My kids are my life.  And, I dont think I would be much of a person without them in my life.  Not that Im trying to be a fatalist, but you never know what may happen to you or them. 

Spread the word about National Hug Your Kids Day!!! 

UPDATE ----- Michelle Nichols of National Hug Your Kids Day just called me!  Tina LoSasso of SalesDog called Michelle and told her about this little post I wrote.  Michelle called me to thank me for writing it and wanted to send a personal shout out to all of you that commented and helped spread the word.  She started this concept 6 months ago...and had state sponsered events in 17 states yesterday!  She is emailing me a photo of the first ever 'largest kid hug' in Reno and I will posting that photo soon.

So, from Michelle and her staff ---- THANK YOU ACTIVERAINERS!!  OUR KIDS ARE WORTH IT!!!
