And they're not just any hugs --- they're HUGS. Long, tight, and meaningful. I make it a point to try and be fully present with people when I greet them. Sometimes it's easier said than done, but intentions go a long way. Great post, and wonderful site! <I><B>Laurie:</b> Wow - a real hug! Don't see those often. Intentions do go a long way; people pick up on the energy even if the action isn't quite where you want it to be. Thanks for visiting my site and for your kind words.

I can't say enough good about it. I've known for quite some time about the first impression rule in regards to meeting people for the first time, but I never thought about something like this. Thanks for sharing this. It deserves to be widely advertised. I'll try to get something going on Twitter today. <I><B>Laurie:</b> Glad you liked the video too, Stephen. I thought it made the point really well - it's one thing to have written about how to do it and quite another to watch it.
