My favorite form of appreciation, the chest bump, is often overlooked as a viable option to show confidence, trust, sophistication and mood.

While once frowned upon, this masculine display of compassion which originated in the USA, is now becoming more and more welcomed by persons of many cultures, catching up to the more traditional hand-shake.

Yet why must we limit it to such areanas as athletic fields, and gynmasiums? Let's embrace this greeting within our homes, our offices, and our communities.

Perhaps one day in my lifetime, the international sign of peace will bring two nations together with a full-hearted chest bump.
