Today, for those who don’t know it, is Good People Day.  It was created last year by Gary Vaynerchuk as a way of giving some love to someone in your life who is kind of an “unsung hero.”

Today, I want to give a huge “good person” shout out for my sister, Sarah Jackson.  Sarah is an incredibly gifted communicator: she is an amazing graphic designer, artist and storyteller.  When we were kids, we would always compete in art class to see who could get the most “votes” at the end (from our classmates).  I was a salesperson, so I could “sell” my art; but, when the teacher took away my ability to sell, she would always win based purely on artistic skill.

She has illustrated, written, and published a really cool line of children’s books called “A Jam Story” that have become favorite reading material for my kids (and many others).

She’s also a tenacious runner; in college she would take me out for runs.  Again, being competitive I thought I would leave her in my dust.  Nope.  She killed me.  She’s recently been running in half-marathons and doing very well.

Sarah’s character shines in her drawings, her stories, and her life.  Get to know her by going to her site:www.ajamstory.com.
