Btw I will be in Vancouver beginning of September if you are short on hugs.

Haha, thanks Joel! Look me up when you are in Vancouver, and maybe we can meet for coffee and a hug!

Sure will Karen, I will probably be staying out near Langley but hope to be in Downtown for one night before departing.

Timely post - thank you.

Right after reading this post, I headed out to run some errands and noticed a billboard near my home that made me stop in my tracks. It read:

Hug a stranger today. If you go back far enough we are all related somehow.

It then advertised their website: People for Good.ca which documents 5 canadians over 7 days doing good deeds for strangers and the impact their good deed had.

Although it is a fairly small / new website I thought some of the ideas they had listed (including hugging) were a great start.

I definitely want to hug Steve! Considering how much time I spent reading his stuff, I feel like he deserves a hug and I deserve one in return lol

It took me a while to warm up to hugs. However, back when I felt uncomfortable with hugs, people who gave me genuine and warm hugs were very memorable to me indeed. It can be an amazing energy connection and instantly lets you get to know the person in a totally different way. I love the fact that I have lots of huggy friends around me, who don't let me get away without LOTS OF hugs. How did I get so lucky?
