Free Hugs

I want to share the following video with you:

This video is such a wonderful idea, and the music is perfect for the video as well.

It's time to pass out the FREE  HUGS signs all over the country--and then NEXT, the world.  There are those who may immediately judge this as "pie-in-the-sky idealism"  but we have to start somewhere.  John Lennon would have loved this guy's vision!   Even if you don't agree with the idea presented in this video, or you couldn't imagine hugging a "stranger," just sit back and enjoy watching it...it's a heartwarming experience.  :-)

Sending love and a Big Hug to you today,
Eileen

Video Description

Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.   (I don't know if his real name is Juan Mann, but if it is, he was certainly named appropriately!)

In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe-inspiring.

In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person...

PS. The response to this video has been nothing short of overwhelming and touching. Hugs to every single one of you who messaged. There have been thousands of emails from all over the world by people seeking to participate in the Free Hugs campaign and asking for permission. You do not need permission. This is the people's movement, this is *your* movement. With nothing but your bare hands you can make THE difference.

Imagine all the people.
