Free Hugs

I clicked on a link from someone's signature. I can't remember who's it was now, but it led me to this.

And I think it is an awsome thing. I am inspired to start a Free Hugs Campaign right here in Richmond. Everyone needs a hug every now and then.

RecyclingGoddess had it in her sig, last I checked :) I followed the link, too...and spent about 10 minutes crying. It really is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen/heard of :)

The idea behind it is good, but I know that I wouldn't walk up to some guy I didn't know and hug him.

I've hugged strangers before so its not a problem for me. I'm going to make a shirt this week and get a buddy and go to the mall or somewhere there are a lot of people and just hug people.

this is such a beautiful thing. im mostly not into this corny stuff but this is just awesome. i think im going to do this this weekend

I saw that a while back and cried like a little girl...it was the little old woman that got me, she was just so sweet. I think the whole thing is great...

I too leaked salty stuff from my eyes! For like, 30 min.... :oops:


I agree, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!!! Period.

I was in Playa Da Carman Mexico over Christmas. We went into the town and saw three ladies with a sign in english and spainish that said " Free Hugs ". Believe me these ladies had no problem getting hugs, two from me, :D :D

Here's some more about it:

it's really amazing... i saw the video and added it to my magazine the same day, then i added it to my signature and a while later i saw the guy on oprah...

i really love the video... ;) and i'm so glad to read it inspired YOU!

I cried too, I still am doing it. At first when it didn't look like anyone was going to take him up on his offer, I was so sad. Then they started and it was just so sweet. I can't believe they tried to ban people reaching out to each other. I think it is wonderful!!!

the song rocks :gj:

The song does rock, and on Sunday, I went to work and made myself a little sticker that said Free Hugs and stuck it on my nametag. And guess what! I got a hug! I was so excited. I was telling a woman about Free Hugs and she just threw open her arms and we gave each other a big hug. She left with a smile on her face. It made me happy. :)

Dang, I hate crying. :oops:

I got two new hugs today. Once again I was wearing my "Free Hugs" sticker and a mom with two of her children came up to the register and ordered. She saw my sticker and told her kids. "Look she's giving out free hugs. Does anyone want a free hug." Both children were very young. 2-3 years of age. Both got excited and the mother put first the little girl on the counter. The little girl walked over and gave me a big hug. Next was the little boy. The two were so adorable. After they got thier drinks the little boy was asking his mom to let him give me another hug but I was too busy with a line to go over and give him one. I love this free hugs thing though. Hugging people makes me feel good. :grouphug: :hug:

Me and my friend were thinking of doing that but after a little experiment I did, I don't know if it'll work. The basic idea of my experiment was to say to people wave and smile and see who said hi back. The results were kinda saddening, 5 people out of about 50 said hi back and some just downright avoided me!! What is our world coming to??

I'm gonna have to make one of those stickers, I need a hug today :(

I know its no real hug but I hope it helps

:hug:

Thanks, Matt! I'm in emo mode, hope the wine tonight cheers me up.
