Free Hugs Given Here!
Step outta your comfort zone for just a second...imagine walking down a busy street and you happen upon someone holding up a sign offering Free Hugs. Would you participate? Hurry along with your day, pretending not to see? Give a weirdo stare? Or let go?
Celebrating in the Hug Campaign is as easy as letting go for one split second of your life and giving. Giving your arms to wrap around someone in a gesture of goodwill and love. It can be full on...wrap and engage or a simple squeeze. A hug never judges...it just is.
My lens hugs Solider's Angels, which is a volunteer-led nonprofit that encompasses over 20 different teams and programs. A portion of proceeds from this lens will be donated directly to this awesome project!

All About Hugs!
The physical benefits are powerful!
A hug is a form of physical intimacy that usually involves closing or holding the arms around another person or group of persons. The hug is one of the most common human signs of love and affection, along with kissing. Unlike some other forms of physical intimacy, it is practiced publicly and privately without stigma in many countries, religions and cultures, within families, and also across age and gender lines.
Sometimes, hugs are a romantic exchange. Hugs may also be exchanged as a sign of support and comfort. A hug can be a demonstration of affection and emotional warmth, sometimes arising out of joy or happiness at meeting someone.
Brief in most cases, it is used to show many levels of affection. It is not particular to human beings alone, as there are many species of animals that engage in similar exchanges of warmth.
Hugging has been proven to have health benefits. One study has shown that hugs increase levels of oxytocin, and reduce blood pressure.
There are different variations of hugs. Prolonged hugging in a cozy, comfortable position is called cuddling. Spooning is a cuddling position, a kind of hugging when both the hugger and the hugged persons face the same direction, i.e., the front of one person is in contact with the back of the second one.
The New York Times has reported that "the hug has become the favorite social greeting when teenagers meet or part these days" in the United States.
