    I'm a hugger. Many people react with shock, but how quickly they melt into a hug and hug back. Here is a hug, and a Squid Angel April Fools Tour blessing, too.

    I like this campaign. I recently heard from the news that a guy stood in front of a busy street to get as much hugs as possible to break a record and give the proceeds to a foundation that is dear to him. Like this lens a lot. 5*

    I'm the Director of Hugs at Global Hugs Ltd (www.globalhugs.com) - everybody needs a hug. Check out my free hug event video clips on youtube. It's International Hug Week from 1-7 May - would be great if we all co-ordinate hug events around the world.

    I recently got an email from a dance student I taught years ago, thanking me for teaching her to HUG! She said she is now very aware, whenever people hug - allowing their bodies to be far apart, not close and connected in the way that feels so GOOD... of the day she gave me a hug, and I requested a richer, closer, full-body hug.

    What an amazing piece of feedback for me to get! I taught her how to hug?
    Sooooper Cool!! :0) ~~~ [ [ HUG ] ] ~~~

    I love hugs. Sometimes I give someone something and they ask what do I want for it. I say, "How 'bout a big ol' hug?" They look at me kind of funny at first, but then their eyes light up and I get a big ol' hug. This is a great 5* lens.
  • Tipi Oct 30, 2008 @ 6:41 am | delete
    I should have know right from the get-go that it was one of your lens, ComfortDoc, it has your loving hand-prints all over it. I'm so glad you made this lens, I feel like I got my hug! Thanks so much! (5*'s)

    I stopped the onset of a panic attack by simply putting my hand on hers, and looking in her eyes. Hugging at that moment wouldn't have been right, but there are always ways to hug, even verbally when the important arms around you one isn't possible or advisable.

    Thanks

    A thank you (((HUG))) to you. What a lovely lens and great reminder of the depth of that kind gesture.
    One of my students at the high school I teach started a hug campaign in the hall way with her sign and on the second day was asked to stop by the administration...

    My church group and I did something similar years ago, before Free Hugs was so huge. We came back from a church trip and were full of love so we gave out free hugs in the airport while waiting for our flight. The security people were so confused...and worried, lol. It was fun though.

    5 stars!

    There was a guy giving out free hugs on a corner here in Vancouver last weekend. He was standing on the route of a march to free Tibet. I wasn't there as they walked through his location, and I'm still wondering if he got any takers.

    I went visiting the seniors with my Golden, a Therapy Dog. One of the residents (2 days ago) suddenly called me over and gave me a hug. She had declared that Saturday her own "hug day". She wanted it to be spread to as many other people as possible.

    So, I did! With my Golden, Nikki.
