A hug is like a boomerang – you get it back right away.  ~Bil Keane, “Family Circus”

Free Hugs Campaign ~

Imagine finding yourself, a stranger but not in a strange town,  but in your own home town.

Juan Mann left London to go back to his hometown in Sydney.  As the people ran up and greeted others with hugs, kisses and tears he stood there alone, which made him feel even more alone.

With a few office supplies he made a sign and started changing the world.  While he stood in the street with people staring, thinking he was rather crazy.  But the thing is a hug is free, yet it is also priceless.  It touched one woman’s heart and she told him her story, and he hugged her.   Slowly a campaign grew, and grew, and now it is worldwide.

When you think you can not change the world alone, stop and share a smile, or a hug.  You just changed the world. ~ The Divine
