Lou, It brought a big, seemingly permanent, smile to my face.
Hey Lou, great minds hug alike, I just watched this yesterday, it bought a tear to my eye, and then I did what you did and sent it to everyone I know! I introduced hugging into my family – being typical poms they’re were not used to showing their affection. I lived in the USA for a couple of years and discovered hugging is as a normal wonderful part of everyday life. Now my Mum, and siblings hug each other and say “I love you” every time we speak to each other. Legalise Hugging I say!
Wow, that is touching – viral peace, love and harmony done in a way that can move energetically everywhere and with anyone open and present in the moment! It has to start with one person and that guy who took the risk to start followed something bigger than him for it to end up with 10000 and more people moved to a better way of looking at things and feeling it physically! Thanks for sharing that & giving me the courage to continue sharing that mind, body, spirit message… We’re all connected in some way. Thanks, Lou.
Love it Lou.
This reminds me of another great event about to happen:
The INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SMILES
On Dec 9 they are giving away a vacation on a Caribbean Island … just for a SMILE!

Now that deserves a hug.

I was cleaning out email — the morning chore — and knew that I just didn’t have an extra 3 minutes and 39 seconds. But something told me to click through anyway. I never expected THIS. Even as a self-professed “great hugger” I was moved to tears from the moment of that first hug all the way through to the 39th second. My day is gonna be a lot better than I expected bcause I took this time. Thanks, Lou, for stopping my busy-ness (business) to remind me that hugs are precious … and treasured.
Geez, I’m a weeping mess. How beautiful this is and I will pass it along. When participating or leading workshops hugs are a part of the day and I love that energy. Since we are all connected are we not just connecting to another part of us and embracing that? Who knew hugging could be an expansive act. But it does make us bigger by opening our hearts for that one or two seconds.
Thanks Lou.
Hi Lou,
I almost passed this by but since you are not one to waste my time I stopped and took a look. I just started crying…it was beautiful and affirmed what power a simple hug can have in the lives of so many. Also in a very contained way you could witness the ripple effect of one persons actions. I love hugging and the connectedness with another human being in such a cool level. You can feel their energy and they can feel yours.
I am sending you a hug right now…not the same as if you were here but it will have to do.
Hi Lou, I find it interesting that you are highlighting this video because I saw it the day before yesterday on youtube.com and it made me cry. What a coincidence..or not. I use to live in the States and I miss hugging people, although we kiss on both cheeks here in Spain. I want to propose we do both! Showing affection and love can be infectious…like a virus; which is what the person doing the video was trying to do.
And jugging by the results, he acomplished his goal. Good marketing lesson: move people emotionally and they’ll spread the word!
Thanks Lou; Just shows the effect of a random act of kindness, and the powere of a single hug! There is an interesting story in the Globe this AM about an elementary school teacher who lived very frugally but gave incredible sums of money to charity, as a result of inspired investments. Another example of the good in inherent in people.
Wow! Isn’t it amazing what just one action can do? Wouldn’t it be incredible if we all did this? In this world of email, internet and cell phones it’s easy to forget that were it not for the PEOPLE out there, we would have no business. If you’re reading this now, consider yourself hugged. And thank you so much, Lou, for sharing this. If I ever meet any of you, I will gladly share a hug but until then, a virtual one will have to do. My day is thoroughly brightened. Have a blessed day.
