Oh, Free Hugs all around!

So I bought my black long sleeve Free Hugs shirt, and anxiously awaited it's delivery at my doorstep. When it came, I was stoked to wear it.

I put it on the next day and went out shopping. I got quite a few looks and I could tell people were reading my shirt.

Needless to say, I didn't buy anything so I walked out of the store, and on the way back to my car, I saw a woman walking toward me with her husband, and she said 'Okay. Right now!' as she put out her arms for a hug!

I walked up and gave her one with my whole heart.

That's what it's all about! Believe it or not, she made MY day. It feels good to give.

It's a lesson to all. You don't need money to give. A hug is just enough. Give it and make someones day... and your own!

We took my son out (in my sig file, as if that wasn't obvious) in his and made little videos. He was kind of shy about it, but he hugged 3 different people and even had some people asking us if they could hug him!

Well, if you can handle a walk to Hollywood, you should be able to handle that!

lol

That is true. So your show is on the 13th? So, I have to walk to Hollywood by the 13th and then walk back with enough time to go to the show on the 19th...hmmm...that might be a little difficult. But I have faith that I can do it!

LOL Hmmm.... Perhaps you could hitch hike part of the way? hehe

Unread postby **SweetPandemonium** » 03 Apr 2008 20:21

True. Just remember what I'm wearing when they end up finding my body in a ditch somewhere LOL.

Unread postby **Missy** » 03 Apr 2008 20:32

LOL NO!!!! Don't do it!!! I'd rather have you wait than end up in a ditch!

Hitch hiking + crazy person + ditch on the side of the road = BAD!!!!

LOL Ok. But, why couldn't I just fly back or take a bus? Who's idea was it for me to walk? LMAO

Unread postby **Missy** » 03 Apr 2008 20:35

Ummm... Shoot. I don't remember!!! Why WERE you walking?!? There's always a Greyhound bus... But that's probably more dangerous than hitchhiking! lmao
