your daily rock : give free hugs

March 28, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

“We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth…” -Virginia Satir

One of the most remarkable moments in my life was centered around free hugs. I can still remember the moment when my daughter Emma walked into the center of Main Street with her “Free Hugs” sign. It is a story to remember, a turning point.

Try to give at least 4 hugs today. Aim for 12.

Love,
