These people have it right (check the link below)! If you can spread good karma to just one person, just give of yourself, open up and not be afraid, the world would change! I am learning new lessons every single moment I am here breathing. Change someone's life, give something of yourself. No matter how big or small. My heart aches at the pain we all face daily, all over the world. I am going to follow these folk's example. This Saturday (December 23, 2006 at around noon and until someone runs me off) I am going to be across the street from temple square, in front of Crossroads Mall in Salt Lake City. I will have a sign and be giving free hugs. If anyone needs a hug, I'll be there. Or even better, bring your own sign and hand out free hugs too. I would really like support in this. I think we can make a difference with things like this. Anyone who wants to, please email me. I would like to see all my friends there. Check out the link.

I will put our pics in my gallery. We didn't take too many. We were so busy handing out hugs!  I have never hugged so many people in all of my life. I could not believe the love and support shared by so many people. I felt a little uneasy at first, but with Ariel and Ashlie's help, we warmed right up. So many people shared so much. We went to give hugs and spread good karma. I was just amazed at how fast it came back to us! Every person we hugged was special. I could tell it affected Ariel and Ashlie too. So much need out there. So much love. We had occasional folks run from us, or put their hands in our faces, but I would say 90% wanted hugs! I couldn't believe the love that was shared from strangers. It gave me renewed hope in mankind. I went out to help, yet I believe all those people helped me more than I would have ever imagined. It was so beautiful. We met a gentleman who was playing flutes for everyone. He had been in a fire and had been badly burned. He had no fingers, yet he played so amazing. He saw what we were doing and asked us to stand next to him to help draw the crowds. When we got ready to leave, he came to get his free hug and whispered in my ear. He said, "I love you brother, have a blessed holiday". I held him tight for awhile. Perfect strangers shared love and compassion today. Today I learned a lesson I will never forget. Thank you to everyone. Thank you.
