Time for some Free Feel Good Factor

We are on the brink of a doom and gloom recession, the british summer is so depressing so I decided to hair pin turn it on its head and share some free "wont be affected by the oil prices" love and happiness.

Thanks Dawn Sheilds for posting this on your xanga blog, it's an all time pick me upper!



Thanks to Bob Proctor for sharing this also, it isnt a fake video for the band , this guy Juan Mann actually goes out onto the streets and gives free hugs.
From Bob's insight of the day the condensed version of this video story goes..
Shimon Moore, the lead singer of "The Sick Puppies" happened to see Juan. They hugged and became friends. Moore borrowed a video camera and filmed Juan giving hugs. When Mann's grandmother died, Moore put the video together with his band's song called, "All The Same" and posted the video on "YouTube" with the following caption:"Sometimes, a hug is all we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole purpose mission was to reach out and hug a stranger, to brighten up their lives."The video was a hit. It spread around the world. Juan has appeared on Oprah and several other major television shows. His idea continues to gain support and grow.



Enjoy life, Hug, Dance & Be Happy!
