Why hugs?
Why hugs? My Mom loved hugs and was a world-class hugger. She passed this trait on to me.
Florida
I’ve given hugs at many different locations in Florida, but especially in Sarasota and St. Petersburg.
Hawaii
While in the small town of Waikulu on the island of Maui in Hawaii, I donned my Free Hugs shirt and was warmly embraced by these two young workers at a juice shop.
Tennessee
While in Chatanooga, TN, I donned my FREE HUGS shirt and was noticed by these two utility workers who wanted hugs. It was their first time hugging a stranger!
The Importance of Hugs
Hugs are a fundamental part of human interaction. A hug is a physical expression of care, love, support, and empathy, which not only makes us feel affectionate, but also has many physiological and mental health benefits.
Hugs and Human Connection
One of the most important things in life is human connection. It brings joy, happiness, and satisfaction to our lives. However, in today’s busy world, we often overlook the importance of physical touch, such as hugging.

People have many different ideas about what Tinder is. Is it a hookup app? Is it a dating app? Is it something else? Opinions and intentions vary. To me, any use of Tinder is a good and valid one. I once got some web development work instead of a date from someone. Sometimes I end up making friends instead of finding relationships.
