Free hugs

If you’ve never accepted a free hug from one of those people with the “Free Hugs” signs, I suggest you remedy that ASAP. I also suggest you pose for a photo in the process. Hugs for all!

Up and coming on doniree.com:

  • Photos from wine-tasting in McMinnville
  • Photos and notes about my visit with my parents over the weekend
  • A life-in-general kind of update where I tell you more about this internship I started (with a chef!) and point you to some amazing from-scratch things I’m learning how to make.
  • You asked, I’ll blog it – a few separate people asked me last week, “So… how exactly did you get to be a full-time freelancer?” So I’m going to answer that.
  • Giveaways x2. A cute Etsy accessory-maker and some really cute t-shirts.

So! Much! Stuff! Stick around, yo.

(And no, I don’t know this guy. Never seen him before in my life. So what?! Hugs for everyone! In fact, this is my little virtual hug for YOU!)

I have ALWAYS wanted to see someone with a sign like that. I would definitely hug them.

My little sister and I were going to go to the mall and give away free hugs a few years ago, I even had a t-shirt made for it that said “I <3 Hugs!" (which is lost now), but then Life got in the way and we forgot about our grand plan.

I saw a guy wearing a FREE HUGS tshirt by the pool in Vegas and I just stopped in front of him and held my arms out. It took him a second but then he remembered and he picked me up and twirled me around. And then humped me so I guess that was free too.

We gave out free hugs one Christmas Eve in San Francisco’s Union Square. :) Fun times.

I totally accepted a Free Hug once and it was the best thing ever! I love it when the Free Hugs people invade Pike Place in Seattle – makes my day!
