Juan Mann....

Sometimes all it takes is Juan Mann to make a difference. In my web surfing adventures this evening I ran across two real gems. The one you see in my previous post and this one. Now, I'm not a hippie or a believer in free love but I am firm believer in the power of a Hug. When I worked retail at the Church bookstore I found myself hugging a lot of people and I mean a LOT. Sometimes they were sad, sometimes they were happy, or sometimes they were grateful to meet someone who would listen to them for just a little while. I don't know why and I never really question why people would so willingly hug me. I've always been a soft around the edges person and soft around the middle too ;o) And the truth of it was though, I actually enjoyed the hugs as much as those people. It filled something that I've missed a great deal lately. Mind you, I still get my fair share of hugs from my friends and family. But sometimes, you just need to hug someone who is or recently was a perfect stranger. I applaud that this man had the courage to fill a need for himself and for others. All it took was Juan Mann to make a difference... enjoy!
