Loading ...The 90 Day Free Hugs Challenge
22 Jun2009
Okay, recently on Twitter and in my posts, I may have eluded to some changes in my life and on the site. I am always trying to make things better (or more simple and green). The way I see it, my job here on earth is to make it a better place. But…I am getting ahead of myself.
It all started last week when Vlad Dolezal of Fun Life Development Blog (formerly an amazing mind), put a posting up on how he had finally mustered up the courage to go out and give free hugs. But that is not where it originated. Here is some info on the Free Hugs origins (Go to Wikipedia).
Now Vlad is an amazing guy with very inspirational posts. He has a unique way of looking at the world and making it a better place. I have been following him for a while now and decided to shoot him an email asking if he wanted to do a challenge. His response was so great from his posting that we decided to create a challenge – The 90 Day Free Hugs Challenge.
What better way to to start the week with a challenge about peace and love, especially in the recent setting both economic and political (something I stay away from). A serious challenge.
Starting on July 1, 2009, we are trying to get as many people as possible to go out on just one day, to offer as many hugs as possible – for free! Ya have to do it in a public place with strangers. Pretty scary…probably for most of us. You can do this any time over the 90 days. Let’s get thousands of people to sign up and give out millions of hugs.

Hi Stephen. This is a great idea. And now I have to just remember to actually do this when I’m out. How have you been making out with this?
BTW, I have just nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award and this hug challenge you are putting out is very deserving of that! I hope you will accept. Cheers.

Davina…I have contacted you about the Kreativ Blogger award and am fastidiously working on my nominations. It involves some serious contemplation.
Thank you for the accolades on the challenge and my blog. I try to make a difference. Have you joined the 90 Day Free Hugs Challenge yet or shared it with your twitter followers or web audience?
