The first thing you will receive when you come through is a big HUG! Unlike the other doors, you may not have to spend much time here but if you do, it will make you feel great! If it makes you uncomfortable, go knocking on tons of other doors and then please come back.

I love giving hugs but I don't see them given out much any longer. This makes me sad. I have a vision of someday volunteering at (or even funding one once I allow the financial abundance in) an orphanage. I picture myself giving hugs and holding babies all day long. The thought of this brings me an immense amount of joy. I'm not sure when a simple hug turned into a slimy 'move' to either get in your pants or molest you. Huh? Teachers are afraid to give their students hugs or are forbidden to do so. How have we become so afraid of touch? Sure, go ahead and touch screens all day long but don't you dare touch me. Right.

We all want, deserve and need hugs. It's the most fundamental form of a human connection - give & take. They are totally FREE and will instantly change the energy when you give a hug from your heart (versus an obligation). We've all experienced awkward hug moments! The most common is when someone comes in arms open and the handshake comes straight out to block it. Just give the hug right back. It won't harm you or your career; promise.

Be curious about how you feel about hugs. Are you okay giving them but getting one is awkward? Kinda nice when you get one but rarely you ever give one? Do you avoid them all together? Did you grow up in a hugger family or not? Do you think talking about hugs is utterly ridiculous? Hugging is definitely not something we go around thinking or having conversation about but it surfaces lots of good material. Let's tell everyone about Door #19 and create a movement to bring HUGS back wherever we go!

With love & hugs,
