The Coronavirus is wreaking havoc in people’s lives in unanticipated ways. Voluntary semi-quarantine, which I am engaged in now, except to go to work and have the occasional visit with my son, daughter in-law and newborn grandson has become a familiar experience over the past week. I am symptom-free and hopefully, virus free and will remain so. I don’t want to be a carrier or expose myself or anyone else needlessly. As a result, I have had to curtail a regular activity.

Since I can’t go out and hug people as is part of my passion and purpose until it is safe to do so, I am sending virtual hugs to the world. I am asking you to join me in circulating this logo that was designed by my friend Greg Campisi and is on the sign that I carry when I go out and do my FREE HUGS events. Share virtual hugs with your family and friends or anyone that you think could use it. This is a decision-making point for every one of us, do we want to live immersed in love or fear? Although it is challenging at times not to topple over into fear, I consciously and repeatedly choose love.
