The Hug Therapy Book

Guess who walked into my guest house...
A joy from the past, a blessing and renewed friend.
In the 80s I came across and owned a Dutch copy of 'the Hug Therapy Book'.
I loved it!
It was simple, quirky, lovely and carried a great message -hugging is free, readily available and good for you! It was especially great for me at that time, since hugging -just 'cause- was not a very socially common thing to do in Holland, and I felt vindicated by the book.

Last week, a -belated- Christmas card came in the mail from Holland. Inside my friend's card was a new Dutch copy of 'the Hug Therapy Book'.
How cool that it has crossed my path again!
Especially now that my business is about Hugs!
My wish is to get the word out about this book and carry it on the BearHugs website. It is still very contemporary, touching and necessary in today's detached society!

The author, Kathleen Keating is currently working on a book concerning the world's food distribution. She is wonderfully talented and an inspiration! Please check out her site at: http://www.bykathleenkeating.com/
