DON’T Regret MOM (Written Oct 21st, 2017)

“Getting closer to mom is going to look different for each of us. The point is you can only get closer to her today and I say that because we don’t know if you will be around tomorrow or she will be around tomorrow. And that’s why I say to get started with your 21-day hugging journey today within the next 21-hours.

If it comes up to you that you aren’t as close to your mom as you want to be - you are the only one who can change that. Planning it may be on day 1 saying to her "I am going on a 21 day journey because I want to get closer to you; this is a hugging journey about getting closer to you. Can we plan some special things over the 3 weeks to spend time together?" I am reading this book and it is talking to me about living how tomorrow isn’t promised. This is one example of how to really throw yourself into your life.

Now you may thinking of various objections, like my mom lives in Iceland or I work 80 hours a week. That is all relevant and at the same time that’s where you start to plan how can you make this work - because you are way too powerful to let the relationship with your mom slip away day after day, and don’t fool yourself and think that it’s not hurting your quality of life.

Note 2020: You can get closer to mom and get closure even if you have lost your mother. This is one of the many options to explore on a 21-day hugging journey in which you journal to her each day. Journaling is a very powerful therapeutic tool and just one of which is explored in the book HUG THERAPY. Check it out to learn more about the power of 21-day hugging journeys.

I hope everyone has a blessed and beautiful mother’s day. Thanks to all the mom’s out there that make the world begin for each of us and go round so much better more peacefully and last but not least full of positive hugging energies 🤗

In light. of everything going on in the world right now, we are starting a 21 Day Journey today. This is a great way to give virtual hugs to others, or even yourself.

• Take a walk outdoors.
• Have your kids draw pictures to send to nursing home residents.
• Play a game.
• Read that book you've been wanting to read for so long.
• Reach out to someone you haven't talked to in a while.

What are some ways you've given virtual hugs? Or what are some ideas for others?

I would love to have you join us. Message me if you would like to join in the journey to make a difference in your world.

I should have hugged you tighter and longer the last time I saw you Cherish all the moments you spend with your loved ones because you never know when will be the last time you get to hug them and tell them "I love you".
