  You are going about your business when something triggers the memory of a situation or a person. You feel some bad feelings around the tummy. You want to stop thinking about it, but it keeps coming back like a buzzing fly on a hot summer day. Sounds familiar? Negative thoughts and the resulting emotions are pretty common.

  “I love your shoes,” remarked the elderly gentlemen sitting across from me in the clinic waiting room. My ‘shoe du jour’ was a black, velour, backless slide, with intricately gold swirls across the top. In the center of the one-inch, black heel ran a bold, golden stripe. Spotting them in one of the many ‘junk’ magazines that overflows my mailbox, much like a person   on ‘crack,’   I just had to have them. A steal at $14.99, they looked   way   more expensive. Full disclosure. I’ve never met a shoe that I didn’t like. So, when pondering how to look rich and classy, I start with shoes with minimal effect.

  All our emotions need validation and acceptance. Hug just gives us that. When our sky is falling, we need an arm to embrace. When it’s raining blessings, the warmth of a hug elevates it. When there seems no light, we seek light in the warmth of a hug. When failure traps you, it’s the support of a big bear hug that motivates us to keep moving.
