Visit the HUG Stage

Please, watch the HUG tutorial before hugging, it's very important!

(Scroll down to skip the small talk and order your shirt, today!) 

Hello, my name is Meochia Nochi Thompson and I believe everyone needs a HUG! If you love to hug, too, I know you understand the importance the human touch. Hugs help us to live longer, happier and healthier lives. They benefit everyone. Science proves it. HUGS cross color, gender and race lines, social-economic lines, injustices and lifelines. They are much needed and much appreciated. They help us to feel better about ourselves and others. I've been going around the world hugging for over four years and I'd love for you to join in my quest to spread love through hugs. Just buy a t-shirt, watch the tutorial to give you some tips on hugging the public and share your hug story. The greatest commandment is to love and each time you open your arms to a stranger, you are doing just that. I've had a life of disfunction, sexual abuse and molestation but I refuse to let that hinder me from loving others and spreading messages of forgiveness, redemption and triumph over life's battles. If you've been hurt and are scared to trust, please consider opening your arms in victory and letting love win. You will rise again and you are much bigger and better than your past. I call this HUG THERAPY and trust me, it can be helpful but it all starts with an open heart. May God bless you on your journey!

I even created HUG Stage, "A Safe Space to Embrace"! It's a 264 sq ft wooden structure that's bright red like a heart and shaped like a hug! It has a cool poem on the back that I wrote called "Love Looks Like" and it's even written in Braille! Maybe I can bring it to your event so everyone can join in. 

This is the poem on the back of the HUG stage and it is also written in Braille on the front side of the HUG stage:

This Is What Love Looks Like

By Meochia Nochi Thompson

 

A repellent of bitterness, the opposition of hate

A friend to forgiveness, everyone makes mistakes

It treats all as equals and doesn’t discriminate

Love looks like the welcoming of a stranger

And the sweetness of long embraces

It Helps Uplift Goodness and puts smiles on faces

 

Love is little sticky hands on soft cheeks

Filled with warm tears and gentle kisses

It sees beyond beauty and surpasses the best wishes

 

It pushes past the pain and still believes beyond the hurt

That although we don’t look, sound, feel, believe or think alike

We are all God’s work!

HUG you later!
