Love is all you need!

I found a neat website that chronicles one man's journey to offer free hugs to anyone who wanted them. It's such a beautiful idea and I'd seen the video of this a few years back. He's also been on Oprah as well. It's such a simple concept, but there's so much more to it. A hug is such a powerful symbol. Sometimes, just that contact with another person is all you need to lift up your spirits or renew yourself.

This week also marks the arrival of the World of Warcraft expansion. My online friends are already playing it as we speak. Most have been up since they purchased the xpac at midnight! Now that's dedication! I guess if I was younger I would put in a marathon gaming session, but nowadays I can't bring myself to do that anymore. And while I love my cute little Night elf Druid and sexy Blood Elf warlock, it's going to take a bit to level them up.

Going to be a Bright, Sun-Shiney Day

I can hardly believe it happened, but it did. I am so proud to be an American today. We can really finally all come together now and make things work.

I was sitting in my bed last night watching the election results pour in and saw so much positive energy in the crowds and in the reporters. It was truly an historic night. As part of GLBT America, we are going to see some wonderful moves forward in equality and civil rights.
