REACH OUT AND TOUCH

*For many people, physical contact with another human being is healing. It has been recognized since ancient times as having transformative, healing powers.

*Have you hugged anyone lately? Held someone's hand? Put your arm around another human being?

*You probably know several people who enjoy hugging or physical touching. If you're comfortable with their touch, encourage it in the weeks and months to come.

*Hug someone you feel safe with . Kiss your children or a friends baby. Walk arm in arm with a neighbor.

*You may want to listen to the song title "I Know What Love Is," by Don White. I have found this song helps me reflect on the power of touch.
