Free Hugs Campaign

What is Owning Pink?

Owning Pink is an online community that provides a safe space for women and men to reclaim their mojo and their authentic selves through connection with like-minded individuals. Begun as a website and series of workshops aimed at helping women reclaim their girlytude, Owning Pink has quickly evolved into a place of unconditional love, acceptance, sharing, and healing. Here you are welcome to remove all facades and tap into your most authentic Pink spark. You are invited to live your truth, tell your story, feel your pain, express your joy, take what you need, and give what you will. Dr. Lissa Rankin and the Mojo Mentors are here to offer guidance, inspiration and ideas through Pink posts and workshops, and the Pink Posse forum is your place to tell your story and connect with other Pinkies. We are committed to helping you live as fully as you can, in whatever way your spirit calls you to do so. Welcome to the Pink Posse.

Free Hugs is one of my favorite oldies-but-goodies in the world of viral videos. It launched so many other feel-good videos — Christian the Lion, the Stand By Me Music Project. Whenever I need a lift, I go click!

This is for real? A real live Free Hugs foundation? How Pink is that! (You can see I’ve been out of the loop. I was too busy being a doctor and then I had to go to my cave for a few years, so I’m reemerging these days with WIDE EYES!)

Thank you, Melissa. For opening those eyes. And thank you Sarah for the Stand By Me Music Project rec. Just looked it up and will post it soon (in case anyone else was in their cave and missed it too!)

Actually, you’re not THAT out of the loop… Sarah is just way IN! I didn’t know about it either. I just looked it up!

Ah, you’re sweet. WHEW! (But I have a feeling I AM that out of the loop. And I know for a fact that, Sarah, the Guru of New, is in fact that IN!) But thanks for saying so, Melissa!
