"What's your favorite candy bar?" That's a question I occasionally began asking the check-out clerks when I went grocery shopping. Then, "May I give you a hug?" The varied responses and stories I received are what initiated this small book. What if we pay it forward to those behind the cash register, blessing the person in front of you, not necessarily the ones buying gourmet coffee behind you?

In loving the next person we meet, and giving them a kind word, a smile, a nice touch on the shoulder or even a hug, we begin brightening the energy around us. It truly doesn't take much to make a difference!

You may not be able to change THE world, but you CAN change YOUR world. Today! What if all it takes is Candy Bar Hugs?
