May this dress remind us of the power of a hug!

So today give hugs!!! 

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. 

We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. 

We need 12 hugs a day for growth. 

Virginia Satir

below is a short bio and links to read more ...

Virginia Satir was a 20th century psychotherapist who is often referred to as the pioneer of family therapy. 

PROFESSIONAL LIFE

Virginia Satir was born in Neillsville, Wisconsin, on June 26, 1916. A bright child with an explosive sense of curiosity, she taught herself how to read at the age of three and recalled wanting to become a detective when she was very young. This early interest in uncovering the truth became a lifelong passion through her therapeutic practice.

Satir attended the Milwaukee State Teachers College, now the University of Wisconsin, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in education in 1936. She worked as a teacher for six years and continued her studies as a graduate student by taking classes in the summers at Northwestern University in Chicago, beginning in 1937. Eventually, she returned to school full-time at the University of Chicago School of Social Services Administration.

After completing her thesis and receiving her master’s degree in 1948, Satir immediately began a private practice, and within a few years, she was offered a position with the Illinois Psychiatric Institute. While there, she worked with other therapists to teach them the importance of addressing the whole family during treatment, not just the individual client. She recognized that the problems of an individual extend to the family and often stem from the family.

My mission in life 

is not merely to survive, 

but to thrive; 

and to do so with 

some passion, 

some compassion, 

some humor, 

and some style.

The turning point in the
