Operation Beautiful
I want to share this amazing site/program I discovered a few weeks ago. OperationBeautiful.com is wonderful. It is run by a local woman named Caitlin and it is her brainchild. When she was trying to get fit for her wedding day, Caitlin began posting positive post-its to herself, like “You are beautiful just as you are!” She started a webpage/blog about it.
It has since spread across the globe. Women and girls are sticking post-its in public places for other women to read. For example, they will post them in bathrooms in stores on the mirrors and on scales at the gym. I cannot recommend this site enough to females of all ages.
Caitlin encourages people to take pictures of themselves putting the notes up or to write to her about it. I recently posted a bunch at my gym. (She is adding my story about it to the site this Friday.) You can see the pictures and notes on the site. You can also read how these simple acts have helped and changed the lives of many girls & women. It's incredibly inspiring. I encourage each and every one of you to check it out & post a note or two somewhere this week.
Challenge to this class (and reader's of this blog): I challenge every one here to post at least one note in the next week or two. It feels good. : )
Please post here about your experience (what you wrote, where, how it felt, etc.)
You ARE Beautiful!!!
Namaste',

Hopefully this cause grows bigger and they can start making stickers and stuff.
Namaste to you!
