Operation Beautiful

We all have those days. The days where our clothes just don't seem to properly fit, a nasty pimple shows up or there's that one hair which won't stay put. Today in the ladies room I overheard an extremely skinny girl claiming she was fat.

This sort of self-judgement has got to stop.

Finally there is an initiative to remind us we are beautiful despite any criticism society inflicts on our physical image.

My dear friend Laura sent me a blog this morning which lead me to the blogger's other site - Operation Beautiful.

http://operationbeautiful.com/

Caitlin is our blogger's name. She began Operation Beautiful because she was dedicated to ending negative self-talk.

"Through Operation Beautiful, I hope we can all encourage a positive body image in ourselves and others.  I truly believe that your beauty comes from the inside, and your unique qualities that make you YOU should be valued and celebrated."

How do Caitlin and her readers accomplish spreading the good word of Operation Beautiful? By leaving anonymous notes in bathrooms, windows and other public places reminding people of their inner beauty. It's a really neat concept of "paying it forward" but not nearly as cheesy as the Kevin Spacey movie.

Here's my challenge to you, reader. Find a way to leave an anonymous message reminding people of they're beauty and self worth.

Y'all are all hot and know it :)
