This week's feature:
I usually try to pick organizations that truly change the whole world in drastic ways - feeding the hungry, breaking free those in bondage, giving hope to the hopeless... Sometimes I ignore organizations that don't give some sort of physical help.
However, I found Operation Beautiful and I was so impressed. I thought, these girls really could participate in this! This is just a lifestyle that we can adopt that really could change the world we live and work and walk in every day.
The main idea: To end "negative self-talk". To make people happier. To use our little effort to make a potentially huge difference in someone's day.
The founder of Operation Beautiful says:
I began Operation Beautiful by leaving positive messages on the mirrors of public restrooms — at work, at the gym, at the grocery store. I scribble down whatever comes to mind — "You are beautiful!" or "You are amazing just the way you are!" My personal goal is to leave as many Operation Beautiful notes as I can. Maybe some people read them and just smile, but I bet some people are truly touched by the effort of a random stranger.Now, people all over the world are participating. Not only is posting a note with a positive message SO easy, it feels really good.
To do your own note for Operation Beautiful, email seebriderun@gmail.com with a picture of your efforts! Maybe you can end up on her blog!
PS - Can you believe that this started with a blog? What could you do with your own blog? How can you change the world from your computer?
PPS - Thanks for your responses on the poll yesterday. I look forward to hopefully letting you all join in next week. If you haven't answered the poll, please do so here!

ReplyDeletelove this! what an amazing inspiration to women.
ReplyDeleteI was visiting a friend in Phoenix this week and visited a mall there and in the bathroom there were post-it notes every where reminding me of how beautiful I was. Made me feel so good!
ReplyDeleteThat is one fantastic concept. I think every woman struggles with negative self talk. I like the idea of remembering that you are a beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this project - it is so inspiring and wonderful. Thank you for sharing and thank you following.
