Tonight I thought about sharing one of the best ways to re-heat pizza.

Or growing my own wheat grass.

But instead I decided to post about Caitlin’s totally inspiring, sweet idea over at A Healthy Tipping Point.

She calls it Operation Beautiful and it’s catching on. She’s been leaving post it notes in restrooms, elevators and other public places for other people, other women, to see.

After reading some of the great notes women were leaving for themselves, their friends, coworkers, strangers, I was motivated to grab a pad of post its and a sharpie as we headed out the door for the library this afternoon.

I left two notes.

One on the mirror of the bathroom of the children’s restroom, up high for all the mama’s in there to see!

I know I’ve looked in that mirror more than once and silently criticized myself.

You need to exercise more.

You need to eat less.

You need to stop returning library books late.

I thought of another spot in the library I’ve stood and felt less than great about myself too.

In front of the stacks in the Health section.

Today I looked through the book shelves and picked out one of my favorite books, Fit From Within. I flipped through until I found an appropriate chapter and left a note for the next person to find.

As I was writing my note, Ava watched and asked what it said.

I told her, “It says, ‘You are beautiful'”

“Who’s beautiful?”

“You are!”

At least I’m sure I spread the message that you are beautiful to one girl today. Maybe even two. 😉

And oh yeah, re-heating pizza in a covered frying pan is the best. On low, for about 5 – 7 minutes.
