The other day at Jazzercise class my instructor asked us if anyone had told us we were amazing that day.  Of course no one could say yes.  So she challenged us to tell someone they were amazing.  I took her advice and I was just was encouraged as my friend by that thought.

This is exactly the idea behind Operation Beautiful, a project started by a young woman named Caitlin who has a blog called Healthy Tipping Point.  Her mission is to, "encourage positive body image in women."  Her concept is simple:  leave inner beautify affirming messages in public places, like the one pictured above which I posted in our restroom at work. 

Everyone who post a note is encouraged to take a photo and email it Caitlin at seebriderun@gmail.com.  She is collecting and posting them on her Operation Beautiful web site.

We here at Jane Nation think this is a wonderful initiative and want to encourage all our Janes to get involved.  So, grab a stack of sticky-back notes and put them in your purse right now.  You can write on them ahead of time or write whatever is on your heart when you are prompted to leave a note.  Take a photo of your note and do two things: 

1)  Upload it to Jane Nation under the Currents section of the Powder Room and

2) Email it to Caitlin.  Be sure and mention that you are a Jane Nation member.

And remember, You are Amazing Just As You Are!
