I don’t have much time for myself and I’m also trying to lose weight, but nothing really worked so far. And today, I visited Chapters bookstore to pick up some books about dieting and fitness. I was very upset with prices and sort of things these books were suggesting (I’m a living person, I can’t live on vegetables and spend 2 hours at the gym daily!), until I opened another book, and found a note "You are beautiful no matter that the scale says. Google operation beautiful". It was…surprising and very pleasant. I felt myself warm inside, just like I feel every time when I’m writing – the strange feeling that I am not alone, and someone cared to leave this note so I could find it. “

Instead I have the story of my beautiful, caring, wonderful, sister in law who struggled with anorexia for 30 years and committed suicide about two weeks ago – stepping off a high rise bridge because she never realized she was ENOUGH. Just the way she was. I wish I had told her one more time that she was beautiful.”

Another Cassie wrote in to say, “I posted this note in the community bathroom in my dorm a few days after finding the site through givesmehope.com. I wrote both sites names on the bottom in hopes that the message that everyone woman should feel beautiful and the message that there is always hope would be spread to even more people.”
