Post-It Phrase of the Day: “To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.”

Before she left, she said she wanted to make a difference in people’s lives at our school. She then went on to tell me about the Operation Beautiful website. She said that she had been sticking 2 Post-it notes in the bathrooms every day for the past few months. On the last day of school she decided she wanted to blow up the bathroom with the Post-its and asked for my help. So that morning we met in the bathroom and did just that.Throughout the day we would be walking down the hall together and see all these girls with the notes. We saw them with smiles on their faces and showing their friends and just talking about how awesome it was.…. Operation Beautiful has also helped me very much. Even though I have never had any major issues such as, an eating disorder, cutting myself, etc., I have had those thoughts where you look at yourself in the mirror and you just don’t like what you see. I have put myself down many times and for many reasons. However, reading the uplifting posts on the website has helped me a lot. I see myself in a completely different way, and I just don’t care what others think of me. Also, I got the Operation Beautiful book for Christmas and just started reading it last night. I could not put it down! Reading all the stories from people about how they’ve turned their lives around and everything was just amazing.”

Now there’s a huge group of girls participating in my school! These are the stickies I plan to stick all over my school and 2 jobs tomorrow, and that’s ONLY tomorrow’s stickies! I’m determined to make every single person in my school smile.”
