Rae wrote, “I’ve been following the site for awhile now (subscribed to the rss) and reading the notes each day is always a highlight. A few days ago I posted my first notes. It was all rather spontaneous, but once I started it was very addictive. I posted a few on the train and then some more on the bus so I hope those who found them enjoyed it. Smiles rarely feature on public transport in my experience but I couldn’t help grinning to myself the whole time. I’ve struggled with depression and an eating disorder for a long time and little things like this really help break through the negativity. I’m full of ideas of notes I want to post next time and I know that the more I post the more likely I am to come across one written by someone else. It hasn’t happened yet but I’m looking forward to it spreading throughout my part of the world (Brisbane, Australia).”
Abby wrote, “I just wanted to let you know that the message is being spread…I didn’t have time to take the pictures, but while on a trip to China I made my friend teach me the Chinese characters for "you are beautiful" and posted some notes around Beijing and Xi’an! Also, Chinese people seem to do Operation Beautiful without even realizing it! While I was there, two strangers stopped and called me beautiful. Both times, it made my day! I wish people did that more often in the U.S.”
Erin wrote, “I’ve been reading about all the wonderful Operation Beautiful notes that people are putting up and was secretly hoping that one day I would find one myself. Then it dawned on me…I should spread the message myself! We are constantly told to get out there and go after what we want rather than sit back and wait for it to come to us. So I’m getting out there and doing it…I’m spreading the word about Operation Beautiful and I hope that one day it finds itself back to me. 
Thank you for starting such a simple, but effective, way for all of us to let others out there know that we are thinking of them and like them just the way they are!”

I’m VERY excited for you about your book being released in just a few days! It’s gonna be a great August for you!
I’ve read Operation Beautiful for quite a while now and I love the fantastic stories and ideas. It’s a great idea and a fantastic cause. But every once in a while, I see a message that says, “Real women have curves.” Even though I’m accused of being anorexic occasionally, I’m not – I eat more than the average cow. But I have a high metabolism, so I don’t have a lot of curves. So that kinda docks my confidence when I see it.
I agree – all women are beautiful, curves or not!
I’ve been posting these in the bathroom of my school every morning and afternoon, a particular girl keeps taking them down *sigh* … I’m not really sure what to do, but I keep putting them up, all around the bathroom, behind the toilet doors – EVERYWHERE. I even went to Priceline and put a post-it note on a Celebrity Slim pack! (: …. we gotta keep fighting back insecurity in the best way we know how
You should write a note just for the girl! Write “Why do you take me down? I make other people happy! Be happy, too and know that you are beautiful!”
