Wednesday Notes – July 8, 2009

Yvonne wrote in to say: "I was at the Philly Airport on July 6th on my way home to Oakland, Ca and found a post it in my bathroom stall with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt and this website address. Thank you… who ever put it there!"

 

Vanessa from SPAIN wrote, "I send you a note that I left in the fitting rooms in Primark in Madrid. It says "Smile! Because you´re worth it"  Just after I left, a woman came cleaning the place and I thought that would be the end of it, but later I saw that the note was still there!"

Karrilee from Blessed Memories Scrapbooks by Karilee wrote, "I came across your blog just days before our summer family vacation was planned – so we gladly hoped on board, packed a Post It and our camera and set out to spread the love!  We left notes on bathroom mirrors in airports, train stations, airplanes, cabs, hotels, subways… you name it! From the west coast, to the East coast and back again!  What an incredible GIFT this is… I will continue to carry Post Its with me and have encouraged all my friends, family, and blog readers to do the same!" Stay tuned for more notes from Karrilee’s vacation!

Samantha wrote, "I hung this on my wall next to my computer so when I wake up every morning to check my e-mail it will be the first thing that I see.  I also went to Wal-mart right after I found out about Operation Beautiful and posted some notes in the girls bathroom one in a stall and one on the mirror. I absolutely love this idea.  So I bought more post-it-notes while I was there.  It made me happy to know that I made someone’s day a little better. I live in Dahlonega, Georgia. this will not be the last time you hear from me. I’ll be putting lots of random sticky notes everywhere from now on!"

Shannen wrote, "I didn’t take any pictures, but while  out the other day, I stuck post-it notes saying things like "you are beautiful" and "for every beauty there is an eye to see it" in restaurant bathrooms. Operation Beautiful has spread to St. Louis, MO!"

 

Ellie from Inside I am Dancing wrote, "I notice every morning how unhappy the commuters look on their way to work so I put up a note by the window on the bus- hopefully making someone’s journey more pleasant!"

Kristen from Inspired by Dooce wrote, "I was in a bookstore yesterday and decided to leave two notes. The first was in "The Flat Belly Diet" and it said "You are beautiful, just the way you are" (and I put the web address on it). I wanted to get a picture, but there were a LOT of people around (I think there was staff training or something). The second note was in a running book for women. I’ve attached a picture.   I left them both inside the front covers and I’m hoping they make people smile!"

Samantha wrote, "I just went to the post office and left a note on the drop-box mail box out side, and when I got back home I left some on the mail boxes at the beginning of our road. we have a really rough road so all of our mail boxes are at the very beginning. I just left them at random, so everyone has a chance at seeing them. If I made just one person smile today then it was worth it!"
