I Love Post-It's!
Recently my friend Mandy told me about the most awesome thing ever.
I dont know wether to call it an organization, a movement?
But It's all about Post-It's!
It's called Operation Beautiful.
(go ahead google it)
"The mission of Operation Beautiful is to post anonymous notes in public places for other people to find. The point is that WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL. You are enough... just the way you are!"
How amazing is that? just spreading positivity and happiness literally where ever you go?
[I am a firm believer that it's so important to simply love being YOU!]
and how wonderful is it to spread that message and scatter a little sunshine all with just a post-it.
Then I heard this story at Devotional.
"David writes a Post-It note to his daughter every night before he goes to bed. He puts it in a place where she will be sure to find it in the morning--on her mirror, in her lunch box, on her bedroom door, or in some other conspicuous place. On each note he writes something he appreciates about her. 'I appreciated your help with the dishes tonight' or 'I was really inspired by how hard you worked on your math and got an A on your final.' One day he went into her room looking for a lost hammer. On his way out he saw 250 post-it notes stuck on the back of her bedroom door. His daughter has kept every one if his notes. So now, every time she leaves her bedroom she sees 250 notes of appreciation that remind her that somebody loves her. What a powerful message. What wonderful therapy. All from a simple post-it note."
This whole post-it note business is seriously so inspiring.
It's just a tiny piece of paper but how great can you make someone feel with a simple little post it note?
Leave them for strangers to stumble upon.
Leave them for the ones you love.
Leave them for people who may need a little extra boost that day.
Just spread a little love, and all it takes is a piece of paper.
We don't get the answers we want. Things don't work out or go our way. Sometimes life happens and hurts our heart a little (or a lot). But the beauty is that it's ok. Heavenly Father is listening and there is honey to be had. The sting will fade and we will come out on the other side a little stronger for having gone through that. In the past few days I've spent a good amount of time with just me and my thoughts. And while thinking (and over thinking) doesn't ease the hurt as much, some realizations do come. No one said growing pains are super fun. But I've decided that it is these times that help us become exactly who the Lord needs us to be. I've just been trying to remember...
