Mixed up in this sometimes dark and ridiculously cruel world are some truly fine human beings.

Tonight, I found one of them as I happened upon a site run by “Caitlin” called "Operation Beautiful:" http://www.operationbeautiful.com/I should be sleeping, but I don't think I can rest until I tell you about Caitlin's project.

Intended for girls aged 8-14, “the mission of Operation Beautiful is to post anonymous notes in public places for other people to find.”  The site is run by “Caitlin,” who you can learn more about from her blog called Healthy Tipping Point:  http://www.healthytippingpoint.com/

Caitlin writes: “I began Operation Beautiful by leaving positive messages on the mirrors of public restrooms — at work, at the gym, at the grocery store.  I scribble down whatever comes to mind — "You are beautiful!" or "You are amazing just the way you are!"  My personal goal is to leave as many Operation Beautiful notes as I can. “

Armed with post-it notes and a Sharpie, I intend to try it tomorrow, hopefully with my seven-year-old in tow.  I will let you know how it goes in tomorrow’s post.  And please, if you give it a go, post what you did either here or on my facebook page. You can also find a facebook page about Operation Beautiful.

Wishing you sweet and beautiful dreams,
