be yourself.. everyone else is taken.











Earlier this summer, a couple friends and I went downtown to contribute to "operation beautiful", a project where people anonymously put encouraging quotes on post-it notes in public places, like bathroom walls, doors, and benches.  We had so much fun posting them all around the city and even handing some to fellow pedestrians.  It was so amazing to see people's expressions and gratitude to our positive quotes.  One woman even started yelling to us as she passed that we were beautiful too.  Saint Therese of Liseux said, "The only way I can prove my love is by.. every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions of love."  Every good dead, no matter how small, makes in impact.  These notes, we hope, helped at least one person get through their day a little easier.

live the life you deserve.



Last week, my friend (first picture) decided to put post it notes with inspirational quotes all around her mirror so that she'd wake up and go to sleep seeing them and they'd help her start and end her day positively and happily.  I decided to do the same (second pic) and I'm so happy I did.  It's a simple way to stay inspired and remember the important things in life.  I challenge you all to think of ways to stay inspired and positive during the hard or stressful times in your life.  Life's too short to focus on the negative aspects of life, and sometimes we all just need little pick-me-ups to remember that.
