Operation Beautiful

This is a butterfly that Gwen drew at church last Sunday.  I have it on my fridge along with her "bucket list" and I think this butterfly is the prettiest thing ever.  I'm not sure why I'm growing so attached to it.  I think I might frame it.  The amazing thing to me is that it ACTUALLY looks like a butterfly to me and the detail she added to the background.  Amazing!


Speaking of amazing... I read about Operation Beautiful in the paper and it inspired me.  Basically, this girl was having a rotten day and she went to the bathroom and thought she'd turn her mood around by putting on the bathroom mirror a post it note that said "you are beautiful."  It has started a movement and a blog about all the notes people find.  See it here.  I have since been putting them in any restroom I go to with different messages.  It's fun, it's sneeky, and it's encouraging.  All of those things appeal to me.
