Something good!

HI Everyone,
During my recuperation, boredom does set in at times but I'm definitely getting better and keeping myself busy while still getting the rest I'm told I need to get. I certainly do not want to compromise my recovery because I want to get back to seeing all of YOU and teaching soon!
Anyway, today I was watching the Today Show (I've watched it since I was a kid) and there was a segment that I thought was really neat. (Do people say 'really neat' anymore?)
It was about Operation Beautiful. You can find their website at www.operationbeautiful.com. This woman decided that woman get too many negative messages in the world (sound familiar? I think I say this every class I teach...) and she just decided to start leaving post-it notes, say, on public bathroom mirrors, or in other places women congregate, saying things like:
"You're beautiful"
"Not a size 2? Who cares, you're awesome!"
Any uplifting message basically...
I think this is the best idea I've ever heard. (She also wrote a book of the same name if you need some reading material this summer.) I mean...I know how I'd feel if I visited a public restroom and found a post-it on the mirror (or back of the stall door) with an uplifting message...it would make my day.
It's such a simple idea, yet can have so much impact.
Honestly, that's why we have our instructors at the desk as you arrive and our staff greets you and asks how you are, etc? We CARE about you and we want you to feel special every single time you come into our Center. It comes from when WE were clients and we would go to certain Centers and no one would say HI or talk to us or anything...we decided we wanted our clients to feel special, cared for...right from the moment you come in. It's like we stick a post-it on the door saying, "HI! How was your day...so glad you're here!"
And we hope you feel that from us!
Anyway, here's a challenge for you all...
Take a post-it note with you and put some short, uplifting message on it-then leave it somewhere...how about on the drive-thru speaker at DD? Or stick it to an apple at the grocery store? Or on the window of a car as you pass it on your way into the mall?
I think in these times of economic hardship and stress, performing a small act of kindness and enhancing the life of someone else can help us ALL feel better!
Have a great day!
