Day 125 - Encouraging Words on Bathroom Mirrors

The idea for today's random act came from a friend in my women's bible study group.  She is a middle school teacher and told us that someone would anonymously leave post-it notes on the girls' bathroom mirrors in the school.  We all know how hard the pre-teen and teenage years can be, especially on young women.  The media's definition of beauty and success can be extremely distorted and we can all fall victim to those images and expectations.

These little notes would remind the girls how beautiful they are and that they are loved and special.  My friend said that not only would they positively influence the young girls but also female teachers and staff as well.

So we decided to do something similar in every business we visited today.  The girls helped me write encouraging notes and we placed them in the bathrooms of a family-owned Mexican restaurant, the local Goodwill, and 2 gas stations.  We also placed them on the side mirror of cars in the parking lots.

We hope these can remind a few women (and men) that we are all uniquely made and all have people who love and care for us.  We all have individual gifts and talents that can make a difference in this world and we can't let those gifts go unused.  If you are reading this, know this...YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!
