operation beautiful

A couple of months ago I was strolling through Barnes and Noble (after a lousy day of work) when a lady came over to me and said, 

"I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I watched you walk in and we were just discussing how nice you looked.  I just thought you would want to know, women don't compliment each other enough."

I was a little stunned by her comment, by it completely changed my attitude that day.

I love the idea of this website "operation beautiful" where women write little inspirational notes and leave them in public places such as the gym or work.  Just like the bookstore compliment, I'm sure finding one of these little positive messages would totally make my day.

infectious dance

who knew that the slightly spastic dancer on the hill would inspire such a beautiful scene?  proof that living in the moment can create the most memorable experiences. 

let the music move you!

fear no more

for a lot of my life, I have let fear control many of my decisions.  Recently, I've been trying to play it a little less safe.  I love the message of this photo.
