Show Me Your Pics!
A fellow reader or ours just emailed me with this Happy Dance-inducing snapshot:
Oh, photo/photographer, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
1) You whipped out a camera in the middle of your locker room. Major fudgy brownie points.
2) You saw and instantly recognized the crazysassybeautiful body-positiveness of the message taped to your fellow gym-goer's locker door.
3) You told me that, upon spotting this pic, "the first person I thought of was you" and sent me the pic (*girlcrushswoon*)
4) You somehow scaled the pic to the perfect size so that I, a total Computer Illiterate who wouldn't know it if a memory card or hard drive smacked me in the face, didn't have to bribe, beg, or sleep with anyone to alter the dimensions.
5) You wrote, "I didn't know if the sign was a self-motivator or a friend sending positive vibes, but I have to say I wish someone put that on my locker! Maybe all lockers should have little affirmations like these on them."
Agreed, Snappy! We should all have such an upbeat, perky message waiting for us after returning from a sweat session. Much better than a hulking metal scale.
Let's start a project! I challenge you to start sending me pics of items/signs/images you spot throughout the day that remind you to love yourself. If could be a sign like the one above; it could be a You Are Beautiful sticker; maybe it's a certain inspiring ad on a bus or a little girl frolicking in the sun. Maybe you'll get all abstract and spot, Idunno, a furry little Labradoodle curiously sniffing an overflowing dish of kibble and think, "Wow, I really could learn a lot about eating only when hungry from my dog!"
Go forth and snap.

That's very thoughtful! Maybe I should put signs up around the house for myself or get my husband to put one on my closet door for those instances when I start crying about how I don't have any clothes that don't fit me anymore.
That's cool...I hope it was positive reinforcement from another gym-goer. How much would that make your day?
That's such a sweet sign! I will have to pay extra close attention to see if I can spot those kinds of messages today:)
That is the coolest thing! I also hope it was a fellow gym-goer.
I don't have a photo yet, but my daughter LOVES tummies! She likes to run her fingers over mommy and daddy's belly buttons, and she ADORES her little toddler tummy! She'll lift up her shirt, rub her tummy, and giggle. It's so cute!
What a nice gesture. It could easily transfer to other venues, including my chosen ego-crusher ... canine agility. We could sneak into our friends' tents or crating areas and leave nice notes.
I absolutely love it. I love the "You Are Beautiful" stickers but this is so cool...it's so specific and has such attitude!
