The Power of the Post-It

Those yellow sticky things which became the center of a class reunion “scandal” in the movie Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion.  The rainbow version that my kids wallpaper our house with cute little sayings written upon them.

Whoever took Post-Its to the gym is genius.  And made the day of countless women by sticking one to the mirror in the locker room, visible to all who applied their makeup and gave themselves a blow-out and even to those who simply passed through (the yellow color was a smart move).

On the note was written in beautifully plain penmanship:

You are beautiful.

You are loved.

You are enough.

Our children see us this way.  But sometimes we need to see the truth in these words at unexpected times, in unexpected places.  It made my day.  Pass it on and make someone’s else’s day, too.
