Remember this Operation Beautiful note I stuck on my back before my half marathon??
My note read: YOU ARE SO MUCH STRONGER THAN YOU THINK!
Well, look at the email I received this week from a man who also ran in this race:
Paul wrote, "I was googling to see if I could find pics of the race and came across your blog. Congrats on your race, despite your struggles. The reason for my post is that I just wanted to say thanks for the distraction near the finish. I approached you from behind, trying to read your shirt as I was struggling around the 18-19 km mark on University Ave. As I got closer, gasping for breath and trying to focus, I made out the message on your back…and I powered through the finish. As I ran alongside you, I wanted to acknowledge and thank you for your message, but figured you were probably focused on your own battles at the time. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you, and I’m glad I found a way to do so!"
I was pretty pumped to receive this email. It was such a cool feeling running my half marathon and knowing that this note was possibly inspiring others to keep going.

Behold my newest Operation Beautiful note:
It reads, ‘You look sexy in your hair net! Ow! Ow!’
To say I feel unattractive in my baking get-up is an understatement!
I basically have been feeling like my old lunch lady! I decided that there is no reason why I had to feel unattractive- it was all a state of mind. I decided to change my attitude and write a note that would pick me up.
Every time I see the note I look in the mirror and smile. Case closed. Hair nets are the latest fashion accessory, didn’t ya know?
I also am eyeing these super cute aprons. I like this pink one (of course). I wonder if I can convince my MIL to sew me one…

Do you wear a uniform at your job? Do you like it?
Have you ever had to wear a uniform that you hated?
Luckily, all of my previous jobs were in retail or office environments so I was able to wear normal work clothes. My very first job was at a Produce store when I was just 13. I was even a health nut back then! I got free fruit and veggies too…it was amazing. I had to wear an apron and work boots and I literally hauled 50 pound bags of corn and produce off frigid trucks, in addition to being a cashier, ice cream scooper, and stocker. Oddly enough, I am now 26 and still find myself hauling 50 pound bags of oats and hemp seed. That makes me laugh.

Off to bake!
When someone we love is having difficulty and is giving us a bad time, it’s better to explore the cause than to criticize the action.
