Thank you for being amazing readers, commenters, and blog writers. And I love that I can share my thoughts, recipes, foods, exercises, rants, and words with you. And I greatly enjoy reading your blog, too. If you are not on this list, you should be (I tried to get a lot of peeps!), because you embrace and embody each and every quality listed above.
You inspire me because you are you.
What will you do to celebrate Operation Beautiful today?

Lori this is fabulous! You seriously made my day! We are all beautiful because we are unique! Operation Beautiful is a wonderful idea. I want to start complimenting more women in my life more often and in more specific ways, like the qualities you listed, rather than just “you look cute today” or “I like your hair”.
