I love this. Last year after reading a blog here about doing something similar, I made ten little notes that I placed in various spots at my son's high school. In the girls' bathroom, on a drinking fountain, a chair. . . little notes that said things like "you matter" or "you are perfect just the way you are." My son got into a little trouble, and I was at school for a meeting, and imagine my surprise when he walked over to a vending machine with me and he pulled out a note I'd left. It said "don't judge yourself through others' eyes." The most apropos note just for him. (he had no idea I'd left notes around school and it was complete synchronicity that he happened to come upon it.)

There's power in this kind of sharing.
Bless you, Hannah.
