hey guys-the last few days have been very difficult as you all know. (well, at least you know if you read my last blog.) this morning i fell, and i think i sprained something. anyway, so i was feeling bad because my foot hurts and i have been fighting a horrible headache all day. untill i found a post from someone on dailystrength. the post was simply a link to www.operationbeautiful.com under the title "my new hobby".

i went there, and started crying tears of joy. what i found was something that could have only been orchestrated by god. this young woman named caitlin decided that she wanted to make other ladies feel beautiful. so she started anonymously leaving notes for other women to find in public places. what started as one woman's mission to remnd girls of their inner worth has apparently exploded into an "operation beautiful" movement.

i sent the following e-mail to caitlin:

dear caitlin,
my name is fallon. i am 21. i have cerebral palsy and i struggle daily with an undiagnosed eating disorder. (i believe it is binge eating disorder, but i'm not sure.) someone in the eating disorders support group @ www.dailystrength.org posted your website under the title "my new hobby". i clicked, and then i cried. i wanted to say thank you because i have been letting my ED get the best of me lately. last night, i tried to make myself throw up for the first time. thank god it didn't work. i binge ate afterward.

your website reminds me that jesus loves me and thinks i am beautiful. thank you for inspiring me to become involved. i think i'll start putting notes up. what an incredible way to spread god's love in the world. i frequently blog to close friends about my struggles with my illness. i think operation beautiful will be my next blog. i want to tell everyone i know. thank you SO MUCH! may god richly bless you and your ministry of making women aware of their real beauty.

the following is a poem i wrote last year called "princess"

I am a princess
A beautiful, prized jewel in the Eyes of my Father-
The King

My Father loves without limit
Without measurement
Without doubt

He will love me
Untill the end of time and back again
Throughout everything I have ever done
Or ever will do
He loves me not because I have earned it
But simply because I am His

I am a princess
A precious little lady
Who is meant for greatness

I can come to my Father
Anytime of day or night
No matter the thoughtsr
Weighing on my mind

I am a princess
Who has been given gifts
Meant just for me
No one else in the world has the exact gifts I do
My Father loves me that much
I am that precious

I am a princess
I am part of the largest kingdom the world has ever seen
My Father told me and my brothers and sisters
To tell you about Him
His name is Jesus

I am a princess
A beautiful, prized jewel in the eyes of my Father-
The King
And you can be His princess too
