Positively…A Thousand Word Thursday
filed in Raising College Kids, Raising Teenagers on Mar.04, 2010
This meme requires posting a picture that is powerful, that expresses emotion, and speaks volumes to me.
.
So, most of you know my oldest daughter is in college. She sent me a text this morning with this photo. Their RA had covered all the mirrors in the bathroom with newspaper and on the paper stuck post-it’s everywhere with positive sayings about body image on each piece of brightly colored paper.
Now how cool is that? It made an impact on my daughter and me as well. I think it’s wonderful for women to support women. What a beautiful idea!
Some of the slogans:

What a cool idea! All the RA at my dorm ever did was complain about our loud music and cigarette smoke. Good times.

I love that! I should plant a few of those around the house, I’m sure we could all use some positive affirmations, especially as women with body image issues.

It’s great to find your blog. I have a son in college, too. He’s got a great RA. It makes a big difference for his floor at the dorm.

What a fantastic RA! In my past life, I was Residence Hall Director — I absolutely loved when my RAs would do things like this for our girls.
