It was a year or two ago I was introduced to this website called PostSecret. It�started as an art project that turned into a website where people anonymously create postcards with their secrets and send them in. Here's a video straight from Frank, the man who created it all:

�
Every Sunday, I go online and check the new secrets. The owner of the site has published three books.� And on the website and in the books, I can find myself in many of the secrets. Its this weird connection you feel with strangers, in their most honest moments...moments that you reveal a bit of you to yourself.

The website aligned itself with the Kristen Brooks Foundation, which runs 1-800-Suicide hotline, here in the United States, and is one of my favorite nonprofits. In this video, it talks about how people have been helped by both the Foundation and PostSecret, as well as the problems the foundation has had with the gvmt in the past. I hope you will take a moment.


And, here is a postcard from the past. One that wholly resonates for me...and have dozens saved on my computer. This one touched my heart:

Here's to the shared secrets in us all.
