I'm a huge fan of Post Secret, an ongoing community arts effort that has become an international phenomenon. Frank Warren began this project by inviting his small Maryland community to write a personal secret on a postcard and mail it to him anonymously. It has become a major event for people in all walks of life.
The messages range from poignant & personal to disturbing and heart-wrenching. They are funny, sometimes absurd, and often very touching. Frank Warren has published several books of these postcards and conducts live seminars across the USA to sold-out crowds. The phenomenon has expanded to thousands of people placing their secrets in the folds of his books and returning them to the store shelves. Reading the secrets of others has given me cause for comfort, fear, concern, admiration, and a host of other reactions. I recommend it to everyone! He updates the site every Sunday with all fresh postcards. http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ My secret? I reprogram hotel remotes to surf only my preferred channels. ![]()

What a great idea for a book! The website was pretty cool, too. I loved the one about people being let into heaven based on the way they treated animals on earth!
So, Cin....should we all mail you a postcard with our secret on it and let you try to figure out who's who?? ![]() ![]()

Very cool site, yet depressing all at the same time.
My secret is I worry more about my friends and loved ones than they really know. It consumes me at times. All I have to do when that happens is remember that God controls everything and he has been good to me.
