Big Secrets

I was introduced to a blog yesterday that I wanted desperately to share with you all. At first glance it was just another blog, by another faceless person in the great vast we call the world wide web. I read one daily that is for humor purposes and of course the ones that are written by my friends and family, but this one is so different. It is compelling, heart wrenching, saddening...and hopeful. It is called PostSecret at www.postsecret.blogspot.com. This blog is actually an art project that was started by a man named Frank, to help raise money for a Hope Foundation. This foundation is aimed towards helping those who feel suicide and abuse are their only options. People from all over the world mail in their deepest, darkets secret on the back of a postcard and they do it completely anonymously. Some of the secrets will rock you, and some will make you think you have a kindred spirit in the far reaches of internet life. Read these and imagine the courage it must have taken to share such feelings. I am so thankful that the life I have been given has been filled with enough happy moments to mask the bad ones, but enough hard ones to keep me real. I pray that each of you finds some kind of peace or hope from reading these secrets...maybe you have one of your own to share.
God Bless,
