Post Secret

Frank warren from postsecret.blogspot.com was at the University of Iowa Tuesday night. Scott and I went and really enjoyed it. If you don't know what postsecret is visit the above web address. Sorry its not linked, I can only do so much from my phone.
Any way, people send in their secrets on postcards, to heal and share. They can be about a fear, an event that happened in the past, or even something funny. They cross the whole spectrum. The blog is updated every Sunday. So check back weekly!

Frank shared how this started as an art project, and kind of took off from there. When people kept sending in their secrets from across the USA and other countries.

I like to read them, its a thrilling,almost dirty satisfaction of knowing strangers inmost thoughts. I've related to some, and have been completely appaled (sp?) By others.

Anyway Frank challenged us on our way out to share a secret with the person we came with. Something we've never told anybody about before. Scott knew the one I've talked about sending in. I won't share it though. Sorry. Maybe when you check the his blog you'll find it.

Scott shared one with me that was very touching. Its something he's never told anyone and it made me feel so much closer to him. I honestly didn't know how to react to it, and I hope he wasn't disappointed by my momentery silence and lack of words following.

So to you out there that read this, share with your spouse, boyfriend/ girlfriend, or best friend your secret, or mail it to Frank.

It'll change you. It'll help you grow.


Complete side note: It really bothers me when I read other's blogs and find spelling and grammatical errors. So I apologize if you find them on mine. I try my best, but my blackberry keyboard is little, and I usually blog in bed right before I go to sleep.

Also Hey La Shay! Thanks for visiting my blog, and I hope you enjoy the update!
