Are you familiar with [Link Removed]
PostSecret is a movement started and compiled by Frank Warren. In 2004 he printed 3000 postcards and handed them out to random strangers at bus stations, left them in the pages of library books and anywhere else he thought someone might find them.
The postcards invited people to share a secret they have been carrying with them; encouraged them to get it out of their systems and to move on with their lives.
The response was overwhelming. People of all ages and all walks of life have a secret they’ve never told anyone. In response to Mr. Warren’s invitation, they submitted their postcards, many of them altered with art and words representative of their secrets.
Today PostSecret is known all over the world. The shared secrets (some funny, some poignant, some painful enough to hurt your heart!) have all been compiled into (currently) 4 books, as well as the website still serving the movement.
I highly recommend this for ANY book lover, anyone who appreciates humanity, or anyone burdened with their own secret and wishing for a form of release.
Hi feathermaye,
This sounds fascinating. What a great idea! I’m going to read it - thanks. Love your website, too.
Namaste,
Suzann
Suzann, I’m glad you‘re intrigued! I was so touched by the fact that my stepdaughter thought of me when she discovered it that I actually became emotional!
Then, as I read through the devastating and heartfelt and sometimes funny secrets that people carry with them (and saw a bit of myself in so many of them!), I was moved to share it, too.
Thanks for visiting my site! :)
I think i just found Christmas presents for several people on my list! Thank you, Heather! :c)
You bet!! I think so many different types of people will love these books... and there are currently 4 in the series, so it’s a gift that you (or other friends and family members) can continue to add to with each gifting-occasion.
