Post Secret fans check in!!!
I love that website!

For those who haven't been there, basically it's a place where you can mail anonymous postcards reveiling secrets that no one knows about but you want to get off your chest.


There are some totally screwed up stuff on that site but it's a great place to go! Every Sunday they put up new postcards.

This is my favorite from this week's batch:


here's the link to the website:

1. I can't wait for the new ones every Sunday
I saw the exhibit a few years ago at Artomatic, bummed that I missed the most recent one though.

So Lynne, have you sent a secret in yet?

5. I'm with you on this one!
It's a fun site, and I think, somewhat cathartic as well.And the money raised from the published book goes to a good cause I believe.

6. That site makes me lose hope for humanity.
I don't know why, but I get depressed every time I see stuff from there, even though some of it IS funny.

7. I mailed in a secret.
And most of what you read about others' reactions, it's true. It was very liberating to see it posted online. And, yes, I did cry when I saw it. It also was incredibly cleansing and for the first time I felt like I could work through all the poison and blight that my secret had caused for nearly 30 years. I'll always be proud of the step I took by mailing that card.

8. I didn't realise that they updated the website
so regularly! I will go and check it out right now. I just have the book, which I love and adore. It's melancholy, hopeless, hilarious, and just brilliant.

Thanks for the tip on the site!
