Sunday Secrets [26 Dec 2009|09:51pm] postsecret http://postsecret.blogspot.com/2009/12/sunday-secrets_26.html PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. -----Email Message----- I was at a Borders in Ohio this afternoon when I decided to read the newest PostSecret book. I discovered that a secret written on note paper had been tucked into the book. The secret said: I just read this with the woman I love. I hope she doesn't get away. I left the secret in the book, on the shelf on the off chance that she comes back and happens to find it. I hope she does. -----Email Message---- No More Resolutions. Just change. New Book Available Now From Bookstores & Online. 182 comments|post comment

HopeLine Thanks for your support and for helping those who may be struggling this time of year. I received the following message from Reese Butler, Founder of HopeLine, this morning. . . Frank - This was unbelievable. What a great effort and response. The comments are so profound and caring. Some made the donation and asked that the book be sent directly to someone else as a gift. Some who lost loved ones to suicide and thought this would be a healing gesture. It is truly heart warming and amazing to read each one. -Reese ----Email Message----- Thank you so much for your support, Frank. And sincere thanks to all of the volunteers at the Hope Center! -----Email Message----- Thank you for the good work you continue to perform. You have helped me personally and I am honored to give back. -----Email Message----- I am an avid postsecret fan - checking every Sunday with my fiance, even attended a live show in Peoria - and recently saw your response to a woman's message about her feelings of sadness and helplessness. I think your hopeline is such a great thing. I am happy that both you and Frank Warren have found your calling - happy for you, but mostly happy for those lives you impact, and, ultimately save. -----Email Message----- I just saw your message on PostSecret about responding to non crises. Is there any way that I could help with this by volunteering and taking calls? I'd absolutely love to help out! Thank you! -----Email Message----- Hopeline is one of the miracles out there. This week, you can receive one of the actual 6-foot by 4-foot billboards used in the making of the most popular All-American Rejects music video by your $2,000 donation to the Kristin Brooks Hope Center. 1(800)SUICIDE 160 comments|post comment
