in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard."

Frank Warren started a project years ago where he made fliers asking people to send in personal secrets on a postcard to a P.O. Box. He put these fliers in library books, coffee shops, bulletin boards, and so on. He was surprised at how many responses he had received. He started a project by collecting these postcards and posting them online. Eventually, he turned the postcards into a series of book. Now Postsecret is partnered with 1-800-Suicide, a suicide prevention hotline, because many of the readers claimed that reading these secrets helped them re-think the value of their lives and prevented them from killing themselves.
Each week, I plan to take one of the secrets from the website and write about how it can help people in society overcome their troubles.
