NMA- blog 6

Wow, i just spent over an hour checking out the postsecret blog before writing this, I LOVE it. I was laughing out loud at some of them. All of the postcards are creative and many have hidden meanings and are quite deep. The variety of post cards range from light hearted jokes to meaningful, touching secrets. Some have political meanings and others state the most random things

A twist to this blog was that at first i just thought it was a cool site with only post card creations that  people posted, but then I realized how deep and meaningful and advanced Postsecret is. There was a “PostSecret Live” which is a multi-media presentation by Frank Warren, founder of PostSecret. You can see the postcards that were banned from the books and hear the stories behind the secret.
Postsecret can actually act to positively help and inspire individuals. There are different chats with secrets categorized in topics such as, secrets of addiction and recovery, mental health, spirituality, LGBTQ and many more. You can click into a blog and post a question and others interested or in the same position give you feedback and advice on how to handle a situation.  

There are video blogs showing people sharing their secrets. They also show Frank giving seminars and helping voice their secrets so they can open up.
