You know, the OR is the one place where I can come and think. I'm thinking right now, okay?

This is what I'm thinking: PostSecret is an incredible project. I went to Frank Warren's presentation last night at UNC Charlotte and I feel that I will grow a lot from this experience. Unfortunately right now, I'm mostly feeling introspective in a bit of a dark way.

For those of you who don't know about PostSecret, my explanation will not do it justice, visit Postsecret for Sunday's Secrets and more info on the project.

I realize that I have some secrets, some that I've shared so that they wouldn't swallow me whole. I'm finding that even though I shared these to escape the drowning feeling, I'm on a different side of them now, and the water's still rising. My goal this week is to compose a postcard (or two) and send it off to Maryland. Some of the secrets shared at the event last night were incredible and those that were able to speak up for themselves spoke for me on some level.

All of that feels a bit morose, but I feel pretty good about it. I'm hopeful.
