Entertain Me

PhotobucketAs I sat at the last session of the conference, tears began to fall. The facilitators, three college students spoke about a website called www.postsecrets.com.

I am strangely inspired by the ending of this one “Everyone single person has at least one secret that would break your heart…”

I am so amazed at the things people were willing to share and believe there is hope in our secrets. We all want to be heard. We all want to share all of ourselves with someone but we are so afraid to be vulnerable, to be judged, even by those we know love us. I am sure if we all thought about it, we would all have a secret to share in anonymity. What is your secret?
