A film for Pina

Looking forward to seeing this film! Inspiring!

Still time to donate!

Kristin Tieche, director of Forms of Identification, will bring the film to international audiences next week at the Marbella International Film Festival in the south of Spain.

As you know, we have always been a small, grassroots effort, committed to a bigger cause - increasing awareness about Lyme Disease, chronic illness and identity crisis due to loss. We feel that the film has an emotional impact on the small audiences we've shared it with so far. Now there's a chance to make an even bigger impact.

You can help us get there by making a donation, large or small, to our fund on Empowered.org. We have fiscal sponsorship through Empowerment Works, so your donation is tax-deductible.

Thank you so much to all of you who have already donated. Your contributions help us immensely, and we are deeply grateful.

YOU stepped out of a super nova

what should I do?

Not your typical FOI post, but listen, EVERYONE asks himself or herself this question. Even and especially top pro-athletes always in the headlines, always under scrutiny of the public eye, judged by fans, critics, peers, family and friends. This video shows who LeBron might be, his public persona, his past and asks the question - what should I do? should I be who you want me to be?
