POWER, PASSION, and PURPOSE at www.gainingthetruth.com

26-Sep-2007

Dear friends,

I'm creating a new page on my website at www.gainingthetruth.com and I'd like your help.

This page is dedicated to the idea that true recovery can be defined as
REstoration + disCOVERY.

True recovery -- FULL recovery -- unleashes the power, passion, and purpose that disorder suppresses. This page honors those who have achieved full recovery and are turning their power, passion, and purpose to creative enterprises that help others.

I have heard from so many artists, musicians, and community activists who have histories of eating disorders and whose current work embodies this idea of "power, passion, and purpose." I want to post links to their websites on this page. But I don't want to do this without permission, and I do want to make sure I post current links. So...

If you have a web address you would like to see listed here, please send the link with a brief bio and description of your work or project to
gainingcontest@gmail.com

(It's not really a contest, but this edress will help me keep track of mail that contains these links.)

I look forward to hearing from you!

Aimee Liu
