Favorite Movies

  • Il Postino
    Beautiful film shot on an island off the coast of Italy, great story, touching but not sappy, and gently funny.

     
  • The Matrix
    Is this too predictable? So I like Keanu Reeves in black leather and sunglasses. Oh, and the metaphysical, existential story and special effects work for me, too.

Sherean's Favorite Charities

Project Safe Place

This organization started in Louisville (my hometown) and now has chapters all over the country. It provides safe harbor and transportation to shelters for teenage runaways. Most shelters do not have names that are easy to look up (you can't just look up "teenage shelter" in the phone book, although these days you could Google it) so teens end up on the street with no idea where to go.

This organization taps businesses and puts big "safe place" signs in their windows. The employees are trained to call the shelter; the shelter dispatches trained volunteers (like me) to pick up the runaway and either take them back home, if they like, or to the local shelter. And the shelters work with the entire family to fix the dysfunction, if possible. Way back in the late 80's, I worked on their logo, initial branding, and marketing materials. I've watched them grow from a local idea to an important, national charity.

Kiva.org 

Kiva is a micro-financing organization. For $25 dollars you can help a small business owner in a developing country, search through their profiles, read their business plans, and see their payment history. 

I love supporting other entrepeneurs. These people are working hard to support their families and pull themselves out of poverty. Amazing stories.
