Editrix Jenni Prokopy is a featured speaker on Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 2pm Central time (call-in details to come)...we've donated t-shirts to be given away as prizes...and we'll be blogging about what it's like to live with invisible illness all week.

Big flare-up = big need for self-care tips
Oh Babes, Editrix Jenni's flare-up...it is so big. It's been ebbing and flowing for a couple weeks now and it's draining her energy. But she's committed to maintaining her self care regimen during this tough time, and thought she'd take a moment to remind you, too, that it's important to take small steps every day to keep yourself feeling as well as possible (or, AWAP).
Here are some of her favorite ChronicBabe resources on self-care from our past three years of resources. She refers to these when she's not feeling so hot; you may want to bookmark them, too.

Congratulations to Michelle Traub, our 3rd birthday essay contest winner!
Wow, what a wonderful contest this was! It filled my heart with joy to read all of your wonderful essays (nearly 50 in all) and it was really tough to pick the winners. And truly—you're all winners, because you care enough about yourselves to learn new ways to live full lives in spite of chronic illness. (And because everyone who entered wins some nifty ChronicBabe buttons to wear and share!) The top prize went to Michelle Traub, who wrote a terrific essay that brought tears to my eyes (plus, she got extra points for creativity). Read on for her essay and all the other winners...
