It's time for some big change at ChronicBabe HQ
I had a major revelation today, poolside, sun on my back, my headphones playing a favorite tune: I have lived much of my life according to someone else's rules. And I'm sick to death of living like that. But I'm making a pledge to myself right now, and you're my witness: I'm making a big change.

About what Dr. Rob said: "A letter to Patients with Chronic Illness"
Doctor Rob wrote such a fantastic article today we asked if we could reprint it. Here's a hint:
"Dear Patients: You have it very hard, much harder than most people understand. Having sat for 16 years listening to the stories, seeing the tiredness in your eyes, hearing you try to describe the indescribable, I have come to understand that I too can’t understand what your lives are like.
"But I do bring something to the table that you may not know. I do have information that you can’t really understand because of your unique perspective, your battered world. There is something that you need to understand that, while it won’t undo your pain, make your fatigue go away, or lift your emotions, it will help you."
...curious? read on!

Who's on your team? Meet Team Jenni!
I can't even come close to listing my entire team. It would take me days. But I hope my very incomplete list helps you imagine who could be on your team. Because here's the deal: Life's better with a team. You learn more, you have more fun, you get to share more incredible moments, you get more gifts, you learn to give more and be a better friend...the benefits are innumerable. I encourage you to make a list and keep adding to it, changing it, remembering to recognize the people on it whenever possible, and always give as good as you get!
