This is your reminder: Relax. It's summer, and you should be chillin' out, at least a little. This issue of the Goodie Bag is deliberately short. Why? Because Editrix Jenni needs a break. A little downtime. So she's taking it. What does that mean for you? A short little newsletter this week.

Goodie Bag: Letter from the Editrix - Are you living in passive voice? (7/6/2010)
“You can’t live your whole life in passive voice,” my pal Amanda said recently. We were talking about how complicated life gets and how easy it can be to blame outside forces for all the negativity we experience. There are some people who walk through this life feeling like victims, getting overwhelmed and frustrated by bad circumstances—and letting those situations get the best of them.Those people are living in passive voice. And they're playing the victim. Are you doing the same thing? Here are some thoughts on how to change your ways for the better.

Goodie Bag #99 - Learn to trust your gut! (5/25/2010)
It's an important lesson: trust your gut, and you'll feel better. But trusting your gut isn't the easiest!

Letter from the Editrix: You are BRAVE! (5/11/2010)
We ChronicBabes go through so much, and most of it goes unacknowledged. We manage much more than your average Babe day to day, and yet we still accomplish awesome life achievements. Why? Partly because we're BRAVE! So courageous in the face of obstacles. This week, Editrix Jenni writes a personal letter about bravery and how much her fellow ChronicBabes inspire her.
Goodie Bag #98 - Act as your own curator (4/27/2010)
At museums and art galleries, curators are tasked with choosing only the best (or most interesting, or provocative, or innovative) works of art to show. You can be a curator too! As we move through our lives we’re presented with tons of options to consider. By curating—picking and choosing only the things you love—you can improve your physical and emotional environment, which has a direct impact on your health. What can you weed out today, and what can you choose to incorporate?
Special letter from the Editrix: Join the conversation! (4/13/2010)
So our message this week is simple: Raise your voice. Speak honestly to a friend about your experience. Express your needs in an honest way so you’re taken care of by those who love you. Share your personal experience with a fellow ChronicBabe who may be needing commiseration. Email us if you want to tell a personal story but don’t feel like you have an outlet (like Erica Stotler did last week with her piece about hula hooping). Tell a joke about being a sick chick. Write a letter to the editor. Get real with someone about your life.
