Goodie Bags: Free stuff for you!
Remember what parties were like when we were kids? We would hang out with our girlfriends, gossip, play games, braid each other's hair—and when we left the party, we got to take home a goodie bag full of little treasures. Welcome to your own personal Goodie Bag, the newsletter of ChronicBabe.com. Every two weeks we'll bring you the scoop: news, resources, ideas—all kinds of goodies for the young, hip, and chronic.

A note from Editrix Jenni - Flare-ups: We're not always perfect (1/19/2010)
Every once in a while, even Editrix Jenni has a flare-up big enough to sideline her. In this personal letter, she talks about how she deals with flare-ups and asks for advice.
Goodie Bag #93 - 20 Tools for a fresh start! (1/5/2010)
Happy new year, Babes! We’re so grateful for everything we have, and for you as part of our awesome community. This year we have lots of big plans: more Podcasts, big growth at the Forum, new videos, more cute ChronicBabe merchandise to show your pride, and even a ChronicBabe event where you can meet Editrix Jenni, other Babes and hear terrific speakers. Hurrah!
A holiday wish for you from Editrix Jenni (12/22/2009)
This week, instead of our usual Goodie Bag, let’s focus on a simple holiday wish: I wish for each and every one of you a measure of grace, peace, and gratitude. Even if you’re not feeling well or things aren’t going your way every moment, please take time each day to be thankful for what you DO have. We have some measure of control over how we handle our health, how we handle ourselves in the face of adversity. We have the warmth of a strong and supportive community. And we have the opportunity to make a fresh start in the new year. We’ll be chatting about this over at the forum throughout the end of the year, so please hop on over and weigh in: What are you grateful for this holiday season? Your stories and wishes will help spread cheer and hope, and I think you’ll be inspired to read what others have to offer.

Goodie Bag #91: Getting help during the holidays (11/24/2009)
With the holidays around the corner, everyone's shopping for gifts-for their friends, family, and themselves. You can help ChronicBabe by shopping our Amazon links each and every time you make a purchase. Plus we've got resources for evaluating charities for donations, strategies for managing your energy during the holidays and much more.
Goodie Bag #90 - A ton of love and compassion for you (11/10/2009)
When we're sick all the time, it's easy to fall into the trap of being angry. Angry at the world, at our doctors, our spouses or friends, the bus driver…anyone who doesn't understand. But if we open our hearts we can make connections that nourish us and help us feel better. Sharon Salzberg has a terrific short meditation to help open your heart. Plus we've got links to tons of other fun stuff!
Greetings from my couch! A personal note from Editrix Jenni (10/27/2009)
After a couple weeks of travel and hard work promoting the ChronicBabe message, Editrix Jenni was too pooped to write a big 'ol Goodie Bag. So this personal letter has to suffice...including links to educational fibromyalgia videos, an op-ed she wrote about healthcare reform and more.
Goodie Bag #89 - Here's a song (or 21) to help you sleep (10/13/2009)
Insomnia is taking over at ChronicBabe HQ, so Editrix Jenni came up with a "sleep" playlist to inspire some ZZZs. We also have info on good sleep hygiene, gorgeous inspirational jewelry, a blog that helps patients navigate the health care system and much more. Enjoy!

With so many overlapping projects during the past couple months, we here at ChronicBabe HQ are feeling majorly overloaded. We’re over-committed…and today, we’re working on catching up and reorganizing to get it all done. And of course, we’re hunting for strategies to keep our heads above water. We’ve got lots of ideas for you today...plus links to fun shopping suggestions and news about new projects coming up. Yay!
Goodie Bag #87: Have some fun! (And hear Editrix Jenni speak tomorrow) (9/15/2009)
If you can’t remember, we have a problem, sister. Having fun is an essential part of being a ChronicBabe! It can seem hard to find fun when you feel crummy, but it’s true that laughter is the best medicine (well, ONE of the best), so seek out fun! Today we have a bunch of fantastic things to make you giggle, including websites, books, people and more. Enjoy!
