Goodie Bag - A personal note: How to keep that good summer feeling (8/30/2011)
Summer isn't just a season we go through; it's symbolic, a time of relaxation and fun, a time of brightness and growth. I believe you can keep summer going in your body, your spirit, year-round. Seek out ways to find fun, to relax, to appreciate nature, to try new things, to unplug...and it will always be summer for you. Editrix Jenni offers a few tips for an endless summer.

Goodie Bag: Personal note: Share your story, change a life (8/2/2011)
Long-time readers of the ChronicBabe website and newsletter know Editrix Jenni is not shy about telling her story. She believes in the power of stories, to educate, influence, and change people's lives.

Goodie Bag #113 - Fighting insensitivity about chronic illness (7/19/2011)
Editrix Jenni recently encountered a total jerkface who mocked her when she tried to teach a shopkeeper about handling gluten-free baked goods properly. Lame!

As usual: it's a true Goodie Bag, full of tons of fun! Dive in!

Goodie Bag: I Know You've Got My Back (6/7/2011)
For the past two weeks, Editrix Jenni has been "real people sick," a phrase coined by her pal Kerri Sparkling of Six Until Me, with a super-bad head and chest bug that she just can't kick. Without the energy to craft a kick-ass Goodie Bag, she decided instead to write a letter to ChronicBabes everywhere with the message she wished she could hear clearly herself: Take a break. Ask for help. Rest. Don't be afraid to admit you can't do it all. Sometimes it's hard to do all these things. Read on for her very personal note. We know you'll be able to relate.

Goodie Bag #111 - Awareness & Happiness (5/10/2011)
Here at ChronicBabe HQ, we believe it's all about awareness. Being aware of your own self and who you are in spite of illness. And sharing your story so others are aware of your experience, not in a "woe is me" kind of way, but in a "I've accepted this and I live an awesome life in spite of it" kind of way. That brings us happiness! What a great way to live as ChronicBabes, no? This issue of our newsletter has tools to help you do all that, plus some fun distractions and advice and cute animals and shopping tips and...well, you know, it's a Goodie Bag! Fun!
