Goodie Bag - A Personal Note from Editrix Jenni: Be Brave, My Friends! (3/29/2011)
Today I want to share with you a short, simple message: Be brave in the face of chronic illness. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by fear or sadness. It’s easy to get confused, or to feel swamped with questions about the unknown—or to be angry about having to live with something you didn’t plan for, or don’t want to face. These feelings can weigh you down, and can fester and turn into fear. Fear can hold you back. Fear can stop you in your tracks. Fear can keep you from being the truly awesome Babe you are meant to be. I know this because I’ve let fear stop me before. I can tell you this because I’ve been there myself—I’ve experienced times in my life when fear overwhelmed me and stopped me cold. But every day, I recommit myself to stand up against my fears and to live an incredible life in spite of chronic illness. And today is really one of those days—a day when I am truly standing tall and meeting my fear face-to-face, looking it square in the eye, saying hello to it, and then walking right on by. Fear is not going to stop me from being an awesome ChronicBabe, no matter how sick I am. I am going to rock this life!

Goodie Bag #109 - How will you share what you know? (3/15/2011)
Editrix Jenni is in Austin right now, at SXSWinteractive. She spoke the other day about Health Communities: Superheroes Who Need a Justice League and she believes that all of us should share what we know within our communities, especially if it helps others live better lives. Are you sharing what you know? We hope so! A great place to start is the ChronicBabe Forum —which is growing every day. See you there!

Goodie Bag - A Personal Note from Editrix Jenni: Priorities (3/1/2011)
Jenni is really ill, and she's re-learning how to prioritize. She writes about the challenges of that new venture, and asks for tips...which she'll be sharing in an upcoming feature on the site.

Goodie Bag #108: Love, Insurance, Budgeting and Sandwiches (2/15/2011)
February is so nutty. For many of us in the U.S., it’s a time of feeling cooped up and really wishing for some kind of release from the winter doldrums; it’s also the time of year when New Year’s resolutions start to fall apart (no! resist!) and we fall back into negative patterns. So we decided that today’s Goodie Bag should reflect how we’re all feeling: it’s a Mixed Bag, a big bowl of weird, wacky, and hopefully helpful ChronicBabe soup. Enjoy!

Goodie Bag: A personal note from Editrix Jenni: All about acceptance. (2/1/2011)
Acceptance. This is not a concept I did very well with the first couple years after I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. But all the anger and fear I held on to because I couldn’t accept my reality just made me feel worse. I hope you’ll take a moment to pause and consider your options right now. You have the option to continue freaking out. Or you have the option to stop. And accept. I don’t mean to give in, or give up. I just mean accept. Acceptance has been key to living a better life. I know it can be for you, too.

Goodie Bag #107 - Honesy is the best policy (1/18/2011)
There’s nothing like a true story. That’s what the web is for, right? I mean, shopping is awesome, and playing games is fun, and chatting with friends and meeting boys and looking at p r o n and watching videos of cats being cute are all awesome. But personally, we here at ChronicBabe HQ just love reading true stories. So this issue of the Goodie Bag is dedicated to honesty and authenticity—and the Babes who make it happen online, so we can learn from them and be inspired.

Goodie Bag: A personal note from Editrix Jenni: Sometimes illness just takes over. It's still gonna be the best year ever! (1/5/2011)
Editrix Jenni got really, really, REALLY sick and the Goodie Bag was a day late to be published for the first time ever. That's the way it goes sometimes when you're a ChronicBabe, chick-a-dees.

Goodie Bag: Special letter from The Editrix - The true spirit of the holiday season: Love. Love yourself! (12/21/2010)
It’s just a few days before Christmas, and like most folks, I’m scrambling here at ChronicBabe HQ to get everything done. The thing is, this time of year is stressful for everyone, no matter how much joy and laughter we find in the everyday wonders of the season. I could enumerate all the kinds of stress triggers, but they are too many to list here…and you know your own personal brand of stress anyway. The point is it’s a time when we MOST need to take good care of ourselves. Maybe I sound like a broken record—what I’m about to say is something I find myself suggesting a lot around the site and when I speak to audiences around the country—but this is exactly the time of year when we most need to slow down and take extra good care of ourselves. Here are just a couple reminders...
