Goodie Bag# 73 - view in your web browser
We love you! Have we mentioned lately how much we love you, dear readers? We simply adore you! (And welcome, all you new Goodie Bag subscribers!) That’s why we’ve gathered such a massive collection of resources just for young women with chronic illness. We’ve got hundreds of tips in our Help Desk, a few hundred more articles on, well, everything…and a bazillion other tidbits just for you. So dive in! New today at ChronicBabe.com: How to find joy! OK, not so new, but we thought it was a timely message. With all the bad news flying around it can be tough to put on a happy face. Here’s a reminder that joy really can be found, sometimes right under your nose. Editrix Jenni offers an attitude adjustment and some things you can do TODAY to bring more joy to your life. What's on our plate? We’re thrilled to say ChronicBabe was just named one of Chicago’s Best Blogs by the Chicago Tribune. And we were a finalist in the Shorty Awards, which held its ceremony the other night. We’re blushing! It’s great to be in such good company. Thanks for nominating us, Babes—without you, we’d be just a teeny little blog…with you, we feel like total rock stars!
Did you know? We luv the new Threadless "Select Series" featuring/benefiting the Patrick O'Brien Foundation; founder Patrick needs cash to finish his film about life with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Buy an awesome t-shirt (there are four designers, this is Editrix Jenni's favorite) and help him out, OK? What we're up to lately... Editrix Jenni fall down go boom. She’s “gravitationally challenged” according to the E.R. doc who treated her sprained left wrist last week. For those keeping score, that’s TWO wrist injuries this winter for a Babe who makes her living using a keyboard and both hands. Thanks for your patience as she gets back up to speed! In other news, we’re planning a weight loss challenge—want to join us? Fill us in, and we’ll let you know when the challenge begins. Do a friend a favor—forward this newsletter! Goodie Bags are handed out every other Tuesday. Interested in advertising in the Goodie Bag? Want to submit an idea? Contact the Editrix.
