Goodie Bag# 82 - view in your web browser
There is so much to experience! We ChronicBabes can get swallowed up by all the bad things we have to deal with day-to-day. But there are so many awesome things out there to experience! Take the opportunity this summer to try some new things and you just might find they help you feel better. Read a new author, check out that new restaurant down the street, listen to a new band…just try it! New today at ChronicBabe.com: Everything is new and waiting for you! Good friends of Editrix Jenni had a son two days ago. As she cradled little Ezra in her arms, all her concerns and pains faded away and her focus zeroed in on the little miracle she held. Sometimes, Babes, there is great power in distraction and newness. It can take us out of our fretting and show us perspective—and help us deal with our illness more effectively. What's on our plate? Fresh ink. Editrix Jenni got a tattoo last week (designed by her pal Naz) and it’s healing beautifully. Not only did she conquer her fears about the pain of the experience (it wasn’t so bad, really!) she created a permanent daily reminder: peace is every step. In each moment, we can choose to see the bad or the good, the peace or the conflict. She’s aiming for peace. How ‘bout you?
Did you know? The National Pain Foundation just launched a brand-new web site with a rich community of members, and you can participate for free!

Everything is new and waiting for you!

Good friends of Editrix Jenni had a son two days ago. As she cradled little Ezra in her arms, all her concerns and pains faded away and her focus zeroed in on the little miracle she held.
