Goodie Bag #161 - We're feeling the love! - view in your web browser
You are loved, ChronicBabes! One thing that helps me each week as I face new challenges is heading over to the ChronicBabe Forum and seeing how many amazing women are there. It feels like I can ask any question and get support and love from all of you - and I know that many of you feel the same way. I'll take a moment now to thank all of you for the amazing support you've given me over the years. I hope I can give it all back to you and more! New today at ChronicBabe.com: There's love for all of us In honor of Valentine's Day, we gathered the recent blog carnival full of posts from ChronicBabes about the special people in their lives. We hear from people about their spouses, friends, parents, co-workers and more - and how thankful they are to have such full lives. I hope you'll read these stories and feel inspired to nurture more loving relationships in your own life! What's on our plate? Lots of vegetables, fruit and other healthy stuff. It's been almost a month since I joined Weight Watchers, as I wrote in a post a few weeks ago. I'm proud to say I'm down about 15 pounds and actually enjoying vegetables I've never loved before, like brussels sprouts, cauliflower and leeks. Quinoa? Oh yea! Spinach in the morning smoothie? Oh yea! It's amazing how much better I feel. If you're on the fence about trying a new healthy living approach, three words: go for it!
Did you know? Today is National Organ Donor Day. At the national organ donor registry, you can sign up to give a life-saving gift. Of course we want you around forever, but maybe you can help someone who is truly in need. I know a couple people currently on organ donor lists and I would donate if I could. Consider it, Babes!

Tell someone you love them TODAY. I don't care who it is. Tell a friend, a neighbor, a sibling, a parent, a lover, a spouse, a co-worker...seriously. Just try it.
