City festivals, outdoor concerts, beach time, pool time—you name it. It’s her firm belief that you’ve got to make the most of every single gorgeous day. Every minute you commit to enjoying your life, you’re saying NO to your illness taking over. How are you making the most of summer? Let us know! New today at ChronicBabe.com: Let’s talk about S E X, baby! Our most recent blog carnivals have been about summer plans and S E X with chronic illness, so we’ve got PLENTY of good summer reading to keep you occupied for a little while, lovelies.
