Home really IS where the heart is

The Editrix

Cheesy but true. Home needs to be a place where we are comfortable, where we draw strength and sustenance, where we recharge. So is your space designed to make you feel awesome? Take a few moments today to think about your home…and the few easy fixes you could make. Pretty curtains, fluffier pillows, a fresh coat of paint, a new set of shelves to organize your books…make your place all about YOU and what you love, and your home will give you peace.

New today at ChronicBabe.com: I’m a turtle

Turtle-Babe

The Editrix is trying to be a turtle. Sounds bizarre, right? But when you think about it, a turtle carries its home wherever it goes, so it’s comfortable and safe in almost any situation. And it can tuck in anytime danger strikes! Its slow and steady approach to life is a nice change of pace, something we Babes with energy drain need to try. Read on about Jenni’s turtle-y ways.

What's on our plate?

Moving Boxes, ug

Moving! ChronicBabe HQ is home again February 25, almost exactly six months since it was devastated by a freak storm. Editrix Jenni is learning a valuable lesson about delegation; there’s so much going on at once, it’s impossible for one Babe to handle it all. Her friends have convinced her to hand off some responsibilities, and it’s a…relief. Why weren’t we doing this before? Babes: Delegate! Ask for help!

 

Did you know?

FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered) is trying to “improve the lives of individuals and families affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.” They offer info on risk management, finding health care, advocacy and more. You can also join support groups, check out the message board or call their toll-free helpline.

What we're up to lately...

ChronicBabe HQ is packing up and moving home! So there’s not a ton of time to think about new projects for all our Babes. But once we’re settled, we’ll have lots of new goodies to offer, including the long-awaited forum, some new eBooks, interviews with cool Babes, informative teleseminars and more. It’s going to rock! But first, Editrix Jenni has to carve a path to her computer through all these boxes…
