My complimentary copies of our book, Women, Work and Autoimmune Disease: Keep Working Girlfriend! came today. (Unfortunately, Joan’s didn’t and she needs some for a speech she’s making next week so we’re scrambling.) It’s almost (but not quite) as exciting as coming home from the hospital with a newborn!
The publisher gives us some […]
This morning I was re-reading one of Rosalind’s chapters in Women, Work and Autoimmune Disease, “Challenges in the Workplace.” She shared numerous stories and examples to illustrate the complete unpredictability - and impact - of living life and working when you have an autoimmune disease (AD).

You have to read my new report, Perspective. I’m quite proud of it because it’s different from anything I’ve written before. It’s a free download on my website. And, with that, you’ll get a free subscription to my new monthly eNewsletter, Words of Wisdom, the Chronic Illness at Work […]

New York Times blogger, Paula Kamen, writes: “The basic message of the growing number of young women blogging about chronic illness - who have just become a significant force only in […]
My daughter, Lucy, 23, has been teaching in an urban school for two years. She plans to go to Law School in a year. Not to practice law but because she thinks it will give her the credentials she’ll need to do what she wants to do.
And there’s where the story […]
I got this email today and I have to share it with you. It doesn’t need anymore introduction - it speaks for itself. It’s a lot longer than the usual post but I couldn’t bear to edit it - it’s too good a story.
Dear Rosalind,
I had to tell you, I think I’m […]
Living with chronic illness can leave you feeling like you just don’t have choice. NO! Wait! That’s not the warrior spirit. If there’s one thing you always have, it is choice. That’s why Johnny Paycheck’s song, Take this Job and Shove it, has always been one of my favorite […]
Our publisher got this message from bookstore buyers: the name of this book is confusing and won’t generate orders.
