Are you finding that looking for a job when you live with a chronic illness is daunting, overwhelming, depressing . . .
or a challenge that you feel ready to take on?
This question popped into my head when I read Em’s (chronicillnesssurvival) comment to Joan’s last post, (Disability leave caused one woman to re-evaluate her [...]
To date, most of our interviews (at least the ones I’ve been a part of) have been pre-recorded events for broadcasting on Internet radio shows. On Thursday, September 25th, Markell Steele, career coach and founder of Futures in Motion, will interview me (Joan) about the most common questions that arise for people who must figure [...]
Zentertainment Radio

Women’s Health Week
Last week was National Women’s Health Week – but don’t worry if you missed it. The site is there (Society for Women’s Health Research) and you can still find out all that they do – through the coming year and more, I think. It seems to me that this begs the question: What’s up with [...]
It was another hot marathon day here in Boston this past week. I don’t know about you, but I don’t run anywhere anymore – numb feet /bad balance makes skipping a challenge.
And there was another race in the marathon for President. Wouldn’t it be something if one declared, “I can’t do it anymore. [...]
