A fellow ChronicBabe Joanna joins us today. Aren’t her shoes simply adorable? Here’s what she says about the Be Here Now experience:

I work with kids on the autism spectrum, and each day brings new and different challenges… I love it. My message is written on elementary-school lined paper, sitting on top of my crazy jam-packed planner…but topped off with my pretty sparkly shoes. They definitely help to make any pain move to a back-burner, if only for a moment.

Joanna has an excellent piont - mindfulness can be a truly awesome pain management technique, and it’s one I use frequently in my own life with fibromyalgia. I wish I could teach it to everyone I know who lives with chronic pain!

Want to join the Be Here Now experiment? Just email me a photo (check out what other folks have been sending in as examples) to chronicbabe @ g mail . com and include a little explanation that I can share. Thanks!
