The Billie Green Collaborative Care Project - There is a Village Raising Her from a Crack into "The Groove"
On January 1 of this year (2013), Billie Green unwittingly stepped into a new role, as her "YOU!" of the Lumigrate collaborative care model. As a resident of the Grand Valley of western Colorado, moving here after completing the rehabilitation provided by her employer through worker's compensation insurance, with very limiting restrictions at the end of that process which left her looking for work but definitely NOT looking good on an application to employers. read more »

Last Saturday I "jogged" (actually walk/jogged) in the Children's Hunger Fund Run/Walk in Salt Lake City while at USANA's International Convention. The day started just before dawn, filled with the excitement of thousands of people running through the streets of Salt Lake City, raising $125,000 for children in need all around the world. read more »

Thank goodness? That my income is a third what it used to be? That I can barely function some days? That I'm still grieving the loss of the career I'd always wanted? What was I to 'thank goodnessing' for again?? read more »

Sometimes, different 'cocktails' may help for a while only to lose their effectiveness after a period of time. However, there are a number of self-care practices that can help to manage the pain of fibromyalgia that do not involve the use of medications.

Hello Everyone!
I hope September is going well for everyone. Back to school and sports, the weather changing, starting to prepare for the holidays are all big stressors for us, and I know for me, tend to set off flares!

Mardy's note: I copied this in the summer of 2010 from it's original place in the Fibro Awareness forum here at Lumigrate so that it is ALSO located here to be caught here as well. In two months it had gotten almost 2,000 reads, and by year's end it had just over 3,000 in that original location, as well as the hundreds it had here. That's really VERY rewarding and inspiring, and tells us what you like to have on Lumigrate.com! And from there, we develop in the present and that turns into the future, which you are then a part of forming. read more »
