OT: call for essays on living with Mold Illness!

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I am in the midst of developing a website called Planet Thrive--a grassroots

community for personal wellness. It's for people like us struggling to recover

from the damaging effects of an increasingly toxic world. I am hoping for it to

go live in March 2006.

I'm looking for essays for our section entitled In My Shoes: An Experiential

Look at Illness. Basically, I want to present a collection of essays that let

the

readers know what it is like to live with a particular health condition. An " A

day

in the life " , or snapshot approach. Please consider writing a 1 page (or

longer) essay on what a typical day is like living with Mold Illness, so others

can better understand our experience.

Essays can take different forms...some ideas:

1. Daily schedule list (ie 9am-11am Tried to get up but was too tired and had

to stay in bed. 11am-1pm Took me 2 hours to prepare breakfast because.....)

2. Journal/diary entries

3. Event-by-event account. (ie I got up this morning and even before I woke I

knew it was going to be a hard day....)

We are offering complimentary fully upgraded memberships to all for the first

three months. Please submit essays to me backchannel by the end of

February 2006.

Thank you!
