Yes, I write poetry and am in the process of writing my personal rare disease journey. I also color and play design and fashion games. They all help.
, that's so neat! I love that you have some diverse creative outlets, from something as old as writing poetry to playing fashion and design games! It's nice to have options, depending on your mood and energy level each day.
Best, Erin, Team Member.
My favorite crafts are knitting, crochet, sewing, and using my cricut machine. Right now I have been on a kick of knitting Mr. Rogers sweaters for everyone. It’s my way to relax every night!
, that is beautiful work, and a lovely, cozy color! I love needlework as well, I bet the recipient will be thrilled, and feel well-loved! - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
Yes, I design and sew costumes for theatre groups. If I’m unable to sew, ii have others that will help. I crochet, embroider, or counted cross stitch as my own relaxation
, that's awesome! We'd love to see some of your handiwork! - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
I really need to start doing something different. I have been having so much pain in my body lately. I really enjoy journaling. I enjoy reading a great book. I need to try something different. I have Sickle Cell Anemia. I was diagnosed with Sickle Cell when I was six months old. I have had so much stress in my life. I'm tried of being in severe pain.
, do you find you can lock in with journaling and get space from the pain? I know that I can completely immerse in a good book - and am literally transported. Have you had a chance to try it yet? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
