		<title>Are You Like Mr. Bates or Mrs. Patmore?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Struggling to stay at your new job while living with chronic health conditions? Struggling to keep your job while living with a chronic health condition? Then you might want to tune into Downton Abbey, Season 1,  to see what to do and what to avoid . Maybe they should make a series called, &#8220;Working and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you acting from confidence or fear?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A former client sent me a Holiday e-card with  a note that she&#8217;d lost her job and with it, her family&#8217;s health insurance.   In follow up emails she told me that she was part of a lay off  last month,  she&#8217;s been feeling sicker since she&#8217;s left work and feels lost. She wants to work with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can You Meet the Expectations You Set?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I woke in the middle of the night for the 3rd time to go to the bathroom (incontinence again!),  I found myself muttering.  Of course, the middle of the night is the worst time to think about anything, and I was panicking about what wouldn&#8217;t get done today.   One thing I&#8217;m good at is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you let the &#8216;to do&#8217; list rule your life?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got an email pointing out that I don&#8217;t have pain resources on my website.  This person said she  wanted to hire me to coach her in finding work.  But, she wrote, I obviously don&#8217;t know anything about living with pain since it&#8217;s missing from my site. She&#8217;s right that there&#8217;s not enough on my [...]]]></description>

		<title>One person&#8217;s story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following interview is with Sophie Lee who has published a book  about her life with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS.  I find her  story compelling.  Does it resonate with you? Q:  What made you write this book?  A: More than anything, I just wanted to tell the truth about IBS. There are so many myths [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you think you can?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.   Vince Lombardi &#160; Motivation and will power fascinate me. Maybe because I didn&#8217;t have much of either when I was young and then they each blossomed. Illness in my late [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinking for yourself when thinking about work and chronic illness?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What does it take for a person with chronic illness to continue working ?  And, if possible, to do so in a rewarding way?  I&#8217;ve wrestled with  this personally for over 30 years, and more recently in my professional life as a coach/writer/activist of sorts in the past 10 years. A recent New York Times [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tips for Using Social Media in a Job Hunt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is a guest blog by Erica Moss. Sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn can land you a job if used correctly &#8212; or ruin your chances if mishandled.

		<title>Suggestions or advice? You choose.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several recent emails have either asked for my &#8216;advice&#8217; on a topic or  angered with the &#8216;advice&#8217;  I&#8217;d given.  Funny thing is &#8212; I don&#8217;t see myself in the business of giving advice,  either as a blogger/writer or in my coaching practice. So what&#8217;s this about?   I asked myself,  what does it mean &#8216;to give [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talking about chronic illness?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living with chronic illness means that life&#8217;s challenges become &#8230;  even more challenging. After more than 10 years of coaching people around living with illness and their work life, blogging on this topic,  and in my personal experience, I&#8217;ve decided that the basics matter.  The basics allow a person to thrive, not just survive.
