My name is Natalia and I’m the Community Coordinator for an online health community called WEGO Health (www.wegohealth.com). I came across your blog, while doing some research into the online RA community. I was so impressed the great resource you have created for the greater RA community.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note because we recently launched a new video platform called WEGOHealth.tv and are in the process of building a RA Channel featuring the advice, information and wisdom of Health Activists like yourself. I think you would be an excellent addition to the channel and I would love to chat with you about possibly creating a video with us!

Please check out our site; http://tv.wegohealth.com/ and get back to me at your convenience if you have any interest.

I know this note it a little out of the blue and I understand if it’s not something you would be interested in, but I didn’t want you to miss out on the opportunity.

Thanks,

Natalia

Sometimes I just tell myself, “well, this is what I’m giving this person, and if they don’t like it, at least they know I care about them.”

Do hope you’re feeling a bit better now!

Love the movie basket idea!! That would work for JP1 I think … not sure about JP2.

Or maybe a subscription to one of their favorite magazine if you should be able to squeeze that out of them before Christmas. And if all else fails…I go with a Mastercard or Visa gift card with a personal note telling them how much you appreciate them and all they do. Good luck on your quest :-)

Not for either of these too ladies though … have done scarf in the past for JP1 and even taught her how to crochet so she could do some, so can’t do that again I’m afraid!

Perhaps a scarf or simple earwarmer… i know you cross stitch, but do you knit or crochet? I make some “killer” slippers? And have made tons of “tissue holders” for the purse… I can find a link for that one… very simple…
Also, i’m hoping you have given me the inspiration i need to get crackin’ on the beginning of my Christmas Crafting!!!
Barbara
