During the summer of 2003 I visited iVillage.com for the
first time. IVillage is the top women's website on the internet! Since I have long been interested in all aspects
of health and since I have my own health concerns, I headed straight to the Health message boards. I wandered between
the Depression Support board and the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue board for a while until I discovered that my own experiences
gave me something to offer to others.
Before long, I became a community leader -- first, for the Depression Support board. Then I proposed a new
board on the healing aspects of humor, Laugh Yourself Well, and became its first "CL", soon to be joined by Jen,
my co-CL. Now I am CL of the Bereavement & Healing board in addition to the humor board. In addition,
I hosted the First Annual iVillage Christmas Day Chat in 2004 and recently co-ordinated the Signature Exchange for the Health
& Well-Being Team.
IVillage has had a huge impact on my personal health and well-being, as well as on my overall quality of life.
I continue to make new discoveries about myself as I give back to others.
