Always Spread Love As Thick As Peanut Butter!

-



#WednesdayWisdom: Always stay true to who you are no matter the situation or circumstances, you’ll be grateful you did in the long run. Never stop spreading love as thick as peanut butter!

I send out “happy mail” even though I get hate mail because Spoonie Essentials Box was not meant to be about just sending a box of stuff... it’s about receiving and giving a community of peer support and spreading love. That is why I send “happy mail” to all current AND former Spoonie Essentials subscribers. 

Supporting someone shouldn’t stop just because they’ve chosen to not receive my box anymore. The goal was never to get people to buy boxes, but instead get people to give support. 

So yeah, I even spread love to the nasty people of the world because they need it the most. I committed to spreading love to ALL #SEBsubscribers & I meant it.  

Never stop spreading love ❤️ as thick peanut butter!

I'm Britt, I am a member of a tribe of Chronic Illness Warriors that see the road to better health and self discovery differently. We know we are sick, but our care is our choice. I started Spoonie Essentials Box , a monthly self-care subscription exclusively for fighters like me, a year after an epic battle for my life because understanding the value of Self-Care saved me.

As I become more open about my fight, people without Chronic Illness seem to ask me one of two things: 1. What's a cool "gift idea for a sick friend" or 2. "How to better support someone with chronic illness". The further along I get on this journey, the more I understand and ap

#SEBfamilyStory: Izzy Mejia

by: britt renee' I recently had the unique pleasure of visiting with Isabelle "Izzy" Mejia, a founding member of Spoonie Essentials Box. Izzy is a sophomore at  Arlington High School  in Riverside, California. Izzy has  Lupus ,  Juveniles Arthritis , and  Sjogren's Syndrome .  Izzy, her mom Elaine, and I talked for about 4 hours on Sunday evening. I couldn't help but be in awe of Izzy, she is an amazing intelligent, funny, and unbelievably kind young person. We talked of our shared experiences with “Fighting the Wolf” aka Lupus, a phrase Izzy coined herself because the “butterfly” analogy just wasn’t her thing. Izzy reminds me of a person much older than herself, I suppose this is likely another byproduct of living with a chronic illness at such a young age. You are forced to mature before you’re ready because the management of chronic illness thrust important life decisions into your lap long before you fully understand what they mean.
