jesse_the_kRicky Buchanan is one of my long-time heroes. I had the good fortune to meet her on the CFS-L listserv back in the 1990s. She’s been basically bed-bound for decades, and she’s contributed so much to our community, where “we” are people with chronic pain and chronic illness.
Energy Saving Self-Care Cards are just one of those great contributions.
Here’s a sample:
There’s a photo of the Australian bush and these words “Lay down on the ground. Let the earth or floor hold you. You don’t have to do it all on your own.”
All 60 cards have a lovely illustration as well as a specific small action to support you in taking care of your mind and body.
You can preview the deck (complete with image descriptions) at Tumblr https://energysavingselfcare.tumblr.com or buy a pack for less than US$20: http://energysavingselfcare.com
Ricky is also the genius behind http://atmac.org, a great resource on “Using Assistive Technology to Empower Apple Users With Disabilities.”
