While recovering from #LongCOVID, #MECFS, #POTS I discovered I am an #artist & #childrensbooks #author. Even with #disability, limitations, and symptoms, I am learning to love my life, knowing that I am enough. I want to share my gifts to help others!

Because so few books exist about families with chronic illness, I started Land of Rest and Roar #KidLit read-alouds on YouTube. Focused on #ChronicIllness, #LongCovid, #MECFS, #POTS, & #PostViralIllness, so #spoonie families feel seen in #KidsBooks. What would you like to see a story about?

Chronic illness and disability in children's #picturebooks are almost entirely missing. Is there a market and #readers for characters, #parents, or #children, with a #chronicillness and #disability? Stories could be about any topic. What do you think? #childrensbooks #kidlit #libraries

Rarely is #Chronicillness and #parenting spoken about together; that's why www.mamasfacingforward.com was created. Read a review of #LongCovid Transformed My Mommy and check out other resources created for parents living with chronic illness. #KidLit

But for many young people with Long Covid and overlapping illnesses, chronic symptoms can make it challenging to connect and feel “in place”. Join us in committing to listen, support, and include every child and young person — in every space 🧡 #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #LongCovid #LongCovidKids

Most families have no idea their child can develop Long COVID. They aren’t hearing it from pediatricians, schools, or public health agencies. Parents can’t advocate for their children if they don’t know there’s something to advocate for.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #PediatricLongCOVID

#LongCOVID causes #MECFS in kids & adults. Living with an energy-limiting #disability is life-altering. Crushing fatigue, post-exertional malaise, no amount of sleep or rest restores your energy. Long COVID Transformed My Mommy at dottieloni.com @meactnet.bsky.social @longcovidsupport.bsky.social

#Dysautonomia, #POTS, causes #disability in many kids and adults with #LongCOVID. It is an invisible illness, making it hard for many to understand how life-changing it is. That's why I wrote, Long COVID Transformed My Sister get at dottieloni.com @dysautonomia.bsky.social @dyssupport.bsky.social

Words at the bottom of the page say,  My sister is a like a hummingbird. Her heart races so fast that it makes her very uncomfortable and dizzy. I tell her, " Sit down, before you fall down."brown-skinned child with dark brown eyes and short curly black hair peaking out behind a purple blanket.  The words on the page say, My Sister can seem invisible. She rarely leaves the house. Many days, she doesn't even leave her bed. She misses her friends, going to school and her activities. I take photos and videos of fun things, so she is included. resource page with text from the book Long COVID Transformed My Sister into a Turtle

Love is the antidote to overcome the hate, fear, violence, and political divisiveness in our country. As MLK Jr. said, " Love is the most durable power in the world." To harness the power of love, start with loving yourself. I offer this to each of you. You are enough just as you are. #YouMatter
Artwork by Sara Robitaille, created with watercolor pens,  many types of colorful flowers, and in the center, in black bold capital letters, the words, " YOU ARE ENOUGH."
