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!

As one of the #MillionsMissing, I wrote Long Covid Transformed My Mommy from bed over 2 years to #educateME on what life with #LongCOVID and #MECFS is like. Get a copy at dottieloni.com #MEAction @pillowwriters.bsky.social @meactnet.bsky.social @solveme.bsky.social @batemanhornecenter.bsky.social
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
#Schools and #libraries need #childrensbooks on what it's like to live with #LongCOVID. Shockingly few books exist! This is why I wrote, Long COVID Transformed My Mommy and Long COVID Transformed My Sister into a Turtle. Available at dottieloni.com. #TLSKY #EDUSKY #Skybrarian #schoolcounselors
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
