If you've seen some great websites or events or organizations,
why not let us know so we can feature them in future issues. Keep in mind that
we publish three issues a year so information should be general and
not time oriented. Email us at zine@sheenasplace.org

a website promoting healthy body attitudes and acceptance. It has
a good number of links and resources, with useful self-help techniques
such as meditation, as well as strategies for proper eating and
enjoyment of meals, introspection, etc.

the blog of a woman in Chicago who is a writer, author of "Candyboots" and
