How to Find Financial Assistance for Chronic Illness Expenses
Did you know that patients with chronic illness can apply for grants to help with medical expenses? Me neither! I’m going to share about several organizations that provide medical grants and financial assistance.
I can’t believe I’ve been seriously ill for over six years and am just now hearing something like this exists! I thought medical grants were something only doctors or researchers could apply for.
These programs may be able to help with costs like copays, insurance premiums, prescription costs, and more.

Reading List Printables to Keep Track of All Your Books
For everyone who could use help keeping track of books you’re reading, I’ve created reading list printables that will make your reading life more organized.
If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time reading and thinking about books, and it can be a little challenging to keep track of them all. (Books have a known tendency to be a little wild…)

How to Make a Detective Themed Display Board
I have a friend who loves mysteries, especially Nancy Drew, and I wanted to make her a detective themed display board for her collection of pins and buttons.
Today’s project is a variation on a ribbon board or memo board—you’ve probably seen pictures of them with the ribbons neatly crisscrossed. I have one above my desk and use it to display cards, photos, and other ephemera. This is a great way to upcycle an unused frame or plain bulletin board.

Flexibility is Key—Creating with Chronic Illness
Happy New Year friends! I’ve been thinking about the importance of flexibility with chronic illness, especially when it comes to taking care of my health and making time for my creative pursuits.
January seems like the perfect month to share some updates, as well as what I’ve found helpful on my health journey recently. I hope these reflections are helpful for you too!
I’m thrilled to be participating in A Chronic Voice’s link up again this month. This link up is a way for chronically ill bloggers to connect by writing posts based on the same prompts. I love the creative challenge offered by the prompts and seeing what others write!

DisneyBound Challenge 2: Villains
It’s time for me to share some photos for our second DisneyBound challenge, right in time for Halloween! In case you missed the first challenge, I put together a look inspired by my favorite Disney princess. Be sure to check out which princess Olivia Wolfertz of Unpolished Ponderings chose and how she brought her character’s look to life.
Never heard of Disneybounding? It’s basically dressing up using colors, styles, or the general aesthetic of a character. It’s like a simplified take on wearing a complete costume.
PS I just joined Instagram and will be sharing more Disneybounds in October! Follow @cassiecreleyblog
