A short quote, but please read the whole article, it was so difficult to pick just a paragraph:<\/p>\n

It is very easy to push aside someone\u2019s story, if that story is only the bullet point on a slide or the footnote in an academic article.\u00a0 It is much harder to look away at the painting on someone\u2019s back, screaming at you like so many wheals and welts.\u00a0 To know this image is someone\u2019s story. To look at the painted eyes that look into yours and seem say, \u201cI died, and it is all for naught if you do not act.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you do not already know Regina’s work and art, also check The Walking Gallery<\/a>, and join us there with your health story.<\/p>\n
