The adversity she faced in her life both from physical and mental illness is nothing short of epic. The hope is that her words challenge, comfort, and inspire you to love and embrace life’s journey. - Victoria Hyla Maldonado, Editor“Sadly there is no ice bucket challenge for migraines, especially not the hemiplegic kind. No 5K race to raise awareness. So here is my attempt to do that. If you are a migraine sufferer, please like and share. Not for me, but for all that suffer, usually
in silence surrounded by way too many unopened medical bills.” - Lisa F. Gullo (1967-2018)
The voices of those who struggle with mental health need to be shared so others who have been silenced by shame or stigma can listen to stories that sound like their own. We need to create a sense of community so those who also have mental health concerns know that they are not alone and that their lives and their experiences matter. Lisa Gullo’s poetry and Victoria Hyla Maldonado’s editing are doing just that in this anthology. - Lauren Harris, Psy.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist
