Go out for a walk . . .

“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but 'steal' some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

~Albert Camus, Notebooks

Beyond the Diagnosis . . .

Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing Patricia Weltin, CEO and Founder of Beyond the Diagnosis. In the spirit of promoting others who are making the world a better place to live, please check out the wondrous work that Patricia is doing!

“Beyond the Diagnosis” is a traveling art exhibition of beautiful portraits. There are over 100 portraits in the collection by amazing artists from around the world. 

"The Beyond the Diagnosis art exhibit's focus is the orphan disease patient. Artists have donated their time and talents to paint orphan disease patients for this groundbreaking exhibit. Each portrait represents a single orphan disease. Our goal is to put a face to all 7,000 orphan diseases. This beautiful exhibit is traveling to medical schools, research institutes and hospitals around the globe encouraging the medical community to look “beyond the diagnosis” to the patient. 
Art has been used for thousands of years to successfully convey a message, whether it be a story or a glimpse into the human spirit. At Beyond the Diagnosis, we believe art not only leaves a powerful and lasting visual imprint but creates a unique connection for the viewer."

Social Media can be a lot of "Me! Me! Look at Me!" but for the next 7 days, my posts will be about promoting others who are making the world a better place to live.
Shout out to my friend Sarah Lyn Sindoni-Faris and her healing arts practice at nelumbohealingarts.com! We did a chilly photoshoot in the White Mountains New Hampshire to promote her biz.
