She is a Woman who had so much pain in her back she covered it everyday with more and more medicine. She was always adding more. Till one day she dropped the medicine tube and her back was too heavy to pick up the tube from the floor so she asked her daughter to pick up the medicine. The daughter said, "Where does it hurt?" The mom said, "On my back." The daughter replied that she couldn't see it because it was so covered with medicine and that she couldn't even see where to apply the medicine anymore. The mother thought to herself and reflected. They began to remove the medicine and on her back. While exploring Exposure’s back, one vertabrae at a time, they found many scary ideas, dreams and experiences hidden her back. They cleaned and talked and explored until they exposed all the stories. The exposure left several scars but the Women found that the scars gave them strength and new beauty. They had created their own story stones.
