Happy New Year everyone! It has been two weeks since my last blog, as we have had Christmas and New Year on the Wednesdays in between, and the holiday has been MANIC. Christmas is always so busy I find, seeing family and friends and all the cooking and work that has to fit in …

Imagine, if you will: You are looking at your hand, and you notice a small red mark, like chicken pox. You spend a long time cleaning it, putting on special medication, and eventually, after your extensive ministrations, the spot disappears.
