Ethiopia Washed Wush Wush Ginbo / Guatemala Benjamin Lopez January has come and gone, gosh wasn’t that fast? It seems like every year goes by faster, with everything blurring around us,  whizzing by; leaving us to spectate, gawking at the wonder of ‘just where did the time go?’ But we’re here together, reader, and I have something important to share with you… Can you guess?
