The Spotted Woman, Schaumburg, IL
When I was in my 40’s I noticed that my hands were getting mottled.
Off I went to a dermatologist who told me I had “Vitiligo*”. Parts of
my skin were losing their pigmentation. Although not contagious, there
is no reversing the process. I did what any other person would do. I got
a second opinion….from my Mom. “Oh,” she told me “that’s just something that happens in our family. It’s not a big deal, and it will keep you humble.” She was right, other than staying out of the sun and having my husband call me “Spot”, it wasn’t a big deal. (I am one of the lucky ones). I even referred to myself as a Spotted Woman. It didn’t take a big stretch to name my business after myself. (So much for keeping me humble!)
