More Than A Job
I grew up in a loving home with a wonderful family who wished nothing but the best for me. I was an only child, and was endlessly spoiled due to the lack of a sibling to share the spotlight in our home, but I remained forever kind and respectful to those around me and intended to become the best version of myself the more I learned and grew.

Tokens of Nature
The warm summer air is blooming with the scent of freshly disturbed soil and vibrant flowers as Abby watches her grandmother work her magic in the front yard of her homely cottage. Abby eagerly awaited her weekend visits to her grandmother's home, and adored the isolated days spent away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Grandma Rose lived up to her name, and found fulfillment in the maintenance and success of her ever-growing garden. Abby often offered her assistance, and Rose's usual kindness would briefly vanish as she swatted her granddaughter's tiny hands away. Over time, Abby discontinued taking offense to these refusals of help and began to understand that Rose was simply endlessly protective of her favourite hobby.

Riley's Hope
As the pandemic struck and my family and I spent our spare time at home, we started to notice the emptiness. It had been years since we had last had a dog occupy our family, and at the time the decision had been made to not welcome a new one.

Ever The Night Owl
It's an early morning at the beginning of spring when I awake, after tossing and turning from the nightmares of winter. The world outside is thawing, greenery protruding from the icy remainders of the prior season, but the sky has not yet cleared from the remaining storms and threat of heavy snowfall.

The Scent of Leather
Living in a small town has its perks. Avoiding the hustle and bustle of city life among a sense of community and familiar faces makes this town feel like home. As much as I appreciate the friendly smiles and welcoming voices, going unnoticed at times is just as important to me.
