  • Last Days of Winter

    by Laura Reid

    Winter can be seen as a dark time. It is cold, often gloomy, bitter and in many moments uncomfortable. It comes with its share of coughs and sneezes, runny noses and frozen toes, and what can seem like endless snow-shoveling.

  • Valentine's Day

    by Laura Reid

    Valentine’s day. A day of the year where we get the opportunity to share and express our love for one another. It is a chance to show the gratitude that the people around us so greatly deserve. Flowers, chocolates, and lotions are all wonderful gifts, but do they tell a story? Do they have a deeper purpose?
