Preview Of My Book

Prologue My anxiety builds listening to Edith and one of my other supervisors talk about the new virus. I’m chopping carrots, trying not to show that I’m listening to their conversation. With the first COVID-19 cases reported in Saskatchewan and a pandemic declared, many people are absent today, and the day program will likely shut down, too. A day program is a sheltered workshop for people with disabilities to learn job skills and to prepare them for being out in the community. “RaeAnne, do you have a minute?” Sarah, my program director, asks. She is standing in the doorway. “You can go with her,” Edith says, seemingly defeated. “But please, make the right choice.

Book, Blog, AND Twitch Streaming?!

I’m back! There are some exciting things coming! First, My Book! A couple of months ago, I was thrilled to win a microgrant to work with my good friend and published author, Pam Bustin! I first met Pam in the fall of 2022 when she was the Writer in Residence at the Regina Public Library.

Regina’s Entrepreneurial Hub: Exploring Green Dreams Cannabis and its Vibrant Neighbours

As you explore the vibrant 1800 and 1900 Blocks of Hamilton Street in Regina, a tapestry of local businesses unfolds. The Greenspot Cafe beckons with its delectable cinnamon buns, while Lancaster Taphouse invites patrons to indulge in comedy nights, trivia nights, and live music events. Formal dress shops cater to both men and women, creating a diverse shopping experience. Upon crossing 12th Avenue, a lineup of establishments, including Victoria’s Tavern, The Rice Guy, CK Gourmet Pizza, Front Page Beauty, Lush Nail & Spa, Brewed Awakening, and Green Dreams Cannabis, captures your attention. Green, symbolic of the owner’s Irish heritage, and “Dreams,” a nod to her favourite The Cranberries’ song, weave into the identity of Green Dreams Cannabis. The proprietor, Caroline Shannon, known for her role at Shannon’s Pub in the Cathedral area, has ventured into the cannabis industry with Green Dreams Cannabis as her latest endeavour. In 2022, spurred by the Canadian Government’s legalizati...
