About Me

Martha Gillham Smith, EdD, retired educator and multi-business owner has had many losses in life, but has also had the joy of many good times heightened by four-legged creatures who left paw prints on her heart.

One such creature is a mini Aussie named Olive.

“Dogs cannot talk with their mouths but their actions carry more meaning than any conversation could.”
