Hi Reader, Hope your week is going well. Do you know anyone famous who loves cats? I want to do a series exploring how cats inspire creativity. Our unboxing this week matters a lot. I contacted Clearly Filtered to see if they would send me these items to review because I recently discovered my liver is pretty taxed from navigating daily toxins, and I drink a lot of tap water. Charlie gets bottled spring water for his fountains, but this allows me to save money on bottled water and give him...

Hi Reader, How are you? I am looking to do more interviews with veterinarians, holistic or integrative ones. What subject matters would you like to have covered? This week's interview is with Dr. Anna Maria Wolf, a holistic veterinarian out of the PNW. We discussed Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome - which is what Charlie had three years ago that I (with the guidance of a holistic practitioner) was able to get under control and it's now in remission. It's important to me to get these talks out...

Hi Reader, I have been sending these emails out monthly because readers love the reminder. I love these deals and definitely take advantage of them every time they come out. They used to be monthly, but now they are not as frequent. Do you know about the Chewy deal? Free $30 eGift Card with $100 purchase with code HAVEFUN. And what's really cool is that you can do the deal 3x every time - they vary, though, when it's available. And there are limitations on what they include for this....

Hi Reader, As I prepare this newsletter, I am watching Starfish on Amazon Prime. The film depicts the devastating impact of sepsis on a family. Tom Ray contracts a life-threatening condition, which results in him losing his limbs and having severe facial disfigurement. It portrays the couple's struggle to cope with this sudden and drastic life change. It has reminded me of how many things I take for granted daily. April 12 was a full moon, and our pollen is crazy high (FYI -...

Hi Reader, I hope your week is going well. I went to Orlando last week to Global Pet Expo and was very excited to meet Julie Anne Lee of Adored Beast Apothecary. I didn't know she would be there, and it was quite fun to meet her after all the interviews we have done (I think we have done four?). After spending time with her in person, I love her even more. I loved the show's first day; I was so excited about everything. However, as I got into the second day, I started to get sad about all the...

Hi Reader, Hope your week is going really well. By the time you get this email, I will be at Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida. I have ALWAYS wanted to go, but haven't been able to get away because of Charlie or Trigg's needs/health, finances etc. Charlie is stable enough, so I am able to travel. My mom and sister are also in town, so if the cat sitter has any trouble, I know they are around to help out. However, I feel terrible when he is alone, especially with Trigg gone. Do you have a...
