insights that people have shared with us.
What goals we are reaching for…………………………

Margaret Marshall Saunders

Why Gregg & Karen do this…………………………..
We have been to the bottom of the pit. If we are able to
help someone climb out of their pit with what we have
learned, then we have been successful in flavoring the world
with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.
Why do we use ‘critters’? ………………………………
Karen has always wanted to be a cartoon voice, and she also
has wanted to work with animals. When their friend had 2
cats pregnant at the same time, and a liter of 12 precious
kitties were born, we just had to adopt 2 of them…thus
Waffle & Tirzah became a part of our family in 2008.
Realizing their unique qualities for a cat, Spirit prompted
us to stick with it, and to create a program that would
inspire people to ‘lighten up’ and learn the simple basics
of living life to the fullest!
We have the great privilege to offer the world smiles
through Waffle & Tirzah and many other critters.
