In no way, is it our intention to ‘copy’ what someone else has said, our only motive is to share the knowledge and insights that people have shared with us.

 

What goals we are reaching for…………………………

·        The making of a ‘SYNERGY’ Movie, featuring Waffle & Tirzah and the story of the book titled ‘BEAUTIFUL JOE’ by author Margaret Marshall Saunders

·        Expand the internet program to a 30 minute TV program

·        Design and manufacture original Basic 9 clothing, jewelry and products

·        Provide a place of healing for the people that are homeless

·        And to celebrate life to the fullest!

 

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.
