Finding Organizing Bliss For Spring
An organized home is a comfortable place where you are able to find what you need and can feel proud. A place where all items are meaningful and useful. Disorganized spaces and clutter lead to feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious and antsy. Conversely, the feelings people have when they are in a tidy, uncluttered environment are those of happiness, calm, balance and peace.

With the summer right around the corner, it is time to make those vacation plans for you and your pets. But where should you board your cats? For most people, there are two choices: an animal hospital or a boarding facility. The animal hospital option is best if your cat is ill or you are in fear of a medical situation.

by Michele Guttenberger Many think of Thomas Edison as an inventor of the incandescent light bulb or phonograph but, few realize the cultural impact he had for creating the world’s first motion picture studio that still parallels to today’s digital video culture.

History also gives credit to Edison’s lead staff engineer William Kennedy Laurie Dickson, who not only helped to develop the motion picture cameras and projectors but also produced these short motion picture films. The most humorous popular videos on YouTube are the antics of cats.
