I love everything True Crime and I was so happy to find this gem on NETFLIX!

Cases that are in the new now, Ellison breaks them down!

Nee Episodes on Wednesdays!

Hosted weekly by journalist Ellison Barber, this gripping podcast digs into the most captivating and talked about true crime cases.

Anyone who knows me knows I love a good Tue Crime documentary or Podcast! 

I find Allegedly to be an amazing outlet to get real information for some of the biggest cases in the media.

Ellison along with her guests break things down for the viewer in a way that makes some of the investigator and lawyer talk make sense.

Crazy Cat Lady Chronicles: Introduction

 

 Hello, and welcome to something fun!

I have had the pleasure of having six cats in my adult life, four are still with me. 

Join me on this fun, heartfelt and sometimes heartbreaking journey as I tell you tales from being a cat owner!

These creatures have changed my life completely and there are days that because of them that I keep going when I'd rather give up! They with my children are my sanity and the reason I exist!

I'm going to start with saying.... I didn't always like cats - THERE I SAID IT!  I didn't hate them but didn't want one in my house. I did however love and enjoy my friends cats over the years.

One day everything changed...

My oldest wanted a kitten, I told her to ask her father, thinking it would be a hard no. To my surprise he said yes and we were at the SPCA a few days later. We had two dogs, so I was not sure how this was going go!

After seeing many kittens Ana decided on a cute very small tortoiseshell we named Scarlett.

Little did I know this little creature was going to change my life forever.

Cats are complex and amazing. I for one count myself lucky to have been able to love and be loved by these feisty little fur balls!

Really he only time a cat breaks your heart is when they leave this life.

I'm going to try and post a short cat story every Wednesday, barring life doesn't get in the way!

See you nest time!

Stay Pawsitive!

“An uplifting tale of friendship, kindness, and connection . . . This joyful story of the unlikely friendship between five strangers and one remarkable cat is a must-read for cat lovers.”—Marianne Cronin, author of The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

Núria, a single-by-choice barista with a little resentment for the “crazy cat lady” label, is a member of The Meow-Yorkers, a group in Brooklyn who takes care of the neighborhood’s stray cats. On her volunteering days, she starts finding Post-it notes left by a secret admirer in an area where her feeds her favorite stray—a black cat named Cat. Like most felines, he is both curious and observant, so of course he knows who the notes are from. Núria, however, is clueless.

Are the notes from Collin, a bestselling author and self-professed hermit with a weakness for good coffee? Are they from Lily, a fresh-out-of-high school Georgia native searching for her long-lost half sister? Are they from Omar, the beloved neighborhood mailman going through an early midlife crisis? Or are they from Bong, the grieving widower who owns Núria’s favorite bodega?

When Cat suddenly falls ill, these five strangers find themselves bonding together in their desire to care for him, and discover that chance encounters can lead to the meaningful connections they’ve all been searching for.

Just wow!

I listened to this book and it was amazing! So heartfelt and the emotions that this book makes one feel are deep, both happy and sad. 

I loved it because it starred at cat of course (cat does not talk - you just get his inner thought) but the bonds and friendships that both already existed and those that happen during the book made my heart melt.

A stray cat, 5 strangers, a terrifying event... changes 6 lives!

I loved this book so ,much and I give it 5 out of 5 drinks!
