About Me:  Editor - Kathryn Mundell
Being a Pisces, I have an engineering/mathematical/logical side AND an artistic/creative/imaginative side.

My love of animals began very early on, and I was in the junior curator program at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center (in CT) for 2 summers when I was 10 & 11 years old. My sisters & I always had cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, white mice, frogs & salamanders as we were growing up (I was especially drawn to the cats). But I had to wait until I was out on my own before I could get my horses (also rescues).

Currently I am a computer software analyst (to pay the bills), and a volunteer with Noah's Ark Animal Welfare Assoc. (in NJ) for the past 10 years - helping them organize their highly successful Tricky Tray fundraisers. I truly appreciate their “no-kill” philosophy which they established back in 1996, and try to support them whenever possible, while taking care of my own fabulous feline family.

Photographer - Peggy Mundell
My love affair with photography began many years ago, starting with High School Sports photography. My interests soon evolved to urban landscapes, with my Alley Art series being featured in shows across the United States. My other love lies with animals, especially the Canine world - and I have found a happy merging of the two. I currently freelance and am a contributing photographer for Dog Fancy Magazine and Brown Trout Calendars.

I am happy to be "owned" by two rescued Cocker Spaniels, Indie and Bennett, and we live & work in the San Diego, CA area. We have also travelled throughout the USA doing photo shoots as fundraisers for various animal shelters & rescue groups. Animal Rescue is close to my heart - I started the local Cocker Spaniel rescue back in 2002 and ran the day-to-day operations before stepping down in 2009. I am happy to be collaborating with my sister on the 101 Warm Fuzzies project!

Beauty can be found everywhere, but it's hard to see the rainbow if you're always looking down ...

Our pets, and animals in general, can bring a sense of serenity, comfort and joy into our lives. They provide us with non-judgmental, unconditional, love and acceptance, for who we are, just as we are, no-strings-attached. Studies have shown that there are times when it is much easier to open up and share with our animals than it is to relate to other people. Just stroking an animal’s fur can bring down blood pressure, and watching their antics can brighten our lives and bring a smile to our faces, even when we don’t think we have anything else to smile about.

A Warm Fuzzy Feeling is defined as a feeling of comfort or trust; friendly and affectionate; a good impression. It is something that is uplifting, cheerful, and inspiring, bringing good feelings and helping to brighten a day whenever it is received. It can be in the form of a random act of kindness, a small pay-it-forward generosity, or simply a smile in passing.

Having experienced many ups & downs, we wanted to find a way to help others hold on, rise up, move forward and re-connect with themselves, with hope, with life as it can be, whenever they feel they need a gentle lift to help them get started. Our hope is that these Warm Fuzzies will provide a little bit of hope and encouragement, to help lift your spirits when everything else seems to be getting you down, and help to bring a smile and a little bit of happiness into the world.

We also hope that these Warm Fuzzies help to inspire you to share some Joy with others too, because ... Everyone could use some Warm Fuzzies in their life!
