It's 4:32 in the morning, and I'm sitting here bleary-eyed, surrounded by stacks of papers, a half-empty coffee mug, and my loyal companion, Gracie, looking at me with sleepy eyes. The title of this blog, "I Need Coffee," couldn't be more accurate right now.

For weeks, I've been burning the midnight oil, working tirelessly on every detail of launching Animal MAGNAtism. From crafting the perfect announcement to building the website from scratch, and working with my friends Carly and Suzy on the LOGO,  it's been a whirlwind of late nights and early mornings.


But you know what? Despite the exhaustion, I've never felt more alive or excited. This journey isn't just about starting a business; it's about fulfilling a lifelong dream of helping animals live their best lives.


I've asked countless friends to proofread content, brainstormed ideas until my brain felt like mush, and drank enough coffee to power a small village. And yet, every moment of effort has been worth it.


As I look around the room at my four dogs, Gracie, Nellie, River, and Roody, and Loki the cat curled up in a cozy corner, I can't help but smile. These furry companions are my inspiration, my motivation, and my reason for embarking on this incredible journey.


So here's to late nights, strong coffee, and the beginning of something truly special. Animal MAGNAtism isn't just a business—it's a passion, a purpose, and a promise to make a difference in the lives of animals.


Cheers to new beginnings!
