Summary

VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR HEATHER GREEN:

TO CATCH A CAT, HOW THREE STRAY KITTENS RESCUED ME

With a busy career at BusinessWeek Magazine, at the height of her professional life, and at a dizzying time in the internet economy, Heather Green made a rather arbitrary decision that changed her life.

This decision tapped into her urge to help, get involved, act. As a journalist, that was a natural urge. But this was more. Because rescuing the three kittens and finding them homes got Heather involved within a community of neighbor's, new friends in the rescue community in the area, and others who cared as she did. Heather started creating real roots and a feeling of belonging—something she hadn't had for a big part of her life growing up as a military brat who moved every two years.

Is this what life is all about? Certainly it is part of it, and the questions Heather began to answer provide answers to us all.

Part of the new Not Old Better series on "Art of Living," you'll love this interview and the book. Enjoy.
