Information & Inspiration
For all those who are striving for happiness and
success in their personal and professional lives.
After 21 years on my first domain, I launched this all-new, ad-free website so I could continue to encourage and help others through my writing and special services. Everything I write is based on decades of personal and business experience that reflects my life-related interests, philosophy, and Christian beliefs.

Timely Quotes
“Gather and save your good ideas and those from other sources so you’ll always have an inspirational file to rummage through when you’re planning to do something new and aren’t sure how to proceed. Once your mind is filled with ideas and impressions gathered from many sources, ask, ‘How can I combine these ideas in a way that is different from what everyone else is doing?’ That is creativity!” – Barbara
“Science tells us that nothing ever dies, but only changes; that time itself does not pass, but curves around us; and that the past and the future are together at our side forever.” – from the movie, A Portrait of Jennie (1948)
