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 reflect my life-related interests, philosophy, and Christian beliefs.

Featured Articles
NEW “Personal Musings” post: My $2,000 Guardian Angel Miracle. Every day, God sends His angels to guard His people on earth. I’ve journaled many instances when I believed I had angelic help. Here’s the story of one of them.
• How Music and Exercise Benefit Your Brain. How to keep your brain healthy and engaged as you age, with resources to help you improve your memory and increase cognitive ability.
• Accidents and Liability Insurance Issues When You Fall on Public Property. A fall on black ice in 2010 led Barbara to scary discoveries about medical liability insurance and the financial pitfalls of falling on public property—plus the knowledge that she had a benign brain tumor called a meningioma. This personal experience story includes insurance tips, as well as dealing with the aftermath of a head injury.
