You are what you read. What you choose to fill your mind with has a great impact on who you are as a person. As Oscar Wilde put it, “It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you’ll be when you can’t help it.”
ALL MY WRITING represents life experiences and lessons learned from more than eight decades of just plain living—as a daughter, sister, friend, wife-then-widow, and a writer, publisher, and speaker who has worked full-time at home since 1971. May you find many articles of interest in your favorite topic categories.

BARBARA BRABECS’S WORLD previously lived on BarbaraBrabec.com, established in 2000. In planning this new site, I gave careful consideration to the content I wanted to preserve on this site vs. that which needed to be relegated to the great dustbin of history. In the process, more than half the content on my former site was discarded.
Unlike BB.com, which featured articles by contributing writers, this one features only my best writing, and only that content deemed to be timeless or historical in nature, of interest to a broad readership, and applicable to life in America today. In the process of planning and building this site, I edited, updated and often expanded every article, story, and report, and then formatted each web page for easier reading. Any errors are mine alone.
