Hiya, I’m Barbara! I believe words heal. Whether written or read, words have a way of building a bridge from the heart to the mind. I want to explore that. I’m a 30-something hope-in-progress bent on growing despite the gritty, pot-holed road of adulthood. Jump in the passenger seat and I’ll try to be a good driver! My work experience includes a smattering of jobs from shop girl to communications manager with a healthy dose of nanny and house-cleaner. Basically, I’m your Jane of all trades. I’ve lived in three countries (USA, Dominican Republic, and Austria), and I’ve visited 27 more countries on top of that. My goal is to visit the world. Shhh! A girl can dream! My most cherished dream (besides traveling the world) is to become a published novelist (which happened on November 15, 2018, when Teal Paisley Tights released). I rarely turn away ice cream (peanut butter please) and only buy purses that provide room for a book or two (or a kindle). I’d love to connect on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or Facebook. Cordially (and with so much love), Barbara
