Hello, this is Barbara.
I’ve been keeping a blog of some kind since the dawn of time. I wish I still had some of those earlier blogs. They were terrible, but, man, was it exciting to be on the freakin’ internet.
You could meet people who were miles and miles away without having to jack up your phone bill. Think about how ridiculous it was to pay a 50-dollar phone bill back in the day the next time you look at your cell phone bill.
As time moved on, blogs became “niche” which is good for businesses and consumers. But, then personal blogs became personal brands.
Everyone has a book (I have several – Kid’s books) and everyone has a YouTube Channel (except me). Everyone is a coach or teaches a class (also, me – Skillshare & Udemy).
This is great. I’m not complaining about the multiple streams of income or the ability to share and gain knowledge. Nor am I complaining about our ability to share and manifest joy with others around the world.
What I am saying this – a branded blog is not a personal blog. It isn’t the freedom we were promised when the internet was new. So, I am laying waste to personal branding here. I will leave the branding for business (mine and otherwise).
I will share pictures sometimes. I will most likely write about my workouts and food. I will blog about my projects and give relevant links when I think it is necessary.
I will keep the BUY NOW buttons on my business sites, in relevant blog posts and on relevant pages. Deal? Deal.
Okay. Let’s go.

A List
Here is a list of all of the books, projects, hobbies, businesses, side hustles, etc in my life. I have categorized them, add a brief description, and a link for you.
Please keep in mind that I have the following as well: A full-time job, a spouse, a step-person, and a senior doggo. Everything I accomplish is in 10 to 30-minute intervals over stretches of time. I’m racing no one. I always aim for a minimum viable product and improve upon that as I go.
