Hello. This is Barbara.

And, they say there is no truth on the internet.

That’s me in the giant photo. I want to point out that I did not choose this image’s size; I couldn’t scale it down on Substack.

As I write this, I’m 42 years old, and I’ve done a lot of things. I’ve lived in an RV for a few years, written children’s books, turned my mom into an action hero, taught yoga for over 20 years, and done some photography work here and there.

Professionally, I was a fitness trainer for years, a photographer, did some ghostwriting, worked in IT, and spent some time in operations for small and large businesses.

If you're wondering why I'm giving you a loose account of my personal and professional résumé, it's because I want you to understand that this is not a “niche” blog. This is a personal blog.

If you're familiar with the term diariest, then you'll have a general idea of what you can find here: Random things - sometimes, mundane things.

Oh, if you’re here, because you’ve found one of my projects out in the world or online, and you like it - Thank you. That is at once wonderful and terrifying.
