All About Barb!

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Barb. Come in. Sit. Stay awhile!

I am a divorced, 50-something Christian woman. I have been Self Employed since 1987 (I have a great boss!). I live in The Deep South, GA, United States. I am owned by two absolutely fabulous gray kitties. My three sisters are my very best friends. I asked my parents to move in with me and my Boys when I sold my first business and moved to Georgia in 2006.

I have suffered from Panic Disorder most of my life. Amazingly enough, this has mostly been absent from my life since my divorce in 1994! Go figure!

There's a little of everything in my family: lots of love, sprinkled with a little Panic Disorder, OCD, Autism and Bipolar Disorder... Oh, no... it is never dull!

I am an amateur photographer and poet. I love pairing my photography with my Haiku. I am trying to contain the urge to buy a new camera!

Did you know?

Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.

What can you do to stop the suffering?

Spay and neuter your pet! In addition to saving lives, spaying and neutering can also drastically improve your pet's health and life expectancy. The idea that pets become fat or lazy when they are spayed or neutered is a myth. Sterilized pets lead healthier, longer lives. Spaying a female eliminates the possibility of uterine and ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer. Neutering a male reduces the risk of both prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Neutering also will make your pet more affectionate and less likely to roam, get in fights, or become lost.
