introducing
Barb & Mary
Our friendship started almost 30 years ago at a wellness workshop. Through inspiring conversations, a shared curiosity about life’s big questions, joyous laughter, and endless cups of tea, our connection flourished.
Even though we currently live 500 miles apart, our conversations are as thought-provoking as ever! We’ve discovered that sharing insights and experiences feeds our souls. From an initial spark of wonder, to our expanding awareness of the layers of the human experience ~ mind, body, spirit ~ we continue to explore ideas and tools for creating our best lives from the inside out.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved questions and conversations that explore life’s mysteries. I am curious about who we are, why we are here, and how we can create lives full of meaning and joy. In my quest I have settled on a foundational belief that we are simply spiritual beings having a human experience and the possibilities for our growth and fulfillment are endless!
Having long enjoyed the intersection of science and spirituality, I hold a Master’s Degree in Holistic Health Studies. I have also studied energy work, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, yoga and various spiritual philosophies. So from quantum physics to ancient traditions, I’ve discovered there are many fascinating paths to navigate this thing called life and discussing those ideas with others truly feeds my soul.
I believe we are all seekers, looking for meaning in the world around us. If this resonates with you, I look forward to hearing what you wonder about … what experiences and insights you have uncovered… what brings you delight, joy, and satisfaction. I hope you’ll join the conversation so we can share our collective discoveries.
Oh, the possibilities!

Fortunate to be born with the gifts of laughter, creativity and a sense of adventure, I continue to expand life experiences through my mind, body and spirit. From courageously cooking a new culinary dish to learning how to play the ukulele to figuring out film production & pickleball, I could be a “poster child” as an ever seeking student of life.
In the career spectrum, I was an educator of bright gifted elementary children for over thirty years. With a master’s degree in that field, I presented at the local, state and national levels on different topics including higher order & creative thinking, film production and gifted education among other areas. Consistently designing in-depth curriculum for my students, I nurtured a passion for learning outside of the box on a vast array of topics. There was always something new on the horizon to learn. I felt like there was just as much for me to learn from my students as they could learn from my class and me. When I retired from teaching, I re-oriented my life in new directions for growth and inspiration.
So, during the past few years, because I love to wonder (and wander), traveling to incredible places on our planet has opened new experiences while enhancing my life. Sharing many of those journeys with my husband, daughters and five grandchildren has provided new perspectives, insights and loads of laughter. I treasure hearing stories from those I meet, marveling at seeing vast landscapes and delighting my tastebuds with cultural cuisine. I am grateful and humbled by awesome connections in our world.
