Barbara Casey

INSPIRATIONAL WRITER AND ZAZZLE DESIGNER

My name is Barbara Casey. In June 2015, I turned 70 (next milestone birthday is June of 2025). I didn’t want to be an “elderly” seventy-year-old, so I’ve been challenging myself over the years to keep up with new trends, thought-provoking ideas and broader perspectives.

I’ve documented some of this in my review of Chris Guillebeau’s book The Happiness of Pursuit.

Over the past thirty years, I’ve been a tutorial writer with 3 Kindle books and many online how-to articles. Since 2001, I’ve curated and written resources for spiritual entrepreneurs – on Squidoo, HubPages and multiple blogs. Between 1995 and 2002 I published 5 editions of The Metaphysical and Holistic Florida Directory, wrote a marketing newsletter from 2003 to 2009 and conducted numerous teleclasses that were converted to PDF e-books.

I have two Zazzle print on demand shops to augment Social Security, but my main love is writing, reading, and reviewing really good books. So I’ve gathered all my writings from their various temporary homes and herded them back to my own site, under my own banner.

I hope you find something of value during your browsing adventures.

Cheers,
Barbara Casey

My Story

Growing up, I was always fascinated by the power of words. Whether it was the way a simple phrase could evoke deep emotions or how a story could transport me to another world, I found solace in the pages of books. Writing became my sanctuary, a place where I could explore my thoughts and feelings, crafting tales that reflected the world around me and the one within. However, the journey to becoming a writer was far from easy. I faced countless rejections, moments of self-doubt, and the ever-present fear of not being good enough. Yet, each setback only fueled my determination to succeed.

I poured my heart into every manuscript, learning and growing with each word I wrote. Eventually, my persistence paid off, and my first novel was published. The overwhelming response from readers confirmed that I was on the right path. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my stories with a global audience, each book a new chapter in my journey as a writer. Through it all, I’ve remained committed to creating authentic and meaningful work, drawing inspiration from my own experiences and the world around me. Writing is more than just a profession to me; it’s a calling, a way to connect with others and leave a lasting impact on the world. My story is still being written, and I can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes me.
