Barbara Casey

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.
