About Me
Hi, I'm Barb,
I created Thriving Through it All because I wanted to help others caught off guard by life’s chaos.
I live by the motto that victimhood is something to be overcome, not embraced or celebrated. And the best way to overcome your circumstances is to become self-reliant and prepared.
I would like to help you become more self-reliant during these difficult times.
I am really good at helping others find the information and skills they need to be prepared for the uncertain times we live in. (I used to be a librarian after all.) 😉
Whenever any of my friends or family want information on how to learn a new homesteading skill, preparedness tips, or something as simple as making a sourdough starter; I am the one they usually ask first. I firmly believe it’s never too late to learn something new!
Fun Facts About Me:
- I was raised in Alaska for the first part of my childhood.
- When I was a Resource Librarian I taught emergency preparedness to my community.
- I am a total night owl. I get my best work done late at night.
- My favorite flower of ALL TIME is the Peony
- I love freshly baked bread! The smell, the taste, a good crunchy crust just warms me to my heart.
- I’m always worried about what others think of me, but I'm trying hard to overcome that.
- When I get depressed I pick one small project around the house to get done and that usually cheers me up.
- I converted to Christianity 4 years ago and my life has gotten so much better because of it.
- I love where I live! Listening to the stream from my porch or walking in the forest on my property gives me so much peace.
- My family is my world and I’ll do anything for them
- I love helping others find solutions to their problems. It gives me such joy to know I can help someone better their life and become reliant on God and themselves only.
