Here's Barb's Bio:

Hello to all of you,

Thank you Pauline and John for all you do and for this forum.
I am thrilled to have received the honor of POTW! How exciting. Thank you all who voted for me.

I feel that AdlandPro is one of the very best communities on
the internet. I have been a member here since April 9, 2004.
I have met many wonderful people through this community.

To tell you a little about myself I am a Success Coach. I help
people to achieve better health naturally both physically and
emotionally and I help people to develop a growing monthly
income from home. It is a lot of fun. I love helping people to
make their dreams come true. Life is God's gift to us and
what we do with it is our gift to God.

I was born in Alaska. My dad was in the Air Force. We then
moved back to LeRoy, Illinois where my parents were from.
My parents were highschool sweethearts. When I was 5 we
moved to New Berlin, WI just outside of Milwaukee and then
a number of years later moved to the area I currently live in
which is about 40 minutes west of St. Louis, MO. I am married
to my bestfriend. We have been married just over two years.

I love this area. I have visited many other areas but simply
love this area. If you have never visited Missouri I really
encourage you to. There is a lot to see and do.

My dad passed away when I was 25 years old. He was just
47 and had never been sick a day in his life. He was diagnosed
with Lymphoma and passed away just four months after this.
This was really the beginning of my passion for wellness. I was
married in my twenties and my husband committed suicide. These two events were the two hardest things I have had to go through. My faith in God and my friends and family were what have always gotten me through the valleys in life. Also the loss of people close to me has made me appreciate the gift of life and to never take people for granted and to live each day to its fullest. I have a philosophy of first day/last day. Each day when I wake up I pretend that this is the very first day of my life. I work hard to not let what has happened in the past weigh me down with regrets. I also have a sense of urgency. We don't know how much time we have and what if this is the last day? So I try to do all I can with each and every day.

I am here to help anyone in any way that I can. If I am not yet a friend of yours feel free to ask me to become one. Again thank you Pauline and John. You both are so awesome!
