Welcome to Stray Thoughts with Barbie—where my mind wanders, my stories spill, and no topic is off-limits. You’ll get random life tales, opinions served with a side of fact (and maybe a dash of “trust me, I know this”), and absolutely zero chronological order—because I’m 53, Gen X, and sometimes dates are just… suggestions.

I’ve scrubbed toilets, rocked diamonds, and lived every shade in between. I’ve had some sky-high days and some crash-and-burn ones too, but I bounce back fast and keep my vibe positive—even when life’s hiccups look like someone’s trying to take me for a ride.

You’ll hear about my dogs (a.k.a. the 5 o’clock pack) and the nonprofit that owns my heart. It’s my passion, my purpose, and the wild adventure I’m building mostly on my own. So buckle up: it’s my opinions, my lessons, my life—unfiltered, a little sassy, and always animal-approved.
