No stranger to suffering herself, Barbara's experiences have equipped her with the credentials to help others work through their own suffering. In spite of her difficulties, Barbara has learned that while pain is inevitable to us all, we can choose to pick the flowers instead of the weeds.

Barbara will teach you how to release that bubble of joy within you?to claim God's promise to "fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy." ?Job 8:21 (TLB)

Ratings and reviews

The original book is called "Stick A Geranium in Your Cranium." Barbara is the only author who can take a horrendous, grieving situation and turn a frown upside down without the reader even realizing what just happened. She definitely has a gift from God. You can probably find her books in used form a lot cheaper (on Amazon & other websites that sell used books). Love this woman, and I have never met her.
