Inspiring! BIG Dreamer! Upbeat!
Traveller on a Dime and Dream.
” Make your dreams come true regardless of your age or income. “
Barb’s niche is pursuing her love of writing, giving inspiring speeches and travelling. In 2002 she published her bio/self-growth book Lessons From the Potholes of Life. In it she tells 26 stories of the times she fell in the potholes of life and the diamond lessons she learned. Each chapter is followed by an exercise for discerning readers.
That was so exciting that she produced several chap books …first one on good health, the second on happy marriage, a perpetual calendar, followed by several mini bios for friends.
Telling the story of their 2003 RV trip across Canada, she self-published RV Canada On A Dime And A Dream in 2007. It’s a story based on her and Dave’s courageous working holiday coast to coast in an old motorhome loaded with Dave’s Driftwood, books, and blackberry sauce. It has taken the RV world by storm. Affectionately known as the Geriatric Gypsies, they have encouraged many who are getting older or without adequate income to see more of this great country.
“Challenge is the elixir of youth.” James Gordon
The Rees’s took the book along with 195 jars of blackberries and driftwood on a 19,962 km odyssey to Newfoundland and back in 2007. All this has led to her being a hit at several RV shows, besides writing articles for RV Times and Whispering Winds magazines. Barb is currently working on the sequel to the first RV book to launch at the Chilliwack Humdinger RV Show & Sale in March 2009, then go on a Yukon-NWT book tour.
