My name is Ruby Bayan. I am a freelance writer, and, you guessed it, most of my writing is inspirational. I have been writing motivational pieces as far back as I can remember - for newsletters, magazines, exhibitions, cards, and anthologies.
Oh, I'm not a member of a religious or spiritual group that specializes in motivational material or training. I'm just a regular baby boomer who has faced many challenges and braved many adventures, such as *years* in...
research, information technology sales and marketing, mountaineering, surfing the internet, bowling, gardening, charcoal sketching, tropical fish care and breeding, communications training, home improvement projects, cooking, fitness routines, beaded jewelry, and rainbow-chasing... whew!
Along the way, I gained many friends, visited a good number of places, tasted a variety of food and drink, listened to thousands of stories, read a roomful of books, and watched numerous lives unfold.
And I must agree, life is a journey. Since we're all on the same boat, we might as well enjoy the ride together.
Let me be your seatmate on this leg of the trip...
