Your Regular Dose of Soul

I created Living ROI as a passion, to share my experiences and support others who want to live more authentic, joyful and fulfilling lives. In these blog posts I share my own personal journey in work and life.

what people are saying…

“Barbara curates a wealth of knowledge and brings it together in a simple framework so I can focus on my practice – get to my planning – once a week. Taking time for myself but also being efficient are super important to me and I’m able to do both with Living ROI.”

Jo, Business Owner, Mother of Two

“The constancy of coming back to my goals in the Living ROI Journal each week serves as a tuning fork for how I plan the week ahead. I am able to focus more on the things that really matter to me – and that is life changing.”

Jennifer, Entrepreneur, Mother

“Knowing how to plan or just thinking about time in a structured way allows my friends and me to get things done. When I was in college, we had a list of fun things we wanted to do, but it wasn’t until we made a plan that we were able to actually experience those things. It was just so cool – getting those “someday” items actually done!”

Emerald Smith, Recent College Grad, Daughter of Barbara Fagan

I’m writing this short newsletter on Wednesday night. Tomorrow morning, I have surgery. I didn’t know until today that I would have surgery tomorrow. I’m grateful for that. What good is there to thinking about it a lot in advance?

Do you know anyone who complains about life not working out for them? Are they happy? Not likely! And by contrast, you may know someone for whom life seems to always be going well. Maybe you’re one of them! If you are, others may have said to you, “You’re so lucky!,” but in truth, “luck” is hard-earned.
