About the blog

Conceived 2020, I Was Just Thinking is a site that covers (and may uncover) the joy derived from “thinking”.

The thoughts expressed are meant to be a stimulus for engaging minds in active, deep thought.

I Was Just Thinking encourages visitors to “come to read, leave to think”. Thoughtful comments are always welcome.

I’m glad you found I Was Just Thinking. I hope we have engaged your mind to move from “park” to “neutral” to “forward”.

Thank you so much for reading!

About Barbiann

Barbara (aka barbiann) has taken an unusual path towards creating “I was Just Thinking”.

She began studying and writing about current events at an early age, continuing towards a journalism career. A move from Wisconsin to Minnesota after marriage necessitated a different career path.

What began as a sales assistant position for a commercial furniture dealership led to sales management, and then to corporate senior management. Finally, after many years, Barbara formed a consulting firm assisting corporations in construction and relocation.

Volunteer opportunities with many organizations over the years made it possible to use writing skills to create Facebook Pages, newsletters, promotional materials, and newspaper articles.

All the roles shared a common denominator---the need for strategic and complex thinking. Barbara has an intrinsic love of people, information, and possibility thinking.

Barbara lives in Minnesota while spending as much time as possible at her “house in the woods” in Northern Wisconsin.
