Barbara’s fourth book, Someday is Now, sends the message to stop procrastinating and live in the “now” of life. It discusses the events of September 11, 2001 and how some people did not get the chance to follow through on things they put off being completed “someday.” It sends the message not to put off for tomorrow what can be accomplished today, since “tomorrow” is not promised to us.
