Peggy Barons

Peggy Barons grew up on a ranch in Florida riding horses and raising puppies. She is a children’s book author, hospice volunteer, and works with her therapy dog, Winnie the Pooch, an English Bulldog. Peggy has taught Religious Education for more than fifteen years and has led workshops on the importance of finding personal balance and keeping Christmas sane, yet blessed, during the hurried holiday season.

Peggy is also the founder of BODS (Babes Out Doing Stuff), an organization designed to push women outside their comfort zones and gain new experiences. BODS currently has chapters in Boston, Nashville, Los Angeles, and New York City. Peggy lives in Lexington, Massachusetts with her husband, Mark and has four children and two grandchildren.
