This is dedicated to Somebody, a very special person in life who helped me understand that I am who I am today because of others who have been present for me, as well as those I have been able to be present for in their time of need. They inspired me to become Somebody who reaches others through my lifelong passion for creating visual art—both painting and drawing—as well as through writing and sharing life experiences, fueled by my life of missions and my love for people. That Somebody may have even been you at one time, helping a stranger in need, and Somebody you never knew remembered your reaching out.

You will find my life stories intermingled with those of others: a mere glimpse into our own lives, rich with Faith, Hope, and Love. These stories show that, through our daily trials and tribulations, victory is won in the spirit of mankind and not in the rat race we all eagerly join daily—a race whose prize is forgotten through time.

You will not find empty, overused, or overworked platitudes from over-energized life coaches of cliches here. Instead, you will find a friend who listens, and peace in being and becoming Somebody for yourself—and soon, for those God has placed in your path along the way.

May God’s grace and love shine as the light guiding you on your journey of being and becoming Somebody for Somebody.

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path
