I am a husband and a father. My family is my everything! My wife is the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and my daughter is just a wonderful image drawn from her mother. 

The vision behind my writing is to inspire.  I use my testimony to bring hope and healing into other peoples lives.  Though I have experienced countless tragedies throughout my life, I am still standing strong and always moving forward.  

I do not live life based off of what I have been through, but rather what I know I can become. 

I love to laugh.  Laughing, alone, has brought me through many tough circumstances.  It allows you to think clearly and have a free mind.  If you can't find time to laugh daily, then you will quickly become mentally constipated, and no one wants that. 

I am a very motivated individual; I tend to find the motivation to accomplish things when I am away from the things I am trying to accomplish. 

I hope that as you read my work, you will find a pathway of connection to your own life and that you will be enlightened.  I hope that my writing will inspire you to keep moving forward in your life, and that you would find the inspiration to become everything you were meant to be. 

Thank you for taking this journey with me,
Derek Palizay
