“A sinner saved by Grace.”
Hi, I'm William — a retired IT Project Manager, church technology volunteer, ghostwriter, and lifelong student of practical healthy living.

My Strengths — My Beauty — My Handsome Heart
I do not look back with regret over what was “not fair,” nor do I look forward with fear of days unknown.
I stand here, fully clothed in the mercy of today.
My beauty is in my heart.
My face carries the marks of time.
My heart carries the marks of grace.
My handsome is my history.
I am not fading.
I am becoming exactly who I was always meant to be.

I stand here, my face washed in the mercy of today.
The years have changed my appearance, but they have also shaped my character. They have taught me compassion, perseverance, forgiveness, gratitude, humility, and faith.
If my face tells the story of my years, my friendships tell the story of my heart.
My wealth is the people who have loved me through every version of myself.
My handsomeness is not measured by the mirror.
It is measured by my history, by the life I’ve lived, by the people I’ve loved, and by the lessons I’ve learned.
My handsome is this present moment.
My handsome is my hope for the future.
If someone sees only an aging face, they have missed the best part of me.
The best part of me has never been my reflection.
My wrinkles are the lines where smiles have lived.
My scars are the places where grace won the battle.
My worth has never been found in my appearance.
It has always been found in my heart.
Somedays life is one foot in front of the other
Somedays life is letting your light shine
Somedays life is a celebration
Somedays life is just an apology
