    Come gaze into the life and simplistic beauty of one individual who understands that life for him, is truly about giving back. Barry is the type of man who enjoys being helpful and displaying compassion to his fellow human beings, as he navigates through life. Barry is able to realize at his young age, just how important it is to have true friends and to enable others to dream and to embrace the world around them.
    Barry, is a man who has had to deal with a lot of pain in his young life; both physically and emotionally. This story is about how he relates to his pain and rises above it. Barry chooses to deliver love rather than hate to others. He chooses to accept his own faults and limitations and stay focused on being a small impact of positivity and kindness to other people that he meets.
    For Barry, actions speak louder than words. He goes about each day determined not to let the physical pain he experiences in his daily life, dictate how he interacts with the people in this world.
    This story will help to inspire the reader about how strong the human condition can be and how enduring the human soul is.
    So come join Barry Lambert on his one-man crusade and in his understanding that attitude is one thing in life that cannot be taken from him. The attitude to look towards the silver lining in life, to appreciate the good in each day, to experience a fulfilling life and keep his principles along the way.
    This world can definitely benefit from more compassion, further love and an overflowing amount of kindness. The more Barry’s in this world the better. This a must read and one that will engage, entertain and leave a lasting impression on the reader.

    *******

    Barry Lambert was a most compassionate soul. Living in a small trailer park outside the city of Las Cruces, New Mexico. His days were spent working at a small gas station where he served as a cashier thirty hours a week.

    His smile was always so bright and joyful, as if he was filled with a secret valium gas inside his being. Although, the real reason for Barry's happiness came in helping others. Barry dressed simple, usually wearing blue jeans, t-shirts, the basic wear. He always had on an old gray ball cap with a solid stitched heart upon it, in the color red. Barry really liked the flannel look. He had 3 different flannel jackets to select from and to wear in the cooler months in New Mexico. His hair was dark brown and wavy, not too long, nor not short either. He had a few inches of it and enjoyed the fact that he still had hair at all. Barry was 37 years of age.

    Barry was the type to help all those in need to the best of his abilities. Barry was involved in a rather bad accident when he was younger. While walking home one evening in the summer, a car struck Barry from behind throwing his body into a dry dusty ditch. The dust settled and Barry laid there all-night moaning for help. By early morning a farmer from a nearby pistachio orchard came to his rescue.

    Barry began each day rather similar to the day before. To most that would be rather dull, mundane or boring; yet to Barry it was simply life, his life. Barry would often smile to himself as he dressed for the day. Getting dressed after having a broken back, along with broken bones in his arms and right leg from the accident, made for a challenge. A challenge in which Barry rose above each day. Barry’s motto in life was; help those in need and do what you can to make others smile. Barry never thought of himself as a victim. He realized through his whole ordeal of being injured that he could succumb to negativity; or he could embrace each moment in life and see where it took him. Barry knew that attitude was important. Maintaining a positive attitude in life, would allow Barry to at least have a better chance of enjoying his life and finding fulfillment in it.

    Barry truly enjoyed filling people’s day with laughter and joy. His thoughtful acts throughout the day gave a satisfaction that little else in the day could bring Barry. Walking, getting dressed, preparing a meal, even standing to wait on the next customer were rather painful for Barry;
