About the Book
Lines to Draw Upon During Times of Change
When Rick's life begins to unravel, he encounters a mysterious guide- with a canvas, a question, and a challenge he didn't see coming. What follows is a journey into the unexpected-where the simplest of shapes, a line, becomes a path to rediscover purpose, identity, and the power to turn change into choice. The Line Maker is a modern parable for anyone standing at a crossroads- whether you're leading yourself or others through a period of change. With vivid storytelling and unforgettable metaphors, it invites you to reflect, reframe, and redesign the life you're creating-one line at a time. Along the way, you'll encounter the lines that define every masterpiece- lines of intention, interpretation, and impact, each with the power to transform. If you're ready to stop drifting and start designing, this story offers more than insight. It offers a new way to live, lead and love-with intention, no excuses.
