This book is dedicated to my wife, Ashley, for she is my own purpose. Though it is your aspiration for me that I do something important for the sake of helping the world, it is only for you that I strive to do something worthy of your respect, your admiration, and your love. You said you wanted a zombie book dedicated to you, but it seemed that it could not be more appropriate than to dedicate to you a book about the importance of having purpose in life. For it is you that inspires me to pursue something meaningful, who gives me the courage to do so, and who makes that pursuit worth the effort. You have made the world a better place in your own way, and have pushed me to help make it better in mine. You have wished for a better world, and it is for you that I will work toward creating it. Puff!
