About The Book
My Nothing Is Someone Else’s Everything is a powerful, faith-centered keynote that reframes how we understand impact, generosity, and responsibility. Through the lens of the Seven Motifs, ancient, repeating patterns found in Scripture and lived human experience, this talk shows how small, often overlooked actions can create lasting change. Rather than focusing on grand gestures, the book invites audiences to recognize their own strengths, move first toward need, speak life, create safe spaces, tend what is breaking, and live with integrity across all areas of life. Blending story, reflection, and practical wisdom, this book leaves participants not with pressure to do more, but with clarity to notice the “nothing” they already hold and the confidence to trust God to use it as someone else’s everything.
Give what comes naturally. God will do the rest.
What if the smallest thing you have to offer could change someone’s life?
In My Nothing Is Someone Else’s Everything, Dr. Barb Rembiesa invites readers to rethink generosity—not as grand gestures or deep sacrifice, but as everyday actions already within reach. Drawing from real-life stories, faith-centered reflection, and practical wisdom, this book reveals how what feels like “nothing” to us—time, a connection, a kind word, a small financial choice—can become everything to someone else.
With warmth, clarity, and quiet conviction, Dr. Barb shows how lives are transformed through simple acts: making a phone call, offering a meal, sharing knowledge, introducing two people, listening without fixing. These moments don’t require wealth, influence, or perfection—only awareness and willingness. Across three core areas—finances, time, and networking—My Nothing Is Someone Else’s Everything empowers readers to see their daily lives as opportunities for meaningful impact.
This is not a book about guilt or obligation. It is an invitation to live more intentionally, to notice what you already carry, and to give from a place of love rather than excess. When generosity becomes a mindset instead of a transaction, purpose follows—and so does joy.
Readers will discover how to:
What you think is small may be exactly what someone else is praying for.

Raves and Reviews
My Nothing Is Someone Else’s Everything is a concept that has changed my life. I have lived in plenty, and I have lived in need. I have been a giver, and I have received help in my time of need. In both times, I have seen the impact of the scriptures where the Bible says, “…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7 KJV). We all go through seasons in life when we are blessed to plant seeds, that in due time bring a harvest (2 Corinthians 9:10). The concept of giving and taking is what makes this world a better place. Luke 6:38 KJV, says “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”. As the title of this amazing book reminds us, “My Nothing Is Someone Else’s Everything” because little is much when God is in it. Thank you, Dr. Barb for allowing me to experience this firsthand as you have been the hands and feet of Jesus to me and my family many times.

Dr. Barb’s nothing was simply everything to me when I needed it most. She has personally touched my life in ways she will never know not only through our work relationship, but also in my personal life in more than one rough time along my life’s path.
She listened when I needed to be heard. She provided guidance when I needed some support. She was there when I needed someone to be present. She gave me a genuine and heartfelt hug when I needed an embrace and a few moments of comfort.
Every one of those “nothings” she shared were everything to me…She didn’t just write about it In, My Nothing is Someone Else’s Everything, she LIVES it every single day.
—R.J. Everitt, SAM Program Administrator & 25+ year ITAM Professional
