Beschreibung

What is the path to finding happiness, love, and fulfillment? For Nancy Rivard, the founder of the internationally acclaimed non-profit organization Airline Ambassadors International and the recipient of multiple international awards, it is staying true to one's life purpose and bringing love into action. When her father unexpectedly passes away, a 28-year Nancy starts questioning everything in her life, including climbing the corporate ladder at American Airlines. The pledge she made at the tender age of 11, to contribute to the awakening of humanity, echoes with even greater intensity within her heart. Armed with unwavering faith, unbridled passion, and immense courage, she fearlessly sets out on a solitary mission to revolutionize the travel industry, the largest in the world, with the ultimate goal of helping individuals worldwide. In doing so, she also finds true love and marries her soul mate. This captivating memoir invites you on an extraordinary journey of love that unfolds across decades and continents, traversing war-torn Bosnia in the 90s, earthquake-ravaged Haiti in 2010, hurricane-stricken New Orleans, and poverty-stricken El Salvador. In addition, you will meet some of the most brilliant and influential individuals of our time, including Nelson Mandela and former president Mikael Gorbachev. Nancy's unwavering commitment and fearlessness in the face of adversity lead her to the profound revelation that women are not powerless, but rather possess a sacred mission to bring about peace and harmony in our world. Loneliness, sacrifice, betrayal, temptation, danger, and loss serve as catalysts for her personal growth, transforming her from a naïve and lost young woman into the influential global role model she is today. Nancy Rivard's journey is your journey. It embodies the fundamental cycle that each individual must undertake in their pursuit of self-realization, embracing their genuine self, and recognizing love as an integral part of their being. It will inspire you to follow the calling of your heart, and ultimately ask yourself the essential question: "How can I serve?"
