Ms. Hornsby believes that I Am WHOLE is a gift to the giver as well as the receiver, entrenched in love, hope and grace. She has participated in mentorship on both sides, and says mentoring has offered her the difference between success and failure; positive and negative as well as a simple stop or go in her life. "My mentors, such as my family, business associates, a few good friends, military leaders, and have inspired me and reset my compass to guided me through various situations. Most importantly, God, who is the center of my life, has directed my path in all aspects, especially as a mentor. I value and appreciate my mentor, their contributions and caring have made me a healthier, more improved and a further advanced Nancy R. Hornsby."

"I’ve had several mentors in my life who have developed my thinking, influenced my behavior and reminded me that my actions will last longer than me, so I should always move with grace. My first mentor was my mother, who I lost when I was a teenager. However, her wisdom, spirituality, strength, resiliency and the ability to adapt and overcome was amazing. Her essence yet navigates my decision-making, keeps my inner person centered while being a constant reminder to NEVER give up."
