Don't Retire Get Inspired Dick Nogaj

Ever dreamed of making a difference, but weren’t sure where to start? Are you approaching retirement with a feeling of “what’s next”? Since childhood, Dick Nogaj harbored a secret dream to make the world a better place—but it wasn’t until he met his soulmate and about to retire from a successful career that he launched into the most meaningful work of his life. And just when he thought his work was nearing completion, a chance encounter with a hitchhiker took his journey in a surprising and unexpected new direction.

In Don’t Retire, Get Inspired, Dick Nogaj (“no-jay”) describes the challenges he and his wife, Florence, faced both as a loving, committed couple, and as partners in their work. His honest, thoughtful account of the struggles of creating and running four not-for-profit organizations in both well-off and financially impoverished communities gives readers an inside look of how dreams become action, how to overcome setbacks, and how everyday people who share a desire to improve the world can make a difference—and the amazing relationships that develop as a result.

Dick’s compelling memoir of their work together and how it impacted and enhanced their marriage, their faith in God, and their lives will inspire, motivate, and touch you—and have you wondering if there really are “angels” out there that guide us. In addition to being a great read, this insightful book may change how you look at your world—and encourage you to make your own mark on it.
