Growing up on a farm in southern Minnesota, I never could have imagined celebrating my 75th birthday as an author, speaker, and writing mentor. Yet here I am—living my dream! On October 3, 2025, I stood on stage at the Minneapolis Conference Center, speaking to more than 300 women who were eager to hear my story. What a thrill—and what a moment of full-circle joy!
