Suzanne Beecher

I did not go to college, but I have 1 1/2 years of auto mechanics in a trade school. Brakes jobs are my specialty. I've owned a restaurant. I founded and published a business magazine, "In Business" in Madison, Wisconsin. The magazine is still being published.

In my mind, some of my greatest achievements are: a nonprofit program, "Meals For Madison, that I founded to feed the homeless in Madison; homeschooling our youngest son, from fourth grade through high school; and still being best friends and in love with my husband after 27 years.

I write a daily column, (290,000 people read with me online every day), I design book clubs for publishers, booksellers and libraries across the country. And I speak to groups every chance I get because I love to tell a great story.

When I tell people about my life, listing all the things I have done and the troubles I have seen, they are amazed. I have four children, two grandchildren and a wonderful husband who said he married me because he knew his life would never be dull. I don't intend to let him down. I'm on the ride of my life.

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.--Suzanne
