About Linda Sorenson

At age 10, Linda wrote her first books, The Mischievous Little Goat and The Polka-Dot Cow, on yellow newsprint, folded over, and illustrated with crayons. She’s been writing ever since—for business, education, entertainment, and just for fun. (See full publication list in resume.)

Linda has been as a writer, editor, publisher, speaker, performer, global event planner, photographer, publicist, camp/retreat leader, and dreamer of unique ways to make a difference. She has led action-packed workshops and camps on creativity, nature, wellness, faith, and global awareness. She brings zest, humor, vivid stories, and down-to-earth fun to all she offers.

A life-long curiosity about the world links Linda with kindred spirits from many lands. Global projects, including Peace Child and NOW have allowed her to work with talented artists and entertainers from many countries—fueling her passion to ignite, delight, and unite.

Serendipity often dropped Linda into history’s lap:

• The hope of glasnost was experienced first-hand in Moscow, Kiev, St. Petersburg, and Tbilisi with Peace Child pals and the Stas Namin Band. Glimpses from a train window of fairy tale wooden dachas in glistening moonlit snow linger in her memory today.
• She witnessed the Berlin Wall opening -- watching in awe as a young German furiously chiseled off pieces, despite a bloodied thumb. A colorful slice flew into her hands and graces her desk as a testament to the power of persistence!
• Linda and two friends were rescued by a family from Kosovo when their Vienna-bound train suddenly halted in a Croatian field on May Day. Adem, the Dylan-loving son guided them into Italy, and later wrote Linda postcards from pre-war Sarajevo, inviting her to join him at their Winter Olympics.

Linda revels in natural majesties—Minnesota’s North Shore and Canadian Rockies to Europe’s compact beauty. Working at a Glacier National Park area lodge brought her up close and personal with mountain goats, elk, rams, and even a grizzly on the mountain trails.
Her friendship with the late, revered Montana wildlife photographer Danny On sealed the flatlander’s love of the high country forever, and leads her to advocate artfully linking people to the planet’s precious places and rich cultures.

Linda lives in White Bear Lake, MN, a Twin Cities suburb, the front yard hosting on-going potlucks for deer, wild turkeys, and cardinals. Surrounded by family and critter pals Murphy and Baxter, she’s a loving aunt to Ryan (king of “lily-pad-hat” stories) and Kelly.

Linda is always keen to help others dream big, take creative risks, and also reach out warm hands in loving service as they follow cherished dreams.
