![]() An Author, Speaker, and Trainer.
Here is what a few of Anna's past audiences had to say.
Anna is willing to share her own experiences and/or mistakes to help others. I enjoyed Growing up Amish entirely! When I started reading I couldn’t stop until I got to the end of the book. I am looking forward to her next book for more details about her unbelievable journey. Anna has so much for you to learn from so I would suggest you get your hands on everything that Anna allows you.

“Anna Dee Olson is a dynamic, life affirming, and professional speaker with a deep, solid, and personal understanding of this fascinating topic. I was engaged as she spoke and gained much from it. She is entertaining, touching, and engaging. She guides her audiences to an expanded awareness of the Amish. I first read about her and her book Growing Up Amish in the media so was pleased to be in a position of listening to her presentation. I loved listening to her speak about her amazing journey of hope, family, and love. I highly recommend her as a speaker for all types of audiences.”

![]() Simplify your Life the Amish Way!The Amish are a sect of people that live in communities. Basically if you see one Amish person you can bet there are more close by. The Amish population is growing all the time. My best estimate as of December 2007 is somewhere around 300,000 through out America and Canada.
What is it that we can learn from the simple lifestyle the Amish live every day? ![]() How Does your Amish Family Celebrate Christmas?The holiday season was pretty laid back while I was still Amish. We did not have any tree, decorations, parties to go to, lots of shopping, or tons of presents. I remember walking past the neighbors house and seeing the glistening lights on the tree in the window and stare at it with amazement. It was so beautiful to see. ![]() The Best of Both Cultures: Amish Vs Non-amishFor the past 15 years I have lived "The Best of Both Cultures"
The first 24 years of my life I lived in the Amish culture and then I left my Amish heritage behind to live in the non-Amish world. I prepared for my leaving for 3 years prior to actually going so some might say it was not as much of a culture shock. But I am here to tell you.....yes it was. ![]() Finding your PassionWow... this is absolutely amazing. I just bought this new computer program. It is almost unbelievable that it is possible for this to happen, but I am speaking to my computer and it is typing it out in front of my eyes. I guess what is so amazing to me is that I have come as far as I have with my knowledge of computers typing and now using the software that is available for computers. ![]() Amish Protesting My Writings..This past week my family and I traveled to what I call hometown. Our reason for going was to of course visit my parents but also to attend a friend's wedding. Because I knew we were going for this wedding I had arranged to offer an informational speech about my book and life Growing Up Amish at the local library. ![]() Author & Expert on Amish Culture Speaks at New York Mills Cultural Center67 people showed up at the New York Mills Cultural Center to hear Anna Dee Olson speak about her life growing up in the Amish culture. This was almost triple the number of people that was originally expected. ![]() Does Extra Body Weight Define MeGrowing up Amish was not easy and at times it was easier to eat than to deal with my emotions. ![]() Obedience to God or Man?Some of the discipline I received I felt was very unnecessary; just a way for my parents to relieve their frustrations by inflicting pain upon the children. Why not just explain to me what I did wrong and why it was wrong?
