Uncaging Dreams ‘Celebrate Women’ Speaker: Living Life To The Fullest Takes Courage Melanie Brown, a nurse turned motivational speaker and author, told an audience at the 10th annual Celebrate Women event held on Thursday, April 24th that there are a couple of absolutely key dates in their lives. “The two most important days in your life are the day you’re born and the day we find out why,” Brown said. Brown was the keynote speaker for this year’s event — presented by the Press & Dakotan’s Her Voice Magazine, HyVee, First Dakota National Bank and the Yankton Medical Clinic. It also featured a vendor fair, a dinner and the speaking event. This year’s theme was “Ignite the Power Within.” Brown said that she loves to see the impact that events such as this can have on attendees. “Events like this are really a defining moment in life for some people,” she said. “They come to enjoy and hear a message, and if there’s something in the message that hits their heart and soul, it might be Offering Hospice and Palliative Care by a team of professionals in your home setting, whether it be your private home, or a long term care facility, where ever you call HOME!
