At age 70, Karen Marienau’s life is distinguished by a circuitous professional path, world-wide adventure travels, strenuous physical challenges, taxing home improvement projects, and deeply loving Relationships—with people, animals, and nature. How does Karen, who gets bored once she has mastered something, and is known to act on impulse, navigate her world? She leaves the Minnesota farm for Mexico, joins the Navy on a medical scholarship, becomes a doctor earning numerous specializations, lives in 7 states, and traverses 7 continents. Karen returns to her Minnesota roots and retires from the military after 20 years of service. She remodels a new home on the northern shores of Lake Superior, continues to Travel, and is learning to live in the present. 

I am most focused now on my well-being—emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual. – Karen Marienau
