About Me


My name is Breanna. I'm 25 years old & am a born and raised Minnesota girl. 

I graduated with my Bachelors of Arts in Nursing from Luther College in December 2012. I currently work as a registered nurse in the Urgent Care.

My other passion is advocating for and ending sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. In December 2013, I took a Victim Assistance Training course and I'm working each and every day to educate myself and others about the horrifying statistics and reality behind these issues.

Country music runs through my blood &, after visiting Nashville, TN for spring break in March 2011, I firmly believe I belong there.

I started Sweet Silver Lining back in the spring of 2009 as an assignment in my Educational Psychology class. Yes, I am a converted Elementary Education major!

My hope is that, in reading Sweet Silver Lining, you find something to smile about each day and look at the silver lining.

I love getting to know my readers! If you have any questions, comments, or just want to say HI, don't be shy! You can get in touch with me at friebr01@luther.edu, leave a comment on my blog, or shout out to me on Twitter (@breannamf).
