What people are saying about ANNA’s Spring issue “Inspire”

Posted on May 3rd, 2012 by ANNA Magazine

Compliments for our Spring issue “Inspire” have been flooding into our inboxes at ANNA Magazine, we wanted to share just a few.

Hi ladies,

Absolutely love the new issue!  Thank you for the beautiful feature of our book.  We’re so pleased!  Really appreciate the incredible exposure. Hope you’re doing well!

Warmly,

Laura & Susan, Founders Golden Girl Finance

I arrived at my office at 6:15 this morning, saw Anna on my desk, and carefully turned each page, until finally reaching page 68.  Our first venture into serious print…a success!! Three and a half hours later, with the initial flurry of the day subsiding…phone message dealt with, email messages returned, staff questions answered, I read “What I have Learned” and I can only take a deep breath trying to connect with the tragedies of life experienced by so many people.  I met Terry at Elite a few months ago. We don’t talk much, we don’t share our lives, but I can tell he is a special person, fighting through what was dealt to him, not complaining, just inspiring. And Mari, not really knowing you, but now understanding a bit more about you, reading as you expose your private life. Delighted to be part of an inspirational edition.

Have a great day.

Hi Mari,

Thanks for sending me issue 22!  The magazine looks great – and I’m sure Belinda would really appreciate your letter (your honesty is admirable)! I’m looking forward to trying the recipes.

The ANNA Blog

Founder and Creative Director, Mari Loewen, after much soul searching, found herself at the age of 40, realizing the lifetime of sketches and ideas could be something more. The idea of a magazine seemed daunting and exciting all at the same time, and after much brainstorming, a concept presented itself. A unique marriage of food and inspiration, with simple beautiful recipes, exceptional design, beautiful photography and luxurious paper.

As much of the magazine’s inspiration came from Mari’s own family traditions, it was named ANNA, after her Mother. As a frugal homemaker, she used only fresh local ingredients and took the time to make things special. Long before organic became fashionable, Mari was privileged to enjoy this way of life. Although named after her Mother, her father's entrepreneurial spirit that taught her anything is possible. Today, ANNA Magazine sells throughout North America.
