Praise for SHE
“SHE is a beautiful tribute and, above all, a celebration of the incredible
power of women. I was moved and inspired by this gorgeously illustrated
book of qualities. In today’s busy world, it is good to read reminders of
what those who came before us have done to make this a better world.
The voices of these remarkable women sing off the page. Here’s to
great women!”
—June Cotner,
author of Graces and Garden Blessings
“I am quite taken with this beautiful book. SHE is a stunning capture of
who we are as women sprinkled with simple ideas to grow deeper into
our capacities. Intrigued by every aspect of the feminine, I ‘found myself’
on every page! SHE is a gift I will bestow on all my friends!”
—Lisa Venable,
author of Messages from Love
“Mary Anne has the ability to communicate true wisdom, practical
motivation, and fun in a simple yet profound way. This is her true genius.”
—Connie Fails
“Liz Kalloch’s work is a refl ection of her soul—extraordinarily beautiful.
She captures details and wonder that others miss, plus she does it with
a grace that makes her work even more special.”
—Jolie Guillebeau,
painter and storyteller

“Mary Anne Radmacher exudes and lives her message every day. She is
one of the most authentic, inspiring, and alive women I know. Her art and
writing are extensions of her glowing spirit, and a direct transmission.”
—Jennifer Louden,
author of The Life Organizer and The Woman’s Comfort Book
“Mary Anne Radmacher is one-of-a-kind. Her ability to convey ideas in
a very engaging way is exceptional, and her passion for life is amazing.
She’s not only one of my favorite authors, she’s also one of my favorite
people.”
—Mac Anderson,
founder of Successories and CEO of Simple Truths
“Mary Anne and Liz have created an original and beautiful book for
women that will become a true classic.... Experience wonderment as you
read through the gifts of women that they highlight on these lovely pages.
SHE is a ticket to self-love, acceptance, and fulfillment for women—an
engaging antidote to fear and lack of confidence...like a glorious massage
for the soul.”
—Gail McMeekin,
author of The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women
“Liz has a way of moving through the world with an open heart that
makes her a joy to be around. She is a kindred spirit who deeply listens
and teaches me to trust my creative intuition...she wants to understand
who you are and enhance the stories you are sharing with her creative
toolbox full of colors, patterns, and wisdom.”
—Liz Lamoreux,
author of Inner Excavation
SHE Book(FINAL).indd 2 9/9/13 8:21 PM
“‘My presence is proof of my value and that is always enough,’ writes
Mary Anne Radmacher in the preface of SHE; and this beautiful book,
with its whimsical art and lyrical prose, is more than enough. In it,
authors Radmacher and Kalloch remind us clearly and beautifully that
our magnificence is in our kindness, creativity, and intelligence. It is
in our willingness to live openly. SHE is just the book that can inspire
women everywhere to tap into that, their true nature.”
—Polly Campbell,
author of Imperfect Spirituality
“Not only are Liz Kalloch’s artful constructions beautiful, she is a gorgeous
person inside and out. I believe her calm and gentle spirit and her patient
attention to detail most certainly have an influence on her work. When Liz
looks out at the world, I imagine her view is like a kaleidoscope, an ever-
changing landscape of color and pattern and symmetry—an ornamental
template that influences her work and her life.”
—Amy Williamson,
owner and teacher at Brave Girls Art
“Mary Anne Radmacher generously brings her stories and experiences
to life on the page. Her words are simple and easy to grasp, woven
together in an easy to understand way.”
—Beth Miller,
author of The Woman’s Book of Resilience
“Few authors are as original, insightful, and multi-talented as Mary Anne
Radmacher. In SHE, her words sing and Liz Kalloch’s art soars...lifting
your heart, mind, and soul simultaneously. Beautiful, just beautiful!”
—BJ Gallagher,
author of It’s Never Too Late to Be What You Might Have Been
SHE Book(FINAL).indd 3 9/9/13 8:21 PM
“Liz has that magical combination of being highly creative and deeply
knowledgeable. She is over and beyond capable of any design project you
engage her in. And she is one of these passionate people who design late
at night on and off the computer in equal measure. She’s the real thing.
She executes professionally and creatively and is simply a delight to
work with.”
—Niya Sisk,
Creative Director at Ritual Labs
“Liz Kalloch is so much more than a designer to me. Her collaboration
is more expansive than mock-ups or layouts—she catches my dreams
and helps me imagine and shape them into reality. Her expertise in
publishing, packaging, and product development—on top of her gifted
eye and deep intuition—converge, and I have fi ve advisers in one.”
—Jen Lee,
storyteller and fi lmmaker at Jen Lee Productions
“Mary Anne is simply one of the most eclectic, creative, and inspiring
people I am fortunate to know. She is every person’s greatest mirror for
fi nding one’s own gifts, talents, and resources. I cannot help but smile
just thinking of her...”
—Dr. Craig Weiner, DC
