People have this to say about Annie and the work she does:

“Nobody notices what Annie Scholl notices, and nobody writes as simply and deeply as she does about daily life. Read her, and your eyes and ears will see and hear the world anew. A wonderful wonderful writer.” – Abigail Thomas, author, “A Three Dog Life,” “Safekeeping,” and more.

“Annie always writes her truth, no matter how painful or unwelcomed.  And she writes it with simplicity and elegance, in a voice so crystal clear and resonant that it is irresistible.” -Jane Anne Staw, author, “Unstuck,” and “Parsnips in the Snow”

“Annie Scholl isn’t afraid to go to dark places and then illuminate them. She writes with an honesty, an authenticity, and a depth of spirit that is both striking and rare. Annie is also a joy to work with because she cares deeply about her craft and always wants to make it the best that it can be. She’s an absolute treasure.” – Katy Koontz, Editor, Unity Magazine

“One of my favorite words is ‘perspicacity.’ And one of my favorite writers is Annie Scholl. It’s no accident. Annie is uniquely gifted with the ability to notice details in a story others might pass over and to invest herself in difficult and careful thinking that makes good writing great. That she does it with heart and honesty and grace, to say nothing of good humor, is part of what makes it such a joy to work with her. I’ve read her work for years, and I find fresh and unexpected insights in every article—one of the many reasons I turn to her time and time again.” – Sarah J. Gardner, Editor,  Radish Magazine

“Annie’s transitions in life have been many, deep and powerful. What you can depend upon is that Annie will always tell you her truth, and she will be as kind as she can about it. I have depended on her insight over the years on many topics. She always led me towards the path that was best, not always easy but the best. It is her humor and kindness that I enjoy the most. It is her authentic self that I respect and love to be around the most. I believe Annie is on the brink of giving the world a profound healing. That is what great writers like Annie do for us. They heal us through their words that translate into our expanded heart feelings. Go Annie Go!!” Kate Gregor, Chicago, Illinois

“Annie’s message caught my attention right from the start because I knew she had experienced the same life truths that I have when I decided it was time to change my life, step out on a limb, and live boldly. Her message inspires others to trust the unseen forces and universal laws. It’s a timely message that the world needs now. Thank you for helping to bring hope and healing to the world.” – Tim Colley, Founder/CEO, The Bird Sings, Kansas City, Missouri

“Wonderful information about connecting to our truth, growth and potential is coming to us in from so many gifted people, both spoken and written. Annie Scholl is one of those people. Her message and meditations guide us to take the step toward what Spirit is urging us to do next so that we can grow and expand.” – Terry Opalek, Founder/Owner, Terry’s Toffee, Chicago, Illinois

“Annie kept me engaged on a heartfelt level with her wit and wisdom. I would not pass up an opportunity to hear her speak knowing that it would be entertaining, insightful and satisfying.” – 
Melody Scott Zindell,

“Annie Scholl is one of the most inspirational people I know. She speaks and writes from the heart—every moment living her truth and encouraging others to do the same. The world is a better place for the grace of her words and her ability to share her spirit with us all.”
– Tricia Yeggy, Grants Manager, Guadalupe Center of Immokalee, Florida

“Annie Scholl is a gifted motivational speaker. She understands how to connect with her audience, to raise their level of empathy, and to connect with the material on a spiritual level. She does so by eloquently speaking on subject matters that may seem on the surface to be a different experience than many would undertake, such as her 60-mile walk for breast cancer. But in that experience, she finds the commonality, analogies, and lessons to which we all can relate. She has a style that weaves and dances through the material to make the story come alive. She understands how to tell a story, how to use humor, and how to touch the hearts and minds of her audience to meet their need for reflection, connection and spirituality.” – Delise Stone,
 Curriculum Writer/Consultant, Hartford, Wisconsin

“Annie Scholl’s voice pours into your heart like a close friend but even more like your favorite poet or singer with that perfect blend of knowledge, humility and profundity. She shares her experience with stories and humor that inspire us to extend ourselves in ways that we might not have felt possible. Through smiles and tears, life and death, she sends us away ready to raise ourselves up to meet our spiritual ideals. We have it within ourselves, all of us individually.” – Nicole Eustice, Instructor, University of Oregon

“Annie has a wonderful gift as a speaker, sharing a nice blend of humor, reflection, and message.”
