About LuAnn Marie

LuAnn Marie Gardner is an affiliate with TulaXii Paper Co., formerly known as Tulaxii, where she promotes personalized planners and journals designed to support organization and balance in everyday life. With nearly five years of experience with the company, LuAnn values the opportunity to help people from all walks of life, including executives and stay-at-home parents, find planning systems that reflect their individual needs and lifestyles. Her diverse professional background includes experience in the cooking and plastics industries, executive secretarial work, human resources, and restaurant ownership, demonstrating her adaptability and versatility across multiple fields. After retiring from the restaurant business, LuAnn and her late husband entered missionary work, which eventually led them to become foster caregivers and adopt six children. These experiences reflect her commitment to family, service, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Throughout her life, she has also maintained a strong interest in creativity and the arts, pursuing opportunities to express herself through writing and artistic endeavors. Her great-grandmother has been an important influence in her life, providing a meaningful connection to her personal journey. In addition to her professional and family commitments, LuAnn is a published poet and accomplished artist. She received the Emily Dickinson Award for a published collection of 21 poems available on Amazon and earned third place in her division in the international Johnny Depp Art Contest. Outside of work, she enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, writing, and creating artwork. LuAnn believes that visibility and recognition are important for women seeking to advance their professional and creative pursuits. Through her work, artistic achievements, and life experiences, she continues to embrace opportunities to inspire others while encouraging balance, individuality, and personal expression.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with LuAnn Marie

01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best advice I would give myself and others is to never stop pursuing your dreams, regardless of age or life circumstances. Faith, perseverance, and a desire to make a difference can help us overcome challenges and continue moving forward. Surviving pancreatic cancer taught me that life is a gift, and every day is an opportunity to use our talents and creativity to inspire others, spread love, and leave a meaningful legacy for future generations.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

I would encourage young women to believe in themselves, embrace their creativity, and never be afraid to try something new. You never know what you can accomplish unless you take the first step. Use your talents to inspire others, spread kindness, and make a positive difference in people's lives. Success is not always about recognition or financial gain; sometimes, the greatest achievement is bringing happiness to others and showing unconditional love and compassion.

03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

One of the biggest challenges in my field is gaining exposure and getting my creative work recognized by a wider audience. I see opportunities to share my writing, artwork, and stories with more people, connect with others, and use my creativity to inspire and make a positive difference in their lives.
