“Don’t just sit there and complain — do something.” Jack Canfield
These last few months have been so hard for many. It’s easy to get into a rut and complain, especially when loved ones are at a health risk. But it’s vital to your health and the health of others you love to continue to live life to the fullest. If this year has taught us anything, it’s that you just don’t know when your time will be up — because healthy people are getting Covid too!
While I’m still blessed to be on this planet, I’m having a blast hosting my ZOOM classes, courtesy of both universities and libraries. The last of my Allfafa University series is in August, but I’ll be renewing in September. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, stay focused, stay healthy, and stay safe!
If anyone needs kind words or a prayer, I am here for you, just an email away: maryannechristiano@gmail.com

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
During these stressful times it’s hard to think about dreams, or business in general.
But if you want to get your mind off of things, writing a book may be a great idea. And I can help you. Shoot me an email at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com
[NOTE: During COVID19, all book writing services will be conducted over the phone.]
I’m also available for blogging, editing, and Facebook updates.
For the moment, these services are suspended: Public speaking/lectures, wedding officiant, and over 50 model.
Rates are reasonable, and the first hour phone (or in-person) consultation is free to potential new clients. Every client who uses Pear Tree services will be featured in the newsletter (unless for whatever reason they don’t want to be in the newsletter, as privacy is respected).
