Pear Tree – September 2022

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, proprietor

“I love life and nothing intimidates me anymore.” — Olivia Newton John

A few weeks ago I celebrated my 59th birthday. It was shortly afterwards that I realized that nothing intimidates me anymore. It’s liberating to know that you can simply walk away from anything that is unsatisfying to your being. You don’t need it! And on the flip side, you can GO FOR your dreams! During the past month, I’ve taken several business chances–I mean, really going for the gold! And I’m excited to see what will manifest. You can do it too — believe in yourself; we have to believe we are magic!

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

• BOOK EDITING (Completed manuscripts only)
• SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
• EXTRA WORK (or small acting roles in commercials and indie films)
• OVER 50 MODELING

Note: Pear Tree will only present lectures/talks with a contract to be paid “day of.”

Pear Tree June 2022

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, Pear Tree proprietor

“I think everybody’s weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.” ― Johnny Depp

Through a massive amount of meditation, I was led to veganism last summer. It’s almost a year since I shunned all animal products. Fish was the very last to go, but after seeing a sweet octopus at a sea aquarium, I just couldn’t do fish anymore.

While many vegans judge others who still consume animal products, I try not to. This is my personal journey and path. Just like writing is my path.

We are all unique individuals and we all strive to be loved and accepted. However, that’s not always the case. Some don’t understand us, therefore cannot accept us. Nevertheless, we should all continue doing what we set out to do. Continue following your dreams and celebrating your differentness!

NOTE: At this time, Pear Tree is booked to the max! To be put on the “waiting list” for book editing contact me at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com … Note, this is for complete manuscripts only. Pear Tree is no longer accepting ghost writing clients.

I may be available for Over 50 modeling paid gigs and Event Help.

Pear Tree February 2022

The Roaring ’20s

“I never want to be anything more than I am; what I don’t have, I don’t need.” — Louis Armstrong

Are we roaring yet?

This month I chose a strong quote from a famous roaring ’20s musician, Louis Armstrong. I really like what he says here because it’s so true in life. You really don’t need what you don’t have. Be appreciative for what you do. During the pandemic many businesses took a huge cut, during what should have been the start of our generation’s roaring 20s. But that down time taught us, that we what we didn’t have, we didn’t need. It was a great time to hunker down with loved ones and go deep inside. And that’s how we make our biggest roaring comeback — with a deep breath from within.

Pear Tree January 2022

Maryanne Christiano Mistretta and Sammy

“Nothing is important, so people, realizing that, should get on with their lives, go mad, take their clothes off, jump in the canal, jump into one of those supermarket trolleys, race around the supermarket and steal Mars bars and kiss kittens.” — Morrissey

I’m starting off the new year with a bang of a quote by Morrissey. This quote resonates with me because I am the one who races in a supermarket cart like a little kid and sings songs in the aisles. Who cares if no one smiles at you. Just enjoy — your soul is watching. And being fun like that gives off great vibes to attract more fun in your life.

Doing what you love for a living, adds to that. Here are the things I am available for:

• BOOK EDITING (Completed manuscripts only)
• SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
• EXTRA WORK (or small acting roles in commercials and indie films)
• OVER 50 MODELING
• EVENT HELP

Unfortunately, Pear Tree will no longer present to libraries unless there is a signed contract to be paid “day of.” Pear Tree Enterprises is not a collection agency, therefore checks must be presented “day of” or the program will not be. NO NEGOTIATIONS.

Pear Tree October 2021

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta (Photo by Jeff Danze)

“Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” — Unknown

Letting go is beautiful. It’s about saying, “I have moved on to something that works better for me.”

When you work for yourself, you don’t have to bend over backwards to keep every client. Whatever the reason. A personality conflict. Using work tools that you’ve already mastered. Something is no longer an experience. It’s okay. You don’t have to burn bridges, but saying, “It’s time to move on” is not a bad thing. It means you are growing.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

Shoot me an email at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com

I’m available for ghost writing and memoir writing, editing, blogging, and proofreading. (NOTE: No agencies, I prefer to work with clients one-on-one.)

I’m also available for public speaking, as well as working events tables at trade shows such as Chiller and Comic Con. And my favorite, Over 50 Modeling!

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).

WRITING/BOOKS/JOURNALISM

Publications I’m currently writing for: Dental Products Shopper, Trenton Journal, and Grey Journal.

I’m also toying with the idea of another book. I have a few in the works.

Pear Tree September 2021

 

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, Pear Tree proprietor

“The point of power is always in the present moment” — Louise Hay

Whether I’m writing or editing or doing a presentation or modeling or being a brand ambassador or extra in a film or celebrity handler, all the things I do add up to a very cool career. It’s kind of annoying when people tell me to “relax” or that I work too much, when none of these things really feel like work! (To be honest, the “work” is getting the gig, the rest is a breeze!)

Whatever you do, do it with passion and embrace the power of the present moment–on the weekends, vacations, or even down time. Being present means being alive!

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

Shoot me an email at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com

I’m available for ghost writing and memoir writing, blogging, editing, essays, and Facebook updates. And public speaking, as well as working events tables at trade shows such as Chiller and Comic Con. AND, back from what I did in 2009 — I’ve re-added “personal assistance.”

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).

Pear Tree – August 2021

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, Show Boat, Atlantic City, July 2021

 “A life without love is like a year without summer.” —Swedish Proverb

Hey Gang!

How has your summer been? I’m totally loving it, especially now that places are re-open for live music shows.

And guess what? It looks like Pear Tree is back in full swing! I have some live programs booked! Check them out below. And in the meantime, if you need anything, check out the “What Can I Do For You?” section, as I’ve re-added some old stuff! After a brief break, I’m ghost writing again. AND, for the first time since 2009, Pear Tree is offering personal assistance!

Pear Tree May 2021

“I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.” — Louise Hay

Hey Gang!

Last month I spoke about semi-retiring and taking art classes, as well as studying to become a feline behaviorist. Both are going great! I’ve been getting nothing but 95 and 100 on my grades for feline behavior!

Check out one of my paintings, in acrylic, right below!

Pear Tree is still going strong, just on a part-time basis.

I am no longer ghost writing (only editing books that are completed), but I’m available for blogging and journalism. I’m also doing more modeling (yes, at 57!) and acting. There’s also public speaking via Zoom (see what I have to offer below), as well as publishing consulting.

While we are still in the pandemic here in the USA, we continue to be cautious. At Pear Tree, I’m happy to work with you via phone calls; or at your home wearing a mask and social distancing.

View the next section “What Can I Do For You?” to see what I can do for you and your business! Whether it’s blogging or writing or working on your book – I can help you get your not-boring life down on paper!

Contact Pear Tree today: maryannechristiano@gmail.com

Note: We can work remotely during COVID, via ZOOM or telephone. This has been working out great. Why not start a new journey from the comforts of your own home? Get that book written today!

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. I am no longer ghost writing, but I am available to edit copy that’s already written.

Shoot me an email at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com

I’m also available for blogging, editing, essays, and Facebook updates.

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).

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, Hard Rock Hotel, Atlantic City

‘I feel like I have to have a voice.’ — Debbie Harry

Feeling like you have a voice is significant in your career. To be able to speak up and have input is key in a successful working relationship. This is why I offer potential clients a free consult prior to working together–to decide if we are a good fit! It’s not just about me being heard, but YOU! After all it is your book.

I’m helping three clients write their books. But I will always have room to help. View the next section “What Can I Do For You?” to see what I can do for you and your business! Whether it’s blogging or writing or working on your book – I can help you have a voice!
