Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, Pear Tree proprietor, STAYING HOME!
“The purpose of our lives is to be happy.”―
There are so many negative things happening in the news right now, it could be a challenge to stay positive. In order to inspire people to be positive, I’m starting a weekly series on my personal blog page, focusing on those who are thriving during COVID19. With a little bit of thinking out of the box, you never know what could happen, right?
When lock-down began, mid-March, I was disappointed that my library lectures got canceled, one by one. But I never would have imagined that just three months later, I’d be giving online motivational classes! (Links to sign up are below). And as a last minute edit, the second edition of Love Cats is now available (my pen name is Krystianna Mercury). See link below!
Just as nature has a way of taking care of itself, so does life in general. We get knocked down, but new doors open for us.
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).

I’m excited to share that I was featured on the Loving the 50-something blog as someone “Amazing Over 50”! You can check it out here: Amazing Over 50
