Mary Pierce is an awesome speaker. I never stopped laughing. I wish she had been taped so everyone could experience her humor. She made you feel good about yourself and to be happy where you are in your life. She got the audience interacting with each other. I would definitely go and see her again.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and fun weekend.
I am glad that I could attend Mary Pierce’s presentation. She is an excellent speaker and has much knowledge about her topic when she is presenting. She has a good sense of humor and made everyone in room laugh the whole night. During her speech, she got the audience interacting with each other by writing things down, such as “things a person has accomplish in life”.
ReplyDeleteShe gave us very good techniques on how to release stress. After I listened to her speech, I felt good about myself and made me happy about the way I am. I would definitely go and see her again in the future. She made my day!!!
I really enjoyed listening to Mary Ellen Pierce. I especially enjoyed her sense of humor. The topics she spoke about were all very entertaining, informative, and inspirational. There was one very informative topic she spoke of and the topic was about how we never have any time. For us to overcome this problem, we need to ask ourselves these three questions: (1) Do I have to do this at this time? (2) Is there someone else who can do this? (3) Is this something that only I can do? By answering these questions honestly, we can free up more time in our lives. She also spoke about how we need to let go of unrealistic expectations; that we need to look at ourselves in the mirror, and see the value that we have. Lastly, we need to have a sense of humor in our lives. These were only a few of the topics that greatly affected me. I was much moved and deeply took her words into consideration.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Mary Pierce’s talk on how to balance life. When my husband and I had our first child, it was definitely a struggle. We lived with his parents until my son turned one, and then moved out on our own. Juggling between work, school, and a child was new for us. A lot of the things she had mentioned in her speech, I could relate to. Having gone through most of them, her tips were very helpful and intriguing. I’m glad I attended this event.
ReplyDeleteMary Pierce presented a very enjoyable time on how to balance life. The experiences that were used, I could relate to and was laughing the whole time. Mary shared an experience in jazzercise, and it was so funny because I had a similar experience. I liked the suggestions on collecting things that make me laugh. I remember the part from the Dharma & Greg show regarding forgiveness by putting it in a bubble and blowing it away. I enjoyed the presentation and would go to more presentations with Mary Pierce. I am currently reading her latest book.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Mary! She started out with a really good attention getter about her weight, and her age. From there she just kept getting more funny. She did teach me somethings about life that I will remember for ever. One thing that sticks in my mind the most that she said was work 6 days out of the week and leave one day to do nothing. She also spoke about you not having to do everyting on your to do list, that others can do things on that list. Very good speaker!
ReplyDeleteHow kind you all are! Thanks for being such a great audience--I had so much fun at Globe.
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone HUGE success for today and in the future.
Thanks for making me feel so welcome! ;-)
Joy always,
Mary Pierce
