Want To Boost Your Mood?

We all have periods of time when we feel down and blue.

Maybe, things seem to be picking on us with undue stress or things are happening beyond our control. A few suggestions to help you feel better:

Walking

When you are stressed, get out in the air and sunshine. As you begin to move your body and find yourself moving away from your problems, you will begin to feel better

Laughing

This is a quick fix and makes you feel better all over.

Talking with a Supportive Friend

Sometime, you just need to vent your struggles with a friend, with no judgment or suggestions to feel the tension slide off of your shoulders.

Journal your thoughts

Helps to analyze your mood and soon you can spot patterns, for a possible correction ahead.

Healthy snacks

This simple action will lift your mood instantly.

Have you ever thought that what seems so “top of the mountain today” will not even matter in a few weeks?

Mary Ann grew up in Brownwood, a small central Texas town. Her early love of the violin, which developed at the age of ten, and subsequent mastery of the instrument opened many opportunities for her. She was mentored and prepared for her musical journey from the director of the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra. She auditioned and was selected to join the Blue Jeans Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra was underwritten by Levi Straus Blue Jean Manufacturer and the City of Estes Park, Colorado. Two musical students from each state were selected and concerts were given each Sunday afternoon in a natural amphitheater in the Rocky Mountains. Mary Ann remains an alumnus of this group which is an active symphony now making their home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Mary Ann also played in the Las Vegas, Wichita Falls and Austin Symphony Orchestras.

She had a busy career beginning at the Governor’s Office in Colorado. Then fourteen years at a Texas Trade Association. She was Manager of a Computer Magazine Publishing Company. The last few years of working were spent in sales, which led to her home office, as her husband’s health declined.

Since her husband’s death, Mary Ann has written several books, including a Book of Poetry, Children’s Short Stories, Reflections, The Pioneers and her just published book, Journey of My Heart, A Memoir.

During the last quarter of 2012 Mary Ann was engaged with speaking engagements and book signings in several states, as well as radio interviews from New York City, Dallas, Denver, Portland and Seattle, Washington.
