1)    Waiting for Your Ship to Come in: Don't wait!  Swim, Surf,              Ski, Snorkel or Doggie Paddle out to Your Ship!

Are you waiting for your proverbial ship to come in?  Dont' wait! None of us can afford to sit and wait for our ship to come to us.  With so much uncertainty all around us, we have to chart our course to get us there!  Life is too short!  Are you doing the "one thing" in life that you were born to do?  In this presentation, Mary inspires audience members to realize their dreams and to go after what they want in life.




2)     Hattitudes:  I've got a new "hattitude" (attitude)!

Are you ready to get a new "hattitude" (attitude)?  Good.  This presentation is all about hats and how wearing the right hat, literally and figuratively speaking, can help you to have the right "hattitude" (attitude).  Mary has all kinds of fun hats. She encourages anyone within earshot to put on a hat!  Mary uses storytelling and props in presenting this fun talk where anybody who wants a new "hattitude" (attitude), can get one!




3) Lettuce Play: Toys for Your Inner Child

Do you remember your toys from yesteryear?  Those old toys bring back great memories, don't they? As a child Mary loved to play with toys.  Still does.  She remembers most all of her toys.  You are never too old to play with toys!  And don't let anyone tell you otherwise! This presentation is "Play Therapy" for adults.  Mary shows you how playing with toys can add so much to your life by decreasing your stress level and releasing the inner child in you!

    Therapist is in!  (New Character)

5) Growing up Catholic:  Once a Catholic, always a Catholic

Mary was raised in the Catholic faith and attended Catholic church and schools.  She enjoys sharing her humorous stories of growing up in a large Catholic family.  Mary has gone to church her whole life and remembers as a youngster trying to get out of going to Mass, but her mother would have none of it.  Not only would Mary be "dragged" to church but would most likely be sitting near the front!  Some things never change.  After all these years, Mary still goes to church but prefers sitting in the back row now!




6) Blog....Flog...Splog......Living in a "Techie" World

The big world of blogging, texting, videoblogging, podcasting, oh my!  Years ago things used to be so simple, but now?  Do you feel as if you're drowning in the "Techie" world?  Can't keep up?  You are not alone.   Yes, some of the technological advances  have made our lives easier but who says we can't poke fun at it all.   




7) How To Not Drive Yourself Bananas on the Road:
   Mischief, Mayhem and Maniacs!

Road rage getting to you?  Other drivers making you honkin' mad?  Don't get even, get grateful.  Look at what you have: a car to drive, eyesight to drive that car, sunglasses to protect your precious eyesight, money (at least some) for gas, oil, etc, etc.
Speaking of sunglasses, here's an important question: Are you out there driving without your "shades" on?  Never, ever be caught with your shades down!  Even in cloudy weather!
Mary discusses with her audience things she has learned over the years that can help you keep your cool and sanity while out on the road.
