About Me
Favorite Family Photo, atop Mt Washington 10 yrs After my Husband Proposed to me on the Same Spot
Some people like to define themselves as entrepreneurs, leaders, mentors, etc. Although I am all of those, the most important thing in my life is my family, so I prefer to introduce myself as a happily married mom. I live in the “sunshine state” with my husband, two teenage boys and adorable pup.
We moved from Mass to Florida a year ago, and have become snowbirds at a very young age. We’re incredibly fortunate to have a summer camp in the mountains of New Hampshire, and are able to enjoy the beauty of the lakes area all season. Through using solid, proven Internet marketing techniques I’m able to promote whatever businesses I choose to be involved in, work from virtually anywhere in the world, and to live the dream.
I worked a traditional job for most of my life, but always had an entrepreneureal spirit. While working I tried many work from home jobs in my “spare” time but never found success.

Several years ago I had a sudden onset of rheumatoid arthritis that completely destroyed my right wrist and made it impossible for me to work. For two years I was totally out of commission as my disease progressed. After 3 surguries, seemingly endless visits to the physical therapist, and many different drug therapies my insurance company finally approved me for an incredibly expensive drug called Enbrel.
After just 1 injection of this miracle drug, the unbearable pain I was constantly in was gone, and I was able to walk without assistance or pain killers. It was nothing short of amazing!
Although I was incredibly grateful to be free of the crippling pain I’d lived with for 2 years, I became concerned about the effects of the medications I was on. Embrel was fairly new – so there was no long term research on the side effects. I was also taking Methotraxate, a very toxic drug known to be potentially very damaging to the liver.
This is when I started my quest for physical well being. I started drinking Xango and taking high quality nutritional supplements, with exceptional results. After about 2 months I noticed that the pain in my right hand, bearable but still existent, was gone!

My doctor had told me I would never be able to stop taking the medications I was on, but I started to question the old school pharmaceutical plan. I weaned myself off the drugs, eventually stopping them altogether. This is one of the life accomplishments I’m most proud of, and I became an advocate for the wellness industry. I’m committed to helping others to take charge of their health through proactive, natural methods.
As my health was improving a friend introduced me to a network marketing business she had recently joined, encouraging me to partner with her. I had “been there, done that” and declined repeatedly. My experiences with home parties had not been good, and I was in no hurry to add that kind of misery to my life.
Soon after, my friend’s company developed a marketing plan that took the focus off home parties. My entrepreneureal spirit kicked in, and I joined. I attended monthly meetings, flew to conventions, listened to trainings, and followed the lead of those who were having tremendous success.
If you’ve done traditional network marketing you know the drill – prospecting friends, family and acquaintances. Making cold calls. Talking to strangers in the mall. Holding 1 on 1 appointments. And yes, even home parties – the worse! You see, our company found that their new method wasn’t effective, and went back to the home party plan – ughhh!

I can’t tell you how humiliating it was to hound people to have home parties for me, only to arrive and find 1 or 2 guests, who were there just to support their friend (who had hounded them to come)! I had a couple of people join me in the business, taught them the same outdated methods, and watched as they failed as miserably as I did.
I am a true believer, and my motto was “never give up” – so I suffered along for a couple of years, losing money and friends. Finally something better came along and I jumped ship, with the belief that all I needed was the right opportunity.
Only problem was that the methods were the same, leading me to the same dead end results.
Being a devout believer in the law of attraction, I slowly began to realize a couple of things:
- There were people out there that were looking for what I had to offer
- They were not my family, friends, and acquaintances
- If I could find a way to reach the right people the LOA would bring us together for mutually beneficial results

So, where do most people go these days to find information? The Internet, of course! I started a time consuming search, looking for solid methods that I could use to help me grow my business. There was alot of stuff out there, and I became overwhelmed with information overload. Problem was, most of the free and low cost information I found was fluff. Lots of potatoes with very little meat!
I’m Irish so you know I love potatoes but let’s face it – they’re nothing but low cost fillers full of empty calories and way too many carbs!
Finally I came across a solid method that’s taught by an incredibly selfless, spiritual entrepreneur named Jonathan Budd. I’ve learned through the principles of LOA that the things that feel right, are right, and Jonathan’s teachings felt right.
Over the last couple of months I’ve gained incredible skills and am proud to list some of my accomplishments:
- Learned solid, effective marketing methods such as using social media, writing articles, using pay per click, and video marketing
- I’ve become an expert with a system that provides lead capture pages, effective web copywriting, and proven videos to help me reach others who are looking for help in their lives.
- Have mastered the art of building relationships through autoresponder campaigns.
- And I’ve created this very blog. Would you believe that only a few months ago I wasn’t really too sure just what a blog was?
For the first time in my life I’m a leader. I know how to help others to become leaders. And I understand why things have gone so badly in the past. No pain, no gain – right?
Using the lessons I’ve learned my goal is to help others live their best lives by teaching them how to:
- Use wellness methods to proactively take charge of their health & well being
- Find inner peace and enlightenment, which result in unconditional joy
- Create financial independence and time freedom in their lives
I’m especially committed to helping those who have been afflicted with physical problems that have made it difficult or impossible for them to work in the traditional marketplace.
Whether you’re unable to work due to illness, unable to find a job, want to be a work from home parent or just have a burning desire for a better life, I’m here for you! Please just let me know how I can help…
