My story is this:

When I was pregnant with my little baby boy Deuce in 2007, I went searching on the internet for something that could enhance the way of life for my family. I had a strong desire to work from home and I needed to find a gig that could pretty much fit the bill. My older children Erica and Brandon had sports and afterschool programs that needed to be paid for, and with me on bed rest, my husband paid for everything!

I was lucky enough to find an eBook that provided me with all the answers that I needed for a successful business. It was The Renegade Network Marketer. There were so many people that used this product that gave rave reviews,-- I could feel it. These people had genuine success stories and yes, I decided that I wanted to be a part of it. I decided that I wanted what THEY had. So, I bought it--I read it, absorbed it, and was ready to apply it. I learned what I needed to know in order to build a business effectively.

Well, I don't know why, but I ended up going into labor 3 months early-- resulting in the premature birth of my little boy Deuce.

My goodness, it was such a tough time for us. I was just about to start building a dream website that I had a strong passion for. Unfortunately, things started to get quite a bit complicated. My husband had a lot of difficulty and complaints from his job. He had so much trouble getting time off to drive to the hospital-- Deuce was in NICU downtown, and I still couldn't drive for a while after his birth. This was stressful for both James and I.

Deuce continued to fight for life in the hospital, and many times, the doctors said he was a trooper-- he was "cruising". But, even though things looked as though Deuce was doing well, he suddenly became really sick with Necrotizing Enterocolitis (Nec). He lived 5 strong weeks in NICU and suddenly passed away just after.

One of the things that I promised my son before he passed was that I would help people. That is what was in my heart, and I felt it was imperative to share that with him before we said goodbye. I thought that the help I was supposed to provide was to help other moms that have lost; and to protect others by educating them-- in order to prevent the loss of a child. Well, I have dedicated my life to doing so, and continue to encourage other women-- letting them know that they can truly go on-- with their lost loved ones safe in the heart. And I still give full my support. By phone, email, or postal mail... I am always available to listen and inspire... I believe that is what my baby boy truly wanted me to do.

I put my business dreams on hold because I had to work out how I just had my dream of having my precious baby in my arms-- quickly torn away. The loss of a child is the number one thing that affects a mommy in the heaviest way. It is something that is just unimaginable. It aches the heart.

After baby Deuce passed, my husband James and I were blessed to become pregnant again with a little girl named Zoe. We believe that she was handpicked by Deuce. During the pregnancy with Zoe, I was again, put on bed rest-- but spent the entire time building a business based on what I learned from The Renegade Network Marketer. I love Architecture and interior design and decorating.  I knew that this was the thing that I needed to focus on during this  pregnancy because it made me feel better.  Building my businesses was like therapy for me.  It gave me something real to look at every day, something that I was building and could be proud of.  Most of all, it helped me not to be so scared about the thought I naturally was having each of those days...  Fear of going into early labor again and delivering too soon.  

But what was also comforting about building my business, I still had my eBook to refer to which was the buisiness plan.  Even though I took a break from it for a short time, The Renegade Network Marketer was nicely written and enabled me to revisit it and apply what I learned-- when I was ready and able.  And it allowed me to do it easily.  My own pace.

What I ended up creating was a masterpiece. My website Tuscan-Home-101 was launched and became a successful money making machine pretty much over night. My passion for home design in the Italian style made my dreams a clear reality.

I know that if I didn't download The Renegade Network Marketer, I would not have been able to achieve the things that I have worked so hard for. My husband and I went through a lot over that time, the loss of Deucie-butt was so hard. And we underwent so much that I just cannot even break down how difficult it was to focus, and how hard it was to keep looking in the mirror each day to feel anything else but useless.  I needed something clear, easy and simple to follow.  Something that could guide me step by step even though my mind was a blur sometimes.  I just really needed guidance-- with everything that I was wanting to do at that time.

I had to have something to give me direction, or I would have flopped-- No question.  And as difficult as it was-- I would have flopped a lot lower, and a lot harder. Things that I loved. Things that I wanted for my family. Things that I had planned. I wanted it. I wanted to get it. So I applied it.

This my friends is for baby Deuce. I promised I would help people. I am keeping that promise by helping other mommies and daddies live their dreams and believe in every little thing that sounds inspiring to them!  I encourage each one of you to go ahead and follow your dreams.  I am always here to listen and inspire....  If I can do it anyone else who dreams can too.

All the best,
