My name is

Terie Merkle-Michon

and this is

www.ResortAndLuxuryHomes.com

Once upon a time……

There was a little girl who dreamed of owning her

own business.

For as long as she could remember, she would watch as her parents

cheerfully gave their hard earned money

to store clerks & business owners.

“Playing store” was her favorite thing to do.

While her friends wanted to be the “shoppers & the Mommies”

But, Terie?

She wanted to be the store keeper.

And, she thought to herself… “I want to be that person people can’t wait to give their money to.”

To this day, that has

never changed.

Terie has done many things over the years.

An Army “brat” & daughter of a M.P. & Police Officer, her family

moved from state to state & even lived in Japan & Hawaii.

Terie went to more schools then there were girl scout badges, cheated death,

went to college to become a cop, but got married & got pregnant…3 times. So, she went to college again, this time in graphic

design & communication arts. She set her career dreams aside, as she raised

her kids, all the while working at everything from cocktail waitress to

family entertainer.

She finally owned her first business, when she started doing face painting, balloon twisting &

balloon décor, to help support her family & still be a full time,

stay at home Mom

Terie also homeschooled her kids when the schools weren’t

making the grade and somehow found the time to

start a youth soccer program in Colorado.

They ultimately moved to Cape Cod & where Terie became a Real Estate Broker.

Not long after, she becamedivorced .

She worked even harder to take care of her kids & met this nice guy that turned out to

be an abusive jerk & control freak.

Finally, she had as much as she could take &

reached out for help from police & local domestic violence shelter, for the safety of herself and her

kids, but found none.

Terie took it on herself to take all the lemons life

had given her and decided

to….Make

lemonade.

Terie took all she had learned over the years,

from school, life, business & love, good

times & bad and….

She started working on her vision of an international

website for the marketing of resort & luxury homes and a

companion lifestyles website…

www.ResortAndLuxuryHomes.com&

www.ResortAndLuxuryLiving.com

These websites are funded on nothing more than what she has scratched

together & sheer determination. She spends every spare minute, revising and developing these sites, to meet

her vision. All the while, she works full time at real estate & always developing

her professional skills.

This is only the beginning of her story. You could call it, the first chapter. The

next chapters will come to life with funding & publicity.

You can help with both.You can help Terie write her story, by

Sharing her story & by connecting her with “Angels” to help her with funding

her vision.
