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.
www.ResortAndLuxuryHomes.com
For as long as she could remember, she would watch as her parents
cheerfully gave their hard earned money
to store clerks & business owners.
www.ResortAndLuxuryHomes.com
“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.”
www.ResortAndLuxuryHomes.com
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.
