If Ever There Was a Writer's Inspiration........

I wanted to introduce you all to a friend of mine. Lisa Curcio is an amazing mother, business owner and writer. We met through my favorite hang out WPLH and I just really wanted to share her story with you all.
Lisa’s youngest son Owain was born on May 3rd 2008. The morning after Owain was born it was discovered that he has a very rare and complicated Congenital Heart Defect. To quote Lisa from her journal: “His heart is very strong! It is just not wired correctly so that the blood goes into the heart & sent out to the lungs to get reoxygenated.”
So, I’m sure that running her jewelry business and her writing are keeping her busy enough, but with 3 boys running around the house and little Owain having surgeries to treat his condition, she must be really worn out!
The purpose of this blog was to help all you freelance writers by giving you resources and stories that will show you how possible it is to make a substantial income by writing from home. Lisa’s is a story that I think will touch your hearts and show you that even through adversity it is possible to fulfill your dreams of being writers.
Now, be sure to check out Lisa’s websites:
