Hi my name is Deana La Rosa and I am a wife, mother, stepmom, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, and motivational speaker committed to using my life experiences to help others.
My husband Joe and I have been married for 12 years now. Joe and I came together under incredibly difficult circumstances. We both had relatively new "exes" that still lived in the same town. We also both had children with those exes. And beyond that, as we started our relationship, the industry that we both worked in was in total collapse (real estate).
Even after a few years of marriage, when we were having children of our own, the challenges kept coming. Without going too far into the details of it, my pregnancy with our youngest child, Joey, became nothing short of a life and death struggle for the both of us. Even after he was born, Joey spent the first month of his life in the NICU with feeding tubes, IV's, tin foil all over his bed (for warmth), and his eyes covered to protect them from the light.
Yet, we have made it through. We have not only successfully brought our two families together, but now have two children of our own. Of course we have made mistakes--many of them. But like most things, we have learned more from our mistakes than our success.
This is the reason for writing my book, Blended Families: a Roadmap for Success. It's a work of great passion that has been years in the making and I'm excited to give it to you for FREE, just pay shipping and handling.
