Margaret Flanigan

Hello, I am Margaret O'Connor Flanigan

I am an experienced marketer and webmaster. I started out many, many years ago as a computer programmer. I left the workforce to stay home when my kids were born. I home schooled and did day care for a while and then I started selling the advertising on church bulletins. I realized that I loved sales and marketing! The church bulletin company pulled out of the Chicago area just as I was having my first success as an online marketer and the rest... as they say... is history!

Several years ago my kids and I relocated to a very small town in northern Wisconsin on the shore of Lake Michigan, surrounded by farmland and forest. I was so grateful for my online business because it allowed me to pick up and move without worrying about finding work locally.

Several years ago my parents both became very ill. Originally from Chicago, they had retired down in Arizona 25 years earlier. But now they were in their 80's and my mother needed a great deal of care and my father had suddenly been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and now he needed care also. Once again, having my own online business saved my life, allowing me do go down there and get them, bring them up to live with me and care for them in my home. After a few months with us my mother passed away peacefully here at home. My father's Alzheimer's continued to get worse but he was still the sweetest funniest dearest man in the world. My father passed away March 22, 2008, 2 years and one day after my mother. I thank God every day that I was able to be here for them when they needed me so much.

So now I (try to) balance my responsibilities to my kids with my work as a marketer and web master... and sometimes find a few minutes to myself for reading, fishing, kite flying and a few other hobbies.

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a blessed day!
