Hi everyone… welcome in.Before we get started, I want to share a little bit about who I am, and why I do what I do.My name is Lisa — short for Lisa‑marie.And no… not because of Elvis Presley’s daughter.I was born in 1966, and she wasn’t born until 1969.So I had the name first.I’m a Pisces woman — intuitive, compassionate, creative, and always led by my heart. I’m 60 years old, a mom, a grandmother, an artist, and someone who has lived a whole lot of life. I was born in Wisconsin, raised partly in Alaska, and shaped by hard work, faith, and family.I grew up with farming roots — the kind that teach you grit, responsibility, and doing what needs to be done. When my step‑dad joined the Air Force, life took us to Alaska. My sister and I were latch‑key kids, running through the woods, crafting, creating, and learning independence early.And when my grandparents in Wisconsin could afford it — and only when they could — they saved enough to fly me back to visit them. I traveled alone as a little girl, escorted by flight attendants. Their sacrifice taught me what it means to give even when you don’t have much.Art has always been my heartbeat. It took me 40 years to earn my art degree — not because I quit, but because I never did. Life happened, but the dream stayed alive.I raised two daughters, both fiery Libra/Scorpio cusp babies, and now I’m blessed with grandchildren who are Libra and Scorpio — strong‑willed, loving, and full of personality. They call me “Nan,” and they are my joy.I started working in insurance at 21 years old, learning the business from the ground up. For most of my 25‑year career, I worked behind the scenes. It wasn’t until the last six years that my name finally went up on the window of the insurance and notary shop — a moment that meant everything to me.Then in 2013, I reinvented myself again. I joined Carrier Corporation in the Replacement Components Engineering Department. I’m not an engineer, but I work as a NAFTA RC Parts Classifier, partnering with a customs broker and coordinating documents. I research and pull historical records for units still in service — some dating back to the early 1900s. It’s detailed, meticulous work, and I’m proud of it.I’m a Catholic woman who believes in the Golden Rule, in smiling through the hard days, and in helping others without an agenda.And that brings me to my mission.I support The Pug Queen Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that rescues pugs from abuse, starvation, backyard breeding, puppy mills, kill shelters, and even the dog‑meat trade. These pugs come in terrified, sick, neglected, and fighting for their lives. They cannot wait. They need help today.I’ve supported The Pug Queen for a long time — long before streaming — and Carrier Corporation matches my donations, doubling the impact. This mission is part of who I am.So here’s how I divide every sale I make:20% to The Pug Queen Foundation — to save pugs in crisis25% to my grandchildren’s college funds — to invest in their future20% to my daughters’ inheritance — to build their security25% to my retirement — because I’ve worked hard my whole life10% to my tithes — to honor God and give back in gratitudeYour support doesn’t just buy something.It saves lives, it builds futures, it strengthens family, and it keeps faith alive.And if it’s on your heart to support The Pug Queen directly, here is her official nonprofit information:The Pug Queen Foundation — 501(c)(3) EIN: 83‑2068405Address: 22287 Mulholland Hwy. #381, Calabasas, CA 91302Email: [email protected]Whether you support through me or directly through her — it all helps save pugs who desperately need love, safety, and medical care.So thank you — truly — for being here, for listening, and for opening your heart.Together, we can make sure there is truly NO PUG LEFT BEHIND.
