What is your story?

As I sit here and think of what my next post should be ... I realize that I have not giving you guys a proper welcome to my blog.  I personally wanted to take some time to welcome each and everyone of you beautiful readers that take your time to come by and visit me here at ZulyMomma.  

As you can see I am a newbie when it comes to blogging... just getting my feet wet...and I have to admit that I am very pleased with the response... at first I was afraid , I did not know where to start... but when I started looking through so many different types of blogs I realized that each and everyone has a story to share.  A unique story that one way or another will reach out and touch someone.  

When I was offered the opportunity to start blogging I kind of laughed at the idea of someone like me, and when I say like me  I mean someone that always kept to herself and had an issue with letting people in... and God forbid I would ever share my feelings, that was something I was not ready to do.... but as I sat there and contemplated my life and every single minute that I have lived and what I have gone through... I came to the conclusion that no matter how bad my life has been... I had a story... and my story whether it is worst than others or not ... I know my story will touch someone.

Opening up a part of me that has been kept quiet for so long was a hard decision... but I know that I am not alone.. there are so many people out there that will relate.  

 As I begin to share and open up my life to everyone out there my hands start to shake just at the thought of sharing my life experiences and struggles... but I know that someone might read this and will relate somehow.  I have been a person that has been surrounded by such a wonderful family....lots of love and understanding...and I would have never imagined that I would end up becoming such a depressed individual that felt that she was all alone...even though she was surrounded by so many people.  I was blinded by that demon named .... Depression.

Dealing with depression is an ongoing battle... a battle that should never be fought alone.  As you visit my blog you will know more about all the life changing experiences that made me go deeper and deeper into an emotional roller coaster...An emotional roller coaster triggered by divorce, loss of job, cancer, obesity, poverty, suicidal thoughts and low self esteem.  I may not have riches or wealth, but I stand with my head held up high and proud to say that I am still standing despite all I have gone through.   

So I wanted to take the time to introduce myself to all of you..... and the person that you will see in the following video is someone that may not be a famous person or may not have a great story to tell..... she is simply a survivor! 

I hope you continue to visit my blog.... we all have a story ... what is yours?

With lots of love,

ZulyMomma
