What Inspires Me? 2 years ago I felt like I wanted to end it all. I was in such a state of depression,everything that had any meaning to be was slowing being taken away. I was separating from my soon to be ex-husband and I had to sell my home, my self-confidence was non-existent . To this day I have no idea how I made it. No not the truth, I made it because I knew that if I gave up, my daughter would have no mother and I never wanted to put her in a position where she wondered WHY? So I kept going, I kept crying, I kept praying, I kept believing that one day God would help me to see the light. All I wanted was to see a flicker of light to give me hope.

In my weakness, I kept on walking towards the light gaining my strength back-slowly. My prayer at nights would be Lord, if you take me through this darkness, I will use my story to honor you. I may never have a stat on hollywood boulevard, I may never speak in front of a large audience but my message is this- Never give up, no matter how many times you try and fail, get back up and keep moving, don’t make permanent decisions in temporary moments. Your vision might be clouded, making you believe that your life has no significance, but we are all here for a purpose and as simple as it might sound your purpose might just be to make someone smile:) Allow yourself to go through the process- it’s necessary for your success. And if you no one ever tells you that that they care, that you matter, know that I do- Kymarie

    Ky, this was so powerful. I just got thru blogging about the same thing. I’ve kept a “never give up” attitude my whole life. That “resilience” is just a part of me, even thru my deepest and darkest valley(s) in life, I still knew that I couldn’t give up. My spirit wouldn’t let me.
    I just started reading Alonzo Mourning’s story “Resilience” – what an awesome book (highly recommend it).
