Quick introduction. Say hello!

article image placeholderUploaded by @EverythingGaby
Hi. My name is Gaby. I am new to the Swell community, and I really had a hard time pushing myself to record this Swell. This is my very first time, so I'll start with introducing myself. Again. My name is Gaby. I am on Instagram. Everything Gaby underscore G. I felt like Swell would be the right platform to just kind of share a little bit more about my story

Hi my name is Gaby. Im a #motheroffour. #Domesticviolencesurvivor. #Lifesbusy But i wanted to take a moment to #sayhello!

I am glad that this app allows people to come out their shelf to give them a voice. People are very welcoming, very encouraging, and that is so needed and so refreshing. We need voices like yourself. We need people that are going to say, hey, look at me. In spite of what happened, I'm still here. I am a force to be reckoned with. So, yes, congratulations

Hey, Gaby. I share Luciana's sentiment. It's great to hear your voice. Thank you for being here and looking forward to more stories and learning about your kids and just having those conversations that are difficult to have other places and have happy you found a place here to expand upon important topics and hear other people and how they've approached them and really looking forward to how that community builds here, for sure. And it's really building

That's why you see the moniker Her SEASU. I also am on Instagram with the same name, H-E-R-S-I-S-U-S is a finished word and encompasses all of the elements of being resilient, and that is the survivor. The survivor of domestic violence is in C, sue. And it requires that to be able to progress that journey, which is a lifelong journey, because it's going to forever be a part of you in terms of how you thrive and move forward in your life

We were born and put on this Earth to do something, and I just want to get to know people. I love people, and I love your voice. Thank you so much for responding. And I'm sending a great big virtual hug, and I hope you have a fabulous Friday. I'll talk to you soon

So I wanted to respond and just say welcome. And just so you know, my story is when the pandemic well, first of all, I'm older, much older than 35, just so you know that I'm married and stuff. And I'm on here because I like to talk to people, and I'm like you people oriented. And this was a great venue. So when the pandemic hit, I was diagnosed with cancer

Anyway, I'm going to make this really short so you can get back to me and maybe I'll have something else to talk about. I have actually a lot to talk about. So anyway, what I do is I'm a preschool teacher and I work in a Montessori school and I work with kids and I've worked with kids for over 20 years, worked in the public school system for 20 years. And then because of the pandemic, I was cut short of that
