Mother also confesses to police of killing children

Meet Krystal Monisera, 29, a Jupiter, Florida mom who navigated her way out of a severe post-partum abyss through physical fitness. Right after Krystal's second child was born, the young mother of two recalls that a "scary" depression began to overtake her. Knowing that depression ran in her family and unsure of her next steps, Krystal was fortunate to discover weight training and physical fitness, which she says "jolted me out of the fog of post-partum depression." Now she wants to spread the message to other new moms experiencing the baby blues and significant post-partum depression. "I was fortunate because some of my girlfriends who were also new moms suggested we all get into physical fitness and begin working out together as a group." Krystal claims that if it hadn't been for her friends pushing her to join them in the gym, she doesn't know what would have become of her emotional state at that time. The women began a CrossFit regimen and Krystal noticed that her depression began to lift, sans any medical intervention.

On May 16, 2008 I placed my order for ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income via Amazon. A week later my book arrived, however, due to it being the end of the school year and everyday family chaos, I placed the book on my nightstand with the promise I would read it eventually. We all do that, don't we? June 4th was the morning my world came to a screeching halt. We'd had several days of steady, non-stop and, at times, heavy rains here in Indiana. That morning I woke to over three feet of water in our finished basement. When we opened the basement door and saw the water pouring in around the windows and down the walls, there was little else we could do besides close the door and let Mother Nature have her say.
