About me

Writing blogs and writing books is all new to me.  I never imagined I would be doing this or enjoying it as much as I do.  

About me....                          
My name is Eileen Gonzalez, I am 43 years old.  My husband and I have been married for 21 years; we have 2 kids (boy & girl).  I love my family, would do anything for them and I have to admit I have made tons of mistakes in my life. I constantly think about both my kids’ future, especially my Marine Son who is on his own living far away from us.   My kids have seen us struggle and I do not want that type of life for them. For this reason, getting to clear on ME; not only helps me get back on my feet, but it will help my kids know there is a better way.

Throughout my postings you will notice I refer to myself as if everything were my decision, my mistake, and my progress.  The reason I do this, is that in the past my husband and I would point fingers at each other but never took responsibility for our actions.   This only led to more pain and more mistakes.  It's taken some time, but I now understand that I am a "work in progress" and that I am constantly creating my life.   I have known sadness, frustration, hopelessness and anxiety; however these feelings have been a direct result of my actions.  I have learned that as painful as it is for me to admit it, I have had a leading role in all the good, the bad and ugliness in my life.  Changing the way I address our problems, has made our relationship stronger; as we both now recognize our mistakes and understand that it’s up to us to do better. Sincerely believe that my attitude will determine the type of life I live. 

                                                     
I am not the same person I was......I have learned my lessons and I am very proud of my new found focus in life.  I am still not where I need to be, however I am well on my way. 

In this blog I want to share my lessons with you and tell you "there is a better way" and it all starts with YOU.  We came to this world with all the tools needed to succeed.   Remember; God only makes perfection, and you are his best creation.
