This is Me!
For the past couple of the years I have taken the time to understand who is Astrid. It has been a journey, but allow me to give a little background. I am an immigrant that has lived in this beautiful country since I was 2. I grew up in Texas, got a regular public education, much similar to a regular middle class family. I am the oldest of four and the only daughter. I have three amazing brothers and the most loving parents that really did the best they could the only way they knew how. I really did grow up happy, however, as life hit me in the face, I had to relearn a lot of the things that I had grown accustomed to.
I got married in 2006 to a wonderful man. We welcomed our son in 2008 and we were living our lives. Then, in 2012 my life was all shaken up when, my then husband, was involved in a an accident that left me to be a single mother to a 4 year old. This is when I sat down and really re-evaluated my life. As expected, I took some time to grieve and went through the rollercoaster of ups and downs and why this and why that. And after awhile, of being mad and unhappy, I kneeled down and asked My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to help me deal with the pain, and to guide me in my new journey. This is when I first evolved and reinvented my life.
The first thing I did was became a US Citizen. My brothers where all born in the states so this topic was never talked about with me. My parents and myself were Residents so it was never a priority, but I felt that this was the first step to taking back control of my life. But still, I did not truly know who Astrid was, what she liked, what her hobbies were or even recognize this face in the mirror. All I knew was how to be a daughter, sister, wife and mother. But over the next couple of years, I figured out that I was living a life full of always trying to live up to a standard. One that some one else had set for me as apposed to the ones I set for myself. So I started being me.
The authentic Me. I eventually found a man that brought out the best of me. He encouraged me, supported me, and allowed me to continue to venture on, to finally be here with all of you today. By applying Life Skills, Routines and retraining my thought process, I finally have a clear vision of who I am to become. My goal is to help everyone the best way I know how, but especially Hispanic Women. I have a passion for helping these women learn how to tap into their greatest potentials. To become the best versions of themselves. So, if this is you, strap in and hold on tight because it’s going to be a bumpy ride. But I promise you, it’s all worth it! Who is the you that you’d like to become?

A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do believe that you should publish more about this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but usually folks dont speak about such subjects. To the next! Cheers!!
