hi friend,
I’m Rebecca Gonzalez, but most folks call me Becky. I’m a wife, mama to three, and our rescue dog, Riley. If you’re into personality profiles at all, I’m a 1 on the Enneagram, which also makes me a recovering perfectionist and people-pleaser.
I’m a writer and speaker. A hopeful encourager and freedom fighter who loves God and others…clumsily.
You can find my book - Glimpses of Love: The Most Excellent Way of Imperfection - on Amazon.
A couple of other ways you can support me are found here and here.
why glimpses of love?
Love leaves glimpses where you least expect it. Glimpses filled with grit and grace, because it takes both the grit and grace to run the race of life. This little corner of the internet is my attempt to share those glimpses as honestly as I can, and invite others to do the same.
That’s where glimpses of love comes in: a space where weary hearts can find hope as we fight to see the glimpses of love through the grit and grace of imperfection.
what to expect
I share a few words about the grit & grace of imperfection in life + love + faith every week to two weeks. Longer-form essays and articles will also be shared from time to time as those are published. Subscribers will also be the first people to get updates and inside info on any writing projects-in-progress.
By subscribing, you won’t miss a thing. Every new issue of glimpses of love goes directly to your inbox. But because one of the benefits of Substack is the ability to interact, I’d love for you to check in here every once in a while and be part of the conversation.
You can also follow me on Instagram and Twitter.
