Anybody remember Jessie Pepper from Marriage is Funny that I met way back in September? Anybody remember how hard I was fan girling over meeting her? Well heck I’ve got something to say about her, y’all. She picked ME as one of two people to intern for her new clothing brand. WHAT? Yeah. I must haveContinue reading “This Season Ain’t Just For a Season”

Gwenn’s Diary | Entry 3: The End is Just the Beginning
So as of about 2 and a half months ago, I emailed a guy thinking, “hey, maybe we’ll just talk and get to know each other. And then maybe in a few months, if I end up going to Passion in Atlanta, I can call him up.” But instead he called me. He pursued me. HeContinue reading “Gwenn’s Diary | Entry 3: The End is Just the Beginning”
Throw The Carrot | What I Learned From My Past & Present Crushes
Because nothing can happen unless you take a chance.
Stop Believing The Lies
You may believe in God and in His son, but there are things in your life that are too deep to even speak of. There are weeds that have made their roots and you are too afraid to pull them up. There are struggles you are too ashamed to unravel.
But the thing is, if we aren’t open to receiving someone’s love or help, we aren’t fully open to receiving Him.
A Job & A Mattress
“A bee in a glass jar.”
That is what my mom calls me. I’m everywhere, all the time. I have always been this way, jumping from one idea to the next, but my mind has been going crazy the last 8 months, jumping from thing to thing, worrying over the smallest leap and the tiniest decision because my next step determines the rest of my life, apparently (according to myself at least). And as my mind started to race & juggle the idea of my one year contract with teaching and a 2 year program to earn my teaching credential here in California, I realized something.
What’s Your Number?
I’m a weirdly vulnerable & honest person. So I want to share 10 honest things about me.
Here we go.
Gwenn Goes Local | California Style
Ah! SO. I accidentally let my “Gwenn Goes Local” go off-the grid. The truth is, I got stingy with my money and my time, and lost sight of my vision for my visits/posts. But have no fear, my recent location change and a little higher paycheck coming in spurred the start up of more localContinue reading “Gwenn Goes Local | California Style”
6 Best Things For Your Students
I know, I know, school is school. We need to teach our kids how to act in society, how to sit quietly, how to stop tapping their dang pencil on their desk or hitting their feet together because seriously, everyone can hear you (still learning my patience on this one), how farts in public are not and never will be appropriate, and how respect and kindness are the two things that will get you anywhere in life.
But just because they need to learn those things doesn’t mean that making silly faces to your friends across the room can’t happen every once and awhile. It doesn’t mean that a an always quiet classroom is a learning classroom. And it doesn’t mean that reading, writing, speaking, math facts or problem solving have to be done sitting on your bottom with four legs on the ground.
Dear Stephanie
And now here you are, sitting in Southern California, wondering what is coming next. But as you sit here, writing to yourself, dreaming of the future again, I want to tell you something.
The Truth of Being Single & Livin’ in The Golden State
About a month ago I had this great idea of backing up my past post, How to be Single, a Christian, & a College Graduate – All At The Same Time. Backing it up meaning- sharing with you all that the fear of being single goes away. That when people tell you it is all going to be alright, it will be. That they aren’t lying. The hurt, the fear- it will disappear, you just have to give it time.
