Introducing TRUTH TO TEENS

Hi, Awesome Teens!

Welcome to Truth to Teens! This blog is for YOU! This is the place where you will learn the truth about who you are, why you're here, and where you're going.

But, before we get started, I want to tell you a little about myself. 

First of all, I. Am. NOT. Cool! In fact, I'm way UNCOOL. You see, I’m a 75-year-old Grandma. :)

I have been married to the same wonderful man for 51 years. We have two grown daughters, ages 47 and 43.  We also have six grandchildren: four girls ages 14, 13, 11, and 8, and two boys, ages 9 and 2. 

Second, I don't pretend to know it all. But one thing I do know for sure is that I love teens. And that includes YOU!

I decided to start this blog for one reason: God told me to. :)  That's reason enough to do anything, isn't it?

Why do you think He told me to start a blog for you? Because He loves you!  And He gave me a love for you, too. I want to see you grow up in wisdom and grace to become men and women who love God and love others.

I remember quite well what it was like to be 13 and 14 and 15 and 16 and 17 and 18 and 19, and I understand that you go through some rough times. Maybe even rougher than what I went through when I was 13 and 14 and 15 and 16 and 17 and 18 and 19.

Besides being a mother and grandmother, I’m a professional writer.  I use the writing gift God has given me to help others along the road of life. Since I’m a little older than you—or, a lot older :)—I hope that I can help you avoid some pitfalls along the way.

So, I’m writing this blog just for you. I hope you enjoy it.  Most of all, I hope you write to me with any questions you’d like to discuss. 

I want this to be a place where you can meet other teens your own age from all over the world and talk about the things that matter most in life.

So send me your questions, and we'll get started! :) 

Hugs,

Dr. MaryAnn Diorio (You can call me "Dr. D" for short. :))

IMPORTANT: Compliance with GDPR Regulations

Dear Gabriel Girl,
I know you have been bombarded lately with these notices but everyone, including me, is trying to be compliant with the new EU rules on privacy. Bottom line, you will need to give me permission if you’d like to continue receiving my blog, newsletters, giveaway offers, emails, and all correspondence from me.
If you are subscribed to my blog, Gabriel Girls, via Blogger.com, Blogspot.com, or any other venue, please contact Blogger.com, Blogspot.com, or your subscription venue and notify them that you wish to continue receiving my emails. Unless you do so, you will be removed from my mailing list. You may have already received a notice from Blogger.com or Blogspot.com or your RSS feed regarding updating your subscription. If so, please respond if you wish to continue receiving my blog posts. Again, if you do not respond, you will be removed from my mailing list. 
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect May 25 and requires me to obtain your explicit consent to send you my emails, newsletters, announcements, giveaway offers, and any other information. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I trust you understand my need to do this in order to continue to minister to you. 
Even if you are in the United States or non-EU countries, I need you to opt-in since I have no way of knowing where an email address originates. Sadly, if I don’t hear from you, your email address will be deleted and you will no longer receive my newsletters or other information. 
To recap: To continue receiving my blog posts, you will need to notify Blogger.com, Blogspot.com, or your RSS feed or other subscription venue  by May 24th. Tif you have received a notice from Blogger.com or Blogspot.com to confirm your subscription, please confirm. If you do not confirm, you will be removed from my mailing list.
Thank you very much for your kind cooperation. I deeply appreciate it. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Many Blessings,
MaryAnn Diorio
