“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings.” Teaching children values and giving them the opportunity to excel is essential to good parenting. However, I feel I must also provide my children (and myself) insight into the ones who came before us: our ancestors whose lives and stories have shaped us into who we are. This is my journey; these are their stories…

Discovering the Unique of Colorado
Hello Ann Marie,
It’s a new month and I wanted to check the writing challenges for July.
I think the latest essay I mentioned to you would apply for this first week. Almost 22 years ago, I was promoted to my dream job of building and managing a team of technical support engineers, it was going great until one of my new hires found herself in trouble.
I think you’ll find this an inspiring event as I still do to this day.
Please let me know what you think of: Jacquie’s Story.

Hi Ann Marie,
I have a second possible candidate for July. For the week of July 15 (Starting Over) I wrote up some of the adventures I had with a church youth group in a small nearby town. I almost got a couple of them killed and took this fact to heart to learn something about leading people. If angels are ever assigned guard duties – I sure kept a couple busy.
Please check out: https://garyawilsonstories.wordpress.com/my-penngrove-pivot/
and let me know if you think it meets your needs.
Thank you for sharing some of my previous stories. You have so many wonderful readers and I’m honored to be able share my essays with them.
Warmest regards,

Hi Ann Marie,
I love writer’s choice weeks because I don’t think my essays fit cleanly into most categories.
Anyway, I have a new story for your consideration for next week. It’s my reboot inspired by your high dive adventure.

Good Day good lady, Okay, what’s wrong with that URL above. What looks like the correct URL worked for me, but I tried to send it to you via my WP phone app rather than cracking open the laptop and it gave me grief. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were strange, unprintable characters in the link that would, of course, break it. Anyway, please accept my warmest greetings for the morning, my smile at finding you in my notification list and this (hopefully) cleaned up URL to my water adventures essay. Let me know if it still misbehaves and I’ll do deeper surgery.

Along with a visit to the pool where I had my first experience with a high dive, as one from Colorado, I hope you enjoy visiting the California Pacific ocean coastline with me again and this time, we’ll get very wet.playing with a couple of sea monsters.
