This is a beautiful piece that I look forward to sharing with my students. I predict many of them will connect the high dive to their next big rite of passage: leaving their comfortable, familiar elementary for middle school.<br />TamaraTamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660363677243450442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-13681128771497740502012-03-01T20:25:39.665-07:002012-03-01T20:25:39.665-07:00I remember how rough the diving board's surfac...I remember how rough the diving board's surface was...so we wouldn't fall until we wanted to jump. I never did get the courage to dive. I want to do this month- last year reading your blog was the first time I heard of it and now I'm taking the plunge. I love your writing Carol !Nanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135130889558068676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-7067212863289137172012-03-01T19:45:21.899-07:002012-03-01T19:45:21.899-07:00I love the analogy of the high dive and this Chall...I love the analogy of the high dive and this Challenge, and let me tell you, I get it! To this day, I'm still scared of the high dive, and I am feeling a little intimidated about writing for 31 days in a row. Thanks so much for pointing out I should just focus on one small step at a time. I can't wait to follow the rest of your slices!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549453373381775445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-39042289935618165482012-03-01T19:11:16.050-07:002012-03-01T19:11:16.050-07:00Did you live in my neighborhood?

This slice will encourage everyone.

I understand about life being full, but this -- this community, this writing, this challenge, this is what keeps me sane!!!

I'm excited, nervous, and yet like you, I've decided to dive in and see where the tide takes me. Time is a huge factor, but I truly believe we'll both find a slice of time to write. : )Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786457482835741494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-25439935306696654402012-03-01T14:57:54.742-07:002012-03-01T14:57:54.742-07:00Carol,

I love that paragraph when you describe the first time you jumped-put us right there! And the father support is wonderful to hear about, is kind of like all of us shouting at you, you can do it, we'll be here! Looking forward to the month with you!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-28687687815934854102012-03-01T04:27:15.903-07:002012-03-01T04:27:15.903-07:00I have a similar memory.

I feel like I was inching further and further as I tossed around the idea of doing this challenge this week. Thank you for putting it in perspective and helping me realize to take it one day at a time. <br /><br />You have acquired at least one daily reader. :-)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03216948224543402036noreply@blogger.com
