"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you."
—B.B. King
As I wrote my "ABCs of Life" series of letters to my granddaughter, Michelle, I never imagined the positive feedback I would receive from the ActiveRain community. I have also sent a few of the letters to some trusted friends, who have also given positive feedback. What started as a personal project to share life lessons, values, and inspiration with her has resonated with many of you. Your feedback and encouragement have inspired me to take the next step: transforming this series into a book for a broader audience.
This book will involve some edits on the original letters, offering timeless wisdom and encouragement in an approachable, conversational format. Each letter will explore a keyword progressing from A - Z through the alphabet. My hope is that it will become a meaningful gift, perfect for young people embarking on new chapters in their lives, such as graduations, milestone birthdays, or other celebrations.
To appeal to diverse readers, I will be editing the content to suit different audiences. One edition will incorporate biblical references, but mostly it will focus on universal values that transcend faith or culture. My hope is that this book will serve as a source of encouragement for anyone seeking inspiration.
I would love your feedback on this series! Are there specific topics or themes you'd like to see included? Other than young adults, what audience do you think this book will appeal to? Do you have ideas for making the book more appealing to a broader audience? Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in the comments or reach out directly.
This is my first entry into ActiveRain's 2025 Challenge: Planning For Success, hosted by Leanne Smith and Will Hamm
