Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday with questions carefully chosen to help you collect stories in the oral tradition or spark your own writing. Either way, you'll say, "Thanks for the memories."A few days ago my friend and Linked In colleague, David E. Marlow asked folks how their week went, how was it wrestling with the dragon.I gave David’s question some thought before thanking him for his provocative post and adding my voice to the collective, like so: “As a (Chinese Zodiac) Water Dragon I find that it works better for me when we - Dragon and me - find ways to splash together. In the recent splashing - which can get quite vigorous given the size of my dragon - I realized that it is time to become wild and free, fierce and strong, beckoning the life I am meant to live, not fitting my life into something I'm not.”  Story Prompt: What is a new awareness you are beckoning to yourself and how does it feel? Share that story! Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.   All that matters is you have a story.This is the place to thrive together. Come for the stories - stay for the magic.  Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!
