Hello to you listening in Flushing, Queens, New York! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Maybe like me you stop and wonder: who am I right now, how do I describe myself, what nourishes me?  It's scary, isn't it, not to have the answers. Perhaps there is great wisdom in resting there, not resisting, not pushing back, but trusting that the answer will come in due time. The poet Derek Walcott knows that while we may have forgotten who we are, who we are has not forgotten us. His poem, Love After Love, suggests a great joy in coming face-to-face with the one who knows us by heart:   Love After Love “The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.” [- by Derek Walcott] And thank you, for listening.

Hello to you listening in Charlottesville, Virginia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Here's the thing: I've hit The Dip. That place in most creative endeavors where you look around and wonder: Does anybody care? Does my work matter? What am I doing and for whom? Believe it or not, The Dip is a precious time. Now you get to dig deep and consider what's it for, who's it for, where is it needed? Not everyone wants or needs what you have to offer; but someone does! Lots of someones. Some years ago I was working as a shepherd at a fiber farm on the outskirts of Charlottesville, Virginia. Our neighbor raised organic goats for meat. Joe sold the meat to customers from the D.C Beltway area who knew a good thing and were happy to pay for it. But Joe wanted more. He was ready to venture out and teach people about the value of eating what he raised: organic food, sustainable, humanely harvested, no junk, and lots of pasture to graze. But where to go? He fixes up an old school bus as a traveling kitchen and visits each and every state and local fair in Virginia. Why? People go to fairs to eat food! But not his food. Fairs offer a lot of cheap fried food: onion blossoms, corn dogs, curly cut fries. Joe is offering 3 items: organic goat kabobs, organic goat curry and an organic goat skillet burger with all the fixins. While his prices are in keeping with what he's trying to sell, they are several times more than the competition at the fair. The food is foreign. No one will eat it except on a dare. Now what? Instead of lowering his prices or changing venues Joe decides to dig in and work on changing attitudes and appetites. At each fairgrounds he stands outside the mobile kitchen and shares his story: why goats, where they are pastured, who takes care of them, how they live, what makes this meat special, and why it's worth it. He prints up a flyer with his story and hands that out, too. Person by person the story draws them in, the goat meat dinners keep them there. It took time but he believed in what he was doing and for whom he was doing it. If this is you here's a tip from Joe:  “Some will. Some won't. Who's next?” As I repeat Joe's words I'm working my way out of The Dip. “Come for the stories; stay for the magic!”   CTA: If you want the story that will change minds, attitudes, behaviors, let's work together.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Schaumburg, Illinois! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. One summer afternoon Nasruddin was relaxing under a massive walnut tree. He looks up at the tiny walnuts hanging above him and then to a nearby garden patch of ripe watermelons growing on small vines. Nasruddin looks up to the sky and says, “Lord, your creation is wonderful, but sometimes illogical. Why would you hang tiny nuts on a giant tree, and huge melons on a thin, frail vine?" Just then, a walnut falls from the branches and hits him squarely on the head. Nasruddin says, “Forgive my desire to be right. If you had hung watermelons on this tree, I would be dead!" Maybe like me you've had practice with being a know-it-all, all the time. Let's face it: the need to be right is exhausting! So, why do we cling to being right? Culture, schooling, religion, family, and community all play a part in teaching us that being right is all about being perfect and perfect is desirable. But what has perfect ever done for you? Over time I've come face-to-face with this: I don't really know as much as I think I do. I concede to watermelons on the ground and walnuts in a tree. Story Prompt: Think of a time when you were okay to let go of the need to be right, to know it all, have it all, and be it all. What happened next? Write that story and share it out loud!

Hello to you listening in Bridgeport, Connecticut! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories from Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. On my Camino pilgrimage I received a small paper star  from someone I did not know to carry with me as a blessing, to remember that someone was watching over me as I walked. In turn, I'm sharing some blessings with you as you walk in your day: BLESSING FOR YOU May you eat an unfamiliar dessert in a foreign land at least once in your life. May you wake up to salsa music one summer morning, and start your day dancing. May you mix stripes with plaids, floral patterns with checks,  mismatch your socks, and add a floppy hat. May you be greeted by 20 flowers, 15 trees, 10 clouds and at least 1 extra-solar planet. If you bury your face in your tear-stained pillow and beg the Universe to please send you your soul mate, make sure you haven't slurred your teary words so they sound like "cell mate." May you dream of taking a trip to the moon in a gondola powered by firecrackers and wild swans. May you actually kneel and kiss the earth now and again.

Hello to you listening in Kyle, Canada!  Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday & your host, Diane Wyzga. A few years ago Paul King, writing from somewhere in America, wished for a Solidarity Saturday, and I created a podcast episode. Reading it anew my pulse went all fizzy with a plan to re-establish this simple collective action. I'd like to see every Saturday be "Solidarity Saturday." Each Saturday, at 10am in every time zone on earth, we all do a very simple act: Step outside our homes into the open and stand in silence for 10 minutes. Just show ourselves. Stand with neighbors. Come out and be seen together, our presence a protest. All over earth on every Saturday as each time zone hits 10am. Billions of us just stepping outside, showing ourselves, showing evil that we oppose it! Just walk out the door into the open. Not hard. CTA: Right Here. Right Now. Spread the good word like grape jelly on a toddler! Invite your friends and rellies all over the world to step outside and stand together at 10am in your time zone 10 minutes on each Solidarity Saturday. Let me know, from where will you be joining us?  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Pristina, Kosovo! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. The things we take for granted, like a song we've heard over and over. I wondered: what's the story behind “I Won't Back Down” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers?  "I Won't Back Down" was born from sheer defiance after a targeted act of arson in May 1987 burned Tom Petty's Los Angeles home to the ground. Petty refused to move away. Instead, he rebuilt on the same plot of land and channeled his trauma into a song of defiance. The message of resilience in the face of adversity became a universal mantra for overcoming any struggle.     Maybe like me you've acted against your own better wisdom, saying 'yes' instead of 'no', going along to get along, or something else. You know what I'm talking about. Maybe like me you finally figured out a better way to live. We've got just one life. In a world that keeps pushing us around we stand our ground, we won't back down! Story Prompt: When have you backed down because someone or something was pushing you around? No more.  You know how to stand your ground! Write that story and share it out loud!   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Singapore! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. One night Nasrudin was on his hands and knees under a street lamp. Friends finding him there asked: What are you doing? Nasrudin tells them he's looking for the keys to his house. His friends help him look for the dropped keys. This goes on for some time until one friend asks: Nasrudin, are you sure this is where you dropped them?  Oh no, Nasrudin replied, I dropped them across the road, but it was too dark to see; so I came over here where the light is better... Maybe like me this is how it goes for you, too: looking for Life in all the wrong places. But my Life knows me and where I should be headed; in time it nudges me in the right direction back to my true self.   Practical Tip: We can do ourselves a world of good to remember that our true selves began as open and curious, whole and wonderful. Instead of searching in the dark for how to become someone else, we could turn our face to the light of day and cherish the never before, never after, one-of-a-kind being we already are. Imagine that! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

A lo largo de la historia, las sociedades han imaginado el fin del mundo no solo como catástrofe, sino también como promesa: la destrucción del orden corrupto y la llegada de una edad nueva. Como ahora, ya en la Edad Media esa esperanza tomó forma religiosa o pseudocientífica con el apocalipsis, la figura del anticristo, el juicio final, las cruzadas y diversas profecías. Hoy reaparece en lenguajes que aparentan ciencia, revelación extraterrestre, una nueva era, conspiraciones, transhumanismo, colapsismo climático o tecnológico… y mucho dinero detrás, mientras se va inoculando en las sociedades, a la vez, miedo, violencia y esperanza. Eso sí, no sabemos en qué. En Observador Global, queremos entender la geopolítica del milenarismo (¡qué va a llegar! como gritaba Arrabal), más allá del “magufismo” eso sí, y comprobar que en épocas de crisis creemos en el final de los tiempos expandiéndose una ansiedad colectiva que funciona gracias a los nuevos milenarismos. Todo ello en una estructura sorprendentemente parecida a la de muchos otros en la historia, pero con una velocidad y una difusión inéditas. Hoy en Observador Global, hablemos del milenarismo, hombre ya. OGP es un podcast de El Abrazo del Oso Producciones dirigido por Javier Fernández Aparicio y Eduardo Moreno Navarro.

Hello to you listening in Karachi, Pakistan! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Maybe like me you've failed more times than you can count. Is it possible to use our failures to encourage a new opportunity, a do-over even? Yes. How do I know? I've learned from the best! Wile E. Coyote is the quintessentially resilient cartoon character who pursues Road Runner with disastrous gadgets purchased from a fictional mail-order company called ACME. Giant magnets, rocket-powered roller skates, earthquake pills, invisible paint, and movable tunnel entrances always backfire. Coyote never ever catches the Road Runner, but does that stop him? No! Do we want Coyote to catch Road Runner? No! We want to see what Coyote will do next. Failure stops creativity when we or someone else says "Give up!" But! When we refuse to give up failure encourages creativity because that's the job of failure. Never underestimate the power of your persistent efforts to begin anew. Life expects do-overs!

Hello to you listening in Guadalupe, Mexico! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. The Camino de Santiago de Compostella is fairly well marked with yellow arrows painted by volunteers and images of scallop shells pointing the way west. But every once in a while - like life - the way is unclear, unmarked, hidden even. You can get lost. I learned this the hard way. Now what? You must stop and listen to your own knowing. Silence the noise, the fearful chatter, the doubtful distractions about which way to go, what to do next. Your own knowing will help you out when you ask. And time. And your experience. Stand still. Be quiet. Listen. Choose your way. Walk on. Story Prompt: When have you walked your way from lost into the clear? Write that story and share it out loud!   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Canberra, Australia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Here on Whidbey Island our Pacific Rim Institute for Environmental Stewardship is home to prairie, savanna and forest with over 50 species of rare native grasses and flowers including camas. Native across the Pacific Northwest, the stunning violet-blue flowers of camas historically lit up prairies, marshes, and oak savannahs. Camas once dominated open clearings carefully tended by First Nations people to maintain optimal growing conditions. Camas bulbs were dug in the fall and pit roasted to release simple sweet caramelized sugars, providing a staple food for thousands of years. In the early spring there are no camas flowers to be seen. Do the camas exist? Indeed they do but they have not yet manifested. The bulbs are lying in wait for the right blend of sun and warmth and rain to bloom. Practical Tip: We tend to think in terms of something existing or not existing; but that is not reality. When we pay careful attention we discover that what we're waiting for is there, hidden, for when the time is right to manifest. And it will because what we're waiting for is waiting for us.

El terrorismo continúa siendo una amenaza global persistente, pese a una disminución general de su actividad. En 2025, tanto el número de muertes como el de incidentes terroristas descendieron. Sin embargo, la distribución del terrorismo sigue siendo desigual, concentrándose en determinadas regiones y desplazándose geográficamente, incluso mientras numerosos países registran mejoras en su nivel general de impacto terrorista. Estas son las conclusiones del Índice Global de Terrorismo (Global Terrorism Index en inglés), elaborado por el Instituto para la Economía y la Paz, un centro de pensamiento independiente, no partidista y sin ánimo de lucro dedicado a promover una visión del mundo centrada en la paz como objetivo, así como en el progreso y el bienestar humano.

En los últimos años, el ascenso de China ha dejado de ser una historia de mero crecimiento económico para convertirse, cada vez con mayor claridad, en una transformación profunda del equilibrio militar global. Lo que durante décadas fue un ejército numeroso, con más de 2 millones de soldados, pero tecnológicamente rezagado, hoy se redefine como una fuerza en rápida modernización, capaz de competir —y en algunos ámbitos, incluso de aproximarse— al liderazgo militar de Estados Unidos. Hablamos de un salto cualitativo: inversiones masivas, innovación en inteligencia artificial, capacidades espaciales, guerra cibernética, misiles hipersónicos o una marina que ya rivaliza en capacidad con la estadounidense y la supera en tamaño. Pero más allá de las cifras, lo verdaderamente relevante es el cambio de paradigma, pues China no solo quiere defender su entorno inmediato, sino proyectar poder y disputar la primacía estratégica en regiones clave como el Indo-Pacífico. Diseccionamos las claves del colosal despegue militar chino. OGP es un podcast de El Abrazo del Oso Producciones dirigido por Javier Fernández Aparicio y Eduardo Moreno Navarro.

Hello to you listening in Greeley, Colorado! Coming to you from Whidbey Island Washington, this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I believe that our November to May Rain Festival is nearly over. Here in the Pacific Northwest we welcome clear skies, sunshine, warm weather, less winter burden, and maybe even dropping our shoulders from the habitual “fight or flight” response to the world that continues spinning on an axis of uncertain madness.  Habit. It's like that story about a team of pack animals struggling their way up a mountainside. The last pony in line was wearing a saddle but the horse just ahead of him was burdened with boxes and bags and baskets. The pony said: Good grief, what a heavy load you're carrying! The horse turned it's head and asked: What load? Like that horse we get used to carrying so much we don't even realize it. Practical Tip: Right now, in this moment stop, take a few deeps breaths, gently ease your shoulders away from your ears and smile to them; thank them for what they've been carrying for you and tell them that in the future you will take care to burden them less. Then wait for a moment while they smile back at you.    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together. AND!  Stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website during reconstruction, check out the Communication Services, email me [info@quartermoonstoryarts.net] to arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as Quarter Moon Story Arts on Substack.

Hello to you listening in Lopez Island, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Why is my Quarter Moon Story Arts logo a lighthouse? I was inspired! Admiralty Head Lighthouse here on Whidbey Island served as a critical navigational guide back in the day of sailing ships traveling from the Pacific Ocean through the treacherous Strait of San Juan de Fuca. Sixteen miles from Admiralty Inlet ship captains could see the white light in the darkness warning them to steer a hard right to starboard, avoid the cliffs, and continue safely south through Puget Sound and on to Seattle. How did the captain know he was seeing Admiralty Head Lighthouse? Each lighthouse - no matter where in the world - has its very own distinctive light pattern, or signature, like an address on a house. Lighthouses mark points of navigation, warn about dangerous coastlines, and guide ships into safe harbor. But harbors are not created equal. Different harbors for different boats. A lighthouse stationed at a harbor entrance doesn't run up and down the coast beckoning all boats to its harbor. It serves a particular sized boat. Lighthouses don't chase boats; why do you chase clients? Question: What is it only you have to offer? Who needs and wants it? Who is meant to be drawn to your harbor? How will you attract your particular client with your own distinctive beacon of light? And, how will they know you are signaling them? CTA: If you could use a hand with your lighthouse questions, email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net and we'll get working on the answers. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Create Space, Langley, Washington!  Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Not too very long ago I saw a man wearing a tee shirt with these words: “Many things in life will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart. Follow those.” He was gone before I could ask him: What's the story behind your tee shirt?  How did you come to have it? What things in life have caught your eye? What caught your heart? And when you followed those what happened next? Today more than ever women need the stories that catch their heart. The storytelling tradition is alive in you. Each time you share a story, you've grown. You catch something new. You see yourself differently. As a woman navigating a professional world that doesn't always invite your full story, you may have learned to edit yourself — to show up with credentials and minimize the rest. But your personal narrative is your most powerful asset. It connects, persuades, inspires, and leads. You don't have to wait for permission to tell your story. This is your invitation to discover the stories shaping your life, and to unlock the full power and energy of your voice. Because when women tell their true stories, they don't just change the room. They change what's possible. Your voice is ready. Are you? CTA: I'll be offering more classes on The Art & Craft of Telling Personal Stories at Create Space, at gatherings on Whidbey Island, and online. Learn more here and on Substack as we build a story community of women for women.   And thank you for listening! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Helsinki, Finland! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. These days it takes more than the usual effort to stop trying to burst people into flames with my mind.   What's going on? What isn't? The craziness is triggering our uncertainties, raising our blood pressure, interrupting our sleep, and worse. My dad used to say, Diane, Nie mój cyrk. Nie moje małpy. Not my circus - not my monkeys!   Practical Tip: Do not sell your soul for peanuts to feed the monkeys at the circus. It's not your circus. It's not your monkeys. Instead, find a moment of beauty and shelter in that for now. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

El agua es vida, y también es poder. En un mundo cada vez más poblado, más cálido e interconectado, el control del agua será uno de los grandes ejes de la geopolítica global. Así, no veremos necesariamente guerras declaradas por el agua, pero sí conflictos donde el agua será el factor invisible que los alimenta. Hoy abordamos un recurso tan esencial como disputado y tan invisible como estratégico: el agua, un elemento que, lejos de ser solo fuente de vida, se está convirtiendo en una herramienta de poder, presión y conflicto en el siglo XXI. Si el petróleo marcó las guerras del siglo XX, todo apunta a que el agua marcará muchas de las tensiones del XXI si no lo está haciendo ya.

Hello to you listening in San Jose, California! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. If you don't know where you're going, how do you know you're on the right track, how close you are, not headed to somewhere else, or even, if you've arrived? Lazily drifting on a river of a summer afternoon is a worthy use of time. But if you want to move along with purpose, focus your energy, and track your progress, the smart and savvy traveler will define her destination, break the journey into manageable phases, and keep heading intentionally, consistently toward the place she wants to be. She also keeps track of where she's been to know how far she's come along the path. As the old ones say, When we understand where we've been and where we're headed, we clarify the potential we have to make our ideas, visions and goals come true.   Story Prompt: Think of a moment in time when you felt lost. Where have you come from? Where are you now? Where are you headed? How will you get there? Write that story and share it out loud!     You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Hello to you women professionals listening wherever your feet touch the ground! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   Since the beginning of time, humans have connected with each other by gathering together to share our stories.  Around ancient fires, elders recited genealogies aloud while listeners traced how their own lives wove into the larger tapestry of the tribe. Creation tales, love stories, acts of heroism were passed from voice to heart, generation after generation. Some cultures believe that each time you hear a story, you arrive as a different person seeing the characters and plot line through fresh eyes. That's the quiet magic of telling personal tales: you see how far you've traveled and who you're becoming. Though many of our formal storytelling traditions have faded, they don't have to stay lost. You can reclaim that power in your family, your community, your career. Your stories matter. Your voice carries energy that no written word can fully capture. CTA: This is your invitation to discover the stories you've been living and learn to tell them effectively with the full resonance of who you are. When women share their stories, something powerful happens. Come find out what that is. Email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net for a no-obligation Discovery Chat. Thank you for listening.

Hoy, el Kurdistán vuelve a situarse en el centro de la geopolítica de Oriente Medio. Tras la derrota del Estado Islámico en 2019 gracias en gran parte a las milicias kurdas —tanto los peshmerga en Irak como las fuerzas kurdas en Siria— el fin del califato no resolvió la cuestión kurda, sino que simplemente abrió una nueva etapa de violencia y opresión, en especial desde la Turquía de Erdogán, más la inestabilidad en Irak o Irán, donde confluyen los intereses de Estados Unidos o la propia Turquía. Ataques continuos golpean ciudades, bases y grupos kurdos asentados en esta zona montañosa. Todo esto ocurre en torno a un pueblo repartido entre cuatro países, de una historia y cultura que se remontan a muchos siglos y que sigue siendo hoy la mayor comunidad sin Estado del mundo. Pero entender el Kurdistán no es solo mirar al pasado —a las rebeliones, a los tratados incumplidos o a los imperios del ayer y el hoy—, sino también comprender cómo ese territorio fragmentado sigue siendo una pieza clave en el tablero geopolítico actual de Oriente Medio, para desgracia de los kurdos, cabría añadir. En definitiva, hoy en Observador Global nos vamos al Kurdistán. OGP es un podcast de El Abrazo del Oso Producciones dirigido por Javier Fernández Aparicio y Eduardo Moreno Navarro.

Hello to you listening in Grants Pass, Oregon! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Once upon a time there was a young girl who lived with her wicked stepmother and wicked stepsister. One day the girl went to the well to fetch water. While there an old crone asked her for a drink of the cold water she was drawing up from the well. The girl gave her a drink and as a reward for her kindness the crone said, “Each time you speak pearls, jewels and roses will fall from your lips.” Seeing this magic the wicked stepmother sent the wicked stepsister to the well to claim her own reward. At the well a beautiful princess asks for water; but the wicked stepsister says, “Draw your own water! I'm not your servant.” “Ah,” said the princess, “That is unfortunate. From this day forward scorpions, lizards and toads will fall from your lips when you speak.” Click HERE to learn more  Story Prompt: What if we could see our words even before we spoke them? How might we practice kindness and loving speech? Write that story and share it out loud!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Aukland, New Zealand! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I've been walking in the rain to settle my restless, anxious spirit. I live in Washington. It rains. If don't walk in the rain I'd probably never walk.   As I walked I reflected on something my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh said about people and the sturdiness of trees, “When you look at the tree during the storm you can see that the top of the tree is not solid. You can only see the tiny branches and a number of leaves on the top of the tree swaying back and forth under the effect of the wind. You have the impression that the tree is very vulnerable but if you look down to see the big branches and the trunk of the tree you see that the tree is strongly rooted in the ground. The impression that the tree is vulnerable will vanish. You see that the tree is much more solid than it looks at the top. We are like that, too." Practical Tip: When you feel anxious, uncertain or vulnerable you can practice to get solid and peaceful again. The stability of your body will help bring about the stability of your mind. Sit beautifully and practice saying: “Breathing in I see myself grounded, breathing out I feel solid, peaceful.” And so you will become. Guaranteed.

Hello to you listening in Alexandria, Virginia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Growing up in a family of 9 I remember a never-ending stack of dishes, cups, bowls and silverware to wash and dry. There was also the never-ending arguing about whose job it was to wash the dishes. Eventually our parents caved and bought a dishwasher; but the arguing didn't end there. Did you know there is a right way and a wrong way to stack items in a dishwasher? Who knew? Dishes face this way, cups face that way, silverware goes like so. One person's different system was perceived as wrong by someone else. Believe it or not, one of the advantages of living in a big family is the ever-present teaching moment, like this one: "Just because you do things differently, you are not wrong.” Story Prompt: When in your personal or professional life have you done something differently only to be told it was wrong? What happened next? Write that story and share it out loud!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

We want another rewrite of the story before we're willing to share it out loud. We want our work to be perfect. But what did perfect ever do for you? Your being perfect won't help the world get better; but I guarantee you that shipping your imperfect work into the world will. How do I know? I've seen it happen. I'm not saying my imperfect work changes the world; but I‘m not saying it doesn't. When we trust ourselves to ship our imperfect work, we gain an opportunity to feel the magic of taking a leap of faith, welcome the unexpected, and connect with someone who has been waiting for our work.

De nuevo, la actualidad manda. Los previsibles bombardeos estadounidenses sobre Irán de hace unos días y la muerte de los dirigentes iraníes, en especial el ayatolá Jameini, apoyado por su aliado israelí y con la aquiescencia logística de las potencias europeas como Reino Unido, Francia y Alemania, han evidenciado la vieja geopolítica anglosajona para la región: el llamado “Gran Juego”, a la vez que es otra muestra de la hipocresía del mundo hobbesiano en el que vivimos hoy: como en Irak, Ucrania, Venezuela o ahora Irán, se alude antes a una serie de reuniones diplomáticas para evitar la guerra, con el fin de ganar tiempo para lanzar el ataque e iniciar la guerra. Hoy abordamos un tema crucial para entender la geopolítica del siglo XXI y quizás estemos ante los prolegómenos de esa guerra mundial explícita a la que parece que vamos sonámbulos: cómo la presencia y la política estratégica de Estados Unidos están reconfigurando la región que abarca desde Siria hasta Pakistán, un eje que enlaza el Levante, el Golfo Pérsico y Asia Meridional, y que hoy vive una encrucijada entre rivalidades locales, grandes potencias y conflictos internos.

Hoy en Observador Global abordamos un tema del que apenas ningún medio informa, pero que dice mucho de la geopolítica actual desde que Mr. Trump volvió a la Casa Blanca. El acuerdo extractivo con la República Democrática del Congo, la gran promesa de potencia de África. Lo analizaremos de la mano de un informe llamativo del Oakland Institute y un artículo de su directora Anuradha Mittal.

Hello to you listening in South Bend, Indiana!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk With 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  The line on the birthday card from my sister goes like this: “The sun is up and you are alive to see it. Start there.” [Lin-Manuel Miranda] It's just what I need to light my way in the early morning dark to the coffee pot in the kitchen.  Following are 5 inspirations chosen for you. Dance with the one that calls today:  “Well, I've often felt that dreams are answers to questions we haven't yet figured out how to ask.” [David Duchovny playing the character Fox Mulder The X-Files 1995)]“Roll out, snakes! It's daylight in the swamp!” [The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich]“Always remember Bilbo, when your heart wants lifting, think of pleasant things...  Eggs and bacon. A good, full pipe. My garden at twilight.” [Gandalf & Bilbo Baggins]"When nothing's working, it might be a cosmic conspiracy to get you to experiment." [Caroline Casey]“What's really important is not the big things others have created but the continuous, each-by-each little things you are bringing into being. Never underestimate your singular power as a creator.” [Diane Wyzga]And thank you for listening.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Gaborone, Botswana!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you have spent time looking for something even if you don't know what it is.  After feeling stuck in the cross-roads of my life where the true way was wholly lost to me, I set out on a new road. I left everything I knew: a home, a community of 20 years, a successful national litigation consulting practice and drove 1500 miles north washing up on the shores of Whidbey Island. Why Whidbey? Pretty place, nice people, good pie.Little by little over the past 7 years I've cobbled together a home, a community, my Quarter Moon Story Arts business, a global podcast (still holding in the top 3% worldwide), and being of use.I'm forging the life I want even if I don't know all that it could be.  I'm curious to learn, “What happens next? And now what?”Story Prompt: What you're looking for is looking for you. How are you preparing yourself to meet it?

Hello to you listening in Corning, New York!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.One of the first signs of recognition a new mother looks for in her infant is - a smile. Look! She's smiling at me! Yes! Baby sees you. Baby recognizes you.From earliest days we are cued to the smiles of other human beings. Remember what we missed in the COVID time with masks masking our smiles? Sure, we crinkled our eyes to signal a smile but it wasn't the same as receiving a smile from another human. Sometimes the tone of our voice was a good substitute. The “music of the spoken word” stood in for our smile. We did the best we could with what we had.  Like a smile, the "music of the spoken word" brings written text to life with inflection, pause, tone, emphasis, and  cadence. Reading text alone is quick, cheap, and easy but the human voice lends expression and emotional meaning.I create each 60 Seconds episode with you in mind to offer a measure of hope, delight and imagination, as well as thoughts to ponder, stories to share, a practical tip to lighten and brighten your day. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my podcast episodes. My voice is me smiling at you.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Mountain View, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  Hand on heart: I can still behave like an over-stretched, over-committed, dutiful, responsible, and driven first-born daughter. Do it right or don't do it at all.Maybe like me you find yourself doing it all wrong by trying to do it all right. We have these notions--born of long-ago outdated, outmoded stories--about what we're supposed to do, have, create, earn, market, publish, reconfigure, reorganize, envision, and connect. But I can't and I don't want to do it all perfectly. I want to Be rather messy in my life.  Practical Tip: Let's stop for a moment. How would it feel if we “should” less on our own good selves? What if - even for a moment - we invite the power of the pause, peace and space. Did you just breathe a deep sigh of relief? Perhaps drop your shoulders? Maybe even smile at your silly human self? Me, too. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Falkenstein, Germany!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Like a story in the making we are balanced between what was and what will be. All we need is the middle: what happened.  A whole story can be daunting to write; but a sentence is manageable to give you a structure that gets you started. This 3-part template is designed to celebrate the challenges you have overcome, the doubts you have erased, and the fears you have undone to change what was to what is.Three phrases and you fill in the blanks, like so:  If you had told me 20 years ago that I would [fill in the blank]I might have [fill in the blank]but instead if you could see me now I'm [fill in the blank].Here's mine: "If you had told me 20 years ago that I would walk 500 miles across Spain estoy solo on a 5-week pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago carrying all I needed in a red backpack weighing 15 pounds I might have snorted my coffee and shaken my head in disbelief at such a ridiculous notion but instead if you could see me now having made that journey when I uncovered what I love and discovered who I am ... now ready for next ... come what may!"  Story Prompt: Now you.

Hello to you listening in Hannover, Germany!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  Once upon a time long ago and far away there lived a farmer. His most treasured possession was a fine stallion. Oh my, said the neighbors: what good fortune to own such a fine horse! Perhaps, said the farmer.One night the stallion ran off in a storm. Oh no, said the neighbors, what a disaster to lose your horse! Perhaps, said the farmer.But after some time the stallion came back and following him a mare and a pony. Oh my, said the neighbors: what good fortune! You had no horses and now you have 3! Perhaps, said the farmer.        One day the farmer's son galloped off on the mare, hit the branch of a tree, fell to the ground, and badly broke his leg. Neighbors found him, carried him home and said, Oh no, what a disaster for your poor son. Perhaps, said the farmer.The son was in bed with his broken leg when a tribe from the north descended on the village. Every able-bodied man and boy went out to defend their homes and farms. Many died that day. But the farmer's son who could not fight —through no fault of his own— was spared. Oh my, said the neighbors, what good fortune your son was spared! Perhaps, said the farmer.And so the old ones say that just beneath good fortune crouches disaster but always perched above disaster one finds good fortune and it is impossible to know which is really which.Story Prompt: Life shows up in such integrated complexity, how can we know whether what happens is good or bad?  What about you? How do you know what's what? Write that story and share it out loud!    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening all around the world this Christmas Eve!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.It's that time of year when it feels like the hurrier we go the behinder we get. I have a solution for you. For just a moment let us breathe and practice keeping still this Silent Night with Pablo Neruda. KEEPING QUIET  "Now we will count to twelveand we will all keep stillfor once on the face of the earth,let's not speak in any language;let's stop for a second,and not move our arms so much. It would be an exotic momentwithout rush, without engines;we would all be togetherin a sudden strangeness. Fishermen in the cold seawould not harm whalesand the man gathering saltwould look at his hurt hands. Those who prepare green wars,wars with gas, wars with fire,victories with no survivors,would put on clean clothesand walk about with their brothersin the shade, doing nothing. What I want should not be confusedwith total inactivity.Life is what it is about;I want no truck with death. If we were not so single-mindedabout keeping our lives moving,and for once could do nothing,perhaps a huge silencemight interrupt this sadnessof never understanding ourselvesand of threatening ourselves with death. Perhaps the earth can teach usas when everything seems deadand later proves to be alive. Now I'll count up to twelveand you keep quiet and I will go."

Hello to you listening in Jakarta, Indonesia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.As the old ones say, “If we are not grateful for what we have in this present moment, what makes us think we will be happy with more?”  Maybe it's true and maybe it isn't but long ago and far away there lived a man in a small country village. He had everything he had ever asked for: friends, livelihood, wife, family - and yet and yet something was stirring in him: Looking around he asked himself, Is this all there is? Perhaps I am meant for something more, something better. Perhaps I should go and seek my happiness outside the village.One summer morning he left his home, carefully closed the garden gate behind him and walked away. He walked for miles and miles until he could no longer see where he had been. Night fell and he found himself deep in a dark forest. Having no other shelter he took off his shoes, spread his coat on the ground, and fell asleep against the trunk of a tree for he was very tired.Watching him sleep his angel shook her head at the folly of his adventure. But what could she do? She could turn his shoes around facing them back in the direction from which he came. And so she did.When the man awoke he pulled on his coat, put his feet into his shoes and began to walk. After many miles of walking the man began to see familiar fields, a few farmhouses, a village - all looking very much like what he had left; but how could that be? People in the village market greeted him as if he was familiar to them; but how could that be? Arriving at a cottage with a garden gate he was startled to be greeted by children and a woman as if he were their long lost father and husband; but how could that be? They welcomed him inside, took off his shoes, sat him at a table very much like one he knew, fed him food that tasted like home; but how could that be?To this very day the man lives with that family in that home in that village and wonders, “If this isn't happiness, what is?”  As the old ones say, “If we are not grateful for what we have in this present moment, what makes us think we will be happy with more?”  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"
