This week on Face the Nation, as the U.S. war with Iran approaches the 5 month mark, both sides are searching for a diplomatic off-ramp.After nearly two weeks of striking targets across Iran following the collapse of the short-lived ceasefire earlier this month, the Trump administration paused its bombardment for two straight days for the first time, as diplomatic talks over the Strait of Hormuz show signs of progress.With our new CBS poll showing continuing unease about the war's direction, we ask U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz whether a peace deal is any closer.Then, with midterm elections around the corner, Congress faces a daunting to-do list of must-pass legislation to fund the government and the war. We hear from Senators John Kennedy and Bernie Sanders on both foreign policy and politics. Plus, an update on measles, cyclosporiasis and the state of our public health policy with former FDA Commissioner Doctor Scott Gottlieb.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga Pull up a chair and let's talk about something I've been exploring lately. It's the “depth of inquiry” that steers a nice essay into a memorable story. That sounds a bit academic, right? But here on Front Porch Friday© what it really means is the difference between just surviving your life, and actually understanding the truth of what you've lived through. Too often, as women, we get into the habit of just reporting the facts. We tell our stories like a laundry list of events. "I raised the kids, I worked the job, I did what was expected, and now I'm here." There's no story magic because you are missing. We do the same thing when we speak out loud to the world—we say what's polite, or what keeps the peace, instead of saying what we actually mean. Think about a moment where you had to say a hard "no" to someone, or maybe you finally picked up a hobby you abandoned years ago. The surface story is simple: "I was too busy for another commitment," or "I just wanted a new creative project." But looking deeper we feel the memorable story.  The truth is more than protecting your calendar or buying art supplies; you realized that your time and your passions don't belong to everyone else anymore. You decided that you are finally ready to be seen and heard exactly as you are, without adapting yourself so others feel comfortable. That shift right there? That is “depth of inquiry.” It's stopping the report and starting the investigation, the exciting archeological dig on your life. Story Prompt: As you go about your day, take a deep look past the surface of your own daily routine as if gazing into a wishing well. Don't just report the facts of your life to yourself. Find the glimmering coins of a deeper truth under the surface; write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, please 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.

Heidi Murphy sent a picture: "Sorry. Just found this note. So I'm attaching that picture now. It's 2026 and this year I celebrated by going to see Danu and then by playing bodhran and tin whistle at home. Let me just say Danu was magnificent. LOVED it!!!" Kelly Garrod emailed: "Hi Marc, The music featured on your podcast has always been wonderful with good information from your comments.  I prefer listening to the version with comments rather than the music only.  I believe you do a good job of featuring wonderful Celtic music, featuring new artists that I might otherwise never hear while providing comments on both the music and views of the world.  The comments are concise, do not distract from the overall experience of the podcast and relevant to many of the stories in the music you feature. This is to let you know that I appreciate your political comments with your perspective on various topics.  In today's political world, I believe it is important to articulate those viewpoints on any platform we have.  Since I keep a low social media profile, and have limited options, I am pleased to support one that I regularly support. As a Patreon of your podcast for many years, I plan to keep supporting your work for many years to come.  Please keep doing the good stuff you are doing! Thanks"

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Maybe like me you love hearing stories by women who know who they are. They don't waste words on small talk. They don't give "nice" little speeches. When they speak, the whole room stops. Many of us spend our lives doing the exact opposite. We say what we think people want to hear. We shy away from speaking our truth, offering our ideas. For example, recall a time when you spoke up in a meeting. The surface story is: “I pitched an idea, it got rejected, and I sat down.” That's a report, not a story. The real story happens when you ask yourself why rejection stung so bad. It wasn't about the project; it was the moment you sat down and realized you've been shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable—and you're finally done with that. The memorable story—the one that sits in your chest—arises from your “depth of inquiry.” You're not looking for glory; you're fighting for your right to be seen and heard. TIP: Expressing yourself creatively isn't about being showy. It's about standing in your own shoes, saying exactly what you mean, and meaning what you say. Speak your truth like you know what you're talking about... because you do.  And, I can help.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am delighted to spotlight my friend, writer and devoted flyfisher, Jeff Ikler, host of Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity podcast as he talks with his guest Tom Reed, explorer, writer, landscape photographer, and wellness coach. Episode Notes excerpt: “The conversation explores how skill and serendipity intersect in creative work, the role of mindfulness in perceiving opportunities, and the thread of vitality that connects Reed's diverse pursuits. The discussion also turns to climate change and environmental degradation, with Reed emphasizing acceptance without apathy—a stance rooted in spiritual maturity and non-judgment. Ultimately, Reed's work invites us to reconsider why certain landscapes move us so profoundly—and what that says about our relationship to the natural world.” NOTE: Direct Episode Links to What Can Standing in Awe of the Natural World Teach Us? featuring Tom Reed are available below across multiple platforms, plus hundreds more Getting Unstuck episodes, and links to contact Tom Reed & Jeff Ikler.

Larry Keigwin, dancer, choreographer and artistic director of KEIGWIN + COMPANY, joined The Adult Ballet Studio for a bonus episode! Keigwin is a native New Yorker, choreographer, and curator who has danced his way from the Metropolitan Opera to Broadway and back. He has created 30 works, including his community-based piece for all ages - Rhapsody - that kicked off Lincoln Center's Summer for the City festival this year.This community dance work featured 40 New Yorkers, and the group was made up of dancers and non-dancers of all ages and backgrounds. Each version of Rhapsody is shaped by its location and ensemble of dancers and celebrates making art, humanity and shared space. Lincoln center's Summer for the City festival is even more dance focused than before thanks to the launch of The Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance, which anchors this year's festival. The season features New York-based talent as well as artists from around the world, wellness events, and education initiatives that are all offered for free or choose-what-you-pay. The collaborative also paves the way for Lincoln Center's inaugural Contemporary Dance Festival – a new festival that will be offered each summer and winter.

Damian recaps his trip to Amsterdam for the inaugural Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026.What started as an awards ceremony quickly became a full festival of cocktails, with bar takeovers, brand activations, industry events, parties and a green-carpet ceremony bringing together some of the best bars in Europe.From Rosewood Amsterdam's stunning Advocatuur bar and the Meet the Bartenders media event, to the main Europe's 50 Best Bars ceremony at De Kromhouthal and the rooftop closing party at LuminAir, Damian gives a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when 50 Best rolls into town.He also reflects on the key themes shaping the European cocktail scene in 2026, including Athens' dominance, the continued strength of London cocktail bars and Barcelona cocktail bars, the rise of Central and Eastern Europe, and the importance of genuine hospitality alongside technical innovation.Key TakeawaysEurope's 50 Best Bars 2026 felt much bigger than a single awards night. Amsterdam became the centre of the European cocktail world, with pop-ups, parties, brand activations and some of the best bartenders in Europe gathering across the city.Athens had a huge showing, with Line taking the No.1 spot and The Bar in Front of The Bar coming in at No.2, underlining just how strong the Greek cocktail scene has become.London remains a major force in the best bars in Europe conversation, with bars including The Connaught Bar, Satan's Whiskers, Tayēr + Elementary, Panda & Sons, Waltz, Kwãnt Mayfair, Three Sheets Soho and Scarfes Bar all appearing on the list.Panda & Sons deserve a special mention, coming in at No.20 and also picking up the Siete Misterios Best Cocktail Menu Award.Barcelona continues to be one of Europe's most important cocktail cities, with Sips, Paradiso, Aldea, Boadas, Foco and others showing the depth of the city's bar scene.Central and Eastern Europe are becoming increasingly important on the cocktail map, with strong placements from bars in Bratislava, Tirana, Prague and Krakow.Sustainability, fermentation, low-waste practices, hyper-local ingredients and strong storytelling are clearly shaping modern cocktail culture.At the same time, the best cocktail bars are still the ones that combine technical skill with warmth, simplicity, personality, atmosphere and genuine hospitality.HighlightsLanding in a sun-soaked Amsterdam and heading straight into a packed few days of cocktail events.Visiting Advocatuur at Rosewood Amsterdam, a beautiful cocktail bar inside the former Palace of Justice, with thoughtful drinks, warm hospitality and a strong sense of place.Stopping by The Flying Dutchman at Sofitel Legend The Grand for a Gin Mare event with the team from Boadas Barcelona.Bumping into Simone Caporale from Sips Barcelona and lining up what will hopefully become a future episode of The Cocktail Academy Podcast.Attending The Cambridge Public House activation, complete with great drinks, a packed room, big energy and a sleeping Jack Russell in the middle of the madness.Finishing the first night at Belly of the Beast, with rum, gongs, colour and full tiki-style energy.Taking part in the Meet the Bartenders event, speaking with teams from Super Lyan, Tjoget, TAG, Aldea and Panda & Sons.Experiencing the main Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026 ceremony at De Kromhouthal, with the green carpet, packed room, brand activations, cocktails and the live countdown.Seeing Line in Athens crowned The Best Bar in Europe 2026.Celebrating Panda & Sons coming in at No.20 and winning the Siete Misterios Best Cocktail Menu Award.Ending the trip at the rooftop closing party at LuminAir, with sunshine, DJs, barbecue, sushi, cocktails and views over Amsterdam.LinksThe World's 50 Best Bars:https://www.theworlds50best.com/bars/The Cocktail Academy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/welovecocktails/The Cocktail Academy on Tiktok Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/welovecocktailsx/https://www.tiktok.com/@welovecocktailsxThe Cocktail Academy:https://thecocktailacademy.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   I teach my personal narrative clients and students that their rigorous “depth of inquiry” steers them way from writing surface-level, first-available answer drafts to crafting a memorable story. What do I mean? Nice personal essays often recount the superficial events of what happened and to whom. Maturing storytellers grow their essays into unforgettable narratives by deeply exploring why what happened to them matters, probing motivations, and reflecting on how those experiences shaped their world view. For example, a nice personal essay focuses on content. Facts tell the reader what you did, the places you went, or the most obvious outcomes of an event. A memorable story focuses on context—the situation or circumstances the facts took place in. Together content plus context create meaning. Meaning reveals your underlying emotions, struggles, doubts, and the personal truths you uncovered along the way. Story listeners are drawn to meaning like filings to a magnet. Tip: To transform a nice essay into memorable story, dig deep by asking yourself 5 probing "depth of inquiry" questions: 1. What did you desire? 2. What choices did you make to get it? 3.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. We humans have shortcomings in common. Certain personal and professional imperfections—such as procrastination, impatience, and difficulty with public speaking, among others—that we naturally work to improve or manage. Maybe like me you've struggled to perfect your shortcomings only to discover that a better use of your energy might be to put them in service to self-awareness. Developing a habit of proactive personal growth identifies shortcomings without excessive self-shame and focuses on practical strategies for improvement, rather than dwelling on the weakness itself. No more “Should on you!” What if instead of focusing on what I'm not because of a standard set by someone else, I assess all I've done, accomplished, overcome, created, and become over the course of my life thus far because I learned how to fall down 7 and get up 8? What if I make up my mind to attend to projects and ideas that are achievable and meaningful to me despite my shortcomings—because I say so! Question: How are you incorporating your shortcomings to live the life you want, where you want, how you want, with whom you want, and for the reasons you want? We determine who we are, shortcomings and all! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Erica Centola, founder of Tournesol Dance in Rochester, New York, is in the studio this month! Have you ever felt like ballet wasn't built for your body—or because you started later, took a long break, or don't fit the "traditional" dancer mold, you somehow don't belong in the studio? Erica is so good at dispelling those myths and encouraging dancers at any stage of their lives or training to do what they love!Tournesol Dance is an adult-only ballet school that's redefining what serious ballet training can look like for adult dancers. A former histology technician turned ballet teacher and studio owner, Erica combines her understanding of anatomy and biology with an individualized approach to teaching. She helps adult students build stronger technique while rediscovering confidence, creativity, and joy.In this conversation, we talked about why dance is so much more than exercise. We explored how ballet can help heal the mind, reduce stress, reconnect us with our creative selves, and become a powerful source of resilience in adulthood.Erica also shared her journey back to ballet after a long hiatus and why she ultimately created the kind of ballet school she wished had existed for adult dancers all along— where adults are taken seriously, given thoughtful corrections, and offered real opportunities to grow and perform.

Marty sits down with Alex Waltz to discuss his forensic investigation into Bitcoin's first seventy-two hours, which uncovers that Satoshi Nakamoto likely ran both a clearnet and Tor node to bootstrap the network, reveals Hal Finney as the third node but second person to join, and exposes how the nascent blockchain ground to a halt eight separate times.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. “Each One Lift One” is the way we roll here! Recently I introduced my friend, Eliza Young (the genius behind my Quarter Moon Story Arts logo and soon-to-be-revealed overhauled website) and the author of Life in Captivity to my other friend and podcast colleague Steve Ramona of Doing Business With a Servant's Heart. It was a match! Their powerful and poignant conversation highlights this truth: “You can't change what happened to you; but you can choose where you go in the future.”   From the June 11th 2026 Episode Notes: “In this deeply moving episode of Doing Business with a Servant's Heart, Steve Ramona sits down with Eliza Young, author of Life in Captivity, a memoir born from a childhood marked by medical trauma, family conflict, repeated separation, and the long road back to self-trust. Their conversation is a splendid reminder that this season of your life is not the whole story.” Click this LINK to access the episode on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKbEuVR4HGs] Connect with Eliza Young:  Web: https://substack.com/@captivatingeliza  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCodDmXVVWdOCGrePbSevQDw    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeliza   Connect with Steve Ramona:  Web: https://steveramona.com/  LinkedIn:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona  IG: https://www.instagram.com/bizopportunitynow/  Podcast: https://www.servinginbusinesspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkgN4ZO83lPjCJtuv0LeOJw Eliza: https://youtu.be/MKbEuVR4HGs And thank you for listening.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Bonus Episode #71 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Kyle explore The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Square Enix's ambitious new HD-2D action RPG that blends real-time combat, exploration, and time-travel into an epic adventure spanning a thousand years. Throughout the episode, the duo shares their thoughts on Elliot's journey across multiple eras, the satisfying blend of action and puzzle-solving, the memorable cast of characters, and the game's beautifully crafted world as it evolves through history. They also discuss how The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales expands the possibilities of the HD-2D style beyond traditional turn-based RPGs, before closing out the conversation with a celebration of the game's outstanding soundtrack. Note: This episode was recorded before the news broke about physical discs and games going away in January 2028, so the discussion we have that stems off a side-conversation on Grand Theft Auto VI is purely coincidental, but very timely. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, Jeff, & Mike.

Hello to you listening in Wellingborough, North Hamptonshire, England! 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. They say that life is like a roll of TP: the closer you get to the end the faster it goes. Maybe you feel this way, too. Zoom Zoom! How do we slow it down? Pay attention to what's still there? Savor the days even when they taste like cardboard, or worse? Imagine this: Life is like a big red bus and some of us get on fighting for the best seats to see the best view from the best vantage points when all of a sudden the bus ride is over and we saw nothing. Others are content to stand in the aisle and experience the ride as best they can, being grateful for having gotten on the bus in the first place. Story Prompt: We are given a life we have no right to expect. Now that you've boarded the big red bus what's your ride going to be like? Write that story and share it out loud! 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. 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!

On this week’s Mad Men Men, we dig into “Christmas Waltz.” That's right, it's a holiday episode about money trouble, emotional drift, and people looking for comfort in all the wrong places. But also, it’s one of Season 5’s strangest and saddest turning points. Because let's just say it gives several characters a version of the Christmas spirit they absolutely did not ask for. If you’re new here, Mad Men Men covers Mad Men from three angles. First, we have a first-time watcher (Will Ashton). Then, we have a first-time rewatcher (Mike Overhulse). Finally, we have the over-rewatcher (me, Jon Negroni). EXTRA CREDITS Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. The show stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Robert Morse, and many more.

Hello to you listening in Lake Chelan, 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. Some 30 years ago I was taught that story is a gift to the listener. This never-forgotten advice has shepherded me through decades of professional speaking, litigation consulting, communication coaching, and story strategizing. Perhaps you've experienced someone telling a story and it feels forced, it does not ring true. What's going on? A story is organic. It will manifest in a certain place or time when it is ready to be told and the teller is ready to serve as the conduit for the story. If a story feels forced the teller isn't ready to release it.  If this was my client we would continue to collaborate on the key questions: who is it for, how did it come to be, why does it want to be heard, where does it begin, what does it mean. This is how we get to the heart of your message and the message of your heart. By recognizing that a story is as alive as the person telling it. Practical Tip: If you're curious come as you are and change inside Quarter Moon Story Arts!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Ambler, Pennsylvania! 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. This much I know. I have come to expect too much - of myself, of my plans, of my aspirations. My expectations were giving me heartache. It was time to step away, create some distance between me and my expectations. We are taught to exceed our expectations! And yet when we let go a bit, make room for the possibility that an event, an objective, an outcome might unfold in ways we could not have expected we are inviting a variety of possibilities! If outcomes do not conform to what we expected does that mean we failed? No. Practical Tip: The unforeseen gives us a chance to be flexible, to see something positive in the unexpected outcome. Now we get to adapt. The more we strengthen our adaptability muscle the more resilient we become. The more resilient we become the more capable we are of recognizing that Life is one grand experiment asking us to stay open, alert and optimistic as we set intentions and release expectations. Guaranteed! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

This week on Face the Nation, Vice President Vance and Iranian officials meet face to face in Switzerland to kick off a 60 day period of talks to resolve the nuclear issue, but the Trump administration is finding that their path to peace is complicated. Saying he wanted to avert "economic catastrophe," due to the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, the President negotiates an agreement with Iran that's far short of the goals he's set in the nearly 4 month conflict. Did the president wind up with the short end of the deal? We'll discuss the latest with UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, and a key democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Colorado's Jason Crow. It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.

Hello to you listening in Dundalk, Ireland! 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. I can't get away from it. The Camino de Santiago keeps tugging at me. I remember two truths from the Camino: you will get blisters and you will get unexpected kindness from strangers. I became intimately familiar with both. As to the blisters: wear proper boots, air out your feet every two hours, keep your socks dry, watch for hot spots. But, as careful as you are you'll likely get blisters - the badge of honor on long treks - so you can trade stories and  treatment solutions with other pilgrims, like liberal applications of Vick's Vapo-Rub. Who knew? As to the gifts of kindness, they show up when most needed and least expected: a cold bottle of water, a wooden bench with free fruit and juice, directions from a villager, or encouraging words offered in a time of uncertainty or doubt. Just like magic.   Story Prompt: As you walk your life, what are a few of the ups and downs (the kindnesses and boot blisters) that have shaped your life? 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 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! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"
