Hello to you listening in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania!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've been thinking about a line in Clarissa Pinkola Estes's poem, A Simple Prayer for Remembering the Motherlode. “We do not become storytellers.We came as carriers of the storieswe and our ancestors actually lived. We are.”What strikes me - and perhaps you, too - is that this sacred obligation looks to the past as well to the future. Lives lived. Who were our ancestors? Do we know what they stood for, where they came from, their trials and tribulations? How do these stories inform our lives, consciously or unconsciously? How do we carry all of it?  And, what about our own story? Some might call it origin story, creation story, or the story that shines through in our business, our practice, our way of being in the world. How does our story connect us to those who have gone before and are yet to come?Story Prompt: Sit for a spell. Invite what's asking to be told. Write 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.You're invited: “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!

  Hello to you listening in Liberty, Kansas!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Here we are mid-way through 2022. While many of us are seeking Be-ing over Do-ing there is still a great deal of pressure to open a new door, more doors, better doors to your life, your business, your heart, your relations... It's exhausting! Might there be another way? Yes.Perhaps you're familiar with Paolo Coelho de Souza, a Brazilian novelist. At the very least I imagine you've read his best seller The Alchemist, and the prequel, The Pilgrimage, about the road to Santiago. I walked that very same road to self-discovery. I spent a night in the albergue Coelho sponsors. So, when I read what he had to say about doors I paid attention. "Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere."Question: Which doors will you close today? Where will you go next?  You're invited: “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!

Hello to you listening in Mazama, 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.When I introduced my Engaged Storyism® Method to my litigation clients they thought I was quite mad; but they learned I was quite right. Engaged story skills connect the plaintiff's story to the stories of the decision-makers to find common ground and win the case.But more importantly, my clients learned that before you tell your client's story, be aware of your own. Do the hard work. The archeological dig on your narrative. Once we understand how our narrative shapes and re-shapes our life, our purpose, the relationships we have with others we are well on our way to standing up for what we stand for. Now we're prepared to contribute our narrative to advocacy, leadership, and influence. Advocacy, leadership and influence shift attitudes, behaviors, cultures.Practical Tip: If you are ready to bring your clear, concise, compelling narrative to your business, practice or cause so your clients get the optimum value and commitment from you, come as you are and change with me inside Quarter Moon Story Arts.You're invited: “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!

Has the world gone mad? Whatever happened to kindness, to patience, to manners? These better sides of ourselves are just waiting for us to invite them out of the shadows.As always, putting the Big G of Gratitude front and center in our lives helps us create the feeling of good for what we have even when we don't feel so good or grateful. How to do that?  Practical Tip: Donald Altman developed an effective technique for creating a positive attitude toward life called GLAD! All you need is a journal to record daily some Gratitude that you have; 1 thing you Learned; 1 Accomplishment you did; and 1 thing that Delighted you. Gratitude - Learned - Accomplished - Delighted!

Hello to you listening in Green Valley, Arizona! 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're challenged by Monkey Mind: that restless, unsettling, jibbering part of your brain that becomes easily distracted, making you feel like you're going crazy. You're not crazy. Monkey Mind is simply an annoying thought process, a habit of useless mental chatter that interferes with productive calm.Practical Tip: When Monkey Mind shows up pause and breathe. When we pause and take 3 conscious breaths we invite space into our mind.When we invite space into our mind there is less room for worry, anxiety, fear, uncertainty. We can actually experience calm in the sacredness of the space we create for ourselves. And then we smile.When Monkey Mind shows up connect with your calming power. Monkeys are gone. You are here restored, renewed, productive.You're invited: “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!

Harpist Lavinia Meijer has worked with an impressive list of people, including Philip Glass, Iggy Pop and Patty Smith, she joins Jess Gillam this week to chat about the music they can't get enough of. Lavinia is declaring her love for the bagpipes with a track by The Chieftains, we've two stunning concertos from Unsuk Chin and Korngold, re-worked film music by Peter Gabriel plus Stravinsky, Alabama Shakes and a very famous Waltz! Playlist: Johann Strauss II - An der schönen, blauen Donau, Op. 314 [Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan] Peter Gabriel - With this Love The Chieftains - The Humours of Carolan Debussy – Trio for Piano, Violin and Cello in G Major, L. 3: Third Movement [Andre Previn (piano), Julie Rosenfeld (violin), Gary Hoffman (cello)] Unsuk Chin - Violin Concerto; Movement I [Viviane Hagner (violin), Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, Kent Nagano] Korngold - Cello Concerto in C Major, Op.37; I.

Segment 1-Local Marion County events hit summertime with County Commissioner Carl Zalak Segment 2-Gun control bill will do nothing to prevent Uvalde and 2A issues with expert Chris Wagonner Wagonner is a former law enforcement weapons trainer, and outlines the specifics of the latest gun control legislation likely to pass Congress. Age limits and red flag measures will do nothing to prevent the Uvalde, Texas school shooting, and may not face Constitutional challenges. The latest Supreme Court ruling against NY was a big win for personal defense. There are further challenges of gun restrictions to be decided, but the process is slow. Having to get a license to exercise Second Amendment rights is itself unconstitutional. And the Second Amendment is the only right where citizens need approval from the government. Segment 3-Conservative candidates are running for more and more local seats with Alachua Republican head Ed Braddy Head of the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee and former Gainesville Mayor Ed Braddy on the Bob Rose Show. For the first time in decades, Alachua County has conservatives running for elected positions in County Commission, School Board, state Houses and even Soil and Water seats. And Braddy is now running for the Alachua County Commission seat held by Marihelen Wheeler. There is great interest in conservative and Republican candidates all over the country, and it's happening here in Alachua County. GOP candidates locally are joining high profile state races for Governor and US Senate, in the August primary and November general election. Braddy also addressed local issues like Gainesville's recent urban planning push to pack neighborhoods with high-density zoning. Segment 4-US defense bill and the pervasive Chinese threat with Congressman Mike Waltz The latest defense bill is moving through committee markups, is finding strong bipartisan support, and passed 67-1. Florida US House Rep. Mike Waltz says that although the bill doesn't have everything he wants, there is a lot of good to keep America safe. Waltz outlined the many growing global threats facing the United States, especially China. And with so many American institutions drunk on Chinese money, Waltz worries about how pervasive the impact of their influence.

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!Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing.

Hello to you listening in Wood Green, London, England!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.As the story goes the likelihood of any one of us being conceived is like that of a sea turtle swimming in the ocean and rising to the surface once every one hundred years and putting her head through a loop of seaweed floating there.Whether Life is chance or destiny we come with purpose. This from Clarissa Pinkola Estes:    "We do not become healers.We came as healers. We are.Some of us are still catching up to what we are.We do not become storytellers.We came as carriers of the storieswe and our ancestors actually lived. We are.Some of us are still catching up to what we are.We do not become artists. We came as artists. We are.Some of us are still catching up to what we are.We do not become writers.. dancers.. musicians.. helpers.. peacemakers. We came as such. We are.Some of us are still catching up to what we are.We do not learn to love in this sense.We came as Love.We are Love.Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are."- A Simple Prayer for Remembering the Motherlode by Clarissa Pinkola Estes from The Contemplari manuscript ©200Question: What are you discovering about your true purpose?

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 invited: “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!

Hello to you listening in Nassau, Bahamas!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I've been asked: How does one create a story that others relate to? The one where someone says, “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one!”Start by listening for the story that wants to be told. The story you share is actually you discovering what your own story wants to say through you so that you connect with yourself and connect with others.Maybe your story is an opportunity to find out who you are, who you want to be, where you are going. Others want the very same things. When we invite our vulnerable, curious side to express itself our story can help cure others while it heals us. That's why I say, “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!”Question: How does this work for you: Discovering the stories that want to be told and then telling them for yourself and the rest of us ?You're invited: “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!

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 Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Way way back in the day when my friend Gene was a hospital-based respiratory therapist a department supervisor took a dislike to him and rode his butt day in and day out. Why? Who can say. I'm betting you had (or have) one of those people in your life.Gene took it as long as he could but that supervisor was after him like a dog with a bone. Which gave Gene an idea.One day he walked into the hospital and handed his supervisor a brown paper wrapped gift. Inside was a note and a pork-chop shaped squeaky toy for dogs. Gene wrote: “Chew on this for a while because my ass is pretty sore!”What happened next? They say that hard lessons are best learned with humor and in this case the pork chop squeaky toy worked. The two were not friends but somehow the tension eased.Question: What metaphorical squeaky toy have you used to diffuse a difficult situation or teach a lesson?  You're invited: “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!

Milton Brown and his Brownies- Down by the Ohio(1935) What an extraordinary voice Brown had. A pioneer of Western swing his career was tragically cut short when he died of injuries sustained in a car crash in 1936. Bob Skyles and the skyrockets- Swing it Mr drummer man(1938). Clifford kendrick on drums. Hoosiers Hot shots- Sentimental Gentleman from Georgia. Seemlessly moving into two tracks from the fabulously named Hell broke out in Georgia LP.  First, more great names, Gid Tanner and his Skillet lickers- Don't you cry my honey(1930.) The Swamp rooters- Swamp cat rag(1936) They were led by fiddler Lowe Stokes, a member of the Skillet lickers. We stay with the fiddle but slow it down with The Leake County Revellers- Good night Waltz(1927.) East coast country blues is how the source LP describes the next two tracks. Lottie Kimsbrough and Winston Holmes- Lost Lover Blues(1928) A great track from lesser known artists. I've heard blues and yodelling before but never blues yodelling and birdsong. Fred McMullan and Ruth Mary Willis- Just can't stand it. Little known about these two. Both made a few recordings in the early 30s. McMullan died in the early 60s and was in prison at one point in his life. No further record of Willis's life. Just two examples of artists whose talents were recorded in the 1920s and 30s and then they just disappeared. Meade Lux Lewis- Honky Tonk Train Blues. Jimmy Yancy and Faber Smith- I received a letter. Pine Top Smith-  Pine Tops's Boogie Woogie. The first time boogie woogie appears on a record label and is mentioned in a song. Pine Top Smith was a real pioneer who sadly died at the age of 25. A wee excerpt from a rather 'faded' 78rpm featuring a meeting between The Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers. The two pioneering acts of early country music. Then it's Jimmie solo, not yodelling, with I'm Lonesome too. Back to Britain. To listen to how the US influenced music here. Harry Torrani- Log Cabin Yodel (1932.) Slim Whitman rated Torrani as the best yodeller of all time. He certainly had a sweet spot voice. Incidentally yodelling was introduced in the US by a Swiss group who toured the whole country in the middle of the 19th century. Bob Mallin- Oh they're tough, mighty tough in the west. A very English delivered comic cowboy song from the late 30's. Lonnie Donegan is no stranger to Forgotten songs. Here he sings Don't let the sun go down on me. One of the many blues, folk and traditional songs from the US that he sang. He was a man who loved the very music we play here. We finish with Mugsy Spanier- Lonesome Road.  A superb laid back, instrumental version of this popular song that was written in the style of an African American folk song by Nat Skillret and Gene Austin.  

Hello to you listening in Cascais, Portugal!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.A man drives into a filling station and asks the attendant to fill the tank with gas.

The man says, Good idea! and drives away.About a week later the same man returns to the filling station and asks the attendant to fill the tank. The attendant sees the same 3 penguins but now they're wearing sunhats, sunglasses and beach sandals. He says, Hey! I said you should take those penguins to the zoo!  I did, replied the man, and we had such a good time that today we're going to the beach!Story Prompt: When did someone *should* you?

Hello to you listening in Milan, Italy!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories from Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Here on Whidbey cleaning house gutters is a regular event. From up here on the roof of my house the whole neighborhood looks different. This bird's-eye view reveals what I can't see with my feet on the ground below.Up on the roof is a good way to escape from the everyday and pretend, much as you might have as a child climbing trees, finding a secret space, creating a fantasy world between you and the sky. I know I'm up here to clean the gutters but it's also where I get an insight into a difficult situation, an answer that's been eluding me, or even the Ah Ha! of a new idea.Practical Tip: You don't have to climb up on the roof to become inspired. Maybe there is a balcony, a hill, a tree you can perch in; or, close your eyes and imagine you are in a safe space between the ground and the sky inviting the perfect answer to your doubts. When we look up and out we see differently. This shift in perspective rewards our view with answers.

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.I volunteer as a story docent at Admiralty Head Lighthouse. Sailing in from the Pacific Ocean through the treacherous Strait of San Juan de Fuca ship captains would look for the blazing lighthouse beacon 127 feet above Admiralty Inlet warning them to steer a hard right to starboard, avoid the cliffs, and continue safely south to Puget Sound and on into 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 your fingerprints. Lighthouses mark points of navigation, warn about dangerous coastlines, and guide ships into safe harbor.But no one harbor serves all boats. Different boats - different harbors. Lighthouses don't chase boats; why do you chase clients?Ask yourself: What is it only you have to offer? Who needs it and wants it? How will you attract your particular client with your own distinctive beacon of light? And, how will they know you are signaling them? Once you have your answers, you will be well on your way to business success.  Guaranteed!You're invited: “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!

Hello to you listening in Villafranca de Los Caballeros, Spain!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.As much as I try to be an easygoing, stretch your wings and fly type, I just can't stop trying to burst people into flames with my mind.  What sets me off? Something someone said or did which I perceive as an insult, a slight, an affront. We hear this all this time: Take nothing personally; the stuff that folks say and do by and large has nothing to do with you. Yes, true, and their “stuff” triggers our insecurities. What happens next? Meltdown!Practical Tip: When you are tempted to take something personally, step back, give it some breathing room because most likely whatever was said or done is of their making and not yours.Or, as my dad used to say: "Diane, Nie mój cyrk. Nie moje małpy. Not my circus - not my monkeys!" You're invited: “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!

I go over the early Bolshevik state's relationship with Imperial Japan. You won't be surprised to find out it is acrimonious. I tell the story of Sergei Lazo, the Nikolaevsk Incident, the industries backing détente with the Soviets, and the rise of Japanese conceptions of pan-Asianism. To wrap up, I talk about the man of steel himself, and his words for and against Japan. Song: Fish Heaven / the Sakana Song

Hello to you Lesley Osborn listening in Ocala, Marion County, Florida! 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 before man walked the Earth, the Dog Nation decided to elect a leader. Under the full moon of a summer eve they gathered in a clearing in the woods. One by one each dog stood up and told the others why he (or she) should be elected leader.Greyhound said she could run the fastest. The Dog Nation agreed Greyhound was a very fast runner!Bulldog said he had the fiercest growl. The Dog Nation agreed that Bulldog was a fierce growler!Hound Dog said he could sing the best. All the dogs were good singers but they agreed it wasn't a party unless Hound Dog was singing!All night long the Dog Nation howled and barked and woofed about what to do; but they could not agree on who to elect as leader.  Finally, little Chihuahua stood up on a log and said, “I have an idea. We should elect as our leader the dog that doesn't smell bad under its tail.” All the dogs agreed that this was quite fair.The Dog Nation is still without their leader; but, if you watch dogs meet up they circle and sniff each other. Why? They're looking for the leader that doesn't smell bad under its tail.Story Prompt: What have you learned from leaders who let you down? Smelled bad under their tail? How did that make you the leader you are today? Write 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.You're invited: “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!

Hello to you listening in Langley Village, Whidbey 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.A few cold Decembers ago a friend and I were wandering in and out of the shops in Langley Village on Whidbey enjoying Christmas decorations, holiday gift shopping and lunching as ladies do when I heard the unmistakable voice I'd been listening to since the first poem in 1990!  “I want to write about faith”, he said. And there he was! I knew David Whyte made his home here on Whidbey Island and not too far from my own home. Still and all, to meet him in person, on the sidewalk, shake his hand, play fan girl over his poetry was that long imagined gift under the Christmas tree.  I'm delighted to share with you the rebroadcast of David Whyte's interview with Krista Tippett for On Being which first aired in 2016. Their conversation brims with language large enough for us all, story, poetry in the workplace, and more. I offer it here for your listening pleasure.  Click HERE to access and savor this wonderful program.   You're invited: “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!

Hello to you listening in New Westminster, BC, Canada!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.In this age of not knowing we often turn to art for answers. The following is from the ever-wonderful Maira Kalman, Israeli-born children's book author and illustrator.  The Age of Not Knowing"What era are we in?The era of not knowing.In that there is so much to know,the only recourse is not to know.Or, we are incapable of knowing what we need to know.Which, like everything, can have a good side and a bad side.The bad is that we don't know what will happen.And the anxiety this provokes is vast and constant.What new terror lurks?The good is that we don't know what will happenand it could be a pleasant surprise.The other good is that we can decide what we needto have happen in the moment. And take action.Go down the stairs and go outside.Go up the stairs and into the room.We don't know the outcome of doing something.Again, it is impossible to know.But the life must be lived and the chances must be taken.And perhaps it won't be all bad.You never know."  [by Maira Kalman]Click HERE to watch: Art and the Power of Not Knowing with Maira KalmanYou're invited: “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!

Synopsis Merriam-Webster's defines a “gazebo” as “a freestanding roofed structure usually open on the sides. To most Americans, however, “gazebo” conjures up warm, summer days spent out-of-doors: If you imagine yourself inside a gazebo, you're probably enjoying a cool beverage while gazing out at the greenery – or, if you fancy yourself outside one, you're probably seated in a lawn chair, gazing at a group of gazebo-sheltered band musicians playing a pops concert for your entertainment. In the early 1970's, the American composer John Corigliano wrote a series of whimsical four-hand piano dances he dedicated to certain of his pianist friends, and then later arranged these pieces for concert band, entitling the resulting suite “Gazebo Dances. “ “The title,” explained Corigliano, “was suggested by the pavilions often seen on village greens in towns throughout the countryside, where public band concerts are given in the summer. The delights of that sort of entertainment are portrayed in this set of dances, which begins with a Rossini-like Overture, followed by a rather peg-legged Waltz, a long-lined Adagio, and a bouncy Tarantella.” The concert band version of Corigliano's “Gazebo Dances” was first performed in Indiana on today's date in 1973, by the University of Evansville Wind Ensemble, with Robert Bailey conducting.

Hello to you listening in Mandaluyong City, Philippines!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more ) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The other day something pretty rotten happened to me. I felt taken advantage of. How dare she? Who does she think she is? After all I've done! My anger and resentment continued long past their shelf life. What happened next? I remembered something.Perhaps you're familiar with the story of two Buddhist monks, one older and one younger, walking a dirt road back to their temple. Arriving at a wide river they see a woman standing on the bank unsure of how to cross. She asks for help. Without a word the older monk lifts her in his arms, carries her across the river, sets her gently on the other side and nods farewell.The younger monk is shocked! An hour of walking, then two, then three, and finally the younger monk explodes in rage: “We took a vow as monks not to touch women! You carried her! You broke the sacred vow!”As the story goes the older monk says, “Yes, I picked her up, I put her down, and you are still carrying her.”Story Prompt: What are you carrying around that's ready to be put down? How would it feel to let it go? Write 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.You're invited: “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!

Hello to you listening in Camrose, Alberta, Canada!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.He's making himself known calling from across the house, standing and staring in my office doorway until I notice.My kitty is a senior fellow. Been with me some 17 years or so since I brought him home from the shelter. Someone had dumped the litter in a bin outside a convenience store. He's weathered many changes: losing his sister, moving from household to household, now age and kidney disease.    The thing about him is that he asks for what he wants when he wants it. He doesn't waste a sunny afternoon wondering what I think. He snoozes in a warm space. He's figured out how to claim his spot on the bed and the pillow so I adjust to him. No matter my mood or attitude he's there ready to hand out his personal brand of affection.Question: What if we could live as well? Would we take the chance? Would we risk it all to be so free?  You're invited: “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!

Hello to you listening in Wembley Downs, 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.My local Sno-Isle library in Freeland has supplied me with books of every size, author and topic for the past 5 years. Inside a book I roam around the world, through destinations near and far, ideas, challenges, cultures, mysteries, thrillers, other lives. I gain perspective, points of view, attitudes, stories, winners, losers, heroines, and dastardly deeds. That is just the beginning. There is something more.From Alan Bennett's play, The History Boys: "The best moments in reading are when you come across something—a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things—which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours."Question: When has a book reached out and taken your hand? How did it feel?
