Hello to you listening in Sussex Inlet, New South Wales!

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.

Long long ago and far far away someone you love was born and began a life. Maybe it was you or a parent or a sibling, a friend, your partner. Do you know their story? Do they know yours? This is a very good time to collect those stories. Weekly on Story Prompt Friday I offer a bit of story and a prompt to get you started, either sitting with someone and collecting a story as part of the oral tradition or maybe for yourself as a way to spark your own writing.

Story Prompt: What is the best sunrise you ever witnessed? Where were you? Who was with you? Or were you alone? What did the air feel like? What did you smell and hear? What brings the memory alive for you today? Write that story and share it out loud!

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.

Hello to you listening in Cortland, New York!

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 the story goes the miracle of a human birth is as rare as a blind turtle that swims through the ocean surfacing once every 100 years and happens to raise its head through a single ring of seaweed randomly floating on the water.

Equally rare is the opportunity to be living through cataclysmic crises capable of shifting a whole civilization. Internal changes, external pressures or environmental collapse have shifted whole civilizations. Crises are unfolding right before our very lives.

Strange to think, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” [2008 Rahm Emanuel chief of staff to President Barack Obama]

That being true, how might we exploit these cataclysmic crises instead of letting them go to waste? We start small. Each one doing just one thing beautifully. Why? Small actions done consistently with curiosity, compassion, and hope have the collective power to change the course of history!
