Hello to you listening in Alexandria, Egypt https://thirdeyetraveller.com/reasons-why-you-should-visit-alexandria-egypt/! 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. Time out of mind my used-to-be-husband left me for Wife Number 4. By and by I learned to let go of my suffering. My teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh said that we suffer when we grasp something and hold tight to it, instead of letting it go when it was time. The awareness that all is impermanent doesn't come easily; but it does come and then you can step into the fullness of your life. I remember attending a workshop for us poor divorced souls who were curious about how to piece together the remnants of our shattered lives. The speaker was a middle-aged divorced woman who repaired broken porcelain collectibles with one of two methods. The first was called a glue-up. Get the bits and glue them back together. It’s serviceable enough. The other more time-consuming and expensive method involved painstakingly detailed and careful work: sanding the rough edges of all the bits, carefully piecing each bit together, affixing the bits with a special glue so the joinder line didn’t show, and painting the piece to restore it to whole. Her advice to us was while we could get away with our lives being a glue-up, in her experience it was much better to do the painstaking work to live whole again. STORY PROMPT: When you took the time and put in the effort to restore something to wholeness in your life what was the result for you? Write that story!

Hello to you listening in Yamaguchi City, Japan https://www.visit-jy.com/en/! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I’ve produced over 1,000 daily podcast episodes on the global airwaves. Each episode is typically between 60 and 180 seconds. In mere minutes I share a story, a message, and a call to action. Why does brevity matter? Attention spans are dangerously short. More importantly communicating information in a clear, concise and cogent manner gets you seen, heard, understood and listened to. At the same time you develop your communication confidence. 3 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNICATION CONFIDENCE: 1. Do you stumble over your words in a meeting or presentation? Before you speak think about the key points you want to make. Jot down a roadmap with bullet points. Once you start speaking you’ll be anchored and directed. Make your points and end with a strong conclusion. 2. Do you over-explain because you’re unsure whether your audience is with you? If you feel you’re not getting your point across take the pulse of the room every now and again by asking a short question: ? ? ? Gauge the reaction before you continue speaking. You may need to backtrack or take a question. 3. Do you feel like you use too many filler words? The meaningless ums, uhs, likes, and ya knows that suck the oxygen out of the room. Filler words can detract from our assertiveness. But at times we can use the word ‘like’ to create connection with our audience. People communicate in metaphors: this is like that is. Know your words. Choose your words. When in doubt, take a breath. BONUS TIP: Every day for 3 minutes practice speaking out loud. Record and listen to yourself. Pay attention to what sounds good and what could sound better. Once you raise awareness about what you do well and what to do better you will do it.

Hello to you listening in Bow-Edison, Skagit County, Washington https://www.visitskagitvalley.com/about-us/regions/bow-edison/! 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. “.” [The Sisterhood - The Secret History of Women at the CIA https://www.amazon.com/Sisterhood-Secret-History-Women-CIA/dp/0593238176 by Liza Mundy] Reading those words from The Sisterhood - The Secret History of Women at the CIA https://www.amazon.com/Sisterhood-Secret-History-Women-CIA/dp/0593238176 reminded me of all the ways in which women feel underestimated, personally as well as professionally. How do we correct that? It starts with unlocking the power of clarity and intentionality that is Your Who. We each have a particular story at the core of our lives: our Origin Story. Our Origin Story reveals how we got from There to Here. When we own our Origin Story we stand in courage and confidence. How so? By trusting the hardships we’ve faced and achievements we’ve won we connect with our self-worth, what we stand for, what we won’t stand for, what we no longer fear. We have something to say because we discovered WHO we are. This gives us the power to be heard and listened to. : If you’re curious about how to make yourself heard by creating Your Who, email me (info@quartermoonstoryarts.net) OR tap the LINK https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net/hire-me/ in the Episode Notes to schedule a no-obligation Discovery Chat.

Maybe like me you wonder where your true home might be. Perhaps we’ve had it with us all along. "." [Rupi Kaur] The decision to be whole connects us to our true self, our true home of self-worth.

Hello to you listening in Aukland, New Zealand https://www.newzealand.com/us/auckland/! 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. There is a gift in hindsight! Hindsight can show us when a breakdown became a breakthrough, a spiritual crisis became a spiritual awakening, a trail of tears became the trail of gratitude. It has to be hindsight because when we’re swamped by difficult situations we feel scared, uncertain, anxious, or worse. Then time passes. Now, we can look at what we perceived was complete and utter failure while trying to create a new life, share our ideas, grow our business, and so on. What we perceived as failure becomes the opportunity we could not appreciate when we were feeling like a loser. Time and hindsight become growth. STORY PROMPT: Think about a time when it looked like you had failed miserably; but with time and hindsight you grasped the opportunity for a do-over. What happened then? Write that story!

Hello to you listening in Jasper, Indiana https://www.jasperindiana.gov/category/?categoryid=9! 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. In the early 1990s a cellist in Sarejevo, Vedran Smajlovic https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/08/world/death-city-elegy-for-sarajevo-special-report-people-under-artillery-fire-manage.html, went out into the square when the bombs were dropping and started playing his cello. A journalist asked him, "?" The cellist replied, “?” In the face of tragedy art and beauty might be all some of us have to offer. Art and beauty give us hope, remind us of our humanity even when someone else denies it, as well as help shape the stories of the society they reflect. Walking life’s path can be made a bit more hopeful when we have art, music and brave souls to walk along with us. Whether the voice of a child singing a tune from the movie, Frozen; Vera Lytovchenko, violinist and teacher playing in a bomb shelter dressed in an evening gown; a piano player outside a train station; or men singing their country’s anthem.

It’s the voices and music of a determined nation fighting for its unbowed Ukranian soul and winning albeit at great cost. But music alone won’t do it. HEAR US, WORLD LEADERS: if Ukraine maintains its determination and gets necessary external military support, it can win this war of attrition! NOTE: During the nearly four-year siege of Sarajevo that ended in 1996, Vedran Smajlovic https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/08/world/death-city-elegy-for-sarajevo-special-report-people-under-artillery-fire-manage.html played Albinoni’s Adagio in G Minor on his cello in ruined buildings, including the Vijecnica, the Bosnian capital’s destroyed city hall. He also played at funerals despite the threat of sniper fire. His powerful music became a sign of resilience and of the triumph of humanity over brutality.

Hello to you listening in Rowley Ghost Town, Alberta, Canada https://www.travelalberta.com/listings/rowley-ghost-town-12374/! 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. The other day my friend and colleague SB Rawz of Rawz Coaching https://rawzcoaching.com/ floated a question about death. She acknowledged that when asked most people do not wish to know the time and place of their death. I pondered that for a bit. Then I asked myself, “?” On the one hand I might be spurred to live my life more intentionally, squander less time in front of the computer, really listen to sounds of silence, of dawn, of twilight. I imagine I’d savor my meals instead of holding a bowl while I worked in front of - the computer. Perhaps I’d give myself permission to walk away from the office. I’d ask for less and dream more. Maybe I’d keep track of every opportunity I declined https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/28/well/mind/saying-no.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ZE0.Is1u.LDhOgY7Ag7rP&smid=em-share so I realized what matters most. And so on. On the other hand I’d have to get used to the idea that my days really are numbered; which, of course, they are, but I fail to pay attention. Would I live in anxiety? Perhaps the knowledge would weigh me down. What if I had high hopes for my future? Would I retreat from those hopes because I might not be able to reach them? Or, double down so that I could? I’ll share a secret: Given the opportunity to predict my death date on The Death Clock https://www.death-clock.org I opted out. QUESTION: Would you want to know the time and place of your passing? Or not? And how come? Meanwhile, click HERE https://www.death-clock.org for tips on living a longer life. TIPS FOR LIVING A LONGER LIFE 1) Maintain a Healthy Weight Maintaining a healthy weight is vital to reduce the risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. 2) Regular Exercise Get moving for at least 30 minutes a day. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. 3) Stop Smoking Avoid smoking and second-hand smoke. These can lead to various types of cancer, heart disease, and lung diseases. 4) Balanced Diet Eating a balanced diet full of nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains is critical. Avoid consuming too much processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats. 5) Drink Less (or no) Alcohol Limit alcohol intake. While occasional social drinking is usually okay, heavy or prolonged drinking can lead to a number of health issues including liver disease, cardiovascular problems, and cancer. 6) Good Sleep Try to get a good night's sleep. Quality sleep is important for overall health and well-being. It affects mood, memory, and healing processes. 7) Regular Check-ups Regular screenings and medical check-ups can help detect problems early. This is especially important for conditions that don't always show noticeable symptoms, like high blood pressure or high cholesterol. 8) Manage Stress Long-term stress can lead to a number of health issues. Practice stress management techniques like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or other relaxation exercises. 9) Maintain Social Connections Relationships and social interactions are vital for mental health. Loneliness and social isolation can lead to depression and cognitive decline. 10) Lifelong Learning Keep your mind active. Lifelong learning, reading, solving puzzles, or other brain-engaging activities can help to keep your mind sharp and potentially delay the onset of cognitive decline.

Hello to you listening in Rabat, Capital of Morocco https://www.visitmorocco.com/en/travel/rabat! 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. As the story goes I refused to transition from toddler diapers to toddler big girl pull ups the traditional way. No matter what they promised I was not going to sit on the Little Human pot. I wanted to sit on the Big Human’s porcelain throne. Maybe my mother saw genius in my independence or maybe she was just harried with more babies coming along behind me every 18 months or so. She gave in. I did potty training my way. But doing it “” didn’t happen nearly as often as the story seems to foretell. That little girl’s voice got shut down and ignored in the din of other voices, voices of authority, duty, church, obligation, and responsibility. And yet, her voice wasn’t gone; it was just gone missing. In time she went looking for it. Named it and claimed it as her own voice. Now she helps professional women change their narrative so they are seen, heard, understood, and listened to. STORY PROMPT: Somewhere in the long ago you realized that there is no other voice like yours. When did you choose to use it? How did you decide to do it your way, with your voice. Write that story!

I paused my computer screen saver as it pulled up a photo from my Camino pilgrimage: a lake in a town on a sunny day - and swans. Graceful, regal, fully in their watery element, no longer bound to the land. While swans can lumber across the ground swaying dangerously side to side, their element is water. That’s where they belong. Following is a version of Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem - The Swan - translated by Robert Bly https://compassioncamp.com/2017/10/03/513/: “ .” Maybe like me you’ve been asking yourself: What is my element?

Hello to you listening in Mount Evelyn, Australia https://www.australias.guide/vic/location/mount-evelyn/! 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. Perhaps like me those of us who are writers, artists, creators experience Story Stuckness, Creative Burnout, or the “” 19th Century English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge first described at not being able to produce work he thought worthy of his talent. I produce 5 60 Seconds podcasts each week. Each set of 5 podcasts takes me about 2 days from idea to scheduled episode. Many times I cannot think creatively. I feel stuck. PRACTICAL TIP: When this happens there is only 1 solution: go for a walk. But don’t go alone. No. Take along a sentence. Start with a word, string on a few more words to make a decent sentence and then set out to see where the sentence takes you: where does it meander, stop and ponder, skip ahead gaily or sit to gaze. What interesting people and places, ideas and objects might your sentence encounter as you take it for a walk? Expect that you will discover much to inform you and your writing - as well as your art. Writers, artists and creators are much like composters. We don’t create from nothing. Rather, we take all the coffee grounds and orange peels and potato skins of our lives and transform that into this. STORY PROMPT: What creativity shows up for you when your sentence takes for a walk? 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. CTA: "!"

Hello to you listening in Englewood, Florida https://www.visitflorida.com/places-to-go/southwest/englewood/! 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. To this very day my clients from courtrooms to classrooms can repeat my opening lines about presentations: “.” and “.” The human voice is the most powerful instrument we have to heal, inspire, comfort, entertain, and more. It’s the reason that Big Humans and Little Humans long to hear the same stories retold. I believe that our audiences are waiting to be gifted with our spoken words, not our notepad words. When you write your words you are using your brain in a particular way to convey your message in words. But that all changes when you speak those same words out loud. Why? Because writer-brain and speaker-brain are different. Speaking your words out loud will show you right away when a turn of phrase fails, you lack a bridge from one thought to the next, when your story begins to unravel like an old sweater because it lacks integrity - it does not hang together from beginning to end. I have produced well over 1,000 episodes. My 4-year practice has enabled me to embed a lot of meaning in a short space while offering commentaries that are timeless and universal. I take a day to write my week’s worth of 5 episodes. And then I speak them aloud before recording them. This is when I hear myself say something my writer-brain didn’t catch. PRACTICAL TIP: Take the time to speak the words of your presentation out loud. Relish the sound of your human voice. Embrace the power of your spoken word. The more you speak your words out loud the more confident you become, more fearless, more influential. It’s a gift from you to your audience. Guaranteed!
