60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: Thank You for Listening While I Smile at You

  1. 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: Thank You for Listening While I Smile at You 2:21

Hello to you listening in Corning, New York!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday.

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! She sees you – she recognizes you.

From the beginning we are cued to the smiles of other human beings. Imagine what we’re missing with COVID masking. Yes, we can crinkle our eyes all we want but it’s still not a smile – by a human being – to another human being; yet, it is the best we have right now.

I want to say “Thank you!” for taking the time to *listen* to these 60 Second episodes. Like a smile, the music of the spoken word adds inflection, intonation, pause, tone, emphasis, expression, cadence, and more. Reading text alone is quick, cheap, and easy but can be devoid of full  emotional meaning.

I create each 60 Seconds episode with you in mind to offer a measure of hope and imagination, as well as an opportunity for Growth, story, pondering, reflection, and so on. My voice is me smiling at you. 

60 Seconds is your daily dose of hope, imagination, Wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that. This is the place to thrive together. Come for the stories – stay for the magic. Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, follow, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, including Android, and join us next time! You’re invited to stop by the website and subscribe to stay current with Diane, her journeys, her guests, as well as creativity, imagination, walking, stories, camaraderie, and so much more: Quarter Moon Story Arts

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
