60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: What Could You Do Suspecting You Knew How To?

  1. 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: What Could You Do Suspecting You Knew How To? 1:26

Hello to you listening in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina

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.

Two lines from the novel Bel Canto by Ann Patchett gave me pause: 

It makes you wonder. All the brilliant things we might have done with our lives if only we suspected we knew how.” [~ p. 300]  

Maybe like me you’ve done many things and inhabited many roles over the course of your life. And yet and yet, maybe like me you wonder: what dreams have I not yet manifested? What have I squandered because I felt I didn’t know how? Where could I have risked something different? From the evidence why was I given my life?

Story Prompt: There is time! You do know how! What brilliant things might you and your life like to do? 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 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! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together. Be sure to stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website, check out the Services, arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack.

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.
