60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: How & to Whom Are Our Stories of Use?

  1. 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: How & to Whom Are Our Stories of Use? 2:51

Hello to you listening in Mohali, Punjab, India!

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.

My friend Gene was mulling whether stuff he knows should be passed on in stories to his grandchildren. Nah. The best way for children to learn is to experience the ups and downs of Life themselves. So, no shared stories.

I see it differently: You are not now nor will you ever be the only person who wonders if their experiences, trials, tribulations, mistakes, misgivings, victories, and so on are of use to someone else.

Here me when I say, stories are the best teachers.

I craft these episodes in the hope that someone needs and wants them, will be helped by them, maybe even have a better life because something I said answered the question: “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one!” [C.S. Lewis]

People are people; they will still touch fire to see if it’s hot. Our stories might just keep them from being burned alive.

Story Prompt: When have you shared a Life experience of yours in a story that helped another person? How do you know? Write that story and share it out loud!

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.

AND!  Stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website during reconstruction, email me [[email protected]] to arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as Quarter Moon Story Arts 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.
