Hello to you listening in Houston, Texas!

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  

While I am not a constituent of the 77-year old Democratic Congressman Al Green of Texas, I am certainly a Fan Girl! The point isn’t whether you agree or not with his intentional decision to tell “47” that he does not have a mandate to take a wrecking ball to Medicaid in an effort to save dollars for his millionaire and billionaire buddies. As if a million or a billion wasn’t enough Money for any one person. Silly me. It’s not about money. It’s about rapacious greed. But I digress.

Congressman Green stood up, said his peace, walked out of the chamber  with dignity, spoke to reporters about what moved him to speak up for healthcare for the poor in his district and then took his medicine when the House of Representatives censured him. Shame on you! Those among you have behaved in a rude and offensive manner in the chamber and yet was considered proper behavior. Shame on you.

CTA: Know what you stand for and what you won’t stand for. Wear your values like you wear your sport team’s ball cap. Say what you mean and mean what you say in a clear, concise, and confident manner. And when someone models bravery, decency, morality, compassion and more, tell them that they have motivated you to act with bravery, decency, morality, compassion, and more.

“Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.”

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars?

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.
