Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday with questions carefully chosen to help you collect stories in the oral tradition or spark your own writing. Either way, you’ll say, “Thanks for the memories.”

Hello to you listening in Szolnok, Hungary!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday.

Our local Whidbey Coffee dive-thru kiosk recently offered a Cinderella Mocha. I asked the coffee barista if the drink came with a glass slipper and a handsome prince. Not anymore, she said. We used to do that but we got so many returns. The glass slipper didn’t fit, wasn’t comfortable, too easily broken… And the handsome prince? Those were the worst! Seems all they wanted to do was sit on the couch and dream about their kingdom to come!

But, she said, leaning out the window and giving me a wink, we still add a sprinkle of fairy dust on top of the whipped cream so you can write your own happy ending to the Cinderella Mocha Fairy Tale.

Story Prompt: When have you dreamt a Happily Ever After ending to an episode of your life? 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.

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!

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.
