60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: This! Is the Life I Want to Live!

Hello to you listening in Hinesville, Georgia!

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.

Perhaps like me you’ve spent time looking for something but you didn’t know what it was.

For some time I had felt stuck in the cross-roads of my life, the true way was wholly lost to me. I was not flourishing! So, I left everything I’d known for the past 20 years and drove away washing up on the shores of Whidbey Island some 1500 miles later. Why Whidbey? Pretty place, nice people, good pie.

Little by little I’ve been creating a new identity cobbling together ideas, visions, skills, imagination. To keep me headed in the right direction I keep asking: who’s it for, what’s it for, and why does it matter?

I’m not done yet but I’m closer than ever. As the poem goes:

“her entire life led to the

moment when she said,

“This! Is the life I want.”

And she never again

wasted time on anything

that wasn’t that.”  [Kai & Fia Sky, Flying Edna]

Story Prompt: How might you be creating a new identity? Personal? Professional? Something else? 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 invited: “Come for the stories – stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time! Remember to stop by the website, check out the Services, arrange a Discovery Call, and Opt In to stay current with Diane and Quarter Moon Story Arts and on Linked In.
