60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: Inner Stage Actress Outer Storyteller – What’s Your Gain From Loss?

Hello to you listening in Aberdeen, South Dakota!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday.

As a child I wanted to be a stage actress. I loved the theater. I took siblings to Broadway plays as a rite of passage. The stage play South Pacific played a part in my decision to become a US Navy nurse. But, I never acted in any plays.

That part was taken by my sister, Marilyn: high school, college, grad school, repertory theater and local plays. For her has been the roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd.

Me? I love language and people to share it with. So I created a storytelling, podcasting, coaching life.

Here’s the thing: Life will take us on so many journeys. We are walking our lives and then Life walks us. We make some gains, we realize some losses. But is there ever real closure over the losses? Perhaps we just incorporate what we’ve experienced into the next incarnation of our life.

Question: What did you gain when you experienced what felt like a loss?
