60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: Give Yourself Permission to Tell the Hardship Story

Hello to you listening in Lucknow, 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./

“Story is a way to resurrect our humanity so that we can engage and connect with others and transform the lives of those we serve.” [Diane Wyzga]

We are all “living stories.” The best stories usually arise from the pivotal moments of our lives. Why? People face hardships. Our hardships show us the way to recovery. When we tell our stories - when we give ourselves permission to express that wounded, vulnerable, authentic side - those who hear our story can say, “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.” [C.S. Lewis] And now that I know I’m not alone I, too, can summon the courage to get myself from Here to There.

Story Prompt: When have you given yourself permission to tell yourself about how you overcame hardship? What happened next? Write that story!

You’re always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment - it helps us all - and join us next time!
