Hello to you listening in San Luis Potosi City, Mexico ! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. “ What ever happened to stories of courageous perseverance in the face of impossible odds ?” [ A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles] They’ve been shoved aside by likes and Insta-acclaim that’s all too easily found on so-called social media. Our lives are steered by uncertainties from the merely inconvenient to the life-altering disruptive. Stories abound in our life circumstances and yet we say, “ Why bother with risking the courage to step out, to venture forth, to gather those stories despite the uncertainty ?" I’ll tell you why! We have a duty to discover and share our stories. For whom? For us! Telling our stories to ourselves helps us understand who we are, make sense of the circumstances of our lives, find meaning in “ courageous perseverance in the face of impossible odds .“ You know what I’m talking about. What are you afraid of?
