Hello to you listening in Dong Nai, Vietnam!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Imagine this: parents taking matters into their own hands and dialing back on their children’s cell phone access by bringing landlines into their homes. In one dad’s words, “Landlines strip communication skills back to basics.”

What makes this move look like something out of The Wayback Machine? Because it confronts the digital mainstream with unsung values grounded in new ideas.

In our house this is how we’re doing it; not so much to return to artifacts of the past but to values, manners, civility, listening, and a way of being in the world that is not tied down to and held hostage by the ever-present DEVICE.

I believe that our yearning for a more humane way of life in this digital age is showing up in what we decide to let go of as well as what we choose to hold on to.

Question: It’s not just about a mom or a dad with an idea but an idea that’s resonating. What ideas do you have to marry the pre- and post-digital worlds by calling on the unsung values of the old ways?

Hello to you listening in Show Low, Arizona!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Maybe like me in times of difficulty you turn for comfort or encouragement to a favorite line from the past, that still make you wonder: could this have been written with me in mind?

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe said, “Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Looking at its sad appearance who would think that those stiff branches, those jagged twigs would turn green again and blossom and bear fruit next spring; but we hope they will, we know they will.”

Goethe also said: “One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”

As you set forth in days ahead, remember to pause; breathe; have faith that you got this; and it will be alright in the end.

Maybe like me you find yourself having lost track of the pathway of purpose. What’s my work for? Who’s it for? Why does my work matter?

When I hit this place I ask 4 questions to re-orient my compass heading to True North:

Why?

Why Me?

Why Me Here?

Why Me Here Now?

And then I set out on a walk to listen for the answers which will show up. Guaranteed! How do I know? Because what you’re looking for is looking for you.

Story Prompt: What are you looking for? What might be looking for you? Write that story and tell it out loud!
