Hello to you listening in Savannah, Georgia!

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.

What is apparition? In the Harry Potter universe of witches and wizards apparition is the ability to teleport, magically transport from one place to another. One minute you are here and the next you are there! Like mmmagic. Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling No one in the real world has this talent; but we can learn from the wizarding world how apparition might motivate our Monday in 3 easy steps, in sequence:

1. Destination: See clearly where you want to go and fix your mind firmly on that place.

2. Determination: Focus your mind on where you are yearning to go.

3. Deliberation: Feeling your way into nothingness, turn and move with Deliberation.

And there you are! Arrived! Have a most magical motivated Monday!

Hello to you listening in Lanús, Argentina!

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.

In my mind’s eye I see that child on the Jersey Shore arms spread wide clasping the inflated beach ball to her chest, fingers stretched and gripping, eyes barely peeking over the top. Along comes mom with a triple-decker ice cream cone - 3 scoops - all chocolate. The child wants both: beach ball and ice cream; but can hold only one. Now what?

After tears, frustration, stomping around something or someone wins out. Who do you recognize here? Because no matter how old we become some things never change: we want both but have to choose one.

The choices we make can become our greatest adventures if we’re bold. When we let go of what we’re desperately clinging to we might very well end up with the biggest prize of all: the one true life that is meant for us.

Story Prompt: Find a memory moment when you were presented with a choice, maybe like the beach ball and ice cream cone. You wanted both; but could have only one. Which did you choose and how come? Write that story and share it out loud!

Hello to you listening in Desert Hot Springs, California!

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.

Recently a friend told me how she felt like a failure because the job she had she didn’t want and the job she wanted she didn’t get. Now what?

What if we choose to look at the lost job opportunity as an experiment that didn’t produce the expected results. Does that mean it failed? No. What if we look at the result as information pointing you in a better direction. Dr. Jonas Salk once said, “There is no such thing as a failed experiment, because learning what doesn't work is a necessary step to learning what does.” Or, as the famous American jazz musician Louis Armstrong said, “It’s taken me all my life to learn what not to play.”

Practical Tip: Think of a time when you believed you had failed but with a little persistence turned the result into an unexpected opportunity. How did you do it? I believe it’s because you’ve got what it takes to experiment!
