60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: When Has Someone Helped You Travel Through the Valley of Death?

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.trip.com/travel-guide/destination/brus-1903261/" target="_blank">Brus, Serbia</a>!</p><p>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</p><p>Be very careful what you ask for. Some years ago I asked for a clean slate. I got it. In the space of 9 months I lost my mom, my marriage and my law firm position. That experience was enough to snap me like a dried twig. And I stayed that way for a good long while.</p><p>What changed? A friend of a friend heard that I was a storyteller. She needed a keynote speaker. We met for lunch. I felt I didn’t have it in me to be the keynoter she wanted. She saw something different.</p><p>Here’s what she told me: “I understand that you’ve been walking around in the Valley of Death; but that stops now. Scripture says we are supposed to walk through the Valley of Death. Scripture says nothing about building a brick house, adding a little picket fence and a garden. Starting now you are walking through. I’ll meet you on the other side.” And the rest really is history.</p><p><strong>Story Prompt</strong>: Think of a time when you felt like you had come to the end of the road seeing no future for yourself; but someone else did and lifted you back up. What happened next? Write that story!        </p><p><strong>Practical Tip</strong>: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.   All that matters is you have a story.</p><p><strong>You’re always invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic</i>!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!</p><p>Meanwhile, stop by my <a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">Quarter Moon Story Arts</a> website to:</p><p>✓ Check out <a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net/services/" target="_blank">What I Of
