<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://turkeytravelplanner.com/go/BlackSea/giresun/index.html" target="_blank">Giresun, Turkey</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from WhidbeyIsland, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.</p><p>Many’s the time over the years when I’ve stomped around and made furious gestures because some fool in my life did something hurtful - to me! The idea of compassion, of forgiveness could not, would not, should not be tolerated.</p><p>But, what if this solid conviction was like swallowing rat poison and wishing the rat would die? What if I was standing in my own way?</p><p>My teacher said, “<i>If I have hurt anyone through my ignorance and confusions, intentionally or unintentionally, I forgive myself. If anyone has hurt me through their ignorance and confusions, intentionally or unintentionally, I forgive them. If there is something I am not yet ready to forgive, I forgive myself for that</i>.” [Thich Nhat Hanh]</p><p><strong>Question</strong>: What if we could make room for the idea that when we forgive ourselves it becomes a natural extension to forgive another - when we are ready - and create better mental health. What kind of leader might we become?  </p><p><strong>You’re invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic</i>!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time! <strong>Remember to stop by the website, check out the Services, arrange a Discovery Call, and Opt In to stay current with Diane and </strong><a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank"><strong>Quarter Moon Story Arts</strong></a> and on <strong>Linked In</strong>: linkedin.com/in/diane-f-wyzga-78403919a  </p><p><strong>Stories From Women Who Walk Production Team</strong></p><p>Podcaster: Diane F Wyzga & <a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">Quarter Moon Story Arts</a></p><p>Music: Mer’s Waltz from C
