60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: Every Woman Should Have a Blow Torch!

<p>Hello to you listening in <a target="_blank">Prince George, British Columbia,  Canada</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><a href="https://juliachildfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Julia Child</a> is an icon in my kitchen. She charmed the icing right off my cake when I first heard her voice, learned her story. Julia said, “<i>Every woman should have a blowtorch</i>.” I imagine she meant a kitchen blowtorch for caramelizing sugar, roasting peppers or melting cheese.</p><p>Julia came to mind some years ago when I was working as a shepherd at Juniper Moon Fiber Farm. One day it fell to me to clean out the elevated chicken coop. With my bandit-style kerchief mask in place I scrubbed the floors and walls with a wire brush before flooding the coop with a hose to wash out all that dust and debris. Now, how to get it dry? Blowtorch!</p><p>We happened to have a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ScLrxHWC4Y" target="_blank">crazy big propane torch</a> on the farm. I fired it up, aimed it inside the coop using a back and forth motion, and before you know it all dry for the chickens. What I remember is the sense of power I had!</p><p><strong>Story Prompt</strong>: What if you had a crazy big blowtorch? What would you do with yours, metaphorically speaking? 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 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, including Android, Amazon Music and Audible 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.quar
