<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="http://tourismcamrose.com/" target="_blank">Camrose, Alberta, Canada</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.</p><p>He’s making himself known calling from across the house, standing and staring in my office doorway until I notice.</p><p>My kitty is a senior fellow. Been with me some 17 years or so since I brought him home from the shelter. Someone had dumped the litter in a bin outside a convenience store. He’s weathered many changes: losing his sister, moving from household to household, now age and kidney disease.    </p><p>The thing about him is that he asks for what he wants when he wants it. He doesn’t waste a sunny afternoon wondering what I think. He snoozes in a warm space. He’s figured out how to claim his spot on the bed and the pillow so I adjust to him. No matter my mood or attitude he’s there ready to hand out his personal brand of affection.</p><p><strong>Question</strong>: What if we could live as well? Would we take the chance? Would we risk it all to be so free?  </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 <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/diane-f-wyzga-qmsa/" target="_blank">Linked In</a>.  </p><p><i><strong>Stories From Women Who Walk Production Team</strong></i></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 Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & <a href="https://www.nightheron.com" target="_b
