Wednesdays on Whidbey: A Tribute to Reading

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.australias.guide/wa/location/wembley-downs/" target="_blank">Wembley Downs, Australia</a>!</p><p>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.</p><p>My local Sno-Isle library in <a href="https://www.sno-isle.org/locations/14/" target="_blank">Freeland</a> has supplied me with books of every size, author and topic for the past 5 years. Inside a book I roam around the world, through destinations near and far, ideas, challenges, cultures, mysteries, thrillers, other lives. I gain perspective, points of view, attitudes, stories, winners, losers, heroines, and dastardly deeds. That is just the beginning. There is something more.</p><p>From Alan Bennett’s play, <a href="https://stageagent.com/shows/play/11048/the-history-boys" target="_blank">The History Boys</a>: "<i>The best moments in reading are when you come across something—a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things—which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours</i>."</p><p><strong>Question</strong>: When has a book reached out and taken your hand? How did it feel? What happened next?</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: Dian
