Story Prompt Friday: Your Memory Moment Treasure Trove Experience

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground. Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. What is a treasure trove? A place that is full of something good and worthwhile. It might be a collection of valuables with historical or cultural significance that have been hidden or buried and long forgotten. Today our treasure trove will be stories claimed from memory moment experiences we’ve lived. How does it work? Find yourself a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted. Gently close your eyes. Breathe in and out slowly repeating 4 lines out loud: Breathe in and say: I am safe. Breathe out. Breathe in and say: I have enough. Breathe out. Breathe in and say: I have done enough. Breathe out. Breathe in and say: I am enough. Breathe out. With your eyes still closed relax even further into your body and your imagination. In your imagination picture a lovely sheltering space. Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it? On the door to that space read these words: Welcome, story traveler. You are expected. Before you enter your very own Memory Moment Treasure Trove, pause and summon the magic words that will open the door just for you. Now, step inside. Gaze around with wonder and curiosity as you take in all the time you’ve lived so far. You might feel a wee bit uncertain or vulnerable. That’s okay. This space might be unfamiliar. For now, choose a single Memory Moment of lived experience—one that hovers there asking to be remembered, not to fix or judge but to relish, to linger in, to reflect on with a sense of delight. Story Prompt: When you have your Memory Moment, gently open your eyes and settle in to write that story and maybe share it out loud.
