60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: What’s Your Work & Who Will Finish It?

Episode Summary

We might say, "This is my work." But how do we know? What else can we learn?

Episode Notes

Hello to you listening in Fremont, California!

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.

In college I was taught by lay faculty and Benedictine monks.  

Today I follow Joan Chittister, an American Benedictine nun, theologian, author, and speaker who is known for being an outspoken advocate of justice, peace and equality focusing on the empowerment of women.

In her book, The Monastic Heart - 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life, Chittister writes, “A spirituality of work is that process by which you finally come to know that your work is God’s work, unfinished by God because God meant it to be finished by you.” 

I say my work is "to help women shape and share their story: Who am I? What’s my Why or work? How do I do my work differently?"

But the notion of “spirituality of work” puts a different spin on things. Is this my work? Is it meant to be finished by me?

Story Prompt: What’s your work and who will finish it? Write that story!
