Welcome to Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) This little tale was inspired by my stay at Sherwood Forest. Been here a couple of weeks and the peace is pure delight. Trying to get through the thorny undergrowth to retrieve a blue balloon made me ask the question... Why might trees surround themselves with such a dense thicket? Nature is a healer. Find a forest or hug a tree....

Welcome to Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) Here's a little tale inspired by a wondering about where that little voice comes from. You know the one... The voice you hear when you know you should or shouldn't do something, when you have choices, and you aren't sure what direction to go in. The one you sometimes listen to and sometimes don't... and then wish you had. That one...

Welcome to Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) This story was inspired by a month where I seem to keep on repeating the same mistakes!! I needed a story to help me look beyond my own life and look more closely at family patterns. Whether we know it or not, we're the sum, to some degree, of all that came before us. Not always a comfortable thought... Anyway... Fill a mug, put y...

Welcome to Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) If it's your birthday, then happy birthday!! If it's not, then happy birthday when the day arrives.

Fill a mug, put your feet up, and join me for a mellow moment. When the story's do...

Welcome to Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) This is a tiny, short tale about knowing what to do. I'll let you unpack it yourself.

When the story is done, feel free to enjoy the rest of the site ( https://tinakonstant.com/ ) for more stories and other stuff and no...

Welcome to Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) This tale came about as a result of a little challenge. A glorious friend said, "Make a story." I said, "OK, what about?" She said, "A girl who speaks to trees." And that's how this story came about. I never know what shape the tale will take. This one turned out to be an origin story, but also a story about the balance of power....

Welcome To The Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) Ooookay... don't say I didn't warn you. This one is a little weird. If you're partial to the idea of reincarnation, this little tale is for you. As I write, spring has definitely sprung in Scotland. It's almost 10 pm, but the sky is light enough to see the horizon. It's a thing of beauty. Whatever's going on in your wild and w...

Welcome To The Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) This story is a little around the houses. It takes the path we sometimes take to make decisions. Up and down, left and right, stop and start... But it's better to choose and step into the unknown than to do nothing at all. There will never be a right time. And you will never have all the information you need to be certain. All...

Welcome To The Story River Fables (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) We all feel lost a lot of the time. To get back on track, we read books, we connect, we hide for a bit, we follow people, we follow ideas... but in the end, we have to take the steps ourselves. That's what this tale is all about. It's a sunny day where I am. I hope you're dressed for whatever the weather sends your way. Whatev...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This story was inspired by the way the world is at the moment. It will take a new breed of human stepping up if we're to achieve any kind of balance and harmony in our world. I hope that new type of human steps up sooner rather than later. We can't go on under the current regime for much longer. Surely even they can see things are unravelling. Breat...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! There's a reason we can't change the past, see the future, and often seem to struggle with our present. It's because of the choices Jarobi made. You can blame him if you like! Saying that... It's another beautiful day on planet Earth, so fill your mug with something delicious, put your feet up, and join me for another random tale.

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Moving from the flow of childhood into the hard lines of adulthood isn't easy, especially when you don't know what to do with your life or when the thing you love to do doesn't appear to have commercial value. How do you find your place and your purpose? This is Sorani's story. Pause for a bit. Put your feet up. Take a breath. And join me for a waff...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! The eternal question of where we go when we die... Maybe we hang around for a bit. Maybe our ancestors stay close. Maybe they join us around the fireside. Maybe they join us for morning coffee in the sun. Maybe they're close enough to talk to... Either way, next time you fill your mug with something delicious, fill one for someone you have loved and...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This is a weird story. I get it. It's about settling when you should have chosen more, growing out of what you chose, and working hard to break free. It's not easy. Breaking free from what you know takes the kind of courage that changes you as a human being. The battle is worth the prize. Always. With that in mind, fill your mug with something delic...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! When life is hard, challenging, tricky, confusing, or downright odd (most often, for reasons we can't fathom), the root of all our issues might have their origins in another life and time entirely! With that in mind, be kind today, then put your feet up, take some time out, and join me for a waffle-free moment. When the story is done, feel free to e...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Sometimes, no matter how wild, weird, wonderful, unexpected, and strange a story sounds, sometimes... juuuuust sometimes, it's true. Think about it this way: if we only believe the stories that make sense to us, we miss out on a lot of magic in the world. This story is about the hunt for true stories, and what happened when our interpid traveller fo...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! This story was inspired by a little childhood comment that changed the direction of my life. I wish I'd been smarter as a kid. I wish I'd not let the words from a silly old man sink into my soul. As adults, we need to ward against the things we say to young people. And young people... you need to ignore just about everything stupid old people say. W...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! It's the greatest question of all time! I think the answer is as simple as it is complicated. Or maybe it's not. This is Narooli's answer and how he came to find it. Wherever you are in your search, have a beautiful day on Planet Earth. Put your feet up, take a moment, and join me for a waffle-free moment. When the story is done, feel free to enjoy...

Welcome To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! I have a hedge growing around my little backyard that's so full of birds that their dawn chorus wakes me up most mornings. To me, they're part of our home, so I fill the feeders with the stuff they love, which means they stay. As a result, I get to see new little ones spread their wings every spring. It's a thing of beauty. However, despite the numb...
