Welcome To Waffle-Free Storytelling! Sometimes, good is good enough. But when you're doing something important, your target should be GREAT! Trouble is, if you are the only judge of your work, there is a chance that you con yourself into thinking that you've done your best. Occasionally, you need an outside influence to suggest you can do better :-) Welcome to "The Great Dragon Flies". Brew a mug...

Hello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Life throws us curve balls. That comes with being human. Most of those curve balls we don't see coming. And some of them, we only feel years after they hit. The only part of the process we control is our response to what comes our way. This story is called "Fixing Broken Things" and it's about recovering from the wild, weird, odd, mad...

Hello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! As we progress through the human experience, our roles change.

Hello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Most of us live lives following the rules. Not OUR rules, but THE rules. Set up by someone to make someone happy.

This is a story about Tiri, and how she eventually found he...

And that's just as well... because our need for things to change is coming at a point when it's critical that change does happen.

Hello And Welcome Back To The Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast! Dealing with the big problems in the world can seem impossible - especially if you feel you are just one little human.
