Episode 1: The Island!

The words that inspired this episode are worm, island, and gnome.

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 the issues might have their origins in another life and time entirely! Karma has a long memory.

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 enjoy the rest of the site (https://tinakonstant.com/). It’s full of more stories and other stuff and nonsense.

Never miss an episode! Click here to join the Waffle-Free Storytelling Fireside. Once a week, I’ll let you know that a new episode is live.

Mother Nature plans for the future and always wins in the end.

This origin story is all about why we can’t see (and often can’t imagine) “life out there.”

It’s why we keep asking questions like: Is there intelligent life beyond the stars? How infinite is space? Are we alone in the universe?

There’s a good reason why we ask these questions… and a better reason why we don’t have the answers!

Fill your mug with something delicious, put your feet up, and join me for this little trip.

This is part 2 of the story about how Hades tricked Zeus out of his first batch of humans.

This is Zibidie’s repentance for the part he played, and hopefully, Hades doesn’t come out of it as well as he did in Part 1: Why We Hug Trees.

Kettle on… Mug topped up… Feet up… Join me for a mellow waffle-free moment…

We miss out on a lot by not looking beyond what we immediately see. Whether it’s a beautiful garden or a human being.

As we get closer to Christmas and all the gatherings that go with it, it’s easy to get lost in the shine, noise and expectations of these homecomings and forget why they’re really happening…

…We don’t need pyramids of packages to say we love each other.

Put your feet up, warm your heart, hug the people you love, and join me for a waffle-free moment.

I love an origin story!! Your imagination can go just about anywhere. Up to now, most Waffle-Free origin stories have been about the big things: time, humans, the world… This story is on a slightly smaller scale

It’s also episode #100 on Waffle-Free Storytelling (woohoo!)

Fill your mug with something delightful, put your feet up, and join me for a waffle-free moment.

Life is to be fully and well-lived. Sometimes though, we look at the time we’ve spent on earth and we don’t like what we see. This is a story about life, death and living well in between.

Here’s a story where the bad guy gets away with it! It also explains why we love trees so much, why rustling leaves sound like whispers, and why forests are always so full of life.

Part 2 of the story explains why we have Christmas trees!! It’s called “How Christmas Trees Came About”.

What happened to all the immortals?! This is a question that might drift through your mind at the end of a sunny day, halfway through your best holiday, where the world seems to have disappeared and left the stars to you and you alone.

Sit back, enjoy a mug of something lovely and enjoy this waffle-free explanation.
