The face you look at in the mirror is never the face others see, but when we look at ourselves from a different viewpoint then we can see the changes that will make us better. They are tools for change, they break the barriers of rigid thinking. They empower us to think in a lateral way, they illuminate the way forward to a better path. They help us to recognize the causes of our problems. Metaphors enable us to create new patterns of thought.

Created by an author with a track history of generating entertaining and fascinating stories, both from real life and imagination, these tales will captivate and entertain the listeners who are taken to situations and events which strike a chord with all of us.
