Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we’ve been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers.

We all know that “accidents happen”. It’s a time-old adage passed from generation to generation to try to help people through tough situations. Often, when accidents happen, there’s no one to really blame for the consequences, but consequences there are. Whether someone is trying to get past an old fear, go through rehab or physical therapy, or face some other hardship, there’s always more strength in one person’s courage and determination than there is in any problem. Through these difficult experiences, people are often able to find hope and faith beyond what they might have had without the experience. Accidents do happen, and though that’s a hard truth, often it’s less about the accident and more about how you get through it and learn from it.
