Dominoes Effect
Dominoes Effect was conceived by a group of six, 60+ friends who gather monthly for an afternoon of Mexican Train dominoes, accompanied by food, laughter and of course, conversations that move randomly through a myriad of topics including Medicare, health, theatre, electric bikes and how Judie with an "ie" has become the new Karen (of course there is a story there)! Some topics are best reserved for a mature listener group because....well, it's the Dominoes Effect!
After months of creative yet foggy minds molding the Dominoes Effect podcast into it's initial form, the group realized the complexity of recording a podcast while playing live rounds of Mexican Train. Thus, the Dominoes Effect podcast content is created from a variety of sources including conversations from the monthly gathering of friends, world events (yes, politics included) and the life journey of its host and guests. The podcast will bring in guests to share their knowledge and insights - making each episode unique as it evolves live!
You may not become wiser from tuning into the Dominoes Effect podcast, but your life's journey will be fuller, and you will learn to hold each moment before letting it go into the universe!
"If you let yourself be absorbed completely, if you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh
