Chicken Soup for the Soul with Amy Newmark

Latest Episodes:

Magical, Miraculous Cats Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you from our latest bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Life Lessons from the Cat. We created this book because we learn so much from our cats—they show us how to be better humans and they teach us about resilience and fortitude and loyalty. And then there are the times when they just make us laugh, and it’s because of how they get away with breaking our rules because they’re so cute. They’re also so independent that they’ll often choose their humans, rather than the other way around. And sometimes the way they come into our families is just plain magical, as in the two stories I’m going to share today.
