Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some new favorites for you from our new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: A Book of Christmas Miracles.

When You’re the One Receiving That Free Turkey or Those Gifts Left on Your Doorstep Nov 19, 2018

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark and it’s time for some Instant Inspiration from Chicken Soup for the Soul. With the holidays approaching, I’m eager to share a bunch of great Thanksgiving and Christmas stories with you, and many of them are about giving… and receiving. Because one of the themes that I come across as an editor is what it’s like to be on the receiving end of that free turkey, or gifts of groceries left anonymously on a doorstep. Many of our writers tell us that during the ups and downs of their lives, they’ve sometimes been the people receiving those gifts. And they tell us how it feels, and how they came to grips with feeling grateful for the gifts and not embarrassed that they need the help.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some instant inspiration for you for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Because everyone does Thanksgiving differently.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark and it’s Friend Friday. Judy Goss is joining us today. She just put on a three-day extravaganza in Atlanta, the What Women Want conference.

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some new favorites for you from our latest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Dreams and the Unexplainable. I am very excited about today’s podcast because I have two great stories for you about the power of your mind to find things that you thought were lost. One of the things that I’ve learned from our two Chicken Soup for the Soul books about dreams is how much knowledge we have in our brains that we just don’t access during our waking hours.
