Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m going to share a couple of stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Attitude of Gratitude, stories about how if you look for the silver lining, you’ll find it. That’s the attitude I try to cultivate: Whenever something bad is happening to me I start looking for the silver lining. That’s not to say that the silver lining will necessarily offset the entire bad thing, but at least it’s a spot of good in the middle of the bad.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m going to share a couple of stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Miracles and the Unexplainable, stories about people who express their faith that God will provide and then experience miracles in which their prayers are answered.

Forgiveness Is Incredibly Liberating Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I’m going to share with you one of my most popular pieces on Medium. If you don’t know what Medium is, it’s a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else’s publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly in two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Have you ever wished you had more friends? Or you’ve moved and you don’t know anyone? I think we all come to that point in our lives.

We have a new book out called Chicken Soup for the Soul: Me and My Dog. Which is all about the magic of sharing life with a dog. After all, they keep us company, provide so much unconditional love, share in the ups and downs of our lives, and definitely make every day an adventure. And they can be remarkably human, even needing a little therapy, just like their human family members. And sometimes that therapy comes in the form of a cat.

Do It Afraid Aug 16, 2024

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Do you ever think that maybe you should focus a little more on stepping outside your comfort zone and broadening your world? I think we all have the tendency to stop doing new things… because it’s easier. But then we’re surprised when we try doing something new, or going to a new place, or meeting a new person, and we really enjoy it. Saying “yes” is something that we can ALL do, and it only takes a second to just plain decide that you will make that your new policy.
