    Getting to Know Dad and Find Forgiveness

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Let It Go, which is our latest best-selling self-help book. I didn’t really understand the power of forgiveness to change my life until I started doing this editor-in-chief job at Chicken Soup for the Soul 18 years ago. I always thought that the word “forgiveness” meant that you were excusing the person who hurt you, saying that it was okay. But it turns out that “forgiveness” doesn’t mean that. What it actually means is that you have decided not to keep reliving all the negative feelings associated with whatever bad thing happened to you. You may even come to understand WHY it happened and what drove the other person to act that way, which enables you to NOT take it personally. Because it was never really about you. It was about themselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited about sharing stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Celebrating the Spirit of America, our way of participating in the 250th birthday of the U.S. Our new book goes back to our roots as Americans, with stories that showcase our pride in our country, our industrious nature, our creativity and can-do attitude, our kindness. That’s the true spirit of America. And, also, America as the land of opportunity, a place that welcomed hard-working immigrants. A land of kindness too, and one where we’re aware of what unites us way more than what divides us. Like how things were after 9/11 We were one big nation then. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it’s Wow Wednesday, which is when I find awe-inspiring or surprising stories to share with you. Today I’ve got a couple of cool stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Let Your Dreams and Premonitions Guide You. The stories in this book show you how you can use your dreams and premonitions as a kind of GPS or user manual for your life. I don’t know about you but I’ve had dreams in which I was talking to my grandmother or my mother and they seem so alive in those dreams. Whether you think those dreams are generated by your own mind, or whether you think they are of heavenly origin, they can have a big impact on you. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited to share more stories with you from our latest humor book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can’t Stop Laughing. You know, I read the trade press about what’s going on in publishing, so I know what people are buying and reading these days. And what they’re looking for is light reading, entertainment, sunshine in their days. So I feel like this new book, which is already doing so well in stores, is filling a real need. I think it’s something like our sixth humor book in the last six years, and we have more coming next year too. We’ve got stories from people who make fun of themselves, tell stories on their family members and friends and colleagues, share their most embarrassing moments, and also share some great anecdotes about their cats and dogs. After all, pets can be so funny. So today I’m sharing a couple of stories about dogs in an episode called What Has the Dog Done Now? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited to share a couple of stories with you from our latest humor book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can’t Stop Laughing. This book is a true gift – one you can give yourself or anyone else in your life.

The 101 stories in this new collection will make you feel good, and they’re all true, related to us by the people who lived through these hilarious and truly human experiences. No one is safe from our storytellers, from family members to friends to colleagues, and of course, themselves. Our storytellers are very good at sharing their own most embarrassing moments, and the most embarrassing moments of their family members too, as Vera-Marie Landi does in our first story today.
