Chicken Soup for the Soul with Amy Newmark

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you from our newest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grandparents. I’ll be sharing 15 stories from the book with you on the podcast, all about grandmothers and grandfathers, and so many of these stories are really magical. Like today’s stories about two grandfathers who created magical adventures for their grandchildren. These are the kinds of stories that stick with you long after you’ve heard them, and we can all relate to that special bond that kids have with their grandparents.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you and today I want to talk about spring-cleaning, which is right around the corner. I am guilty of holding onto way too much stuff, so I went back and read our book about The Joy of Less and now I have new resolve to get rid of half my possessions. Today I’m going to share two stories that worked for me three years ago when I took at least ten carloads of clothing and other items to the church thrift shop. I think these stories are going to help me do the same thing again this spring.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with some new inspiration for you from our latest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Messages from Heaven and Other Miracles. This is the book I’ve been sharing with you over the past couple of months—two dozen stories in all on this podcast. Because this book is a huge bestseller for us and there’s a reason for that—because we all hope and dream that when we lose someone there’s still some kind of connection.
