Chicken Soup - Think Positive - Review & Giveaway


With the car accident that Marc was involved in the other day, thanks to the Atlanta Ice...
I could not think of a better time to tell you about one of the latest Chicken Soup for the Soul Books!
I have been reading Chicken Soup for the Soul : Think Positive and man, there are some great messages in there!
Book Synopsis:

101 Inspirational Stories about Counting Your Blessings and Having a Positive Attitude

Every cloud has a silver lining. With its 101 stories of optimism, faith, and strength, this book will encourage readers to stay positive during challenging times and in their everyday lives. Readers will be inspired by these real-life stories from people just like them, taking a positive attitude to the ups and downs of life, and remembering to be grateful and count their blessings. This book continues Chicken Soup for the Soul's focus on inspiration and hope and its stories remind us that each day holds something to be thankful for. A great start to the New Year.


With 101 stories, they have broken the book down into 10 sections.

The 10 sections are:
Words that Changed My Life
Health Challenges
Everyday is Special
Role Models
Counting Your Blessings
Overcoming Adversity
Attitude Adjustments
Silver Linings
Moving Forward
Gratitude

As with all of the Chicken Soup Books, each story starts with a simple quote.

I think that the one that hit home for me the most is:
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. - William James

To me, the story that I liked the best just happened to be the last...

Waiting with a Smile...

by Leah M. Cano

"A smile is over in a flash, but the memory of it lasts a lifetime."


Two of my lucky readers will win a copy of their very own...
To keep or share will be hard to decide!

Want to win?

Mandatory Entry :
