I wish Suzzane was here to let her know National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day – is celebrated every November 12th. A heartwarming holiday that honors the inspirational book series Chicken Soup for the Soul sharing uplifting stories that have been shared with millions.
Chicken Soup for the Soul is a day to reflect on personal growth, kindness, and the power of storytelling to heal and connect. It’s also time to slow down and read a book or two or even three. I have a question for you. Have you read any of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books? If so do you have a favorite Chicken Soup of the Soul Book and why?
I have several Chicken Soup for the Soul books I kept that were gifts from Suzzane who used to read the books with me. My mother-in-law also has several of the books which I will get if something happens to her.
Ways to Celebrate #ChickenSoupForTheSoulDay
