| Messages from Heaven, Win Your Free Copy! |
Chicken Soup for the Soul's latest book, Messages from Heaven was released February 28th.
My story about Garrett's trip to heaven was selected so I've been super excited about seeing the book. When the UPS truck delivered my copies I tore open the box. Quickly I turned to the table of contents to see where my story was. When I saw the listings I screamed so loud I scared the squirrels outside. My story is the FIRST in the book! A blurb about the story is also listed on the back cover and in the press release going out nationwide! Can someone say thrilled??
Several of you have already told me you'd like a copy so I'm planning a book signing soon. Details to follow! But for now, would you like to win a free copy? All you have to do is read the post below, What is Your Then When? and post a comment on my blog. I'll pick a winner next Monday, March 26th!

Amanda is too focused on her issue to realize it now, but she's too stressed to be happy.
Debbie is dealing with an entirely different issue. Struggling to balance her career, family and the responsibilities of taking care of her aging mother, her only pleasurable indulgence is her nightly ritual of hot fudge and ice cream. "After everyone's in bed, it's the only time I have to completely unwind," says Debbie. "That's when I remind myself, it won't always be like this. Someday, I'll get my life back." Debbie feels guilty for being happy for too long. As soon as the ice cream melts, it's time to get back to reality.
