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: What I Learned from My Dog. We really do learn so much from our dogs--our best friends. They truly make us better versions of ourselves, and they show us the power of gratitude and forgiveness and resilience. They know when we need comforting and they know when we need to laugh. And if they are rescue dogs, they find a way to rescue us back. Life with a dog is always an adventure, too, including when your very good dog is also your very bad dog. In today's stories you'll meet two lovable bad dogs, starting with Chip Kirkpatrick's big yellow Labrador Retriever, Barney. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Do you ever think that maybe you should focus a little more on stepping outside your comfort zone and broadening your world? I think we all have the tendency to stop doing new things… because it's easier. But then we're surprised when we try doing something new, or going to a new place, or meeting a new person, and we really enjoy it. Saying “yes” is something that we can ALL do, and it only takes a second to just plain decide that you will make that your new policy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I'm going to share with you my most popular piece on Medium. If you don't know what Medium is, it's a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else's publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly on two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing. One of my most popular stories appeared in a publication called The Narrative Arc, and it's called “You Have Permission to Remove Toxic People from Your Life” which is something I talk about pretty often because it took me so long to figure it out!

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and we're talking about dogs a lot this month because our new book is out—What I Learned from My Dog. We spent two years collecting the stories for this book and they are really entertaining, but also pretty inspirational, because they show us how fabulous the dogs in our lives are. We learn so much from our canine best friends—like how to be forgiving and grateful and live in the moment. The stories in this book can be really funny too, what with all the stories we have about dogs being dogs… like when they get into trouble but we end up bragging up whatever bad thing they did. And they are quite the heroes too, always knowing when we need comforting or when we're sick. And if they are rescues, they somehow figure out how to return the favor by rescuing us too.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it's Wow Wednesday. We had Wow Wednesdays on the podcast years ago and I don't know why I stopped, because the stories are so worth telling. Today I'm sharing three of my favorite stories about family bonds that persist after death, amazing coincidences that are basically unexplainable, and the messages that a daughter got from her late mother, and that a granddaughter got from her grandfather, both as he was dying and then after his death. I know the people who wrote these stories and they really did happen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ấn phẩm được dịch từ nguyên tác “Tough Times Won't Last But Tough People Will” (xuất bản lần đầu năm 2021), trong đó nhiều người từ khắp nơi trên thế giới đã kể lại những trải nghiệm đáng nhớ của bản thân, cũng như cách họ vượt qua bão dông cuộc đời. Đó có thể là khó khăn tài chính, sức khoẻ; biến động công việc; những ngày tháng chôn chân trong nhà, những bức bối khi thấy cuộc sống và mọi kế hoạch trật khỏi đường ray; và cả những lúc ta phải đau đớn nói lời tạm biệt người thân yêu… Đi qua những chuỗi ngày bão dông ấy, những nhân vật trong sách tìm thấy ánh sáng của hy vọng, sức mạnh niềm tin và cả ý chí kiên cường. Như cách hàng xóm láng giềng hay đồng nghiệp giúp đỡ nhau; cách ta tìm ra những vẻ đẹp bình dị của cuộc sống; hay cùng chia sẻ niềm vui và sự tích cực với gia đình, bạn bè, bất chấp những nghịch cảnh bao quanh… Sách cũng kể về những nỗi niềm trăn trở của người trẻ về khủng hoảng bản sắc cá nhân giữa một thế giới đề cao nhiều thành tựu hào nhoáng bên ngoài.

If you don't know what Medium is, it's a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else's publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly in two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing. This story appeared in a publication called Crow's Feet, and it's called “How I Knew My Mother Was Having a Stroke.” It's a useful reminder of how to react if you think you might be witnessing someone having a stroke. Because, as the subtitle of my story says, Every minute counts when the brain is erasing itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Have you ever surprised yourself by doing something because you're on a mission and then later you just can't believe that you pulled that off? Sometimes, we just fly right through our comfort zones because we're so focused on what we're trying to accomplish. It's cool when that happens because I feel like it permanently changes you—you never go back all the way to how you were before. You now know that you can things that you didn't think were possible.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Do you ever feel like you're missing out because you're starting to resist doing new things? I know I have to fight against that impulse all the time, that impulse to avoid new things even for simple reasons like I don't know where to park at whatever place I'm thinking of going. It's really easy to fall into a rut and accidentally let your world become smaller. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. With winter ending, you may be seeing more action in your calendar, and this reminds me that we've published a lot of stories from people who realized that OTHER PEOPLE were taking over their calendars and imposing activities on them that they DID NOT WANT TO DO. I don't know if you've ever found yourself saying, “I should do that, or I should see that person, or I should help out at that event” but you really don't want to. And other people don't seem to find themselves always saddled with these obligations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. With spring on its way, I thought it would be good to talk about nature and why you should go on a nature kick and get out there.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and with spring coming, it's getting more colorful out there. But what about color in our lives, not just in nature? Today I want to talk about color and boldness and stepping forward to participate more in life. Whether it's your clothing, your home décor, or the projects that you do, are you having fun with color? What prompts me to ask this is a terrific story that we published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Curvy & Confident. The story is called “A Flowering” because that's what it's about—a person learning to blossom instead of hiding herself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

My most popular story so far appeared on a publication called Crow's Feet, and it's called “What You Shouldn't Say to a Cancer Patient.” I wrote it one night after having a couple of glasses of wine and it's basically a rant about all the things that well meaning people said to me when I was diagnosed with cancer. So, if you've ever had cancer, I think you'll enjoy this. And if you never know what to say when someone shares their bad news with you, perhaps this will help. Learn more about your ad choices.

And she discovered how much healthier her hair was when she stopped dyeing it.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Are you competing to be the favorite grandparent? Grandparenting is so different these days—the unconditional love and mutual admiration between grandchildren and grandparents are still the same, but what's different for many families is they are so spread out. Sometimes they live in different countries, or hundreds of miles apart, or the grandchildren need to see multiple sets of grandparents because of divorces. So grandparents have to get creative—and travel a lot, and use Skype or Facetime, or pair up with other grandparents to share events. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. II don't know about you but I still feel like it's New Year's because I'm still making resolutions. When I think about it, I'm actually making resolutions all year as I try to develop better habits. And one of those habits is to try to remember the good every day and not just focus on what happens to be going wrong at any given time. Making a habit of focusing on good things is a common self-help theme that we see in our stories… because it really works. And that's what I'm going to talk about today, with two stories from our new book about 101 ways to think positive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. This is the time of year when we are already re-examining our New Year's resolutions and deciding which ones are actually do-able. I want to share one today that is an all-year resolution for me and my husband, and that is to face our fears and have more fun as a result. We are constantly fighting off that tendency to NOT do something new, usually for some dumb reason like we don't know where to park there. But we've gotten way better about doing new things, eating new things, going to new places, having new experiences. So when you're thinking about your New Year's resolutions, you might want to add one about facing your fears or insecurities. And that's what I'm going to talk about today, with two stories from our new book about 101 ways to think positive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Everyone knows the old classics—stop smoking, eat less, exercise more, be neater... and we're going to talk about some of those resolutions this month.

And today we're going to talk about the power of saying yes to new things. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
