Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks to My Mom -
We are collecting stories of thanks written by sons and daughters of all ages
about their moms and stepmoms. Tell us what your mom has done for you and why
you are grateful to her. Is she always right? Do you still turn to her for
advice? Have you turned into your mother even though you vowed you never would?
Share your best stories-ones that will make us laugh, cry, or nod our heads in
recognition. We are not looking for general tributes (we know your mom is
terrific) nor are we looking for biographies or eulogies. We are looking for
specific anecdotes about what your mom or stepmom did for you-something you
want to thank her for. The deadline for story and poem submissions is September
30, 2014.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Hope
and Miracles Everyone has experienced
events in their lives that cause wonder and astonishment and give them hope for
a better future. Why did these things happen? Were they answered prayers? Did
divine intervention have something to do with it? Share your inspirational true
stories with us to remind us that each day holds hope and that a miracle can
happen at any time. The deadline for story and poem submissions is October 30,
2014.
