Chicken Soup for the Soul: Time to Thrive This title deliberately has a double meaning: 1) You need to
make time in your busy life to thrive; and 2) It's time to thrive-no more
putting off those life changes you know you should make. If you have a story
about taking time to thrive, i.e. pursue a passion, find your purpose, improve
your wellbeing, or if you realized it was time to thrive and you did something
about it, we want to hear from you. Were you stuck in the same old routine for
years? Did you feel that your life had no purpose? What did you do to transform
yourself and create balance and meaning in your life? Did you start a
completely new career, have a travel adventure or find a new hobby? Was it a
new love interest or an attitude adjustment that helped you thrive? We want to
hear your stories. Stories can be serious or funny, but we definitely want them
to inspire our readers to take that first step towards happiness, fulfillment,
and growth. The deadline for story and poem submissions is December 31, 2014. http://www.chickensoup.com/story-submissions/possible-book-topics
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Support for Therapists/Mental Health Professionals Therapists and mental health counselors listen to people's
problems all day. But where's the "chicken soup for the soul" for
them? Who supports the therapists and mental health professionals? We’re
looking for stories from therapists and mental health professionals about how
you get through your day. How do you separate your clients' pain from your own
life? Share your advice and support with your colleagues. And if you have been
client of one of these fine professionals and you want to tell them how much they
helped you, for moral support, please submit your story as well. The deadline
for story and poem submissions is December 31, 2014. http://www.chickensoup.com/story-submissions/possible-book-topics
