Today’s Special: Chicken Soup

By Susan | October 15, 2007, 9:50 pm

Do you know a working mother who might like a little boost after an extra chaotic day? Are you one of these fantastic women*?

If you answered yes, then pick up a copy of Chicken Soup for the Working Mom’s Soul, a collection of thoughtful and humorous essays about the challenges of juggling family, careers and that little thing called life. The book happens to include my essay — my first published credit. Yeah!

Hey, and that whole juggling concept isn’t a bad idea – perhaps I should start a blog about it. Or write a novel using it. Or…

*All of us multi-tasking mamas are working moms — and fantastic ones, too. But you already knew that, didn’t you?

   Yay you! I’ll definitely have to check it out. I don’t know if chicken soup is what this working mom’s soul needs — a glass of red wine sounds a whole lot better. But that probably doesn’t look as good on the shelves!

   MQ, thanks for your comment. Hey, some days call for a literary hug, some days wine, some a shot of tequila…

   I bought a copy for myself on Wednesday, too, Susan. I read your story just this morning. It’s great; it made me tear up. This is me cheering for you: woooo hoooo!

   Terry, Lulu, Madame, and Sophie – thank you so much. It’s just a teeny tiny step for the publishing world, but one giant leap for me .
