I know it's a few weeks before spring is actually here, but having the time change so early this year, really threw me for a loop! The late winter chill was still in the air today as I zipped up my down-filled jacket, for what I hope will be, the last time this year. I think what I need is a big bowl of Chicken Soup (for the Soul). It warms the heart and makes everything alright, doesn't it?

I'll toot my horn for just a moment as I share with you the wonderful news about my article being published in the next Jack Canfield, Chicken Soup for the Soul series book, Power Moms. With a thousand plus entries, my article, It Happened in an Instant, ( Simon & Schuster 2009) was selected to appear in the book with notable power moms such as, editor/author, Wendy Walker, authors, Jodi Picoult, Jane Green, and Jill Kargman; Mary Himes, wife of Congressman Jim Himes, and Jillian Barberie-Reynolds, co-host of Good Day LA, to name a few.

I hope that you'll find the time to read the 101 stories that make up this touching and meaningful book and just for reading and playing along, you can WIN one of five signed copies of the book from me! (you can purchase the book by clicking here)

Log on to my blog, (Green Mom Blog) and enter a comment about "Why you or someone you know is a Power Mom," then, on April 30th, 2009, I'll randomly select an entry and the winner will be notified via email. Your personally signed book will be mailed to your designated address.
