Chicken Soup for the Chicken at Heart
(Plant Your Dream!)

Chicken at Heart? We deserve a Chicken Soup for the Soul Book Too! says Your Enchanted Gardener

Well, I was just looking over the
Chicken Soul for the Soul Site!
My, or My!

Went to see my Publishing Bud and Mentor
Mark Victor Hansen on Sunday, and so
I thought I would check out the upcoming
Chicken Soup Books that are in the IDEA stage.

The Goal set in 1993, was to have
1 billion sold by 2020. I believe they are
over 100 million last time I heard.

I did some Seed Dream work for
the Original Book #1.

You can read about that story on this Blog written
today:

I am going to suggest to Jack Canfield
that We do one called
"Chicken Soup for the Chicken at Heart!"
I am sure I could be a great Co-editor for that!

I have a Chicken streak that really comes up
at times. Luckily, I also have a Enchanted Gardener's
Soul as well. When they get together it is Peace on Earth!

Here is the Opening Poem I would suggest
for "Chicken Soup for the Chicken at Heart":

Chicken Meditation

It must have started well before dawn,
for sure the mist blanketed the pre-morning
and the mother sun had not awaken.
This rooster,
it really had something to say,
and it said it, over and over for an hour
or more, and never once stopped,
except between respite,
to deliver it’s morning message.
I never heard
such a glorious display of power,
of perfect positive affirmation.
It told the whole universe where to go,
and wasn’t going to take no flack
or feathers from anyone.
