The latest entry in the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul book series features submissions from two local residents: Glynis Belec and Caroline Sealey.
For Belec, a freelance writer and children’s author, the work is her third contribution to the Chicken Soup series, which features collections of inspirational stories from a variety of authors.
Her first was a piece called A Mother’s Intuition which was featured in Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman’s Soul, while in In Chicken Soup for the Soul: Angels Among Us, Belec shared a story called A Tim Hortons Angel, about how a chance encounter with a caring stranger provided her with inspiration that aided her in her battle with cancer.
In the recently-released Chicken Soup for the Soul: From Lemons to Lemonade, Belec tells the story of Zeal For Teal, a unique local fundraiser for ovarian cancer which Belec, along with her daughter, Amanda, has been organizing since 2009.
In her first submission to the series, Sealey tells how she went From Worker to Owner in one life-changing move.
A press release from the series publisher states, “When life hands you lemons … make lemonade! This collection is full of inspiring true stories from others who did just that, and will help you make the best of any bad situation.”
Locally, the book is available at Studio Factor and Bloomingdales in Drayton or through gbelec@bell.net.
