From Chicken Poop to Soup

Book excerpt: Have you ever looked at someone else’s life and assumed it was perfect, and despaired because you knew you could never have such a great life? Has your self-esteem ever been so low that you wished that you were anyone but you? Have you ever longed for the love of a parent or grandparent but couldn’t get it? Have you ever felt betrayed by the one you loved the most? Have you ever felt like you had your heart ripped out? Have you ever been told that you could never be more than you are? Have you ever stared death in the face—and decided it would be a better option? Do you continue to choose relationships that are dead ends? You’re not alone. Author Karen Cherry has been there…and then been there again. But her life’s path wasn’t made of poop—there was just a little in the road. She stepped right over it on her way to something greater, and you can too.
