The crisis growing with iran following that u. S. Drone strike that killed irans top military commander. Millions of people taking to the streets of iran to pay their respects to general soleimani, and take a look. An ominous sign, this red religious flag raised over a mosque in iran, a symbolic call to arms. That is a vow of vengeance as President Trump touched down in washington overnight, the fallout is spreading. Iran has announced they will no longer honor the 2015 nuclear agreement. Theyre going to ramp up nuclear production. The Iraqi Parliament voted to push u. S. Troops out of that country, and President Trump is pushing back with threats of economic sanctions against iraq and possible war crimes against iran. All this as a terror group loyal to al qaeda killed three americans on a military base in kenya. So much. Our team is spread out from washington to iran. Martha raddatz is there starting us off with the latest. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. I have been in the midst of antiamerica protests in iran before, but nothing like this. A powerful combination of grief and anger with shouts of death to america echoing through the streets around us. This morning, mourners filling the streets of irans capital of tehran for the funeral of general soleimani killed by that u. S. Drone strike last week. Aerial images capturing the sea of iranians packing the streets to pay tribute to a man revered by many here. Trump made a big mistake. He killed our hero. Reporter soleimanis image everywhere. The impact of his death profound. The crowds are massive and emotional. There are many tears here, many signs with soleimanis picture on them, but the message is also very clear. These people want revenge. Are you human or not . Reporter as we made our way through the streets of tehran, people surrounding us, shouting death to america. We will have very hard revenge of mr. Trump. Reporter inside the funeral service, the emotion just as powerful. The Supreme Leader of iran weeping and praying over a coffin draped in the iraqi flag. This is the largest funeral in iran since the death of the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989. Today, calls for jihad. Today calls for jihad. Members of the Iranian Parliament also chanting death to america, and a red flag symbolizing a declaration of war, raised above an iranian mosque on saturday. Soleimanis replacement as head of the quds force calling for revenge. The leader of iranianbacked hezbollah saying american soldiers and officers will be going home in coffins. And soleimanis own daughter making a televised plea with hezbollah to take revenge for the blood of her father. This morning, the iranian government announcing theyre suspending commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal, abandoning limits on enriching uranium and stockpiling nuclear fuel. This as iraq has now voted to expel all american troops and submitting a complaint against the u. S. For violation of sovereignty to the united nations. Just six months ago when we were here, some people were critical of their leaders because of the effect of american sanctions, but today for now at least, they are united against america, robin . Martha, as you know, were already sending an additional 4,500 troops to the region. You kind of alluded to it earlier when you started your piece in saying you have never had this sense being there in iran before like this, whats going on on the ground. Reporter well, exactly. I dont think people here want an allout war, but they do want revenge for the death of soleimani, but the next move is all up to iran, robin. Okay, martha. Thank you. Its so hard to calibrate, and as all this is unfolding in iraq and iran, an african terror group which pledges allegiance to al qaeda attacked a u. S. Military base in kenya. One American Service member, two defense characters were killed in the attack. Al shabaab claimed responsibility. In the face of the new threats, President Trump is lashing out with new threats of his own taking on iran and iraq, taunting congress. Cecilia vega at the white house with the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter george, good morning to you. President trump has repeatedly said he does not want to see endless wars in the middle east, but this latest threat brings us closer than ever to conflict with iran, and democrats want to know why now, and theyre demanding to see evidence of the white houses claim that this attack on soleimani was in response to an eminent threat. This morning, President Trump is back at the white house is threatening a swift and potentially disproportionate response if iran retaliates. Despite the escalating tension, the president and his aides insist killing Qasem Soleimani was the right move. Its clear the world is a safer place today. Qasem soleimani no longer walks the planet. Reporter the president also threatened to target 52 iranian sites important to them and the iranian culture if iran strikes back, a potential International War crime and violation of the geneva convention. Secretary of state mike pompeo in damage control mode. Why is the president threatening iran with war crimes . Well behave lawfully. Well behave inside the system. We always have, and we always will. Reporter just hours later, President Trump saying the exact opposite, telling reporters, quote, theyre allowed to kill our people. Theyre allowed to torture and maim our people, and were not allowed to touch their cultural site . It doesnt work that way. The New York Times reporting military leaders were stunned when President Trump decided to kill soleimani. Top brass viewing his death as the most extreme option they presented to the president , and according to the paper initially President Trump did not take it. But he changed his mind after seeing news reports of iranianbacked attacks on the American Embassy in baghdad. Some democrats lashing out saying the white house has yet to provide proof of its claim that soleimanis death was in response to an imminent threat. Look, Everybody Knows that soleimani was a very bad, despicable guy. Theres no debate there, but the claim of an imminent threat they have not supported. Reporter any military action requires congressional notification, but President Trump now says his tweets should serve as formal notice to lawmakers. Its President Trump raising his middle finger at the congress. Reporter Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing the house will vote on a resolution this week to limit the president s military actions in iran calling the attack that killed soleimani provocative and disproportionate. And now President Trump is threatening iraq. He told reporters overnight that if the country goes through with this parliamentary vote to remove Foreign Military from the country, he will make them repay the billions he says it cost to build an air base there. He says, we are not leaving unless they pay us back, and george, quote, we will charge them sanctions like they have never seen before. George . So cecilia, in congress right now nancy pelosi, you said, is going to be pushing for a vote to stall any new military action. You have democrats also continuing to raise questions about the intelligence, whether it really showed if an attack was imminent. Reporter so far, george, the administration has kept its reasoning for this attack on soleimani classified. Now two Top Senate Democrats are calling on the president to immediately and completely declassify this information. Its Chuck Schumer and bob menendez. They are writing, quote, an entirely classified notification is simply not appropriate in a democratic society. We heard the same thing from pelosi over the weekend. She called this highly unusual, george. Cecilia vega, thanks very much. Amy . George, concerns are obviously growing about the threat here at home. Homeland security announcing over the weekend the agency is in, quote, enhanced security mode. Pierre thomas joins us from washington and, pierre, dhs issuing a very serious bulletin in response to killing the iranian general . Reporter amy, good morning. Thats right, a stark new bulletin was issued over the weekend. Its blunt saying, quote, iran and its partners such hezbollah have demonstrated the intent and capability to conduct operations in the united states. And while no specific plot has been identified, the bulletin poignantly says, quote, an attack on the homeland may come with little or no warning. The bulletin also warns homegrown radicals may try to take advantage of this tense moment, amy. Pierre, the bulletin specifically mentions a cyber threat from iran. Reporter the bulletin does emphasize potential iranian cyber attacks. We learned federal cybersecurity officials talked about this to industry and government agencies. Iranian hackers are good at convincing employees to click on links and emails that may look like theyre from colleagues or friends, and using that to gain access to take over computer networks. This could lead to problems like the attacks against banks where customers are blocked from accounts and there could be disruptions of power, amy. All right, Pierre Thomas from d. C. We will continue to keep you updated on this all morning long. Were also following a lot of other stories. Take a look at this. An investigation is under way into a deadly pileup along the pennsylvania turnpike. At least 5 people were killed, and another 60 were injured. The Pennsylvania State police say early sunday morning, a bus lost control just southeast of pittsburgh. Then two semis crashed into it. A passenger vehicle was also involved. Weather was below freezing at the time, and investigators believe that played a role in the crash. George . Such a horrible crash. We turn now to the devastation in australia where thousands of firefighters and First Responders are battling unprecedented wildfires. At least two dozen dead. More than 12 million acres destroyed. Ginger is on the scene in balmoral, australia with the latest. Good morning, ginger. Good morning, george. The people that lived inside this home said they were 30 seconds from becoming a statistic. They had actually put in fireresistant glass. Thats what im holding here. Its just a twisted mess. The metal all twisted. Their home, they said, was just hit by fireballs that just came down and melted in an instant. I want you to look at this map because thats the map of australia over the weekend when 200 fires were burning. Just to give you the scope of this, if you put that superimposed on the united states, that would be like fires burning from california to pennsylvania, wisconsin to florida, an unprecedented and early start to fire season here in australia. Reporter helena wong and justin cam barely made it out of the fire alive. The total disorientation, your sbentire life. You feel like it came from under you. Reporter thats how thousands of people in australia feel today. The skies over parts of their nation turned blood orange. So far, 24 people have been killed. We knew the wildfires in california were huge in 2018, and last year the fires in the amazon were even bigger, but since september, the fires here in australia have already burned more than three times both those events combined. I asked experts what makes wildfires different here, and it really comes down to the types of trees. We have pines and firs, but here its all eucalyptus trees and the Eucalyptus Oil inside is extremely flammable. Right behind me, a sea of those flammable trees that were extra parched from a driest year on record and the hottest year on record. More than 4,500 firefighters and support personnel are trying to stop the blazes, including 77 brought in from america. 21 more arriving today. And theyre going to go for a few more months at least. Reporter even the skies over parts of new zealand splattered with haze and that orange glow, but this morning, its australias animals who are some of the hardest hit. Theres estimates of hundreds of millions of australian native species that have been killed as a result of this devastating fires. Reporter reports that half of the koala population has been wiped out. The zoo in sydney taking in koala evacuees. A dozen rescued. This is quarantine. This is a quarantine area so were obviously keeping these animals isolated. Reporter we are inside the quarantine where 12 koalas were rescued by science for wildlife. Now if you look right over here, you can see that these females actually have joeys with them. So it was a population they have had been watching for some time. They knew that the fire could potentially take out their habitat, and it did. So it was a good thing they got them when they did. Now Climate Change, arson and Land Management are all issues that experts and locals are telling me came together to make this supercharged season. Speaking of the season, we should have just been getting into it. Theyve still got two peak months to go through february. Even though the weather is cooler, a little wetter and certainly going to be cloudier the next two days, by thursday and friday, that heat and low humidity returns. Guys . The scale of that fire is just staggering. It is. We have a lot more on those wildfires. How you can help, and thats coming up in our next hour. So many of our viewers asking how you can help. Ginger will let you know. Now were going to turn to questions about tom bradys future. His new England Patriots knocked out of the playoffs, ending a season much earlier than hes used to and also potentially ending his patriots career. Hes a certain future hall of famer, sixtime super bowl champ. Paula faris is here with this. Good morning, paula. Good morning, you guys. Hes been playing since the turn of the century and its hard to imagine an nfl team or the new England Patriots team without tom brady. He has three options right now. He can resign with new england, play for another team, or retire, but that last option seems highly unlikely. Reporter this morning, it could be the end of an era as questions swirl about whether or not this interception was the final throw of tom bradys career in new england. Bradys pass is intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Reporter this saturday night upset to the Tennessee Titans abruptly ended the patriots season leaving the 42yearold on uncertain ground as an unrestricted free agent, meaning brady could retire, be resigned by the patriots or head to another team for the first time in his career. Brady says dont count him out just yet. Is there any possibility that you would retire after this last season . I would say its pretty unlikely, but yeah. Hopefully unlikely. Reporter and the always tightlipped coach Bill Belichick not tipping his hand. Theyre all questions that need to be answered at some point in time by the organization, by myself, by the coaching staff, by some of the players. Reporter for nearly 20 years, brady and belichick have built one of the greatest sports dynasties of alltime, winning six super bowls, but this season bradys stats have fallen throwing only 24 touchdowns, the fewest he has thrown since 2006 while playing a full schedule. And at 42 hes one of the oldest quarterbacks in nfl history where the average age for a starting qb is about 30. Still, some sports analysts say bradys not the one to blame. The talk is, oh, its time to get rid of tom brady. What . How about you get rid of everybody else . Get this man some receivers, and lets see what happens. Wherever he goes, if hes going to be the patriots quarterback and finish out his career, get this man some help. Reporter brady has long maintained that he wants to keep playing until hes 45 which would give him three more seasons. The patriots have until midmarch to resign him. If they do not, then tom brady officially becomes a free agent for the first time in his career. He has been in the league for 20 years. You hear a lot of names, l. A. Chargers, colts, steelers. Heard a lot about the chargers as a possibility. It may happen. I know, but gosh, hes won six titles for them. What have you done for me lately . Okay. I said that earlier. You stole it from me. I stole the line from robin. Thank you, paula. Were following a lot of other stories this morning including a big night at the Golden Globes. Brad pitt, Renee Zellweger had a big night. Were going to tell you what it could mean for the oscars. And look whos here. These jeopardy champions are facing off to see whos the greatest of alltime. But first, lets go to rob. Hey, robin, a little snow in stevens pass. Time now for your select cities brought to you by ancestry. It just dawned on me were seeing george for the first time this decade. Welcome back, george.

Colgate optic white. Whitening that works. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta.

Reporter who does alex trebek think will take the title . I have no idea. There are elements that favor each of the three guys. They didnt win that money by accident. Reporter james, ken and brad join us now. Thanks for being here this morning. Im a jeopardy junky. This is very exciting for those who will be watching with bated breath to see who will win. I summed it like that so james is the fastest, ken is the longest and brads got the biggest pot. Those are your superlatives. Who is going to win . The murderer is in this room, amy. Somebody at this table, i bet. I think i saw james with the lead pipe. Tell me how you prepare. Obviously you guys have done your homework to get to where you are today. How do you battle one another . Ordinary thing about jeopardy is you lose youre done. They have created a best of seven format. One of your coworkers cost me some money when he talked about the greatest super bowl of alltime, but hes said to be in the best of seven, they wouldnt have pulled that off. Its designed to let the best contestant to show it over a larger scale. And that best contestant is . Tune in to find out. To be announced on abc. Similar to football you can look back at the tape of your competitors and see what their strengths and weaknesses are. You were studying tapes for this . Not physical tapes anymore, but, you know. Theres things you can the rewind button on the dvr. So the buzzer. Its always about the buzzer. What are your strategies in terms of getting in fastest . You probably all know the answers to everything. Its probably who gets it in faster, right . Im used to being the fastest person on jeopardy and then i play brad or james or god forbid i have to play both at once, and then i feel like a regular person out here. An incredibly daunting competition. A regular person. I love it. You guys already know it. The questions, are they at the same level as other games or are they harder because you guys are the champs . I would say that they definitely step them up a notch for this competition. All right. So i think thats probably as much as i can say without violating ndas and such. So you two have played each other before. You have never played against james. What was your strategy in getting ready for that . Like brad said, we could look at tape. This is the first time where i knew for months who i was going to watch. I was familiar with james by watching every game i could see. You got to see him in person. I did. Thats the benefit of living in l. A. How many hours did you put in to prepare for this tournament .

Its [ cheers and applause ] now to our new series, 20 minutes in 2020 showing you how to make big changes in your life with just a little time each day. Our colleague Jennifer Ashton is here to kick it off. She wrote a beautiful book and its called the selfcare solution. Love that. Yep. What does selfcare mean to you . I didnt know that it was going to be one of the biggest trends of the year, but i think when i have been doing some research into the term, you know, 10, 20 years ago selfhelp was all the rage. It was predicated on the fact something is wrong with you and you need fikxing. Selfcare is more well take you where you are. Nothing needs major overhaul, but you want to do things, whether theyre little or bigger things that can make you feel better shortterm and longterm. When i wrote this, i was coming out of the worst year of my life, and felt like i was doing a lot for others like so many other people do, and i needed to turn that attention to myself with Little Things. Not anything massive. Selfcare is not selfish. Correct. All right. Think about it. Just 20 minutes. We can all find 20 minutes. You find these little challenges to take every month. Exactly. I wanted to design things that cost no money, could be done anywhere, could be done at any level, male, female, old, young, fit, couch potato, you name it. I took it month by month and did each of the experiments and presented the science, gave people tips and divided it up into three categories. Things we eat and drink, how we move or some fitness things and then behaviors like meditation, sleep. One of my favorites was laughter. I tried to get in touch with my inner child and i wore this tiara around. George stephanopoulos saw me walk by and being briefed by my producer and didnt even flinch. We have hydration, stretching. I have the worst posture. The sponge roller. I did a different thing. Youre so honest because you said there were sometimes that you didnt you couldnt quite do the challenge. There were some crashes and burns. This is not about perfection or one of the plans that expects you to achieve a very high level. Even lets say you do these challenges five days out of the month, thats five days more than you were doing the month before. I definitely have some ups and downs and i share that. Not perfection, but progression. I have to write a book. There you go. No, no, no. You built this online community. Theres a social media following that was massive and were going to viinvite people do these with us. The selfcare solution is out now, and jen is so generous. Everybody is going home with a book. Well be right back. Good morning. State lawmakers will discuss borrowing billions of dollars to prepare california for the next natural disaster. Theyre considering a 4. 2 billion proposal for a loan and the money would help reduce wildfire risk, protect farm land and increase water sources.

That was part of the fun. It was, like, yeah. The men are really peripheral, and their relationship and the love story is really between the friendship between the women. So its yeah. Its rare to have that in a film. Yeah. Its usually some kind of backdrop of a romance, but theres not. Are you guys ready to see some of it .

Over the thanksgiving holiday, i was singing a i did a duet of shallow with paul rudd who is a friend of ours. We did a duet, and we did three different versions. We did the original and the live version, and then the miami remix. Whats the miami remix . That was interesting. That was, like that was fun. I dont picture that. Hes amazing. He has a whole ckaraoke set up and the whole nine yards. They take that very seriously. Thats a hard song to sing. If anyone tries. Go easy. Its too hard. Unless youre a professional. Or paul rudd. We saw bobby, and youre toic be working with him here . Were doing a play together. We start previews in a week, january 12th, and we open january 25th. You really wanted to share a message about whats happening in australia. I do. So my beautiful hometown is suffering incredibly tragic, catastrophic fires.

Thank you for all the people doing all the work at home who are trying to stop this. Its really its very, very sad. Bless you for making a difference. Thanks for having thank you for coming. Welcome willilike a boss open. Coming up, how to go debtfree in the new decade. [ applause ] trumpand total disaster. Mplete let obamacare implode. Nurse these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. Ive been a nurse in new york for thirty years. I know the difference leadership can make because i saw what Mike Bloomberg did as mayor. Vo mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40 , covering 700,000 more new yorkers, Life Expectancy increased. He helped expand Health Coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. And as mayor, Mike Bloomberg always championed Reproductive Health for women. So when you hear Mike Bloomberg on health care. Mrb this is america. We can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. Nurse you should know, he did it as mayor, hell get it done as president. Mrb im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. [ cheers and applause ] we are back now with our new series, debtfree decade. Help you get out of the red in the 20s. Rebecca jarvis is here with a story of a family who was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and now they made their way out, and shes going to help you get out of it too. Good to see you. Happy new year. Reporter happy new year, robin, and for people who are out there hearing this, think about it this way. Debt is a claim on your future. It is always hanging over you. Everything you earn. All your plans and all your dreams, the family youre about to meet was more than 250,000 in debt when they said, enough is enough. Meet this family, not long ago they were more than 250,000 in debt. Until they decided to make a big change. My husband was talking to some friends, and he came home one day and he said, i think we should, one, go on a budget, and two, become debtfree. Reporter lauren and her husband kyle were deep in debt due, in part, to car payments, a giant mortgage. Even christmas expenses. Once i saw it, i was shocked and i felt like a little overwhelming. Reporter overwhelming, but not impossible. Their first step, building a new budget. When you do create a budget, you should make it realistic. Notdealistic. You have to account for all the things you do in life, like, dont just cut your grocery budget from 1,000 all of a sudden to 200. Thats not going to work. Thats not realistic. Reporter then selling stuff they werent really using and putting the proceeds towards bills. I do highly recommend paying off the small debts first, getting that momentum and then that gives you pretty much the grit and the strength to keep going. Reporter paying off their entire debt in 33 months, eventually saving enough money to buy their dream home. Since becoming debtfree, i feel like a completely different person. Reporter and congratulations to them. So for everyone who is listening, three more important steps to do when you are deep in debt. First of all, stop using credit cards. These are your highest Interest Rate debts and they grow the fastest. They make you owe more the fastest. Two, create an emergency fund. This should be enough to cover three to six months of expenses, and finally use any additional money at your disposal to pay down debt, robin. It never hurts to pay off more debt. Right. The problem is when you dont pay it off fast enough and it just accumulates over time. What is the one, one, one, one key do you think . Well, i love in their story, the accountability factor. Having that partner, whether its a spouse or a friend that goes along with you on this journey to remind you because its tough. Yeah, it is. Its tough along the way to remind you to keep at it. Keep chipping away. Thank you for bringing this to us. We appreciate it. Lets go over to rob. Were chipping away. Theres a dusting on the ground. Heres what it looked like at lake placid. Thank you, max. Got another system thats going to roll up tonight into tomorrow. D. C. , philly tomorrow around rush hour. Could see dusting and i think farther in thats a look at weather, amy. Over to you. Thanks, rob. We are here now with the supernanny, jo frost who has been helping families navigate parenting for more than 30 years. Her hit show, supernanny, is back, thank goodness, and she has great advice for everybody in your family. Jo, i religiously watched you and my kids were younger. Its been amazing and its been eight years since you have been on the air. Tell us how your approach is different this time around. Well, families change, you know . The world evolves and its about being able to keep up and listen to what families need, and certainly were going to be seeing on lifetime every wednesday a supernanny episode where a family have parental challenges, but certainly taking a look at the bigger issues that were talking about in general in society. Looking at Mental Health and those families that serve military and taking a look at families who have lost and are grieving, and the healing process of that. Im really excited about this supernanny season because it is different in many ways in being able to look at the entire family. Yeah. Its not one size fits all. Everyone has unique needs. They do, and also to take a look at different ages and dynamics of family and what that means. Little kids and big kids. Children. Yeah. Lets take a look at one of the families you are helping. Okay. Postpartum, i think thats one of the biggest things she has struggled with is just selfimage. I i dont know. I just i feel like i dont deserve this life that i have. I feel like its just, like, too good. Certainly theres much you can do to be able to alleviate that anxiety, those panic attacks. I talk from experience myself, but you have got to look at your lives and say to yourselves as a couple, what are we doing that support the Mental Health of our family . Wow. And postpartum is such a big issue for a lot of families because people are talking about it and thats what were doing here. Were talking about it, and that is the point. No shame, no guilt, but lets talk about real issues because there are real families that have these issues and we need to be able to talk about these Mental Health issues, to be able to get rid of that stigma, and to be able to help one another. More compassion, more empathy, more resources and certainly those that are having these mental and medical conditions to be able to reach out and get the help they need. We have a viewer who would like some help from you. Jenn from new york sent this in to us. Okay. Im a mom of two, and my 8yearold son is a great sleeper. I need some advice on how to keep my 6yearold daughter many her room the entire night and out of my bed. Thats a question a lot of parents have. Its a common one too. Certainly something we are going to see on the season of supernanny. Sleep deprivation is nobodys friend. Its about the repetition. Children need to feel safe, and feel theres a predictability, a ritual. I would say its important to have a bedtime ritual that you are consistent with. That means no interruptions of technology. That means being present. Right. That means when you come home, make sure you have time to connect with your children so that they really feel theyre getting some of your quality time even if its a small amount. Its consistent. Otherwise, they keep into your bed at 3 00 a. M. You dont want that. Jo frost always so much wisdom. Thank you. You can see new episodes of supernanny wednesdays at 10 00 p. M. Eastern on lifetime.

Do you feel sexier . I feel sexy, and maybe i feel sexier because im in my stuff. I know who i am. Reporter even posting this pic recently wearing her birthday suit at age 73. That picture went viral. You dont usually take that picture at 73, but i could. It looked good. I want women to know its not over, and when you think its over, i just want them to know there are more chapters. Reporter somers says she uses hormone replacement creams to balance and boost her sex drive with her husband. Also her approach to health and wellness, her new book, a series of interviews with doctors, tackling aging with a more natural approach. I was looking at one point, at the present paradigm of aging, dekrepd, frail, cancercar ad alzheimers, heart disease. I thought, theres got to be a better way. In my mind, start thinking about the choices today so that you dont end up in the catastrophic state. Reporter suzanne swears by getting at least eight hours of sleep each night, doing yoga three times a week, only eating unprocessed food and eliminating toxic chemicals around the house, things anyone can benefit from. I look in the mirror. I have wrinkles, but theyre not bad. Keep your insides young. I honestly love my age. I love it. I look forward to next year. Theres never a oh, god. Five more years and ill be 80. How cool. How cool. As long as i can still wear my high heels and my short skirts. Reporter for Good Morning America, Abbie Boudreau, abc news, palm springs.
