We all have a dark side but his is well documented. I dont know, i think its creepy. Maybe theyre looking for another type of buyer.

Were back with our series this is 50, celebrating the last of the boomers turning 50 this year. Like our hoda woman, we know, two days. Its part of our collaboration. Weve shared stories of incredible women who have reinvented themselves after the age of 50. Williams is one of those inspiring women. Despite Health Challenges she was able to find her passion and true calling. Heres her story. For 25 years, i worked as a sales rep and moved my way up quickly, eventually to vice president. But then the economy changed drastically. During that time, i had to lay off hundreds of people over a period of five years. And somewhere in the back of my mind i knew it could happen to me. And at age 55, it did. I was disappointed and uncertain about my future. And then as in on cue my house took a tu health took a turn the worst. I started aching, eventually found out i was suffering from a chronic lung condition, severe emzeemp, and after a bout of lymes disease, debilitating arthritis. I felt like my life was spinning out of control until my daughter, a may thank you therapist yoga teacher, kept epcouraging me, try yoga. I thought it was hocus pocus. I just kept saying, oh, sure, ill try it someday. While on a beach trip with a friend later that year i tried a class. The instructor was middle aged, round in the middle, and had gray hair. Hallelujah. If she could do it, so could i. I loved it and decided to take a 200hour yoga teacher training. I started teaching classes and doing private lessons and now ive found my calling. Even while tethered to an oxygen tank. I still teach yoga three times a week at the age of 66. I wont be doing a handstand any time soon, but i believe you can always reinvent yourself, no matter your age. My mantra is, i am happy, i am healthy, i am at ease. Beautiful. I love her. Wow, wow. Here to guide you in finding your passion is motivational speaker and life coach lisa nichols. Hello. Hi, lisa. You came to play. Yes, you did. This is so great that she found yoga. I think but she kind of stumbled into her passion. Absolutely. I think probably people watching who maybe cant even identify what their passion is. But they know somethings missing. Right. Sometimes you are forced to find it because all the other doors are closed. And the reality is every single one of us as a passion in us. You have to become nonnegotiable to find it. Then agree that it may not be that thing you do for fee or for livelihood. It may be the thing you do that just makes you feel good. Tell us your personal story. You had a dream. I wanted to inspire people, i wanted to travel the world, run my mouth, and autograph stuff. At the time i was working for l. A. Unified School District with a 3yearold son. I started writing myself a check every two weeks. In the memo funding my dream. Even before i knew what the dream was. But i knew it was going to cost me something and i was willing to pay that price. One, be willing to pay. Today my life is barely recognizable. You know, and we get to reinvent ourselves. We get to say, great, i did that. I raised the kids. Now i want to find out, what do i love . What really touched me about your story was your low, low, low point with your baby. Tell us about that for a moment. My son was 8 months old. I went to get pampers for him and i didnt have pampers. I went to the atm. I had 11. 42 in the bank. I hit flat bottom. I wrapped my son in a towel for two days. On the second day i said, dont worry, mommy will never be this broke again. And i was willing to put away all my excuses. I was willing to put away my fears. I was willing to know what i dont know, to go find it. I was willing to have my knees knocking and my teeth chattering. Risk it. Right. And i was willing to forfeit all need to look good. To learn something, to reinvent lisa. I look up now and my life is barely recognizable. Im that kid that got a c in school. Im not an ap or advanced student. I got kicked out of college my first year, i couldnt afford to go. Im not the person supposed to be running a multimilliondollar business. Because my passion said, i want to be something more than ive ever seen. Every woman, every man, has the exact same ability. Why . Because the human spirit is unbreakable. Amen, unbreakable. Preach it, go on. I love you. Absolutely. You know, accepting that when you do it, it feels good. Normally our head talks us out of it. It may not make sense. How we look doing it. Cab i make a living at it. We care what other people think too much. My grandmother said, other peoples perception of you aint none of your business. What if you were just committed to what felt good . Dont try to make it your liveliho livelihood, just take one step toward it. She said, yoga felt good, i took another step toward it. Is it dancing, singing, kayaking, swimming. Take a step. Listen to that inner voice. Take a baby step. Whats your son doing now . Is he well . My son wants to be a chef. So when he was in his senior year he says, can i cook around the world . This is the baby who i couldnt put pampers on. I had to get on government assistance to feed him. I sent my son on a 78day International Culinary tour. Now hes at cordon blue. I love you. We love you. Youre coming back. I love you so much. Youre adorable. Thank you so much.

Summer is flying by and already the stores are stocking up on School Supplies. Yes, fall clothing. Before you buy anything, you can get a better deal if you wait. Here to tell us what to buy when is maggie murphy, editor in chief of parade magazine. Looky looky. We have in our hot little hands parade. There we are, on the cover, thank you. And were inside too. Were everywhere, we cant stop it. Were going to talk about School Bargains and how to save money. First off, backpacks. So obviously every kid needs a backpack. You want the hot one, dont you. Youre going to have to buy that early. Backup ones go on sale late august, good time to buy. Thats are great. Kids like the specialty ones. Electronics. Always big competition. Everybody needs one. Look for discounts, look for rebates. At what time . Any time. August. This is all august. Cleaning supplies. Never go on sale. However, you need them for school. Its like a big Shopping List for parents and teachers. So what you want to do is go to your Dollar General type stores and buy in bulk and just have paper towels and stuff. Thats august stuff. Okay, september. Wine goes on sale in september . Harvest season. Thought my stuff. Okay, so wine first and foremost, its a good time to stock up. Thats not a problem for you, ladies. We always stock up. How do you know, maggie . You brought it to the photo shoot. Everybody was like, we have to have wine. School supplies like calculators, pens. Those sorts of things. Notebooks are usually relatively cheap. But this kind of stuff adds up. Is it too late . School started and you need it before. The point is not to buy everything on that list right away. Because you need to get started and wait to buy bulk. Exactly, exactly. Smart. Okay, go to your local gardener and let those boxes and things. Still planting season before the first frost. Maybe do that before you go and open this. You know what . Im sensing some judgment here. We love it, we love it. Camping . Okay, were going to move down here. Denim. Kids always want the newest. If youve got three kids youve got to buy all of that. Buy what you need in august. Look in september. But in october, this is when stuff really, really goes on sale. Buy jeans in october. Camping. So thats the last thing youre thinking. The seasons over. If it hasnt sold in spring its on sale in the fall. If youre going to use by used stuff thats when its on sale. Go to ebay. Outdoor. So look at these sneakers. Arent they so much fun and colorful . This is november. So youre in november. Youre not thinking youre thinking winter boots but this is the time to stock up on those colors. Because new ones come out so they want to get rid of inventory. Lastly, people always think november and they think black friday. But before black friday, youve got to get rid of the old stuff. So if you dont mind having last years model. Who cares . If youre going to make huge savings weve got to go. Speakers . Adorable. Get your gift for hoda. Thank you so much, maggie. Look for parade this sunday, well be right back with more. First, this is today on nbc. What she said. Tomorrow, finally, thank you lord, its hodas big 50th birthday celebration. Weve got lots of fun planned and maybe a few surprises.
