Led the broncos to a victory. I tried to tweet him. He doesnt have a twitter handle. Handle. He doesnt have a tweeter. So i, i did it to the broncos and basically said im so proud of you for manning up, and admitting. That whole family is fantastic. They are a great family. Yesterday we were doing favorite things, and my favorite thing was leah still. Usually i like to call her and tell her if were going to talk about her. But her dad texted me this video. She was diagnosed with cancer. Daddy, look yes, yes, yes, yes. She said, hoda, its almost time i love you, hoda how sweet. Isnt that so cute . Youve been such a champion of hers. Her last treatment is on january 8th. And she said no more cancer. So its back to school for some kids. And whos excited about it . And School Starts so dad gone early. We need to start looking at that. Kids need much more sleep than theyre getting. More sleep, less homework, how about that im sure the kids are cheering. Heres the caption, our daughter is not okay with going back to school. [ laughter ] like a pancake. A lot of people felt that way. We had a nice time off down in the keys. Once youre just hanging out down there, its called keys disease. You want it stay in. Yes, you just make up your day as i go along. Theres nothing you gotta do. You dont have to go to bed at a certain time. That is awesome. Its a big day. Yesterday the bachelor premiered. And that means amanda is here. She fills us in on whats happening. So what is the story . This is stevens wedding. You have a man. One, im sure. You might remember caitlyns season last year . Hes back to find love. We think he looks like a cross between peter brady and seth mcfarland, dont you think . Look at that which ones the bachelor. If you shuffled those around its hard. So the show kicks off with interviews with the girls, and believe. So her name is tiara. Shes a chicken enthusiast. Lets take a look at her interview. My chickens are like my babies. Since i dont have human bob y abies. I have one special chicken named sheila. She stays in my room with me. Does everything with me. Its going to be extremely hard for me to leave my chickens. I havent been away from them for more than ten days ever. I have to think hard, what comes first, the chickens or the ben . Whats the average lifespan for a chicken . I dont know. But it got wackier from there. The girls all get out of the limo and are trying to oneup each other on how to get bens attention. This girl shows up with a giant rose on her head. English, she did a football is that a lady like position . I just dont know. Were going over the oh, no. She hikes the ball. Oh, no. And this girl showed up with a cowgirl from texas. I think the girl should have been able to bring her chickens. And the firstever twins. Thats weird. Hailey and emily. But the girl who was really the star of the show was this girl lace. Theyre positioning her kind of as the villain. Shes very catty and jealous already, so at the end of the show she got a rose from ben. Then ben, she takes ben aside and says im so mad at you. Youre not giving me enough eye contact during the rose ceremony. Take at that look at the confrontation. I gave you a rose, and i just got done telling somebody else i wanted them to go home. Would you rather them stay . I wanted to be clear, the issue was because i didnt make eye contact . I didnt look at me once. You would not look at me. I watched you. I think emily is the center of the drama. Lace is the one im keeping my eyes on. 50 shades of crazy. Im feeling the drama is just getting started. This is the girl. And if shows already having jealousy issues on episode one, its going to be a rough road on that one. Dont you love how much amanda loves this . I cant believe it. Amandas mother is here. She loves it too . Oh. Theres your mom. See, all that schooling paid off. Thanks, sweetie. How long does the bachelor last . Oh, its like three months, i think. Oh, boy. Thank you.

I didnt think it was easy. Not to me. Of what. Youre the one with the book. Allegedly. Congratulations are in order for our hoda woman. Her new book is out today called where we belong, journeys that show us the way. And it features celebrities and every day people who listened to the voice inside their head and made a change. We featured seven unique stories that are true the one of them is about a couple, a great, great story, who had it all, very comfortable life, retired. They could ski and do everything they wanted. And they were young, and they decided to make a sharp turn, so take a look. Scottsdale, arizona, a picturesque home on a sprawling property, but the true beauty is with the family who lives i love may parents because how supportive and joyful they are. And how helpful they can be to me and their loving soul and heart. The love 10 year old quinn and his parents have for their son is not lost on him. I have a loving family. A brother, a sister. A mom, a dad. Quinn is where he belongs. But it wasnt always this way. Quinn, his brother amalek and his sister were born in haiti. There is no electricity. And theres a lot of children that need to find homes. Just ten years ago they were those children. All three orphaned. They found themselves without a place to call home. Until a chance trip to haiti when, at the age of 51, craig husband wife were ready to become firsttime paurnts rents, this, after a lifetime convinced parent hood wasnt for him. They ventured to haiti as a family of two and returned as a family of five. I was wholeheartedly committed to not have children be part of may life. I wanted to be a successful businessman. I wanted to build a company with a winning track record, and i didnt want to have the distraction of other friend r things in my life. But after reaching his career goals and living a carefree life of golf and skiing, they were searching for more purpose. I remember walking into my very first orphanage, and that entire experience, which was, you know, really profound. When i was in the midst of that orphanage and even walking away from that orphanage, there was do something. Now at the time, i wasnt exactly sure what the something was. But the obvious do something was to adopt one or two or in our case three of these children. And that was the beginning. Years. The something turnedna something much different and bigger. Now, 15, 14 and 10, the children are living a life full of opportunity. Espy is an aspiring designer. I enjoy designing like clothes. My favorite thing to do. Amalek a star athlete, and quinn, a pintsized pianist. It wasnt long before they realized they wanted for others what they have created for their own. In 2010, they started two foundations, both ends burning and chances for children, orphaned children join loving families. Together they are building a global group to reexamine and reshape child welfare. For craig, kathy and their three kids, this is where they belong. We are exactly where we belong. Everything in my path, in craigs past, and even our childrens past was shaped for where we are right thousand. Im thankful for a roof over my head, loving and giving family, a brother and sister, mom and dad, and all the support i get. Both my parents, you know, like, they go out of their way to like help other people and like they dont have to do that. And even like my older brother and my younger brother do the same thing, so they rub off on us almost. Love is formed by the nurturing experience. And so i think that our family is just like any other family. We have our good days. We have our bad days. The foundation of it is still this fabulous entity called the family. And were all better off because were in a family. I think all five of us do understand, this is where we belong, and we dont question. Thats so great. Is that amazing . When i read that story, i was in tears at the end. They are some of the people we feature in the book. Some people are looking for where they belong professionally or spiritually or yes motionly or physically, and jane, that family was something. Talk about change, craig was so sure he didnt want children, 30. I remember reading that. So each, i think whatever youre thinking about in your life, if youre looking for some kind of change, theres somebody in here that represents maybe the path you nad to eed to be on, but there are Great Stories in here. Who would you say this book is for . Career, someone in their 50s or 60s, a College Graduate trying to figure out where they want to be in their life, for anybody.
