Tackle Adversity, Hoda style



Four years after mastectomy and divorce, TV's Hoda Kotb, 47 says life is "great again"


Copied in part from the USA Weekend Magazine, Sept. 23-25, 2011.


1. Surround yourself only with people who fill you up. Get rid of the toxic ones.

2. Don't sweat the little stuff--90% of what you worry about won't happen.

3. If you're still standing after surviving an illness or death of a loved one or whatever your cross to bear is, you get the four words: You Can't Scare Me. Use them!

4. Don't hog your journey; share it to help others.

5. Allow yourself dark days to stay under the covers watching Law & Order reruns and eating junk food.

What good advice. I didn't know she had such problems -- seems she has overcome them with grace. Thanks, Judy.

Love this post! This is also how to bring balance to our lives ~ never giving up despite constant challenges. Even giving daily gratitude on those dark days serve us in other ways ~ building & testing our character for change, adversity, growth, appreciating our blessings. We can expect the best, prepare for the worst and enjoy each moment in between. What we think about, we bring about.
