I could feel my vision just started to close in Savannah Guthrie it started to
get black on the accident that almost took her sight now I'm starting to lose
my vision all together that's your darkest moment were you fearful about
your career I was scared and how she's coping today haven't really talked about
it I'd like to see normally again I'm not there yet plus it's our system 20
success secrets reveal coming up next
that left America wondering and worrying what happened to Savannah Guthrie she
was missing from the desk of the today show after a horrifying accident that
nearly changed her life forever her eye was severely injured her vision was in
jeopardy and the worst was yet to come her world went dark today Savannah is
here opening up about her terrifying vision scare intense surgery and lengthy
recovery one morning just before Thanksgiving the beloved today show
host didn't show up for work I'm sure some folks are waking up and going where
is Savannah this morning turns out Savannah's three-year-old son hit her
square in the eye with a toy tray the impact tore her retina and she
temporarily lost vision in her right eye but she was able to see again and
started a series of laser treatments to repair her retina while still appearing
on air but then the moment doctors and Savannah hoped it would never come to
the retina started to detach and she was told she could lose her sight forever
please welcome my good friend Savannah Guthrie it is the longest walk in
television I'm told they serve a stress test for the guests if they can walk
this far then they're healthy enough to get into my eyes I don't have to be in
that great but how are you doing by the way very well thank you yes I've had
this whole ordeal with my eyes but I can see you I can see you y'all look good so
I'm happy to be on the mend so I love being with you today show in part
because you're as real behind the scenes as you are as folks see you we have fun
don't we do have fun but I put it when it happened everyone was stunned the
entire family so if you don't mind walk us back to exactly what happened to
cause this really potentially devastating injury it's so surprising it
was just an average afternoon one great thing about being at the today show is I
get home early and I spend time with my kids all afternoon and my little one
well at the time he was two and we were just playing and he's at that age where
he's just kind of testing physics so we threw that train at me I think I took
that picture that makes the train look really really huge but it's I guess it
was about six inches and it had a very pointy edge and it hit my eye and I mean
I felt it but it didn't hurt terribly and I really didn't think anything of it
other than Charlie you're gonna get time out you can't throw things and that was
the end of it and then about 24 hours later I was taking a walk and I saw some
bright flashes in my eye again I didn't a migraine or something and an hour
after that I had no vision in my right eye I mean it was blurry it wasn't black
but it was blurry and I when I went to the ophthalmologist he said he said
something something hit your eye and then I oh yeah well Charlie did train
but it wasn't this horrible horrible pain so I didn't I was surprised and at
first they didn't really know it was a detached retina and not to be gross but
this the dr. odd show but you um so you can talk about blood and stuff right so
behind the eye you couldn't see anything it looked totally normal but behind the
eye it had popped a blood vessel and so the doctors at first couldn't even see
what was going on it was just all shot up full of blood and that's why I
couldn't see what was your biggest fear at that moment um you know I honestly
didn't I was just kind of underreacting I thought well this will be alright
it'll clear up I just didn't expect it to be much of anything and it's really
only after time and having gone through and had I had a bunch of lasers and they
were trying to fix it without surgery over time I started to wonder well
what's going on here is this really gonna get better and the very last day
before I had the surgery was probably my kind of darkest moment I'd been living
with it three weeks doing the show not being able to see out of one eye and I
could feel that my vision just started to close in and it started to get black
and it was because you know you can't live with the retina detachment for
three weeks and not expect to start really losing your vision and I was
scared that was the first time I was really scared and I called the surgeon
and I said now I'm starting to lose my vision altogether and he said that's why
we're operating tomorrow that you're okay but we need to operate that would
panic me yeah I'm a doctor yes that was that made me nervous come on up here I
would show everyone exactly what was going on so this is an image obviously
of what most of us are familiar seeing the eye and they're little muscles by
the way we that's why you can roll your eyes at your parents etc but these
muscles aren't the issue and the eyelashes and eyelids on the issue the
issue is right in here and the light goes through this front of the lens it
has to be refracted on the back of the eye now this is the optic nerve and
here's the big issue when you know more about something you get a bit more
fearful sometimes yeah if the tear is near the optic nerve that's not fixable
sometimes that's really problematic thankfully so yours was over on the side
here and so which is why I think it became a bit more of a of a juggling
matchable what to do so you say they lasered it initially initially they
lasered it so I even put a picture on the on my Instagram that shows you the
retina and it was a massive tear and they tried to laser it to avoid the
surgery because actually if you don't mind put the picture up there's I
actually got it oh you do okay I'm gonna show the picture there but it's just a
little startling when you see it it is hope oh yeah so that's what I showed
everybody well okay so now I know about dr. Guthrie your retina supposed to be
all supposed to be all red with nothing this is the tear see how huge it is and
then this is like a flap of retina just swing it in the wind so that's what it
looks like and then that after my surgery isn't that a pretty retina I
love this you can see it you can see your lens here so yeah so they were
trying to avoid the surgery because I don't know if you want to talk about it
but you do the surgery which is incredible what they can do but then the
recovery is difficult and you have to spend time with your head in a
particular position in my case my head had to be down for about a week what
let's have a seat cuz I want to talk about the surgery because a lot of a
lot of what people struggle with when they're recovering from a problem is it
changes their life yeah in ways they didn't expect it in the midst of all
this right before you had the surgery while you're still struggling to try to
repair that little tear we're talking about and literally your vision is
slipping away it's barely holding on to the cliff of being able to see you're
hosting the Thanksgiving Day Parade you have a national television acting normal
and for most of us mere mortals like me I'm watching you and thinking well she's
obviously getting better what gave you the strength to keep pushing through
this you know I think I just tried to keep it all in perspective and not that
I didn't have my moments but I I thought it's not cancer and it's not a sick
child it's something like this that happened to my child I would be beside
myself but I I do really just try to keep it in perspective because I can see
I can do my job what a relief what if I couldn't and so I just try to be
grateful and I am grateful. God bless you. Up next we're gonna go inside the
surgery Savannah never expected and I'm gonna go it's okay go back over that
moment where the world went black, went dark for you. Stay with us.
As Harvey Weinstein's trial gets underway in New York, he's charged with new sex
crimes in LA. We sit down with a former Facts of Life actress as she reveals
shocking details about her ordeal. I thought he would further rape me. Plus
they were literally cut up surgically. A disgraced dentist turned body statue
illegally harvested human tissue for millions. I believe the bad tissue was in
my freezer. That's coming up tomorrow. We're back with today's show Savannah
Guthrie who's opening up about the terrifying accident that almost took her
vision. So you have these laser procedures you're hoping things will
work out and at some point and this happens in most patients lives what they
hope doesn't work out. Yeah. Because hope is not a strategy. You want it to be
true but you got the grim news. News you feared. What did the doc say? Yes and I
have been trying so hard to not like Google my own eye problem you know never
go to Dr. Google right Dr. Oz but I so I really tried not to but I had heard
because it was had become public some horror stories about surgery and the
recovery from the surgery so when I found out I did need to have the surgery
I was I was sad I just really was I was just nervous and anxious about what it
would be like especially the recovery so I my doctor was wonderful he did the
surgery and he really put me at ease he said it's hard but you can do it and
it's not gonna be as bad as you think it is and it's really interesting what you
have to do because you do have to position and put your face in a certain
way to make sure the surgery holds if you don't do that there I am with my
head down hugging my little Charlie see I'm not mad at him we're just hanging
out there but what you do after the surgery is as important as the surgery
let me show everyone what the surgery is because it'll make it clear why you have
to be in that crazy position and there's brought an eyeball I brought you an
eyeball so there's the eyeball which is a pretty accurate reflection actually
and I'm gonna flip this open and demonstrate what the inside of the eye
looks like but uh now the the eye is as you point out this beautiful red
covering which is a very thin layer of cellophane on top of all these blood
vessels because they're taking all the lights that come in from outside of you
and in the back of the eye this retina is fragile so when Charlie threw that
toy he punctured here and made a little tear and that tear began to be pulled
away now the retina begins to detach so the blood's going through that small
tear and pulling away further and further when you went blind the night
before the procedure this is probably pulling over enough that you're actually
blocking off the ability of light to get where it needs to be so what would allow
you to push something into the eye keep this flat but go away on its own air so
doctors put a big air bubble it sounds crazy doesn't it we literally blow up
your eye like it's a balloon and we plastered this air bubble in there and
then we close the eye back up again so the air bubbles basically hold it like
if you had a poster against the wall and you're like just stick just stick that's
what the bubbles doing but the bubble is going to go where the gravity takes it
so you've got to lean forward so that the bubble goes up the back of the
retina right keeps pressure on the eye but let's go back over with some of the
issues that you're having so even though it looks normal to us which gives us
confidence that that it'll get better you'd actually lost vision in your right
eye yeah so that retinal tear was dangerous enough that it could have
compromised your eye oh definitely and I again I was very very lucky because
it's you as you pointed out where the retina tear happened it was very very
big but it wasn't near the center of my vision which I guess is called the
macula oh my good do I get an A on ophthalmology oh I like this okay
Dr. Guthrie strikes again so I was really lucky about that about the
location of it it was big but not in the scariest location it could have been but
your your eyesight will change so my depth perceptions off and when I read
it's almost like I'm reading from a rippled paper and yes and I'm hopeful
that that will eventually go away but I think I have a little work to do in that
regard where the doctors do at your darkest moment were you fearful about
your career that you wouldn't be able to read as you point out that basic
documents you're one of the most educated people I know in media you're
you know she gets up there and wonderfully articulates the news but you
do it because you actually understand it now you're a lawyer it's true so if you
can't read through something that's you know an affidavit that about a person
you're about the interview that could impact you yeah you know I did again I
really really just I tried really hard to not go there and do the parade of
horribles and things that could happen that would be devastating but you know
I you just have to take a deep breath and be grateful for what you have I that
for me is the bottom line and I'm so happy that I was able to do it if my
eyesight doesn't get any better than this I'm so lucky I can see out of both
eyes I mean I know I'm really lucky and I have my kids you know I I had my kids
in my 40s I'm I'm so lucky I'll never be over it I'll never get over it so if one
of them threw a little train in my eye well so be it it was worth it so but the
best part of the whole story my favorite post wasn't even the macular
degenerate of the immaculate with disruption or the detachment it was this
out-of-office message that the kids left when mom was coming put this up if you
don't mind nobody come into my mommy's room yes that was my little daughter she
that was the day of my surgery she put that on my door and of course you know
that sign applies to everyone except for my daughter and son nobody but us can
come into mommy's room but they kept me company and I had a good time and it's
actually it was like forced vacation and reflection my family was wonderful
people at home were so kind about it I'm kind of sheepish and embarrassed about
it like I don't want to make a big thing of it it was you know a quirky
accident that happened it's gone on longer than I would have hoped I would
like to just bounce back some things but honestly I just feel really grateful
all right coming up Savannah opens up about another health journey she's been
on the intermittent fasting craze that everyone's been trying find out her
fasting secrets snaps they show Savannah Guthrie she's opening up about the
health craze that everyone has been buzzing about intermittent fasting so
I've been working a lot of intermittent fasting we started talking about it I
actually ran into at a vacation spot about six months ago and you confided
your intermittent fasting which opened my eyes up and I started thinking no
wonder she looks like a gazelle so you've been doing it Carson's been doing
it what made you want to try it well first of all you keep telling us that we
need to do intermittent fasting it's so good for our health and I remember so
this is so funny every time I see dr. Oz I'm like but can I do this and I am
trying to get away with it I stopped putting cream in my coffee and I
actually think the intermittent fasting is really I don't know if it's you know
you it's not really about losing weight you just kind of feel better and so I
haven't been eating that great for my seven or eight hours that I do eat like
I still have cookies and cheese and not approve of but I have been doing the
we made it the foundation of our system 20 as you know which is the most popular
plan we've ever put out for New Year's in part because of that clear yellow
warning line do this don't do that but most of us mere mortals get up at a
reasonable hour dawn and so we don't you know we don't eat our morning we cancel
breakfast right no more breakfast have brunch instead you need about 11 but you
get up at what time mostly for sometimes three but usually four so you for you
going that long is not really feasible so how do you choreograph your day well
so I used to always eat something before the show I felt like I needed to have
something in my stomach then I stopped doing that and started just drinking
coffee with cream but I would eat right after the show at nine o'clock I was
like I'm starving I have to eat now I don't I stopped eating around six I eat
with my kids and then I try not to eat until 11 or 12 I could go 16 17 hours I
haven't eaten since six o'clock yesterday I feel pretty good right now I
Savannah walked in there she eyed my arm longingly is it as easy for Carson do
you think he likes it because he knows like at eight o'clock the window is
closed and I think for some personalities like this minus like this
it's good just have a bright line rule but you know when this I actually really
started doing it in earnest and got serious about it was when I was having
the eye problem because I wasn't allowed to exercise and it was the holidays and
so wonderful but then I'm in my chair like so it was kind of a way to stay on
top of everything and try to not not go overboard and the fasting really helped
me do that so I think if you're a really good and dr. Oz's best patient then you
would eat more healthfully during your seven or eight hours that you eat and
I'm on I'm working on that but even just doing the fast itself I think makes you
feel good and a little more alert and you don't miss it you can definitely get
used to it I don't actually worry about what you're eating in those seven or
eight hours that you're eating it's your cheat days that I'm concerned yeah but
what are the cheat days like I'm I don't think I cheat I do the fast all the time
so you don't think one day off a week I don't know pizza ice cream well yeah I
do during my window through come on over my window is eating I have pizza and
ice talking about of course I do actually you can get away with pizza and
ice cream but you have to do it early in your window okay so I brought you a
little pizza I think which it's actually warm by the way you'll do it yes I'm
bringing this home but the real treat is this that you can actually have a little
alcohol and the best part about the program I think is that you don't get
lonely which is the single biggest reason people follow plans right you
become a social because you can't party with your colleagues yeah we can party
and I've seen it happen I know yes you have are you comfortable no questions
about fasting you feel good today I do I feel good I mean I think I told you I
already did my confession to dr. Oz I think I need to eat a little better in
the in the window in which I eat but other than that so I want to take your
cheats eat them early yeah last thing you eat should not be a cheat well I
yeah but I like dessert right have you dessert in the middle of lunch but
meanwhile I got a little gift for you Oh what because I think when after Charlie
hears about this enough from his sister he'll figure it out these are protective
eyewear for you and for Charlie I like it and you gave are these Charlie's
those are Charlie's here's the trucks and trains you'll love it just in case

fantastic system 20 years come on out let's celebrate you join us here oh my
goodness I give you I'm so proud of you I really am I see it in your eyes not
just your bodies your eyes the energy is different I'll show contributor Marsha
Gavacampo has also been on system 20 for about a month she's been the team leader
what kind of success of you and all these wonderful women experience oh my
god dr. Oz this program has been amazing the average loss for the system 20 years
is 14 pounds I lost five pounds in three weeks which for me is big it's
hard for me to lose any weight at all and you know what you've really done is
you've created a program that is so simple it's not always easy but it's
simple you've taken all the guesswork out of it and the key is really the
intermittent fasting you just set your clock you know what time you're supposed
to eat you know what time you're not supposed to eat so I want to induce you
all to another system 20 or Amanda and she's a good walking example what I've
been learning Amanda started system 20 because she gained 30 pounds while
battling thyroid cancer she's also found that high insulin levels which is you
know goes along with diabetes down the road for her it's not just about losing
weight is it it's about getting her numbers and check so she can enjoy a
long life so this is what Amanda looked like before she started the program now
she only started a month ago but she's already lost 13 pounds and it's
important her insulin levels have come down significantly so come on out
thank you I guess you look wonderful thank others look wonderful before too
so that's the part about your story that's so motivating to me is your
insulin levels drop yeah there's a doctor it just sends me to them over the
moon all right come on over so Amanda's system 20 secret has to do
with creative ways to eat her beans because on system 20 you get two meals a
day basically that have greens and beans and you need to be able to in protein
of course but you need to pull them together but you start to get sick of
beans yes day-to-day at which I don't blame you right how'd you hack it I was
able to make a salad dressing on the Facebook group that we have for system
20 someone inspired me that made a black bean dressing so I took the black beans
about a half cup of black beans I put them in I put the apple cider vinegar
which is so important for one of our components helps metabolize sugar better
so apple cider vinegar what's this that is that is oil there's water and there's
oil yeah put it together so spice it up yeah and you spice it up and I really
like it because it's a lot of beans so I do like that it's delicious did you
feel hungry while you're going through all this I did not and that's the
amazing thing about the system you're not hungry
Mara they're they're all there lots of ideas you have as well for hacking be
yeah in addition to the dressing you can actually make a smoothie out of beans
and this does not taste like beans but it gives you that nice creaminess that
you want from your smoothie and you can even use them in dessert you've got to
taste this to believe it these are so delicious they are black and you want
brownies and again it's the texture of the beans that saves the day they are
gooey and delicious and you're getting your beans in you don't find this in
medical textbooks I do with people struggling to figure something out to
get through life yeah if you want another delicious way to incorporate
beans look at this recipe for our system 20 sheet pan squash with chickpeas so
good I know what I want for dinner tonight right angel is here she lost 16
pounds after just six weeks on system 20 she dropped her blood pressure number
one cause of aging dropped it take a look at angel from before there she is
here she is today come on out angel
I mean first of all you look fantastic thank you but it's how you describe that
feel I feel like I'm not tired anymore I have a lot of energy I can walk up
steps and just not wake up and be tired be the best you live my best life come
on over here angel system 20 success secret she makes a morning coffee that
tastes like dessert now when I heard this I thought well she probably makes
it taste like dessert by adding a lot of sugar or honey and figure something out
but you actually did it with zero sugar at it because you did something very
clever wasn't what was in it is what you did with it Joey so one of the
components of system 20 is that we have our morning coffee and so with the
morning coffee what we do is we add a little NCT oil so what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna pour a little coffee here just a little bit and then what we do
is we add NCT oil supposed to keep us full and give us a little energy boost
that we need to kind of carry us over throughout fasting period and a little
nutmeg I'm adding a little cinnamon it's almost like pastry in a bowl and then
along with the NC but none of that's gonna make it taste creamy but this
swell this right here this is the secret this is the big secret right here
is the blender so we're gonna turn it on and as you can see when you blend in
your coffee it makes it nice and frothy almost like one of those fancy coffees
you get at one of those coffee places you don't need to put it that long you
blend it here and see how it changes the color and made it nice and light and
frothy about pour it up it won't you see it's actually almost steams a little
still nice and hot right my way to get the taste this is genius because if you
don't blend it it's a little greasy and this fixes that completely yes you no
longer get that little greasy food on the top
yes now you were hypertensive before is that right yes blood pressure was high
enough that you could have been put on medications now your blood pressure is
very low with all the anxiety coming on the show it was still low which for me
is a high five because I don't care about the weight I care about what on
inside yes if you want to start system 20 it is free you can find all the
resources to start on dr. Oz comm slash system 20 including the checklist the
grocery list and the way she guys use it sure will be what you love this stuff is

pressure and best of all you're sleeping you're feeling good again we design
system 20 to be a plan you can live with so we give you a cheat day yes everyone

need to worry because we give you something else Mara it is fast food fast
food fast food we've made it work that's right we're revealing the system 20
secrets to dining out you're not cheating it's part of the plan
Carolyn has been on system 20 for five weeks she hates to cook but she still
found success with system 20 she lost 20 pounds and she shrunk her waist size so
here's what she looked like before she started system 20 and here she is today
come on out Carolyn incredible but I want to I want to speak about your
blood pressure so before this all started we try to collect numbers
everybody your blood pressure was 136 over 90 which is basically hypertension
right especially for a young woman right now you remember you want to be under
120 over 80 that's the range now your blood pressure after six weeks I'm
correct it's 110 over 75 which is perfect
medications right now just with food which is the right way to do it so you
were nervous about starting system 20 at first why I don't cook I go out to eat
all the time so we charged Carolyn with a little system 20 experiment to find a
way to fit system 20 into her real way of eating and she came back to us with
some real fast food meals that work within the system 20 plan so come on
over I'm a little worried don't worry Carolyn I'm gonna trust you here walk
us through your system 20 approved Mexican takeout food okay so well
doctor eyes you don't deal with this none of the rice none of the rice that's
carbs okay they're out they're going they're going so what I do is I grab
okay so we'll do you serve you do the green and then we'll do some beans we'll
add the beans so beans and greens are here green protein works yep and guess
what it's in cheeses in it's filling it's filling so delicious and perfect
and the thing is you don't want to stop living it has to be a lifestyle that you
can do forever and we love to eat out so this is really really good to have a
system like this all right so I sort of predicted this hack what I didn't
predict was this next one come on over system 20 approved burger joint that
tastes so good with a wonderful advertisement how delicious and
delicious it is but you hacked that also I absolutely did so you know when a
fast-food restaurant you always do the cheeseburger with no bun thing right but
we don't have to do that we can do chili chili chili because it has your beans it
has your protein it's the perfect meal and it tastes well and add it yeah no
that's sour cream oh yeah sour cream and some extra salsa and it's yummy

on empty nothing left but chances are the answer is yes and it's time to start
taking care of you help you reset and bring your health full circle I've asked
Emmy award-winning TV host sports broadcaster and mom Jen Brown to join me
she's here on behalf of my trustless partnership partner you saw the health
sciences you're working mom you do all the things keep it all balanced but you
actually argue that doing that might have a detrimental effect on your
family that's true I mean what you said over there made me just say I'm like
yes I need all these things because it's a mom right and a woman you feel like
you you know carry the weight of the world on your shoulders a little bit and
you want to keep it all together for your family and you want to you know do
what's right but there's a lot of things I think about during the week days
months all of that so like let's I've got a demo here because this is gonna
prove my point right so you want to have right your fridge stocked with good food
healthy stuff so you know one thing you have to think about there all right well
let's talk about you know this is fun I kind of like how about here you want to
make sure that your kids your family's doctors appointments are all set and you
want to make sure right that you've got everybody's nutritional support your
kids your husband your significant other lots to think about right exactly then of
course you want to give it your all work right you're a mom and a working mom so
you want to give it your all let's keep going here you want to make sure that
the bills are paid you know there's just so many things that you have to
think about here's what you knew that was gonna happen and guess what you've
done all of these things before you've even you know taking care of your own
health and well-being you know you mentioned vitamins here right that one
yeah and it's interesting that less than 1% of us eat so well that we get all the
nutrients that we need in our bodies every day it's just emblematic to me of
the bigger problems we face that's why I think multivitamins and supplementation
general is critical come on over what keeps your body running at full speed
how do you balance your entire life for you personally sure to make sure you
don't have that jungle collapse you just saw well you can't take care of your
loved ones in your family if you're not taking care of yourself right and like
you said you need that daily support you need your nutrients and it's tough to
get it you know in one place so when I get asked all the time how I hold it all
together I try right you try to hold all together I talked about how I used you
saw no cell essentials it's a great way to get your daily dose of the nutrients
that you need everything from you know bone health to heart health your vision
mental health plus antioxidants it's really got everything you need how do
you spread the wisdom that you have for taking care of your own body to a cell
essentials into the shoulder well look you know it's so tough right we as moms
would beat ourselves up because we want to teach our kids how to eat healthy and
you try but you know it's interesting because research shows that actually
kids aren't getting the the right nutrients that they need for
development and so that's something you have to think about because you want to
support them you want them to be healthy so for us we also use us animals
which is a great it's a daily vitamin it's chewable for ages 2 to 12 my kids
love it and it's great because I have picky eaters I don't know you've got
grandkids like I have I've picky eaters and it's just nice to know that they've
got everything from their calcium their vitamin D the iron a and B vitamins like
everything you know everything we need as a family you saw nose got it they
really like the vitamins they do well you I mean I feel like you can ask them

central I know we all fear the f-word failure but there's new science that
says we sometimes need to fail all of us do self-proclaimed perfectionist Sharon
here says that she doesn't like to fail like many of you don't but you see
already making a face because I just don't like whatever I do I just like
don't it has to be just right so what's the reason failure that's bothering you
right now I made these um brown turkey muffins the other day and I wanted them
all to be even like inside the tin but some of them kind of mushroomed out and
look like a mushroom so I wasn't happy with that so look I make mistakes too my
mistakes unfortunately have consequences come in the hospital but actually
recently I I gave my my granddaughter philo a movie to watch that thought was
just fine it wasn't nightmares complaints from my daughter you know so
you know you but you learn you actually here's the data you're supposed to be
wrong 15% of the time so 85 should aim for it's a solid B and when you make
mistakes you learn you struggle to get better at it for example juggling I'm
sure you're very good at juggling have you ever juggled maybe a schedule here
take those I'll try to we're both gonna see if we can come back over here we're
gonna both see if we can juggle you're gonna cheer us on face out that way I
won't be able to see you okay now yeah they're gonna film it and show it to all
of America don't worry about that all right you ready to do it let's go oh my
goodness whoa you know what it doesn't matter how I did it it matters that you
tried to do it and when you fail you'll learn we get stronger just make sure the
mistakes are ones you can manage and get people to support you through them but
I'm proud of you no matter what you do in life because we're all made
beautifully even with our failures god bless Sharon remember the power of one
lies the power of you one person one voice speaking the truth goodbye
everybody
