Summary of Hoda Kotb's I Really Needed This Today

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I met Kathie Lee Gifford in 2007, and she helped me change my life. She joined the fourth hour of Today, and what followed was an 11-year professional and personal relationship I treasure. #2 Scars are a sign of healing, and they are the thing that cuts through the BS about what matters in life and who we want to share it with. Don’t you think it’s our scars that connect us. #3 On the twentieth anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, I interviewed both survivors and people who had lost family members. #4 I had to take a test that would determine if I would continue my education. I couldn’t have cared less. My friend Peggy Fox, who was also taking the test, followed me out. When we sat down at a picnic table by the duck pond, Peggy didn’t say a word. Her mere presence was enough to comfort a small piece of my broken heart.
