Wide World of Women

In a nice interview with Robin Roberts, Ginger Zee talks about in her new memoir:

"I have been fortunate...with the choices I have made...that my career is (pointing) on the way up."

"I never thought this would happen."

In a revealing interview for People, Ginger explained that in 2002--she did things that most people would find very unnerving--battling narcolepsy:

Ginger is attempting to open up a national dialogue about mental depression issues and talking about it--being more active instead of being isolated and alone.

She was recently on with ABC News colleagues Rebecca Jarvis and Dan Harris in separate podcasts--of which you can find on iTunes, Spotify, TuneIn, and other streaming media players.

Sometimes, it is the choices we make in life that will either define us or redefine us. It is the consequences of those choices that Ginger spoke about in her book:

Catch Ginger on wherever you get your podcasts. Very valuable life lessons she explains and making sure that nobody in the future goes down any similar paths that nearly took Ginger's life. And the best part about all this, she gets to live to tell about it:



Telling Rebecca Jarvis on her "No Limits" podcast:
"You can have a disease, a mental health challenge... and you can still succeed. I did. I was going through some of the worst at my most successful times."

Thanks. Ginger has certainly been through a lot.

Kudos to her for her battles.

Here is how Amazon.com characterized her book, which btw is a #1 Best Seller in Traveler & Explorer Biographies:

ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee pulls back the curtain on her life in Natural Disaster. Ginger grew up in small-town Michigan where she developed an obsession with weather as a young girl. Ginger opens up about her lifelong battle with crippling depression, her romances that range from misguided to dangerous, and her tumultuous professional path. This cyclone of stories may sound familiar to some-it's just that Ginger's personal tempests happened while she was covering some of the most devastating storms in recent history, including a ferocious tornado that killed a legend in the meteorology field.
This book is for all the mistake makers who have learned to forgive others and themselves-even in the aftermath of man-made, or in this case Zee-made, disasters. It's a story that every young woman should read, a story about finding love and finding it in yourself.
Beloved by Good Morning America's audience, Ginger is a daily presence for millions. Zee's gained fame for her social media presence which is as unfiltered as Natural Disaster-from baby barf to doggy doo-doo. She's shattered the glass ceiling for women in meteorology, but admits here first, she's the one natural disaster she couldn't have forecast.

Thanks.

Was hoping someone got caps from yesterday, thanks.

Look up above, and you will find them.

Thursday featured a lot of cool caps at the beginning, but not much in the end:

Yeah I know, thats why I said I hoped someone got them.

Thanks again

Catching up during Ginger Zee's book tour, as posted by fans on Twitter:

First, Brad Edwards took this awesome pic on Friday prior to her book signing in Chicago. Yes, imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery :



From Laura Deane Devitt, after Ginger's speech/Q&A session at a private even in Chicago on Friday night:



Finally, from aspiring meteorologist in waiting Candace Monacelli--taken at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in her hometown area of Grand Rapids, Michigan on Saturday afternoon:

No caps today, since Ginger was trying to recover a bit from a cold she suffered after attending four book signings in her honor--including in New York on Wednesday night and Clifton, New Jersey on Thursday night.

Instead, I hope fans can head on over to YouTube and see her interview from Friday morning's The View:

Catching up briefly on why Ginger was off all of last week...

She did a Facebook Live/Twitter video answering fan's questions this past Thursday, and the day before that WOOD TV of Grand Rapids released a few clips from her last book signing and she took some time to remember her time as a meteorologist and reporter there:

Segment titled, "I want people to remember my flaws":
