In the elevator after the @Avalanche game last night. Older gentleman asked everyone “do you know where we can find @ConorMcGahey ? He’s my wife’s favorite!” Same! 🥰 Can we get Conor on the post game tv show @AltitudeTV ?
Ignoring God’s role in our success is a dangerous place to be, because it puts the full burden of the outcome on our shoulders, and our shoulders just aren’t big enough.
It’s been almost a year since @samponder was abruptly fired by ESPN. Since then, she has been in a self-described hibernation…until now.
This is not an interview, it’s a conversation. It’s Sam’s story. Her story of why she believes she was fired, how that awful moment prompted endless self-reflection…changing her life in the most beautiful ways. Being fired helped her marriage, helped her relationship with her kids, changed her perspective on so much, and strengthened her beliefs in many other ways.
