She’s the woman that everyone depends on- always there for the people she loves, somehow able to do anything and fix everything.
Her spirit is beautiful and her passion is fiery- she finds a way to get everything done with a smile on her face and a spring in her step.
Those around her admire her for the unstoppable attitude she exudes in almost anything she does and wonders how she manages to be as strong and resilient as she is.
What they don’t know about this proud woman is the hard road she’s taken to reach where she is today. The mountains she’s been forced to climb and the obstacles she’s overcome have forged her ironclad strength..
But it wasn’t as easy as many might think.
She’s been knocked down and broken countless times, faced with days of heartache and times of trouble.
But she always made a choice- well, the struggle made her choice for her.
She never stayed down, she never complained or lamented her misfortunes..
Instead, the strong woman the world marvels at … every time, she picked herself up, dusted herself off and got back up and kept fighting.
With every failure, she grew smarter.
Through each battle, she became stronger.
After each success, she became prouder…
Of the person she was becoming , the challenges she’d overcome and the power of her dreams she was realizing.
She faced the same things everyone is confronted with- rejection, pain, loss and defeat.
She chose to never be defined by her struggle and to continue to rise against the storms of life with a zealous passion that could not be contained.
She would never be “just another woman,” for this confidently fierce warrior battled and fought for a better life, happiness and joy in her heart.
While many focused on surviving, she wanted more.
She needed more than just getting by.
So, as this scrappy woman stood before the mirror today, a day like many others,
The gleam in her eye and fire in her heart were unmistakable.
She didn’t know how she’d get it all done, but she always did.
She dug deep and every day, rose again..
Because she had learned what she had to be:
More than a woman, a warrior or a fighter-
She had to be unstoppable.
And one more thing..
This woman?
She is me.

Here we go! Cold arctic air plunging southward next Friday. Temps will be 25-30 degrees below normal. Coldest since 2018. Here is what I need you to do:
1. Please have a network up where you and your family, friends, neighbors can check on the elderly. Make sure they are warm.

2. Remember to drip indoor faucets because we will be below freezing for many many hours. Cover outside ones with something.

3. Check heating system and PLEASE be careful with those smaller space heaters.

4. Cars need to be ready for the cold.

5. Seeing some strong wind too. That could mean trees down and power outages. Make sure you have a plan if that should happen to you.

6. Watch Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz and Severe Weather Team 2 for the latest updates in your neighborhood.

NOW is the time to prepare. Not next week.
