Day 24
When did you receive your diagnosis of ALS?
Eight years ago today.
I sat in a small neurology clinic in Liberty and heard the words that would change my life forever. A moment permanently etched into my memory.
I was alone. Terrified. Overwhelmed with fear, uncertainty, and questions no one could truly answer. In an instant, life as I knew it split into a before and an after.
At 29 years old, I was told I had a terminal disease.
I didn’t know what the future would look like. I didn’t know how much time I had, how much I would lose, or how I was supposed to carry the weight of a diagnosis like ALS. There is no guidebook for this life. No perfect way to process it. No roadmap for surviving the unimaginable.
But eight years later, I’m still here.
I’ve endured more than I ever thought possible, but I’ve also experienced deeper love, stronger faith, greater perspective, and more meaningful connections than I could have imagined back then. ALS has taken a lot from me, but it has not taken my ability to fight, to laugh, to love, or to live a life that still holds purpose.
If that scared 29-year-old version of me could see who she would become, I think she’d be proud.
Not because this journey has been easy — it hasn’t — but because somehow, through all of it, I kept going.
And maybe that’s what courage really is. Not living without fear, but continuing to move forward in spite of it.

The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the potential of heavy snow later today, tonight, and Wednesday. The heaviest snow is likely later tonight and Wednesday. Here is their forecast. The #LRC prediction from 100-days ago is verifying.

The video captures scenes of the rescued farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, horses, etc.) voluntarily lining up and walking into their pens to sleep at exactly the right time every evening — without the owner needing to call them at all. They are incredibly obedient and look so happy, except for Rudolph who was being a little naughty. 💖✨
The highlight is the adorable pair — Winston the mini cow and his little pig best friend — trotting along right behind them.

What caption would you give this one? Happy Birthday to Kevin Holmes @kholmesKSHB . Kevin is turning 29 years old again! His last day at KSHB is one week from today! This is one of my favorite pictures we took on a promotional shoot. We will miss you Kevin! He got a great job in the Twin Cities!

Why the change? The storm is now a real storm aloft essentially. We get a major wave aloft coming our way Sunday morning in the model. It's more of a classic snowstorm set-up for us in arctic air. With ratios it would be 8-12" system. jl #mowx #kswx #kansascity

Writing a blog now...it will be out in 30 min. Typing as fast as I can. New NAM is "different". 2 waves. 1 overnight Friday...then not much SAT...then a bigger wave now on SUN AM. At face value it would be widespread 8-10" for the vast majority of region. #mowx #kswx jl
