I speak a lot about fear and how it can hold you back. This morning, I want to flip it a bit. Because, when you Face Everything and Rise, fear can actually be a good thing. First of all, your body is incapable of lying. Butterflies in the stomach, headaches, even body pains can tell you when something is going on.

These bodily responses can be used like a GPS though, to tell you what’s really going on inside you. It can tell you when fear is approaching. I challenge you, at least once this week, to stand your ground.

Mr. Carson High

A winter storm that wasn’t necessarily supposed to pack a big punch did, sort of, bringing a foot or more of much-needed snow around Lake Tahoe area ski resorts Friday and Saturday.

In what has been a dismal season where resorts have retooled the layers of snow they do have and producing as much as they can with snow making machines, the last day of February 2015 brought out droves of skiers and new hope for a so-called "Miracle March" in the Sierra, where late winter systems have historically pummeled Lake Tahoe with several feet of snow.

Keep up the snowy thoughts, Carson City. We desperately need the water, the ski resorts need visitors, and those mountains are so much prettier with a blanket of white. Wildcat Softball on Saturday is weather pending, so it’s too early for me to call it canceled.
