“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.” - William James, American Philosopher. First, please accept my sincerest gratitude. Speaking for myself and everyone represented monthly in this publication, we all truly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to connect with us here in the pages of Broomfield Lifestyle. This community thrives thanks to people like you that care to learn more and get involved. Next, just for fun, we’re having a TURKEY HUNT in this issue!

When you spot him, scan the QR code for a special message and a chance to win a free gift courtesy of Broomfield Lifestyle. Lastly, I'll leave you with a question. What are you truly grateful for? Take a moment to reflect on that sometime over the coming days and weeks. Chances are, there is someone you could text or call right now that would love to hear from you. You may not realize it, but someone, somewhere, is probably craving appreciation. As we're teaching our young daughters, why not be the one to fill their bucket? In gratitude,

November is here! Bring on football, turkey, and an extra helping of gratitude. Each year as November rolls around we are prompted to remember all the things for which we are grateful. While gratitude is most often portrayed as an outward expression, it is equally important to focus on self-gratitude and the practice of self-care. But do we? One unique offering that bridges efficient with effective is IV Infusion Therapy, an intravenous drip that delivers a high concentration of vitamins directly into the bloodstream. People who find themselves under the weather, drained, stressed, or fatigued can spend a quick 30 minutes loading their body with all of the positivity it needs. Feel a cold coming on? An immunity infusion will give your system a boost, helping protect you from infection, reduce the duration of your illness, and speed up your recovery time. Struggling with jet lag? Sit back in an easy chair as your body rehydrates, your system detoxes, and your body resets from the fatigue. Want to kick that hangover you didn’t see coming? A vitamin-packed infusion “cocktail” will rehydrate your system and restore your energy. Not so crazy about needles but want the results? A highly trained team of RNs will make sure you are relaxed and comfortable. Many people even choose to go with a friend! You’ll be seated in a comfy chair, and you are encouraged to bring something to read or watch during your session. Interested in giving this a try? The team at Urban Squeeze Med Spa, Wellness, & Chiropractic is located near Highway 7 & Sheridan in Vista Ridge. In our culture where people are constantly plugged-in, leaving little time for their own wellness, the Urban Squeeze team creates a space where clients can easily access a blend of healing, beauty, and overall mind and body wellness in a way that matches their schedule and their budget. “We started offering IV therapy because more and more people were asking for it,” said Rachel Smolinski, owner of Urban Squeeze. “The benefits are numerous! Not only is it a great immunity booster for the holidays, but it can even help with brain fog, and bring relief for PMS symptoms.” IV therapy can even help ease pain and inflammation from severe injuries. From a recent client; “I felt so good after the IV treatment I received! I have various issues from a leg amputation, but I am fully hydrated and all my inflammation and muscle fatigue is gone. I feel rejuvenated and ready for the day ahead of me!” Want to start feeling better today? No problem! Same-day appointments are available, and walk-ins are welcome. Come through the door and you will be treated like family as a personalized and realistic wellness experience is created. Simple. Easy. Timesensitive. The perfect formula for self-care for someone on the go. It is well known that you cannot pour from an empty cup. In this season of gratitude, make sure to take a little time to offer some to yourself.

DREAMS COME TRUE FOR BROOMFIELD’S HIDDEN HEROES With a little love from Grant a Dream Foundation, Broomfield’s own Aaron and Mandy Sellen have begun to dream again.

“For better or for worse; in sickness and in health.” When Aaron and Mandy Sellen stood together as bride and groom under a bright August sun in 2009, they could hardly have imagined what their vows would mean for the journey to come. Thirteen years and three beautiful children later (Clive, age 11; Elenore, age 4; and Desmond, age 3), the Sellens’ daily life is far from typical. Early on, countless hospital visits revealed Clive has a rare genetic condition that comes with a long list of other conditions. “Clive doesn’t sleep well due to seizure activity,” Mandy says, “and the constant screaming can give us anxiety, so we’re working on ways to find calm and teach our [neurotypical] daughter some healthy ways to handle all the noise.” In July 2020, little Desmond was diagnosed with the same genetic condition as Clive. Aaron and Mandy were left with the seemingly unbearable truth that they now have two kids with a disease affecting fewer than one thousand people in the U.S. “It’s been difficult,” Mandy says. “Aaron and I do the best we can to keep our marriage going.” That’s when the couple reached out to Grant a Dream Foundation. Hearing their story, Grant a Dream sent Aaron and Mandy on an all-expense-paid beach getaway to Florida. “The trip was a huge blessing,” Aaron says, “and helped us get refreshed as caregivers. For me personally, it’s a reminder we need that time and we have to make it a priority.” Mandy adds, “As caregivers, it’s important that, as a team, we’re connected and able to communicate, and thisdream getaway gave us that chance.”

Founder Ann Townsend & Executive Director Derik Timmerman

G IV IN G BAC K | L IFE + CULTURE

The hope that Grant a Dream gives the Sellens and so many other caregiver families is a matter of deeply personal significance for the organization’s founder, Ann Townsend. “I’ve always been an incredibly hopeful person,” Ann says, “but there have been moments as a parent caregiver when I remember feeling like all hope had left me.” When Ann’s daughter Hannah was born with a life-threatening liver condition, the family began a decades-long journey of sleepless nights, health scares, and hospital visits.“ One day,” Ann recalls, “is doable. Even ten. But when it stretched to hundreds, then thousands of days, for twenty-plus years, I started to believe there was no end in sight. Just one small break, one chance to feel normal again, would have made all the difference.” According to the 2019 American Community Survey, a disability is defined as havingdifficulty with one or more of the following essential life activities: seeing, hearing, concentrating or remembering (ages 5+), walking or climbing stairs (ages 5+), dressing or bathing (ages 5+), or doing errands (ages 15+). Over three million children in the United States have a disability, or 4.3% of the under-18 population. That means one out of twenty-five homes we drive past every day here in Broomfield has a mom, dad, or both on the verge of caregiver burnout.

“I just knew,” Ann remembers, “that I had to do something to help them.” Founded in 2017, Grant a Dream Foundation is a Broomfield-based 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization whose vision is to see all caregiver parents find the renewal they need. Grant a Dream’s ongoing mission is to reduce caregiver burnout by sending the parents of chronically ill and special needs children on rejuvenating dream getaways. As Ann herself experienced, caregiver parents don’t often give themselves permission to take the time away that parents with neurotypical children do. One dream recipient couple shared that their special needs daughter sleeps between them every night to ensure they can respond with life-saving care during one of her frequent, severe seizures. Grant a Dream exists to give these “hidden heroes” a chance to feel normal again and encourages them to do so on a regular basis for the rest of their caregiver journey. “These dreams,” Ann writes, “are not just about a fleeting, happy moment. They’re about showing these beautiful souls, these precious parents who deserve it most, how to dream again.” Grant a Dream needs you! Visit grantadream.org to learn more about how to get involved.

grat • i • tude GRATITUDE IS DEFINED AS THE QUALITY OF BEING THANKFUL; READINESS TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR AND TO RETURN KINDNESS ARTICLE BY LINDA DELAND PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH DAWN PHOTOGRAPHY

"May you approach each new morning with Gratitude for another day and the new beginnings that are calling you" With a sincere heart, I extend my immeasurable gratitude to the Broomfield community, my community and home. You extended your love and support to me and my family holding us up when we needed it most. The tragic loss of Tom was felt so deeply by so many but none as crushing as the loss to our family. We are healing and learning to live our days without him knowing he is still very much a part of our everyday life and still a part of this community which he helped mold and keep safe. I cannot recall where the quote above crossed my path, but it remains part of my message to myself daily as I move forward. It gives me strength and courage and my hope is that it provides that to you. Thank you Broomfield! You are my home!

Broomfield Enterprise – February 2, 2022 “Our hearts are broken at the police department and across the city and county today as we work to process this loss,” said current Chief of Police, Enea Hempelmann. “Chief Deland’s leadership impacted me personally, and so many of us, and his legacy will remain deeply rooted in our department for years to come.”

From the Heart The perfect local jewelry boutique for that special holiday gift. ARTICLE BY JUSTIN SCHIERKOLK | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH DAWN PHOTOGRAPHY

You might know the feeling. That feeling when you open a gift from a loved one, and it is so immediately apparent that thought, love, and time was invested in you. Receiving a gift that is one-of-a-kind, unique to you – the feeling of being loved can be overwhelming. Or maybe you’ve witnessed someone else’s moment. The look on their face. Hands covering their mouth or heart. The gasp, the tears, the hugs, the happiness. Pure joy. That feeling. That’s the real gift, isn’t it? And when that same feeling reappears now and then as the years go by, whenever the special item is worn, displayed, or enjoyed by the recipient, the gift becomes evergreen. Even if the moment is fleeting, the memory is re-lived, and a sense of timeless joy can let us experience a glimpse of what heaven just might be like. Welcome to Jewelfire Diamonds of Broomfield. This fine jewelry boutique specializes in unique pieces not found anywhere else, but more than that, their specialty lies in helping you create that “Ahhh!!” moment when the person you love first opens their special gift. Walking through the door, you are greeted with a welcome smile by Khristy, Kathy, Stan, or Nancy. Treating people like family isn’t just some cheesy platitude here. It’s genuine. They care about the people of Broomfield. Each of them is filled with stories of how they’ve helped others over the years; whether it was finding the perfect gift for Christmas or Mother's Day, re-imagining a treasured family heirloom with a delicate understanding of its significance, or simply replacing a watch battery. They listen to your needs, but importantly, they understand that the items they help you create have a story, a meaning that goes far beyond gemstones and metal.

These four expert consultants are supported by two outstanding jewelers, Felix and Alejandro. They both work on-location, a huge advantage when it comes to producing high-quality jewelry with speed and accuracy. With careful attention to the smallest details, they turn creative ideas and vision into tangible pieces of unique and beautiful art. “The custom pieces we create are so much more than jewelry”, says Khristy Nash, the store owner. “Beyond the eye-catching aesthetics and custom design and fit, each piece is meant to tell a story. The heirlooms we create can connect generations.” Khristy knows jewelry, but perhaps more importantly, she knows people. For over 40 years she has been helping folks just like you find or create jewelry that has personal significance. You can trust her to listen carefully and guide you down the right path. One recent customer had this to say: “The team at Jewelfire was so helpful and awesome assisting us in our wedding set choices. My ring was a vintage piece passed down from my husband's family, so selecting a reputable jeweler to resize it was very important to us. They did a beautiful job with excellent attention to detail. We also bought my husband’s wedding band from them and they patiently guided us through all of the options for mens bands. I highly recommend them for jewelry care, repair, and purchases!” Unique, heirloom quality gifts will always be a hit during the holidays, or anytime, for that matter. But, there is one thing that can make it even more special – and that is having it made by local people that, like you, have chosen to make Broomfield home to their business. Please enjoy this gift guide, and let it inspire you to stop by Jewelfire Diamonds of Broomfield this holiday season. They are ready to help you create that “Ahhhh!” moment that will be remembered and shared for many years to come.

Thank You Broomfield! ARTICLE BY SHAY BRASE PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH DAWN PHOTOGRAPHY

There is a delicate balance that local business owners must abide by in order to grow and succeed. This balance insists that you not only create a culture that patrons will appreciate and come to respect, but also that the business shows its support and gratitude toward the community it calls home. Hollan-Dazed, a breakfast spot born during the pandemic, understands this assignment. When large gatherings were banned, owners Jared and Alyssa Ramos took a leap from their catering company and planted concrete roots in Broomfield. Since opening in March of 2021, they have felt the support of their city, and have been happy to bless it back in times of need. “We have always believed that giving comes from a place of love,” Alyssa says, “and it comes back tenfold.”

The two were quick to donate their time (and a few hundred breakfast burritos) to feed the first responders during the Marshall Fire. They also didn’t hesitate to donate their space and even labor to host showers and family events during Covid for regular patrons of Hollan-Dazed when they needed a generous hand. This season, the Hollan-Dazed family humbly wishes to say “thanks” to their families, their supporters, and the entire community for helping them become what they are. Also, if you haven’t experienced one of their handheld eggs Benedict sandwiches or their breakfast grilled cheese, layered with housesmoked pork belly, balsamic tomato, egg and smoked gouda, what are you waiting for?

Would you know what to do if you lost your job?

TIPS TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR

AN UNEXPECTED CAREER CRISIS. ARTICLE BY DAVE MANLEY & AARON RASK PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH DAWN PHOTOGRAPHY

3. Account for every penny. Review your terms of employment and claim any money owed to you from bonuses, commissions-even unused vacation. Also, find out if you are entitled to a severance package. If not, file for unemployment benefits right away since it may take weeks to process. Aaron Rask & Dave Manley - Summit Financial Solutions, Broomfield

We all know how important it is to be prepared for a fire, flood, or other type of emergency. What about something that seems less dramatic, but can be equally devastating, like unemployment? You can't dial 911 or stop, drop, and roll, but you can take steps to help minimize some of the fallout from losing your job. 1. Stay positive. It's important to remember that the decision was probably based on the economy or other external factors. 2. Be professional. If you handle yourself with decorum, your employer may be willing to serve as a reference, recommend you to vendors, and even provide assistance with interviewing and resume building. Plus, if their economic situation continues to improve, who's to say they won't hire you back?

4. Replace lost benefits. If your spouse works, see if you can add yourself to his or her health care plan. If not, you can apply for COBRA coverage within 60 days of termination and extend your health care benefits for 18 months. Similarly, you may want to purchase an affordable term life insurance policy to help replace any workplace coverage you may have had. 5. Evaluate your retirement plans. While some employers allow you to leave your 401(k) in place, it may not always be the right move. Have a financial professional look the plan over and see if you are better off rolling over the funds into a traditional IRA or Roth IRA.1 6. Network-Network-Network. You never know where your next job will come from, so take advantage of every networking opportunity. Also, be sure to use social media platforms like LinkedIn to help connect with people on line and let them know you're looking.

(1) When considering rolling over the proceeds of your employer-sponsored retirement plan to an IRA, you have the option, among others, of leaving the funds in your existing plan, if permitted, or rolling them into your new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted. Each choice offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on the desired investment options and services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment, and your unique financial needs and retirement plans.

Your Autumn Dinner Party Is Served Catering experts Chef Kyle and Hannah Williams, owners of Savor & Swirl culinary company, create an outdoor dinner party with chef-driven perennial dishes served in beautiful seasonal settings. For this alfresco Autumn Dinner Party, Chef Kyle draws on favorite fall recipes updated for a modern palate and paired with wine selections to complement the bountiful feast. Hannah creates an iconic autumn ambiance using artisanal table settings and mixed flannels for each guest to blanket any chill on a brisk evening. Whether for Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving or a new November tradition, it’s time to get outdoors again surrounded in sweater-weather coziness while sharing bites and clinks with family and friends.

Insider Tips for Hosting: • Build a menu around the season. “In November, people crave turkey, sage stuffing and cranberry sauce,” Chef Kyle says. “Autumn dinners mean bigger-course meals with varied proteins, like turkey, duck and sirloin, hearty starches, and good fall produce, especially root vegetables such as butternut squash and pumpkin.” • Always greet guests with a beverage and appetizers. “Offer champagne for wine-lovers or a sparkling drink or signature cocktail. It’s all about serving guests to the highest caliber,” Kyle says. • Draw inspiration from the season’s changing colors, cooler temps and lower humidity to move back outdoors. “Think flannel blankets, wooden tables, fire pits, open grills, string lights and candles to create a really cool environment you haven’t been able to do all summer.”
