Patterson was named interim editor-inchief, filling the vacancy left by the death in November 2019 of Jeri Seely, long-time editor-in-chief. Patterson has been employed full time at the company since May 22, 1978. Over the years, she has won a number of awards in photography and reporting through the Hoosier State Press Association. She was editor of the four northern Indiana Senior Life publications from their inceptions until taking on a position as editor of InkFreeNews. “Deb grew up in this business and has the solid support of her coworkers in our editorial department as she takes on this new challenge. Through years of honing her reporting and photographic skills under the tutelage of Jeri and my father, Arch, I have every confidence she will continue to carry our standard forward for solid coverage of local news and events,” said Baumgartner. “I am grateful to have the support, encouragement and backing of the staff and publisher,” Patterson said. “I had great mentoring from former publisher Arch Baumgartner and gained invaluable knowledge from Jeri working under her for all the years at the company.”

From the executive editor I have always loved March because it contains one of my favorite holidays: St. Patrick’s Day—with my red hair and pale skin, does that surprise you? But now, March has become my favorite month because two of my favorite people were born: my daughters Annabelle (2016) and Adella (2019). Of course, we didn’t plan for both of our daughters to be born in March, but it’s the way the stars aligned. And this year, we get to celebrate their 4th and 1st birthdays! It doesn’t seem possible—sometimes it feels like they’ve always been with us, and sometimes it feels like it has gone in a flash. I guess that’s where “the days are long but the years are short” comes from. In addition to being a mom and the executive editor of this fine publication, I am also an entrepreneur. I own two businesses: Red Bird Writing, a marketing and public relations firm; and Fort Wayne Food Tours, a downtown culinary tour company—so this issue is near and dear to my heart as we focus on the entrepreneurs in our community. From art entrepreneurs to mompreneurs and more, it is full of inspiring stories and resources for those interested in starting their own business. Since I moved to this region in 2002, I have seen a dramatic shift in the fabric of our community—away from big business and towards locally grown businesses. It is a good time to be an entrepreneur in our region. So, enjoy the content we’ve put together for you—and remember, support local and help our community thrive.

What women want in workwear By Lauren Caggiano
This isn’t your mother’s workplace – and that
shutterstock.com
reality is reflected in many facets of the professional world, including fashion. Gone are the days of starched shirts, suits and skirts. Today’s workplace is more casual, which requires a different approach to getting dressed than in previous generations. Is this trend here to stay?
Emma Marie Metcalf with Lyn-Maree’s Boutique in Auburn believes that’s the case. The entrepreneur has experienced this change and it’s reflected in her inventory.
Along with practicality, Metcalf said versatility is another factor at play here. Women wear many hats, but they shouldn’t have to have a wardrobe for each per se.
“I definitely see trends staying more casual,” she said. “I think the whole legging and yoga-wear movement has had a huge effect on the apparel industry.”
“You’ve got to be a Pinterest Mom, full-time employee, entrepreneur, influencer, workoutaholic, chef.... and the list goes on. We simply have to have clothing that fits our lifestyle, not just our workplace,” she said.
That means women are opting to wear pieces that are both cute and comfortable. In her words, “we are not conforming to the idea ‘beauty is pain’ anymore. You can look beautiful, confident and ready to conquer the world in something fashionable and comfortable.” How might that translate at the store? She said women are looking for more comfortable shoes, pants that look professional but have amazing stretch, and tops that are as warm as they are stylish and professional.

Metcalf said those preferences are being accommodated more and more.

| MARCH GLO 2020 |
“I think designers are finally listening to what we actually want to wear,” she said. “We want to feel good, look good, be comfortable, be able to wear our clothing at home, work, out to dinner, out for drinks... not have 6 wardrobes for every occasion. We have to be more practical in our choices.”
Sue Johnson with Susan’s Fashions agrees.
“We have noticed that people who work seem to be dressing more casual,” she said. “It still depends on the work environment and the profession as to what a person is expected to portray.” This is an important caveat, as some people can wear jeans with a nice top and then others can’t wear jeans but can wear nice pants with casual tops and jackets. It all comes down to the profession and the environment. However, in her observations ulta-dressy is out. “It seems that the stuffy suits are in the past and the more relaxed and comfortable styles are in,” she said. “I think that that trend is here to stay, and people do not want to give that style up now that they are into it.” a

Back to Basics:
The Biggest
Brow
Trend of 2020
By Kristin King
After years of attempting to create the perfect brow with gels, powders, pencils and those dreaded tweezers, anyone who prefers a low maintenance beauty routine can rejoice. Natural is making a comeback. While 2019 was heavily influenced by crafting the seamlessly sculpted brow, we’ll be looking towards going back to basics for the year ahead. As we move into a new year, we often see trends across all platforms begin to take shape. As fashion and home décor movements begin to focus on a more minimalistic approach, it seems that beauty trends are inevitably following (or even leading the way). With that in mind, it feels fitting that 2020 will bring in a revival of the natural-looking brow and with it tips on how to achieve your best look.
Embracing a feathery, textured brow appearance is what the world of cosmetics has in store and it seems to be a welcomed shift. The industry is working hard to keep up with the everchanging demands of its consumers, and what Autumn offers to her clients is no exception. Her most requested service is simply a brow wax and tint.
Complimentary brow fill that she does at the end of all brow waxing based on specific client needs
While exploring what to expect out of eyebrows this year, we spoke with Autumn Woods, owner of Autumn Woods Artistry, who noted that previously we saw a major boom in the trend of “Instagram-worthy brows” that had to be flawlessly executed. This year her current clientele is “seeking balanced, clean-looking brows that complement their face shape.”
Her process lasts for a minimum of three weeks, and she recommends that anyone hoping to achieve fuller brows just allow them to be. No over plucking or unnecessary maintenance. Give them a chance to breathe in-between sessions for best results.
Brow mapping method
Brow wax and tint 12
| MARCH GLO 2020 |
She describes the process as, “a method called brow mapping that measures out exactly where the brow should start, arch and end based on that client’s face shape. When I’m finished with waxing, I apply a vegetable dye that temporarily stains the hair and skin under the brow for a bolder, filled-in look that creates a more maintenance-free lifestyle for my clients.”
Day-to-day life is often hectic, fast-paced and full of stress. Creating a look that allows us to feel comfortable and confident shouldn’t have to be. The return of a low maintenance beauty routine not only gives us more time to focus on the things that matter in our lives, but it promotes and celebrates self-love and confidence in our naturalness, as well. 2019 ushered in the importance of self-care, and 2020 will only continue to nurture that idea with trends that suit our lifestyles and allow us to embrace the beauty we all share inside and out. a graphic: shutterstock.com

REESHA HOWARD 14
| MARCH GLO 2020 |
Let’s get glowing! By Jaclyn Youhana Garver | Photo by Mollie Shutt
Back in October, Reesha Howard uploaded a video to 6 Howards, her YouTube Channel, called “Extensive Guide to Battling Seasonal Depression.”
drvskin.com
Vindhya Veerula MD
Board Certified Dermatologist
In the midst of explaining Seasonal Affective Disorder and sharing what works for her—from natural supplements to reaching out to family and friends, from relying on her faith to seeing a therapist—she admits that she’s checking notes she jotted on “a bootleg envelope” and in a phone memo. Once, when the memory card fills up, there’s a hard cut followed by a Whoops, sorry about that, and she picks up right where she left off. Her tips aren’t in any order, which makes her advice seem like a back-and-forth. The video is simply Howard, full-screen, talking straight into the camera. It’s easy to feel like she’s talking to you, that she cares about you and wants to help you. 6 Howards is the YouTube channel of the Howard family. The goals are simple: show how the family plays and prays; how it works and rests. It’s important to Howard because, as she said, “there aren’t a ton of families out there quite like mine.” “A lot of people don’t know what it looks like for a family that’s black to be homeschooled,” said Howard. “(My husband, Ron) is a retired basketball player, so there are unique elements on top of us being vegan. Other people might find that interesting.”

Her hunch was a good one: In less than a year, 6 Howards has nearly 1,500 YouTube subscribers, and she’s monetized the channel. “It can take years to accomplish that, unless they (YouTubers) do something scandalous or make content that is controversial, piggy back off others, or they go viral,” she said. “We’ve had none of those things take place. It’s truly been about being ourselves.”

She admits that, at first, she had reservations: she never wanted to post anything that her kids could later regret. She was concerned about online creeps who’d be unkind or worse. There’s the safety and privacy concerns of posting about life online. Those worries have proven unfounded. Her kids love the channel, and viewers’ responses have been nearly universally positive (there was that one guy that one time, but isn’t there always?) The benefits have been plentiful: Her kids can pull videos from meaningful times in their lives. It allowed Howard to see herself in a truthful light, playing back, for example, certain tones of voice she didn’t mean to use. And there’s the business benefit. Howard works with certain brands and hopes to expand on those partnerships. But that’s not the point.

KIM SHANKS Age 18
Get back to what’s important with our short-term rehabilitation.
By Stacie Ball | Photo by Zack Kittaka
High school senior Kim Shanks has an interest in spreading kindness to other countries. Through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, she gained the tremendous opportunity to spend a year abroad in Japan, getting to know the people, culture and country. 141552
“I never expected how much living in Japan would change my life,” Shanks reminisced. Her fondest memory is a spring trip when she got to explore Japan and view some of the most beautiful and culturally rich places she had ever seen. Additionally, she and her fellow students became a closeknit family, creating memories she will never forget. She said, “There isn’t a day that I don’t miss them and I can’t wait for the day we can reunite.”

1649 Spy Run Ave. • Fort Wayne, IN 46805 LifeCareCenterOfFortWayneIN.com
One of the most valuable things Shanks learned abroad was how to be confident in herself. “I learned not only a lot about how the world works, but also myself,” she explained, “If I can figure out how to get around the streets of a foreign country by myself, then I’m pretty sure I can take on anything else that may come my way.” Back in the states, Shanks continues to participate in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. She assists other students as they train for their own upcoming experiences abroad and helps students from foreign countries adjust to their stay here in Indiana. Shanks also enjoys being a member of her school’s Culture Club and working weekends at a local paint shop. The club helps bring an awareness of other countries and cultures to a number of students in a really fun way. Members even find recipes from other countries to make and share. With all of the things on her plate, Shanks does not allow herself to be overwhelmed. When her tasks pile up, she compares it to what seems like an “impassible mountain,” but she reminds herself to take one thing at a time. As she checks off each completed task in her planner, she realizes, “That big workload doesn’t seem as stressful anymore.”
Spring Cleaning, Clearouts & Demolition WE CAN HELP WITH THAT!
Shanks is keeping her options open for the future. She hopes to attain a Bachelor’s degree from a University in America or Japan and then go on to the Peace Corps. She expressed, “I guess the only thing I really know for certain is that in five years, I hope that I’ve given back some of the love that the world has shown me in some form or another.” We say that people in America have a “heart” for service. In Japan, it is said that the “belly” is the center of the emotions and thoughts. Evidently, Shanks must have a “belly” for service and speaks the global language of love. a

RON HOWARD 18
| MARCH GLO 2020 |
By Jaclyn Youhana Garver | Photo by Jeffrey Crane
There are certain expectations a basketball fan might have for a retired player nicknamed “Mr. Mad Ant.” Ron Howard might meet all those expectations. Howard, who retired from the Mad Ants in 2014, is the D-League’s all-time leading scorer and the only Mad Ant with a retired number. He’s now the team’s community development manager and can be seen greeting fans at games and pumping his fists courtside at exceptional plays. But Mr. Mad Ant is not a native Hoosier. He and his wife are from Chicago, and during the first years of Howard’s career, they lived in Fort Wayne only during the season. Then it started to feel like home, like family.
Don’t Rely on Luck Choose a realtor that will work hard to lead you to your pot of gold.
Love where you live
“That was the initial thing that we fell in love with: the people here. Three of our four children were born here,” Howard said. Today, in additional to his role with the Mad Ants, he and his wife have become serial entrepreneurs. They have a clothing line, It Will Happen, which promotes the message that faith will help you get through whatever you’re facing, good or bad. There’s CPNJ Vending, the vegan-only vending machine company, and there’s Game Day Sports Camp, the summer camp with something for everyone. The camp averages 75 to 80 campers each June, and this summer will be its ninth year. They came up with the idea thanks to their oldest two children. Early on, it became clear that one loved sports; the other did not.

“What do parents do when they have to take one kid across town because the son doesn’t want to play basketball, but the daughter does?” Howard asked. “We wanted to create an environment where you can bring all your children to the same place and have something they can call their own.” Which means that kids at Game Day Sports Camp can play ball or paint; spend time with Legos or action figures. There’s themed parties on Fridays—from Halloween in July to the carnival where Howard got into a dunk tank—and field trips to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo and the bowling alley at Georgetown Entertainment. There’s daily character-building sessions that prioritize anti-bullying and building self-esteem. The camp is every June, but Howard stays in contact with many families. He attends gymnastics meets and birthday parties, volleyball games and graduations. And he’s seen the difference it can make in children’s lives. He remembers one camper who never spoke outside his home. At school, the 6-year-old went an entire school year without speaking. The Howards try to create an environment where campers feel comfortable, where they know they’re loved and are free to move at their own pace. After a week and a half, the camper asked Howard for something they didn’t have. “I left camp and went to the store and brought it back to camp,” Howard remembers. “When the parent came, she was literally just crying. ‘What did you all do?’” a

How female entrepreneurs are changing the art scene in Northeast Indiana By Mary Jane Bogle
Pursuing a career as an artist is certainly not safe, at least if relying on a steady paycheck is important to you. But safe isn’t a word that drives these five area artists to create, inspire and uplift the community. Meet the women who are steadily changing the way Northeast Indiana thinks about art.
Alexandra Hall
“I try to bring some whimsy into the mundane.” That’s what Alexandra Hall accomplishes with acrylic paintings that feature vibrant colors and storybook themes, inspiring creativity, energy and joy. In addition to exhibiting and selling her artwork, both locally and nationwide, Hall is an avid art advocate and community supporter, creating pieces for the Riverfront Bench Project, Bust a Move and several nonprofit organizations. She also plans to continue to program public art through mural programs, such as Art This Way. Learn more at alexandrahallart.com.
Lisa Vetter
In response to today’s throw away society, Lisa Vetter is on a mission to help people take inventory of what they see by putting found objects together in unexpected ways. “I love taking someone’s story and elevating it to a place of honor in their home,” she said. Vetter and husband Paul Siefert promote this “life is art” philosophy by hosting workshops and a Holiday Pop Up Gallery at their 1860 farmhouse and studio. “When you sit down with an artist to learn something, you gain a whole new appreciation for artwork in general,” she said.

With a background in graphic design, Marquart sees color, texture and patterns everywhere, inspiring her to transform functional pieces into works of art. A self-proclaimed advocate for local artists, Marquart is the founder of the Fort Wayne Arts Festival and is working on creating artist studios at the new Wood Shack Architectural Antiques location at 1514 St. Joe Boulevard in Fort Wayne. “I want to give artists a venue to show, sell and promote their work,” she said.

Challenges: Obtaining outside business capital funding and finding employers who are open to giving my candidates suitable employment opportunities has been the greatest challenge.

Advice for female entrepreneurs: Confidence is the key to gaining any momentum. If you feel you have a calling only YOU can activate it; no one is going to turn it on for you. It’s your responsibility to build yourself into the person who can live a great life. It is important to develop the power to build your mental strength, emotional intelligence, and physical health. I would encourage you to stay focused on a creative plane, as opposed to a competitive plane.

What have you been reading lately? Currently I am in the middle of two books: “Invisible Women” by Caroline Criado Perez and “Elevate: The Three Disciplines of Advanced Strategic Thinking” by Rich Horwath. Both books help bring into perspective issues that women face. “Invisible Women” is about biases women face in the professional world. It is loaded with data and statistics and is very enlightening. It also talks about simple changes that would not have taken place without the input of a women. For example: a female executive never thought to have pregnancy parking added to the corporate parking lot until she herself became pregnant. As her pregnancy advanced, the walk from the parking lot to the office grew increasingly challenging. This struggle led to redesigning parking to include spaces for expecting moms. “Elevate” is about advanced strategic thinking. I’m finding it very interesting as it causes me to think deeper. I pride myself in being able to see both sides of an issue. My favorite book is the Bible. I love how it continues to be timeless and causes one to think. Is there a classic book everyone is “supposed” to have read but you never have? “Moby Dick”... I’ve read bits and pieces but was never able to complete it. If a book doesn’t catch my attention and draw me in right away, the likelihood of me reading it to completion is rare. a | MARCH GLO 2020 |

“Mom-preneurs” By Deborah C. Gerbers
Many local moms are taking on a new role—entrepreneur. These “mompreneurs” have found a way to balance their family life, while running successful businesses. Here are a few of their stories and their advice to other moms who might be considering starting a new business.
shutterstock.com
Jayma Mosher started a home-based bakery in 2019 after having several requests for cookies and cakes. Decorated sugar cookies (with gluten-free options) are her most popular items, along with gluten-free and regular cakes for birthdays and special occasions. “It all began with a friend asking me to make her some cookies for gifts,” Mosher explained. “She also encouraged me to post them on Facebook to see if anyone else would be interested. It was a big step for me to do that, but I did and sold ten dozen right away. After that, business continued to come in steadily.” Mosher remains humble with her business success. “Being an entrepreneur seems unreal,” she said. “This business has given me something as a stay-at-home mom that I was missing before. I get to be creative and use my brain in a different way.” Mosher’s family also enjoys her being able to contribute to her household while still staying home with her children. “One of my favorite things about my business is that it doesn’t take me out of my home,” she said. “I often get work done before my two girls (3 and 1) get up, during their naps, or after they go to bed. If I do work when they are up, they are often right at my feet as I bake cookies. My husband is really supportive and that helps so much. On weeks where I have big orders, he picks up the slack by caring for the girls and helping around the house. I couldn’t do it without him.”
Jayma Mosher | The JoyFilled Bakery |
She advises other moms and potential entrepreneurs to take the leap of faith and give it a try. “It’s scary to take those initial steps, and I’m so glad I did. Also, seek out wise counsel to get started and then continue to educate yourself on how to run a successful business,” she said.
“It was important to have a component where we could give back to the community and involve children and families in our work,” she explained. “I came across a news article, where a man was pictured making stuffed polar bears in a children’s hospital with a large fluff machine. I contacted him and he became a friend and mentor to me, and helped me build Zoo So Cute into what it is today.” Today, Tinker has a mobile business with top quality, affordable products that surpass safety standards. Zoo So Cute has three core offerings—private events (birthday parties, sleepovers, day cares), fundraisers for local non-profits, and coordinated events where a business or group sponsors the business to come and give an animal to a well deserving child. “We love pairing a local company with a local non-profit and having employees from the business come onsite to be a direct part of the giving,” she said. “It’s an amazing feeling to know kids are smiling because of you. In 2019, we were able to bless children at Turnstone, Charis House, Erin’s House, Lutheran Hospital and Parkview North Hospital.” Having a part-time business like Zoo So Cute allows Tinker to control and coordinate her own schedule with her family life. “I don’t need to sacrifice my family time to run a successful company; I am integrating them,” she said.

“My advice to other moms considering starting a business is to do your research, create your plan, set some goals, get started and involve your kids,” she recommends. “I have been a Junior Achievement volunteer for nearly 20 years, and I remember being a JA student even before that. JA teaches you that word, ‘entrepreneur,’ in first grade, and it resonated with me. My goal is to continue to double sales each year as word of mouth recommendations continue and our presence in northeast Indiana expands.”
“I have a passion for time management and recently launched a digital planner; all the features of a paper planner but portable on your tablet and phone,” she explained. “I have always had a passion for organizing, but more specifically with doing it on a budget. My goal is to help inspire women to get organized and be more productive so they can save their time, money and space.” Being a mom/entrepreneur works well for Stump and her family. “I have always had a dream to be able to work within my home on my schedule so that I can be available for my family,” she said. “Being able to pursue my passion and have a creative outlet has been amazing.” With a passion to teach others how they can become organized, Stump finds her work truly so rewarding—and doubly so when she can still be available for her family. “As a stay-at-home mom, I am juggling several things not to mention being a mom of a special abilities child who has multiple appointments across town each week,” she explained. “I designate certain times of the day for certain tasks to stay focused and on track.” Stump advises other moms to start saying ‘yes’ to themselves if they have a passion but might be feeling scared, unqualified or worried about what others may think. “I was that woman who had this passion for organizing for years but I kept doubting myself and thinking that I was going to fail,” she said. “I would encourage you to take a leap of faith and start today.” a

There are many myths and exaggerations about what occurs during menopause, which can leave women dreading the inevitable change. Like menstrual cycles or giving birth, everyone has different experiences, so asking friends and family may not always provide the most accurate expectations of menopause. MYTH #1: Menopause is an illnes.s TRUTH: Menopause is just a stage of a woman’s life.
The menopause process begins when a woman starts to run out of functioning eggs and the ovaries begin to produce less estrogen as a result. Typically, this occurs between the ages of 45 and 52, but menopause can be induced earlier due to chemotherapy. According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), menopause is defined as having gone an entire year without a period. If you are experiencing missed periods and/or spotting, that likely indicates perimenopause, the transitional phase right before menopause.
MYTH #3: Sleep problems have nothing to do with menopause.
TRUTH: Sleep is actually one of the major stressors women experience with menopause.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, women experience the most difficulty sleeping from the perimenopause to the postmenopausal stage; usually due to hot flashes and insomnia. To improve sleep, try to avoid caffeine after noon and try using a bedroom fan or turning down the temperature right before bed.
MYTH #2: Pregnancy can’t occur when going through menopause.
TRUTH: Peri/Menopause is a process and a woman can still potentially get pregnant until going an entire year without a period.
Perimenopause lasts approximately four years before a woman is actually in the menopause state, according to the Office on Women’s Health. If still experiencing spotting or irregular bleeding, staying on birth control or using a condom is still the safest bet to avoid an unexpected pregnancy.

| MARCH GLO 2020 |
MYTH #4: Hot flashes and weight gain are inevitable.
TRUTH: Generally, weight gain is not associated with menopause, but rather the aging process, such as a slower metabolism.
Although hot flashes may be unavoidable for some, the North American Menopause Society encourages living an active lifestyle as growing evidence supports that exercise can increase postmenopausal women’s quality of life.

Myths t u o ab Menopause
Other common symptoms of peri/menopause may include: • Night sweats • Irritability • Tiredness • Difficulty sleeping/insomnia • Aches and pains • Forgetfulness • Reduced sex drive • Vaginal dryness
MYTH #5: Menopause does not require treatment.
TRUTH: Although some women may not need treatment during menopause, many women choose some form of therapy or assistance.
Since women go through menopause at different rates and have various symptoms, it is important to find a treatment that is catered to your own needs. Places like Fort Wayne Custom RX will work with clients to create an individualized plan, which may or may not include hormone therapy. Many women also choose to start an antidepressant to help manage their moods or try complementary therapies. Common complimentary therapies used to assist with menopause include acupuncture or acupressure, yoga, herbal remedies (black cohosh, St. John’s wort and ginseng are popular) and changes to the diet. a

Thoughts on Entrepreneurship By Cathy Shouse
Ric Runestad, president and CEO of Runestad Financial Services, shared his thoughts: Why do people start businesses? Many Americans have a desire to make their own decisions and to pave their own way. They think they know more than their bosses, and you know what? Sometimes they are right. They see things differently and they think they are right. If they are right, they may get rich. If they are wrong, or the circumstances just don’t work out, then they can start over again. Having a way into your own company ownership is a wonderful part of the American experiment. Maybe it is the best part. What are the challenges to consider? When deciding to start a business, there are a few major questions one needs to answer. 1. Do I know enough about what my business does to run and own my own company? Sometimes people don’t understand their job very well but that doesn’t stop them from thinking they can do things better than companies that already exist.

Small business is on the rise. According to ChamberofCommerce.org, between 2009 and 2016, approximately 400,000 small businesses opened each year in the United States. As of 2018, there were 30.2 million small businesses; 22 million of those run by one person and 11.6 million are owned by women. 2. Do I know enough about business, and am I inclined to make good business decisions? Sometimes someone is very good at what they do, so they decide strike out on their own. However, being proficient in doing a task is not the same as running a business. 3. Where are you going to get clients? Do you have a business plan that will allow you to make money? If you are too pricy you will have no business. If you don’t charge enough, you will go broke. How do you deal with the ups and downs of ownership? These are all huge factors in a business’s success. On Shark Tank, the CBS TV show, business ownership looks glamorous. What do you think? People should remember that the people on that show have already been marketing a product and are ahead of the curve. Most people who start a business will not be hawking something they invented. Rather they will focus on delivering something that was in the marketplace before they started their business. This is a more tried and true way to start in business.
SECURE ACT
What have you learned from owning Runestad Financial Services? When I started my business, I was undergirded by savings. I had saved enough money that I could go three years without any business before I would go broke. Frugality creates independence but it also can create opportunity. So, if you think you may want to own your own business someday, start with saving some money today. a

Italy “They just kind of amazed me,” she says. “(Michelangelo) just started with a block of stone and started chiseling away, and everything is so fine and life-like.”
by Jaclyn Youhana Garver
Donna Kaiser and her husband celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2018 by going on a Hawaiian cruise. It’s the 50th state they’ve visited. However, they’d never been to Europe, and Kaiser had wanted to go to Italy for her entire adult life. She wanted to visit the Vatican, and she was fascinated by the history. Then she learned that her church was going, so the two would be traveling with close friends. “My friend was saying to her husband, ‘Well, Tom will go if you’ll go,’ and I’m saying, ‘John will go if you go,’” said Kaiser. Well, that worked for Tom and John. Kaiser traveled with St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church to Rome, Florence, Siena and Assisi for 10 days in October 2019. “It’s the cradle of civilization,” she said. “It was just absolutely amazing to me that we were walking on ground around these monuments that were there 2,000-some years ago and even before the birth of Christ. It was pretty awe inspiring that we were there.” There are a million reasons to visit Italy, but for Kaiser, it was first and foremost a pilgrimage. St. Charles had set it up so its priest could lead 38

mass daily in a different basilica. Kaiser even gave one of the readings. True to her expectations, Kaiser cites the Vatican and seeing the pope as one of the trip’s highlights. She loved walking the grounds of the Coliseum and the Roman Forum, the plaza in the center of the ancient city that houses some of the city’s most important statues, buildings and monuments. She also enjoyed Assisi—its quaintness, its cobblestone walks and the hills. And, of course, there was the food. The shopping. The wineries. The museums. Like Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence, which is the home of Michelangelo’s David. What most surprised Kaiser about the museum wasn’t just David, but Michelangelo’s unfinished works on display: four male figures that, according to the museum’s website, “give the impression of being trapped in the block of marble in search of a way out of the stone.”
Perhaps one of the most surprising things about the trips was the driving: Roads are narrow, and Italian drivers are regularly rated Europe’s worst drivers in surveys. Kaiser’s group traveled in a large tour bus, and she often wondered if it would fit on certain streets, especially when cars would zip around the bus. “I just don’t think, for my first time in Europe, I could have ever gotten to all the places we went with the ease that we did,” she said. “It was definitely nice to be with that group.” a

glo-roscopes By Julie Young
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Empathy, ambivalence and nervousness are hallmarks of your sign and your taste in music reflects that. Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” will take you over the rainbow and into the fantasy realm where you will find that pot of gold in the end.
Donna Summer knows “She Works Hard for the Money,” and she doesn’t want you to throw it away on magic beans, a lucky rabbit’s foot or other charm that won’t bring you satisfaction. You are your own lucky star and we’d bet on you any day of the week.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Because you are always waiting for everyone else to catch up, you really do feel like Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.” However, before heading straight for the winner’s circle, you may want to make sure you have enough gas to stay in the race.
“All You Need is Love” to bring luck into your life, and thankfully, Libras have a magnetic personality that naturally attract others to them. No matter if you are looking for friendship or something more this month, there’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Taureans make their own luck, and when they play, they do it for keeps. Although they thrive in the competition, they want to come out on top in the end. That’s why Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” highlights your winner-take-all attitude.
Because you evoke an aura of magic, “Mysterious Ways” by U2 should be on your playlist this month as a way to bring a little luck of the Irish your way. Open yourself up a little to those who want to get to know you better. One may have a more permanent arrangement in mind.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
If you didn’t have bad luck, you wouldn’t have any luck at all. Thankfully though, you can’t keep a good woman down for long, and that’s why Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” is the perfect anthem for your flexible and resilient nature.
Never one to follow the trends, you like to “Go Your Own Way” and it usually pays off. You are the type of person who can find money in strange places, score a sweet freebie when you least expect it, and you have a knack for landing on your feet. “Don’t Stop” doing what you are doing.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
When misfortune strikes or a string of bad luck comes your way, it’s important to remember the words of REM: “Everybody Hurts.” Of course everybody also picks themselves up, dusts themselves off and starts all over again. Remember, good things are just around the corner.
They say if you have two good friends, you are lucky but if you have one good friend you are more than lucky. Although “Faithfully” by Journey may seem like little more than a sentimental love song, it screams of the kind of devotion you have to those you care about.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
You are a lady who is sure all that glitters is gold, but don’t buy that “Stairway to Heaven” just yet. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Your best bet is a solid, sensible investment that will reap reasonable rewards, not pie-in-the-sky promises.
For someone who tends to move to a different beat, your lucky song this month is just as unique as you are. While Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” lacks the riffs of traditional rock songs, it’s a safe bet that everyone loves it and will find themselves singing along. a
