I love that it is just for women! I was first attracted to it on a visit to Fort Wayne and saw the bright, beautiful feminine cover art, along with the name. glo is a very positive word, and the fact that it brings to mind fireflies, one of my fave bugs, doesn’t hurt, either. I’m not from Fort Wayne, we live an hour away, and I always look for the latest issue of glo when we visit.

“All About Gratitude” ISSUE
November 2020 | Vol. 11 No. 8
From the executive editor November?!?! How can it be November already? On the one hand, January seems like 5 years ago, and on the other, it’s hard to believe 2021 is just around the corner. Throughout this year, our goal has been to help small businesses in our community survive the economic hardships and continue to grow. As you embark on your holiday shopping, please remember that shopping local is an investment in someone’s dream and in your community. In case you need any more convincing, here are some reasons to shop local this holiday season and beyond: 1- Keep money local- Sales taxes fund our communities and provide vital services, such as fire protection, street repairs and trash collection. 2- Local investment- Local businesses are less susceptible to national downturns and more likely to work harder to stay open. 3- Locally made products- Local business owners often sell local products, which helps preserve the community’s distinction and creates more jobs locally, as well. 4- Discover interesting things and people- One-of-a-kind shops and restaurants are part of what makes our city a great place to live. 5- Diverse products — Local stores carry inventory you won’t find at national chain stores.

HOLIDAY FASHION TRENDS
By Haiden Hibbert

While this year probably didn’t play out as you expected, there’s one thing the pandemic can’t stop us from embracing — and that’s holiday fashion. All your favorite looks from seasons past are making a return this year, as well as a few unexpected trends (mini-skirts, anyone?). From cozy sweaters and leggings to faux fur coats and fun patterns, it’s all about comfort and style — especially since the holidays may consist of smaller group gatherings and staying home this year. We’ve consulted the local experts to help round up this season’s hottest trends so you can show up to your next holiday gathering or get-together with style (and safety) in mind.
TOPS
Top Trends: Oversized Sweaters, Cropped Sweaters, Button-up Cardigans, Plaid Coats, Leather Jackets, Patterned Jackets, Pastels Fortunately, comfort will still play a huge role in fashion trends this winter. Oversized sweaters are back and bigger than ever, but you’ll also notice many knit tops are cropped this season. While this may seem like it limits your outfit options, cropped sweaters aren’t for showing more skin in the winter. In fact, they allow for experimentation with high waisted pants, midi skirts, and even layering with jumpsuits.
Susan’s Fashion
You can also count on your favorite shops stocking up on cozy cardigans. The most popular look will be casual cardis with large buttons—many in neutral shades of off white, black and brown, but you’ll notice some in fun colors like burnt orange and mustard yellow. As for outerwear, there are a few trends in coats that are coming back — and that’s plaid, leather and fun patterns. While these two may not keep you warm in a polar vortex, you can find options to layer over sweaters or dresses for the milder winter nights.

Don’t forget about colors! Black and red are going to dominate boutiques this season, from blouses to jackets to pants. But you’ll also notice pastel options sprinkled in the mix, so embrace the chance to wear springtime colors midwinter.

| NOVEMBER GLO 2020 |
BOTTOMS
Bottoms Trends: Leather, boyfriend jeans, animal print, mini skirts Susan’s celebrates 25 years with a shutterstock.com
As for bottoms, you can take your pick between cute and casual or edgy and chic. The biggest fashion trends we’ll see this holiday season are animal print, boyfriend jeans, leather and mini skirts — which offers tons of options depending on what kind of plans you have for the season. When it comes to jeans, you can dress them up with a nice sweater and heels. And for leather bottoms—that means everything from skirts to pants to leggings and even jumpsuits. The thick material will keep you warm, so be sure to plan accordingly. For a fun, bold look, embrace the returning trend of animal print, especially cheetah. And lastly, mini skirts are showing up full force this December, which may or may not be a good thing. You can pair them with cropped or big sweaters and tights with any kind of boot for a chic, yet comfortable look.

MASKS AND SKIN CARE By Emily LaRue
Wearing a mask is one of the best ways we have right now for preventing the spread of Covid-19. And while good for our health, masks are often not the best thing for the delicate skin on our faces. For some people, masks are causing (or exacerbating) acne. Dermatologists call this type of acne “acne mechanica” and it’s caused by repetitive physical trauma to the skin. It’s no coincidence “maskne” (mask + acne) has made its way into the dictionary.
What Causes “Maskne”? Mask wearing can wreak havoc on the skin through a combination of two factors. First, friction from the mask rubbing against the skin can cause irritation. Secondly masks can trap sweat and oil, which can lead to breakouts. But prevention and treatment are possible.
Girl, Wash Your Face Obviously, prevention of acne before it starts is the ideal solution. Pharmacist Gregg Russell of Fort Wayne Custom Rx said people should wash their faces with a gentle cleanser before and after wearing a mask. He added that taking care to avoid sugary, processed foods also helps in prevention.
Moisturize Moisturize immediately after washing your face and after removing your mask. Moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and Dimethicone can be helpful. Petroleum jelly is good for protecting the lips (but not the rest of the skin).

| NOVEMBER GLO 2020 |
IS YOUR EYE DOCTOR USING THIS? Get the Right Mask Make sure the mask fits properly and covers both the mouth and nose. It should be snug but breathable since too tight masks can trap oils and sweat. Adjustable masks are a good option since they can help reduce chafing. However, masks containing a bendable piece over the nose (to stop glasses from fogging up) can cause chafing and dry skin because there’s often no fabric to protect the nose. A good solution is to wear cotton fabrics — not synthetic — that are washed often (daily if possible) to help remove oils from the mask. People sensitive to certain detergents and softeners should wash with unscented laundry products to reduce irritation. And Russell recommended against re-wearing a disposable mask.

Since no one will be seeing the lower part of your face, consider forgoing makeup altogether. Or alter your makeup routine and just apply makeup from the eyes up. If still wearing makeup on the lower part of the face, make sure it’s noncomedogenic or oil-free. Also, now is not the time to try new products, especially exfoliants like retinoid or chemical peels. And even some products you’ve used for a while may irritate the skin now, especially if they’re harsher products like a salicylic acid.

ELLEN CUTTER 12
| NOVEMBER GLO 2020 |
By Lauren Caggiano
It takes a village to make our community better, and Ellen Cutter is certainly someone you want in your village. The wife, mother of three, and economic development leader has made waves in the decades she has called Fort Wayne home. Her love affair with the city began upon her first visit here. Her husband was entertaining a job and possible relocation, and they were left with a favorable impression of the area and all that it has to offer. The rest is history, as they say. “We saw the potential of Fort Wayne and how the community’s leadership really got it,” she said. “And they were doing the right things to advance the community. So that was enough for us to take the leap and move here. Fort Wayne has exceeded all our expectations. We absolutely love it here.” Cutter is no doubt taking center stage herself in the city’s transformation, as Greater Fort Wayne Inc.’s vice president of economic development. “The thing that I love the most is getting to play a role and turning possibilities into reality,” she said. “And working with really talented people, community members and neighbors. It’s really a privilege. I mean, we have fun, but it’s hard work. But at the end of the day, it’s about building a community that benefits everyone. That’s what motivates me.” For instance, she’s enjoyed seeing the development of the parks system and the riverfront — and is excited about what’s to come. The same goes for the proliferation in public art in our region, which Cutter attributes to the community becoming more open and inclusive. And her hard work has paid off. Cutter was honored with the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives’ (ACCE) “40 Under 40” list for 2019. The award honors the best and brightest young professionals in the chamber industry. Cutter — who was nominated by her boss John Urbahns — said it represents a milestone for her professionally.
It’s what we are It’s all we do
It’s how better hearing happens
In her words, “it was a nice capstone. I think in taking into account what I’ve done so far in my career, it really caused me to think a lot about what I hope to accomplish in the next 20 years.” Speaking of accomplishments, her wins are not limited to her workplace. Cutter carves out time for volunteerism, serving on the board for the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and is a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Williams Woodland Park Neighborhood Association and American Planning Association. Whether professional or personal pursuits, Cutter said there’s someone in particular who deserves credit for cheering her on. Her husband, Weston, has been instrumental in shaping her trajectory.

“He has really helped me to build a network of support, so that my family can be my number one focus,” she said. “And because I’m supported by a network that helps me balance everything, I can show up and bring my A game in my job, as well.

Some might question opening a business in the midst of a pandemic, but that would not be Brendon Maxwell. In July, he and his co-founder opened Landing Beer Co. on The Landing in downtown Fort Wayne, after many months of planning and construction. The Landing is a $32.2 million development project located on Columbia Street, featuring multiple businesses and residential offerings. The Landing Beer Co. specializes in craft beer and barbeque.

“We were so far in, it didn’t make sense to put things on hold,” Maxwell said. “And I tend to be an optimist.” In speaking with Maxwell, you get a sense that everything about the new business, as well as his first business, Utopian Coffee, and possibly his life, in general, is far from random. It’s all strategic. “We want to facilitate a space people are excited to check out,” Maxwell said. “A place that connects people. Our café is designed to be welcoming, a place where people can meet or maybe start businesses. Landing Beer Co. has the same heart as Utopian Coffee.”

Utopian’s mission: coffee roasters focused on high-impact social projects throughout the world. “My real heart and passion are overseas, and that’s really how it began,” he said. Maxwell, 37, caught the travel bug at age 16 when he visited his older brother Jack, who was living in Europe. Fast forward to 2006, when Maxwell and his cousin co-founded Utopian Coffee.

Thanks to technology, they work closely as partners with farmers around the world. “These are not typical vendor relationships,” he said. “We share their stories and highlight the products they’ve labored over.” Their coffee bags have farmers’ photos on them, and they continue to expand their farmer partnerships. In addition to converting cocaine farms to coffee in Columbia, they partnered with an allfemale coffee co-op in Guatemala last year to support women’s land ownership.

For Utopian Coffee, it’s all about fairness. “In most places, farmers were being underpaid,” he said. “We’re paying them up to three times what they were getting paid.” The pandemic hasn’t been all easy for Maxwell. “I’ve had to cancel trips to Columbia three times,” he explained. “My favorite part of the job is to grab a backpack and meet our farmers, getting to know them and their families.” He was recently on a podcast, pre-Covid, and was asked to give advice for those questioning the next step. “There is so much to it. . .” Maxwell said. In the end, it boiled down to this: “Book the flight, because once the flight is booked, you’re committed. Just go for it. This analogy is transcendent to other work, but basically you have to make a bold decision that makes it tough to go back. There are risks and potential downsides but it’s worth it.”

Giving Thanks & Giving Back By Deborah C. Gerbers
photos: shutterstock.com
Whew… 2020 has been quite the year: a global pandemic, civil unrest and protests, tumultuous politics, and a general feeling of anxiety and unease. Being present, mindful and appreciative of all things positive can be helpful in changing our mindset to being more grateful for things we might overlook. With Thanksgiving around the corner, it is also a good time to not only reflect on what we are thankful for, but also to give more of ourselves to better the lives of others who may not be as fortunate.
Spend some time with family and friends. Surrounding yourself with loved ones can brighten your mood and help us remember we are not alone! If possible, set up a socially distant coffee date with a friend, phone or video chat with a relative, grab some takeout for a home date for you and your spouse while the kids watch a movie, or meet up with an acquaintance for a kids’ playdate/ moms’ visit. Being around others and socializing is important for our human nature. It reminds us that we are surrounded by people who love us and are going through many of the same things we are.
Do some good and give back. Look for easy ways to help out locally
Daily reflection can be a great way to start the day. Try waking up a little earlier than usual to give yourself some time for a quiet cup of coffee, maybe some journaling, and peaceful prayer or meditation. Being mindful of the positives in your life can be helpful at a time when many things seem overwhelming and uncertain. Choose a favorite spot like a comfy chair, quiet home office or den, or under a warm blanket on the front porch where you won’t be disturbed should any little ones arise early and interrupt. All it takes is 20 minutes or so to gather your thoughts, be aware and grateful for life’s goodness, and get your thoughts on paper so you can revisit later. 18

this Thanksgiving season. It can be helpful to keep in mind those in need as a way to be grateful for what we have. Consider sorting through closets and donating winter gear to Coats for Kids; your space will be weeded out and you’ll be helping clothe kids this winter. Look into Toys for Tots, as well, and give toys to be given to less fortunate children during the holidays. Get your kids involved too—encourage them to see how other kids can benefit from our kindness, and they’re likely to have fun picking out toys for gifts. Also check with your church or school for giving trees and adopt a family to buy much needed clothing, shoes and household goods for during this time. Nursing homes and hospitals have visiting restrictions due to COVID-19, but it’s worth it to check with the staff about window visits and making our elders smile with maybe some hand drawn pictures and bright, happy faces. Thanksgiving is the time to be present, thankful, grateful and generous. Take time to remember your own blessings and goodness in your life and look for ways to give back that love and generosity to others in need. a

Fiona Sherman is 6 years old and is in first grade. When she’s not reading, Fiona enjoys playing at the park, swimming and doing puzzles. She also loves telling good jokes. Fiona showed up prepared for our interview with a big stack of books to talk about – this only scratches the surface of our conversation!
What are some of the books you’re reading right now? “Super Hero High School Yearbook! (DC Super Hero Girls)” by Shea Fontana. It has all the superheroes – each page has different heroes and describes where they got their powers, what their weapons are, and their favorite food and clothes. It’s like the yearbook for Superhero High. There are comic books that go with them. (My brother) has pjs with a cape, and Wonder Woman has no cape, so I wanted to see which girl superheroes have capes.

FEATURE | On Her Nightstand
On Her Nightstand “Shark Lady” by Jess Keating is one of my favorite books. It has a timeline and all different kinds of sharks. It’s a true story about Eugenie Clark. Shark Lady visited an aquarium when she was 9 and discovered she loved sharks. Then she went to the beach and dove under water in the ocean. She didn’t see any sharks when she was little. She dove, this time into books, books about sharks, and her mom surprised her with an aquarium of her own – she got fish and snails. And then she went to school and then she studied, and she got her degree and this time she dove finally into the deep ocean and she discovered new species that had not been discovered before. And then she never forgot people think sharks are mindless killers. She was determined to prove everyone wrong. So, she trained a shark to press a button with its nose to get a fish. They could remember their training for at least two months. As a family we’re reading “The Phantom Tollbooth” by Norton Juster. The whole book is plays on words—read that if you like plays on words. The smelling bee. The senses taker instead of the census taker. The whether man instead of the weatherman. The “Magic Tree House” series by Mary Pope Osborne is one we read together, but I’m ahead of my mom – I’m excited for her to catch up with me. Jack and Annie and Morgan are the main characters. In every book, the Magic Tree House whisks them to the place where they wish to visit. In this book, they’re in Pompeii right as the volcano erupts. They went to the Titanic when it sinks. They’ve seen dinosaurs, castles, mummies, pirates and more. (Fiona’s mom: “She’s learned so much about history through these books.”) a

A great reason to be thankful this month?
Screening mammography is an exam for women who have no symptoms of breast cancer and is still one of the best ways to successfully treat breast cancer by detecting it early. Take an active role in your breast health: learn the risk factors, conduct breast self-exams, and be vigilant about scheduling an annual early detection screening.

FEATURE | Finance
Women & Wealth
By Lauren Caggiano
This isn’t your grandmother’s or even mother’s world when it comes to finances. Today, women are more financially independent than ever, and therefore, they need to be intentional in planning their financial futures. Kate Miller, a senior trust officer with STAR Bank, said it’s helpful to look at the mistakes made by previous generations objectively, learn from them and be proactive. “In past generations, the men in the family were the ones to work and manage the personal household,” she explained. “We’ve found in wealth management that, unfortunately, men also normally die before their spouses do. And so, you get in this situation where you’ve been helping the two of them together. Then when the husband passes away, the wife doesn’t understand anything about their financial picture, even what bills they have to pay.” These frustrations are only compounded by grief for the surviving partner. This painful truth is why Miller advises that couples talk about finances early and often in the relationship. Though these conversations can be uncomfortable at times, they’re important so that nothing is left to chance. But not all women marry in 2020 and if they do, it’s often later than their predecessors. Miller said these trends definitely inform a woman’s approach to money. For example, when entering marriage, it’s not uncommon for a woman to have a credit history established, including assets and liabilities. In previous generations, it wasn’t as common for a woman to own her money matters. But according to Miller, the earlier you can establish and maintain financial history and health, the better. “I think that high school is the time where all people should be learning the basics like how to balance a checkbook, monitor spending, etc.,” she said. “It’s so important for everyone to develop those types of skills early in life.” As Miller suggests, it’s a lifelong quest to maintain a healthy relationship with one’s finances. Her advice? Check in when you hit certain milestones and evaluate your progress and goals. “I always think of it in terms of life events,” she said. “So, you get your first job, you buy your first house, you get married, and you have a child. These all should trigger discussions that should be taking place with an investment advisor or a CPA.”

Expert help can ensure you’re making the best decisions for your situation. In her words, “the more you know what you’re getting into at this stage of your life, the more prepared you can be for what lies inevitably down the road.” Also, keep in mind that financial independence isn’t just about how much money you have in the bank. It’s also about having the confidence to make your own decisions and plan for the future. Female or male, single or married, we all need to be in the driver’s seat in our financial journey. But women especially need to take the reins. By doing so, we can each be part of the push for equality and inclusion—for ourselves and for future generations. a

De-stressing with healing arts By Barb Sieminski
Creative hobbies like teaching art and music, dancing, taking up a new activity, binge-watching Breaking Bad or Gilmore Girls, zip-lining, bird-gazing, etc. exercise the psyche as much as a physical workout does to eliminate the rigors of stress. Too much stress can lead to body aches; inability to concentrate; getting sick more often; irritability; and being angrier than usual. Focusing on these creative gains can put one into a sunnier, healthier mood, ready to tackle the stress of everyday living again.
Cooking is Nora Hernandez’s option for stress remedy after detailing at a noisy car wash all day. In addition to finding peace in the kitchen, another plus comes when she picks up her 12-year-old daughter Jocy Garcia from school for some quality mom-daughter time. The two enjoy the rich bonding this affords.
Some revitalizing benefits of these de-stressors include sleeping better, weight control, getting sick less often, less muscle tension, being in a better mood, and getting along better with family and friends. Speaking from personal experience, both music, art (one of my college majors) and also gardening have helped me de-stress greatly, even though teaching private music lessons and riding lessons are in themselves de-stressors from the frequent deadlines I’m under. Playing my instrument, sketching in my drawing pad or even reading a magazine helps me escape. And in warm sunshine, I try to leave my computer for a joyful day of fishing. One reader wrote in our daily newspaper her unique idea of dealing with the traumatic pandemic: “I work in a business where personal
Maureen Wilder, L.P.N.
“I love hearing what Jocy’s day has been like after a day in school or after piano lessons or tae-kwondo class,” said Hernandez. “It gives me a valuable insight to what is going on in her life.” Let’s not forget, too, the tremendous benefits domesticated animals can bring to make our world right again, especially now when interaction with people is less frequent.
Nora Hernandez contact is important but now have to work completely remotely and wonder if there are any creative ways to work in person? I have solved this by building an outdoor gazebo and am setting it up with fabric panels, a heater and soft lighting so my coaching & therapy clients have the option even in winter to see me in person.” Maureen Wilder, L.P.N., one of my former retired riding students, uses her horse to escape an overload of mind-numbing medical decisions. She both rides and drives her mini-Belgian, Red, who is “very sweet, rides English, Western, drives, and is trail-trained. Riding last year was excellent therapy for my range of motion,” said Wilder, who is now disabled and still spends quality time with Red. “My main reason for buying Red two years ago was to have a reason to get out of bed even when it is so hard to function with chronic pain.”

Music of all genres is Faith Hilty’s go-to for stress release. An Environmental Services Tech at Fort Wayne Rehabilitation Hospital, Hilty has worked there for two years after being in food service approximately 25 years, and says, “My favorite is probably country; can’t pick out one artist in particular. I love so many of them. It’s just very soothing and calms me down tremendously.”
Jocy Garcia, after a grueling day of study, opts for either reading or for taking her new 2-year-old American Eskimo, Poppy, for a playful walk in the park. Finally, we all have an option: Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace. a

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and while 2020 has been a year like no other, now is the perfect time to engage in thankfulness activities with your kids. Here’s why. Studies show that thankfulness can have a huge positive impact on physical health. Gratitude also reduces stress, improves sleep and increases self-esteem— something we all want for our children…and ourselves! Thankfulness, like many positive qualities we want to instill in our children, is more caught than taught. You can’t teach your children to be thankful if you aren’t thankful yourself. In order to serve up a heaping, healthy dose of gratitude for everyone this Thanksgiving, here are five activities each member of the family can enjoy.
1
GIVE EVERYONE A THANKFUL JOURNAL This journal can be as simple as a few pages stapled together or as expensive as a leather-bound journal purchased from a stationary store. The main idea is to journal about all that you are thankful for. Small children can draw pictures, while older kids and parents can write longer entries. Pass out the journals the first of November, encourage everyone to make at least two entries per week, and then read your favorite entries on Thanksgiving Day.
2
MAKE A “THANKFUL TURKEY” CRAFT
Trace everyone’s hand on colorful construction paper. Then decorate the turkey face and then have family members write one thing they are thankful for on each feather. Be sure to write names and dates on the back of the turkeys and bring them out in a few years to remind everyone what was “gratitude worthy” this year.

PLAY THE GRATITUDE GAME
All you need to play this game is a timer and a small stuffed animal you can pass from player to player. Give the first player the stuffed animal. That player has five seconds to share something he or she is thankful for before passing the stuffed toy to the person to the left, who in turn shares something, and so on. The key is to make it all the way around the circle as many times as possible without repeating or pausing between players.
CREATE A THANKFUL JAR
The week before Thanksgiving, leave out a jar or basket with a notepad and pens. Throughout the week, encourage people to write a brief note or draw a picture of something they appreciate and put it in the jar. Have the kids read the items on Thanksgiving Day.
5
ENGAGE IN ACTS OF SERVICE AS A FAMILY
Make cookies for someone who has blessed your family, donate used clothes or toys to the local shelter, or write letters to service members overseas. Typically, the more you seek to bless others, the more thankful you are for the blessings in your own life. It’s a great perspective—and a lesson that won’t be lost on even the smallest members of the family. a | NOVEMBER GLO 2020 |

St. Ignace/Mackinac Island GLO GOES | Travel
MICHIGAN by Jaclyn Youhana Garver
Traveling during 2020, like doing anything this year, is a game of weighing the pros and cons. One con: There’s an airborne virus resulting in a global pandemic, and all recommendations point to “stay away from crowds.” One pro: 2020 is bonkers, and the year is rubbing that madness off on the rest of us. Physical health … mental health … physical health … mental health … In August, my husband and I took a trip to Michigan. We opted for an Airbnb, partly to minimize face-to-face contact with others and partly because of its strict coronavirus cleanliness policy. We had just two criteria: 1) We wanted a city on or near a lake. 2) We wanted the space for a full week. We found an adorable spot in St. Ignace, Michigan, on the southern tip of the Upper Peninsula, which was an added bonus: We’d never been to the U.P.! Turns out, St. Ignace (say IGG-niss) isn’t quite the kind of city we select for vacations. It has plenty of spots for hiking, ice cream and white fish, but be aware of what it’s not: The beaches are rock, not sand, and it lacks some of the basic travel to-dos I expect from even a low-key trip like this: No spot to get breakfast all day (it stopped serving at 11 a.m.), no sports bar to watch a late basketball game (it closed at 10 p.m.), no all-day coffee shop to dip in and sit with a laptop or book (it closed at 2 p.m., and there’s a church in the back). The city’s main drag is dotted with businesses, a percentage of which seem to have closed long before the pandemic. Those that are still open are a little run down, though a few have a beautiful view of the lake. Unfortunately, those few didn’t always make sense; from our Airbnb, for example, we could look across the street and see Lake Huron. We could also see the Ace Hardware, which was actually on the lake. Does a hardware store need to be lakeside? However, it’s affordable, and it’s a good home base if you don’t mind traveling to other spots during your vacation. For example, head back over the bridge to Mackinaw City to visit Headlands International Dark Sky Park, which boasts out-of-this-world starry nights. Or hop one of the two ferry lines to Mackinac Island, due east of St. Ignace. After the 20-minute boat ride, you’ll be deposited in a bright town with a New England vibe. Get off the bustling main drag, and the island is largely wooded with more than 70 miles of hiking trails, according to the island’s tourism bureau. And those trails are fit for anyone: Prefer a wide, paved trail where you might run across a horse-drawn carriage (and there are a lot—vehicles aren’t allowed on Mackinac Island)? Would you rather get more in-the-woods, with fewer horses but some bikes? Or maybe you’re more of an off-road gal, and you like the trails that look like no one has stepped foot on them for years? Check, check and check. If you make it to a highpoint, you’ll be greeted with a view of Lake Huron that can only be described as tropical. Seriously, I had no idea a Great Lake could look like that. a 30

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
After standing in the shadows of others, it’s time to take center stage. Does that mean hosting the Thanksgiving feast? Maybe, but have no fear – there will be plenty of help to make sure you shine on the big day. More importantly, you’ll show others what you can do!
You will make decisions this month that will affect the direction your life will take. These choices will force you to make significant lifestyle changes that will not always be easy, but commitments require sacrifice. Make plans cautiously and prepare for adjustments.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
All of your trials and tribulations come to a head this month culminating in a dizzying 48 hours, but there will be satisfying results and at long last, you will be able to get a good night’s sleep. After some rest, consider a vacation to recuperate from the struggle.
Do not be distracted by those naysays who want to thwart your plans. You’ve had your eye on a specific project for a while now and you’ve finally decided to act on it. Don’t look back, but ahead. Your lucky streak is just beginning provided you plan carefully and do not wager more than you can afford to lose.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
A new project will force you to prioritize your life a little and that’s not a bad thing! Put the trivial aside for a while and concentrate on the big picture. When the green light flashes, you’ll need to put all of your time and energy into it. Rest up while you can.
While most people dream of returning home for the holidays, you can’t wait to travel and explore new places and traditions. Take a group of friends with you and be thankful for the company. Luckily, you are a people magnet and have no shortage of people to choose from. The more the merrier!
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
You will make decisions that will affect the direction of your life this month, so be confident in your views and beliefs before choosing. All that glitters is not gold, and you could be easily led astray. A trusted friend could provide valuable insight when your judgment is cloudy.
Although you are normally social and hospitable, this month it is important to let others take care of you. Your energy level will not be where it usually is and that’s OK. You’ve been going through a lot. Even a star needs to rely on an understudy from time to time.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
When troubles arise at the beginning of the month, do not break down. This too will pass. The road to success often has many obstacles, but the outcome is worth it. Know when to cut your losses and when to stay the course.
Don’t wait until the New Year to make resolutions. Now is the perfect time to set goals and make decisions that will influence you into 2021. Listen to your intuition about an investment and trust that it will guide you will. It always has in the past.
Aries (March 21 - April 19) Plans that have been hanging in the balance will come to fruition this month. You may be worried about getting everything accomplished, but have no fear, you’ve got it all under control. There will be a sense of pride in your achievements that will be felt by extended family members who helped you along the way. 34
| NOVEMBER GLO 2020 |
Libra (September 23 - October 22) A door full of opportunities is waiting for you this month, so which one will you choose. It’s a good problem to have Libra. Your persistence has paid off and now it is time to reap the fruits of your labors. The new endeavor will be challenging, but you rise to the occasion. a
