Letter From The Publisher

Gratitude and Giving Back Dawa Sherpa

Publisher The Brighton Buzz

T

hanksgiving is a time of traditions, from watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to playing football in the backyard, and enjoying the company of friends and family you may not have seen in months. These traditions create a sense of continuity and comfort, connecting the past with the present.

Thanksgiving is also time of giving back – a reminder that it isn’t just about personal gratitude but also about spreading kindness and compassion. Consider volunteering at local shelter or food bank or join an event that provides meals for the less fortunate – acts that encourage us all to be mindful and reflect on the year that has passed. By acknowledging both the highs and lows, we can better appreciate our own journey.

As we gather around the table and share in the warmth of this holiday season, remember the importance of gratitude not just on this day but every day. Expressing appreciation for the people, experiences, and opportunities that enrich our lives can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life experience. So, this Thanksgiving, take a moment to give thanks and celebrate the abundance of our families and our communities.

And, don’t forget to celebrate the many fun and joyful events and traditions that our community has to offer:

6 The Brighton Buzz | November 2023

hanksgiving is upon us—I’m sure I’m not alone in asking “where has this year gone?!” It’s another reminder that time is fleeting and to pause for a moment to appreciate how very blessed and grateful I am for so many wonderful family members, friends, and clients. I would especially like to thank past and present clients who were instrumental in helping ensure another year of recognition as the top five percent of Denver area REALTORS,® for both me and Joni Pierce. It’s especially appreciated with the unpredictable and challenging market over the past year!

November is the month to recognize and thank all the men and women who have served, and those currently serving, our great country. It’s also the month to recognize and honor Native American heritage.

As we approach the holiday shopping and gifting season I would, once again, like to take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the importance of supporting our community of locally owned small businesses and artists. They are part of our “collective community”—friends, family, and neighbors. As I write this, I am reminded that community is a word with a depth of meaning beyond a place or a group. It’s also a way of “being with each other” by looking beyond the differences to seek out the common ground, finding the bridges that connect us with each other. Life is better when we look for the best in each other, and remember that together, we are a stronger, better, and more resilient community—one which I am thankful, grateful, and blessed to be a part of.

Our experience with Lindsy Keeler and Michael Dahl was great! They assisted us throughout the entire process and followed up on all aspects of the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house. They even pitched in packing and loading boxes for us.

They made the process easy and enjoyable.

They explained our options throughout the process and advised us as to the pros and cons of each option. I can’t thank them enough for what they did for us. They also were very friendly and amicable.

Reflecting Gratitude Offered by: Brighton Clinic of Chiropractic

T

his time of year, we celebrate our patients with Patient Appreciation Days. This has become an annual celebration in our office. It’s an opportunity to show gratitude and give back to our patients. We also unite with others in the community to give back to those in need, usually with a food drive of sorts.

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time of year. Some people wait for the New Year to evaluate their year, but I love this time to think about how I’ve been blessed. It’s so easy to get lost in the chaos of what’s going on around us that I feel it’s important to take some time to reflect. The colors around us are changing. The grass, trees and flowers are changing to get ready for another year.

What are you doing? I encourage you to take out a paper and pen (old technology I know) and at the top write THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR. This is a great exercise to do individually or with your family and friends. You can write down as many things you are grateful for and then review it everyday as a reminder or you can do a 30-day Challenge and write one new thing on the list each day that you are grateful for.

Either way, when you focus on the positive and good in your life watch how it opens you up to more of it.

We have been blessed by so many people and if we can help bless your life with your health challenges, schedule an appointment. Call us at: 303-993-6092. Have a blessed Autumn!

he famous sixteenth century Japanese swordsman Tsukahara Bokuden is said to have had a student who was famous for being incredibly skilled, faster than anyone else, and almost unbeatable in combat. One day this disciple was walking down the street and passed near a very unsettled horse, who, feeling his presence, bucked and tried to kick him. However, the young man was so quick to react that he avoided the kick in one swift move. Everyone who saw this was amazed and cheered for him. The disciple was very proud of himself, going to his master later that day to relate the story.

To his surprise, Bokuden was not happy, and expelled the student from his school. Bokuden’s sons asked their father why he had expelled such a great protege. He replied: “A man who cannot foresee danger ahead is a lost cause, no matter how skilled. I thought he was a man of better judgment but I was mistaken.”

From this story we see that Bokuden valued good judgment much higher than great skill, because great skill is actually a dangerous thing in the hands of a careless person. I am reminded of this when I’m driving down the highway and someone goes by me at 20 or 30 miles per hour faster than the speed limit weaving in and out of traffic. Their poor judgment is no match for their (questionable) driving skills, and many times with terrible consequences.

This is the main reason why a Martial Artist must first endeavor to perfect oneself as a person before attempting to perfect their technique. To be in control of one’s actions and emotions is a higher achievement than to overcome an opponent.

Our Karate students learn many strikes, kicks, blocks, takedowns, etc. But they know what matters most, as one of my students put it quite clearly just a few days ago as she was leaving class. I asked this ten year old: “Miss Susan, before you go, what can you improve on in the week ahead?” She turned to me and said: “Think before I act.” I stopped for a second to reflect and said: “I could not have said it better. You go and do just that.”

It was such a simple statement, but of very profound meaning. What if we carefully consider what we are about to say or do, even when we are under pressure? Even after we have been hurt or insulted, to respond in a truly thoughtful way. To consider the repercussions of our actions before taking them and do what is best, not just what feels good at the time. When we do that, this is the greatest victory one can achieve. A victory over self.

Medicare • Life Insurance • Long Term Care I do not offer every plan available in your area. Currently I represent 15 organizations which offer 89 products in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1–800–MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Program to get information on all your options.

ast month I went into some details on what changes you can make during the Annual Election Period, October 15 - December 7. If you have any questions about what you can or cannot do, please give me a call.

As a reminder, having the assistance from an insurance agent is a complimentary service to you. I love this about my career! I get to help people and not present a bill after.

Why is using an agent so great? An agent who has been working with Medicare Insurance for a number of years has been through hours of ANNUAL Medicare Certification or Recertification training. As agents we learn about plan details from the area representatives and become familiar with the ins and outs of the plans and benefits.

When you have an agent who is a broker helping you (like me), you’re able to compare the different insurance companies and see what company might have a good fit for you. Brokers don’t have a specific interest in only one insurance carrier so we are unbiased.

If you happen to get a telesales call, you’ll end up speaking to a sales person, likely in another state, who will talk fast and only go over the perks of the plan. He/She may not cover your medication costs or whether or not your physicians are in the network. The person might also not realize you get a regular injection/infusion that is covered by your Medicare Supplement without a copay but if you switch to the Medicare Advantage Plan you’ll end up with a 20% coinsurance payment with each injection. There are so many things to fully consider.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or your personal insurance agent whenever you have coverage questions. We are always happy to help.

Playing the Lottery: Risks vs. Rewards

Business retirement plans aren’t just for the “big guys” anymore...

What to do if You Get REALLY Lucky Presented by T. Lloyd Worth, Worth Wealth Management

The odds of winning the lottery are slim to none, but that doesn’t deter millions of Americans from spending, on average, about $70 billion a year on lottery tickets— approximately $230 per capita, including children.1 In 2022, players across the United States surpassed that average, spending more than $107.8 billion on lotteries, according to the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL). Florida led the country with $9.3 billion in sales, followed by California with sales of $8.9 billion.2 States benefit from lotteries, but do you?

Occasionally, someone wins big-time, but most people win nothing. The biggest lottery winners may be state governments.3 SmartAsset reported in late 2022 that 11 states received higher revenues from lottery tickets than they did from corporate taxes.

Negative returns on our own lottery “investments” aren’t much of an incentive but hearing stories about huge prizes and the occasional random winner nudges many of us to buy tickets and test our own luck—usually with little or no results. An example is the widely broadcast story in early 2023 about a formerly homeless woman who won $5 million with a scratch off ticket purchased at a California Walmart.

You may not win, but you can dream. The first step you should take after you buy your ticket is to sign the back. This will help prevent someone else from claiming to be the winner if you lose your ticket (and they find it) or it’s stolen—and then declared a winner.

If you’re lucky and win a lottery jackpot, take these precautions: • Consider making a tax-deductible gift to your library.

• Choose anonymity if your state allows it. If your name makes it into the news, you’re likely to be slammed with financial requests from charities, relatives, friends, potential scammers and more.

• Carefully handpick an attorney, certified public accountant, and investment advisor to work with you (and each other) to help you make legal and financial decisions that support your goals and work in your best interest.

• Before you cash in your ticket, consult with your accountant or tax professional to help you decide whether to take the prize money all at once, or stretch it out over 20-30 years in annuity payments. If you choose the lump-sum payment, the amount you receive will be lower than the aggregate of the annuity payments.

• Talk to your attorney to determine if you should consider placing your winnings in a trust or other estate-planning option.

• Pay off your debts, so you’ll be earning interest, instead of paying it. Invest prudently.

• Create a budget—and stick to it.

• Take steps to protect your assets from creditors, ex-spouses, disgruntled family members, and others who might be looking for excuses to sue you now that you’ve won the lottery.

• Avoid temptations, such as sudden lifestyle changes and purchases. Don’t suddenly quit your job or buy a mansion, for example. There have been a lot of “riches to rags” stories about lottery winners who went bankrupt.4 • Consider charitable giving options to offset your winnings.

• Review your estate plan and talk with your lawyer and financial advisor about any changes you may want to consider.

• Be cautious.

• Even if news organizations don’t reveal the names of lottery winners, their identities are often leaked by friends, family members, and neighbors who share their happy story. Be aware that your winnings could make you a target of scammers or others who want a share of your winnings. Be safe, be smart, and be prepared.

Getting together for Thanksgiving and Christmas can be very exciting and energizing and a time for relationships to be strengthened. At the same time, such gatherings can be stressful and anxiety inducing, especially for people with hearing loss. While the holiday season can be a joyous time full of fun, food and laughter, those with hearing loss often struggle with the noise and commotion that comes from family gatherings, parties, and noisy dinners.

Often, individuals with hearing loss avoid such occasions and stay away from important social activities. Two of the reasons for avoiding socializing include becoming tired and avoiding embarrassment and conflict.

Hearing loss is much more complicated that most people realize, since the final stage of hearing occurs in the brain, not the ears. The act of hearing requires energy and mental power. When an individual has hearing loss, more energy is required to achieve understanding than when a person has “normal hearing.”

Background noise increases the difficulty of hearing and increases how much energy a person uses to understand speech. In quiet environments, straining to hear causes mental and physical tiredness. Struggling to hear in noise causes even greater mental and physical fatigue.

Hearing in noise can be significantly improved with hearing aids. Wearing hearing aids has been proven to decrease “listening fatigue” in both quiet and noisy environments. Hearing aids increase the intensity of sound energy in the specific area a person needs help, decreasing the amount of mental energy needed to “figure out” what is being said. However, the longer a person waits to get hearing aids, the less effective the ability to hear in noise becomes due to the changes that occur in the brain over time.

Many people find ways to fake that they are hearing well, when in fact they are struggling. These tactics require significant energy. Mishearing can be embarrassing,

frustrating and lead to conflict. Teasing and pointing out mistakes in hearing can be mentally and emotionally detrimental. Recently, a patient frustratedly shared how contentious interacting with family members had become. When the patient misheard, family members would ask sarcastically, “Do you have your hearing aids in?” Then when they were told “yes,” they continued with “Well do you have batteries in them?” or “Are they turned on?” Comments like these are generally not helpful and cause tension and resentment, although in this case, it did lead to the patient seeking more help by getting better hearing aids.

Being patient and understanding can make social activities more pleasant for those with hearing loss. A few suggestions for improving the experience for those with hearing loss include: • Reaching out to a person with hearing loss before the activity begins and asking what would help them feel more comfortable; • Providing an area that is quiet outside of the main activity area that still feels like part of the gathering; • Speaking more slowly and distinctly, repeating and rephrasing when misunderstood rather than just speaking more loudly; • Seeking out those who are not actively participating in conversation; and • Giving others a chance to speak and share while listing intently to them.

If you would like more information on how to get help with hearing loss for you or a loved one, please contact us. Happy Thanksgiving from Blue Ribbon Hearing & Tinnitus Center!

Anxious and Worried about the Future?

Avoid Probate •

Offered by: Dolan & Associates, P.C.

P

sychology Today recently reported that 55% of Americans are worried, stressed, and angry. We are second only to Greece in the world rankings related to stress. The American Psychiatric Association reported that compared to last year, 39% of Americans are more anxious than they were last year related to their safety, finances, health, and politics. Many people are experiencing fear, worry, and anxiety over what to do, how to protect themselves, and what course of action to take in our chaotic world. How people are feeling about the world is very similar to what your family will experience upon your disability or death if you have not prepared an effective estate plan.

Your family won’t know what to expect when you become disabled, or upon your death. They won’t be prepared for what to do next, and what steps need to be taken to protect themselves. They will worry about what you would want them to do, and if they are taking the right steps and doing the right things.

Disability and death are emotionally charged events. Anxiety runs high and old conflicts and hurts resurface. When people fail to put proper planning in place this anxiety and emotion can become heated battles, and relationships are destroyed as they fight over what they should do, or what you would want them to do. As a result, family members may never speak to each other again.

Failing to plan also significantly increases the financial burden adding to the fear, worry and anxiety your family will face.

There are steps you can take to plan for your disability and death, which will greatly reduce the fear, worry, and anxiety for your family but you must invest the time, effort, and money to take those steps.

If you have questions about the estate planning process, I encourage you to educate yourself about the subject. If you would like to learn more, visit: www.EstatePlansThatWork.com to sign up for a complimentary educational workshop.

Coughs and Colds, and Flu…Oh My! Offered by: Mackenzie Reshew,C.P.N.P - Brighton Pediatrics

As

we enter into the fall and winter seasons, kids are back in school, and illness is again on the rise. This time of year, there tends to be a lot of respiratory viruses, or colds, going around. Respiratory viruses commonly cause cough, congestion, runny nose, fevers, sore throat, fatigue, and body aches.

There are several things you can do to help decrease risk of spreading these colds: • Frequent hand washing • Covering coughs and sneezes • Staying home when feeling sick • Avoid touching your face, mouth and nose • Minimize time around others who are sick • Make sure to clean toys and commonly touched surfaces like counters regularly • Receive recommended vaccines including annual flu and COVID boosters Despite best efforts colds tend to sneak in at some point or another, thankfully there are many things that can help alleviate uncomfortable symptoms at home.

Some supportive measures include: • Getting plenty of rest • Drinking clear fluids to stay hydrated • Humidifier or steamy showers • Warm tea and honey • Suctioning the nose of young children and babies Sometimes supportive measures are not enough and seeking medical care is necessary. Please seek medical care for your child if you notice any of the following: • Lethargy • Breathing changes or difficulty breathing • Dehydration or decreased urination • High fevers If you are otherwise unsure or uncomfortable with how your child is feeling or acting during an illness, please reach out to their primary care provider for advice or take them in to be evaluated.

Ten Facts About the Flu Vaccine Offered by: Premier Pediatrics Caroline Albert-Martin MD

W

ith the first cases of the flu (influenza) virus being reported in Colorado this season, it’s more important than ever to get the vaccine for you and your children. Read on for some quick facts about the vaccine.

1. The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone over the age of 6 months.

2

There are two options for the flu vaccine: the inactivated vaccine, given as a shot, or the live-attenuated vaccine, given as a nasal spray. These are considered equally effective. The nasal spray is approved for children over age 2.

3. This year, the flu vaccine covers four influenza strains: two influenza A and two influenza B strains.

Top: Ellen McCormick, M.D. | Michele Tuepker, M.D. | Debra Campbell, D.O. | Janine Lechleitner, CPNP Bottom: Jamie Campbell, M.D. | Joseph Smith, M.D. | Caroline Albert-Martin, M.D.

Serving children from birth to young adulthood in a variety of areas including general pediatrics, adolescent medicine, and child & adolescent behavior & development.

1606 Prairie Center Pkwy #300 Brighton, CO 80601 Our Satellite Office:

5. The flu vaccine is especially important for children under the age of 5 or with chronic health issues such as asthma, heart disease, or diabetes, as they are at higher risk for complications from the flu.

6. It is safe to receive the flu vaccine at the same time as other vaccines.

7. Children with egg allergies can receive the flu vaccine.

10569 Chambers Road #101 Commerce City, CO 80022

8. Children with COVID-19 can still get a flu vaccine after they have recovered from their illness.

www.premierpediatrics.us

10. Side effects from the flu vaccine include fever, fatigue, and redness or soreness at the site of injection.

Please follow us on Facebook @ Premier Pediatrics Colorado

303.655.1685

Our Main Office:

4. Children between 6 months and 8 years old who have never received the flu vaccine require two doses of the vaccine, given at least 4 weeks apart.

We Give Thanks To Our Wonderful Patients

9. The flu vaccine does not cause the flu.

Should Sellers Help Buyers with a Mortgage Buydown?

Offered by: Scott and Lora Nordby, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate

In

August 2023, the average 30-year mortgage interest rate hit its highest level since 2000. At 7.48%, they were nearly triple where they were during the pandemic when they reached a low of 2.65% in January 2021. Meanwhile, median home prices rose for 10 consecutive quarters beginning in fall 2020, only declining for two straight quarters to $416,100, which is still 26.4% higher than the quarter just before the pandemic.

The National Association of REALTORS® reported that existing home sales volume in July 2023 slipped 16.6% from the previous year, even as home prices rose to $406,700 from $399K a year ago. While many markets are still robust, others have slowed considerably. How can sellers bring more homebuyers to the table?

As a concession, the seller can offer to pay discount points to the homebuyer’s lender to help the homebuyer get a lower mortgage interest rate. Called a seller-paid mortgage rate buydown, these discount points are typically 1% of the homebuyer’s loan amount and every discount point paid reduces the mortgage interest rate by 0.25 percentage points. If the mortgage amount is $400K, a discount point would be $4,000, and the monthly principal and interest payment at 7.5% would be $2,797. A sellerpaid discount point would lower the interest rate to 7.25% and a monthly payment to $2,729. Over the life of the loan, the borrower would save $24,535.

Talk to your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate Forever AgentSM about seller-paid mortgage rate buydowns and see if they can benefit your transaction.

| November is lung cancer awareness month

While lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., early screening and detection can dramatically improve your options for treatment and odds of survival.

Intermountain Health uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and can quickly identify lung cancer even before symptoms begin. If diagnosed early, our team of cancer experts will select and start the most effective therapies while the disease is at its earliest state and easiest to treat.

To find out if you are at high risk for developing lung cancer, take our online quiz.
