Thankful
In this season of giving thanks, we often find ourselves reflecting on the many blessings in our lives. The true spirit of Thanksgiving encourages the conscious expression of gratitude. Its focus is spending time with those you love and encourages giving back in meaningful ways. While ambition, competition and slaying goals can be very healthy, forgetting to place importance on being present, enjoying the ride and appreciating those who've helped us along in our journey, can leave us missing out on what truly matters. It's hard to feel content if we only look outside ourselves, and at our possessions or titles, to determine if we're fulfilled.
True contentment comes from within and from fulfilling who we were made to be.
Our November edition is dedicated to stories of gathering, gratefulness and giving back to our community. We're very thankful for the residents and businesses in our community who support so many wonderful organizations and help make our vibrant community what it is.
We're especially thankful for our advertising partners who help bring this magazine to your homes each month. They're part of our vision and purpose of providing inspiring stories and good community news directly to you.
As we prepare to gather with our loved ones this holiday season, in the true spirit of thanksgiving, let’s set time aside to consider what truly makes life meaningful and stop to reflect on those blessings.

HAIMAN HOGUE PROFESSIONALS HELP OTHERS PRESERVE ESTATES, PROTECT INVESTMENTS
Estate Planning Much Appreciated
ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCY THORNTON
Estate planning can be complex; it also provides opportunities for empowerment and peace of mind.
As a family protection planning and elder law firm, professionals at Frisco-headquartered Haiman Hogue, PLLC, say their foundational belief is to “faithfully serve God, clients and community” in legal projects they handle.
“Our focus is to use our unique God-given talents and abilities to help and serve others,” says founding partner Fred Haiman.
“We treat our clients with dignity and respect while ensuring they’re in full control of their money and assets,” adds founding partner Rex Hogue.
This legal assistance spans wills, trusts, trust administration, college planning, probate, guardianship, special needs, powers of attorney, deeds, business planning and asset protection, with services tailored to each client’s unique needs.
“There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all estate planning,” says Susan Barnett, Haiman Hogue estate planning and elder law attorney.
Estate planning is the process of making arrangements for how assets and affairs will be handled if one becomes incapacitated or passes on. This planning is important because it helps ensure assets go to the intended beneficiaries, reduces family strife and avoids expensive and time-consuming court proceedings.
This law team assists clients with defining and understanding necessary steps for estate planning. For example, the probate of someone’s estate is a court-supervised process used when a person passes on with or without a will. Trust administration is a more private process, and is used when a decedent has a trust.
Asset protection planning involves making current prudent decisions to protect oneself, business, and hard-earned assets from loss due to lawsuits, creditors or bankruptcies.
Sometimes, a guardianship is needed, which allows a person or entity to make decisions for an adult who can no longer take care of himself/herself due to mental or physical disability or incapacity.
Sheila Williamson, Haiman Hogue director of community services, says the team offers free educational events each year, regarding topics such as ‘Does a Trust Make Sense in Texas?’ and ‘Estate Planning 101.’ They also participate in community resource fairs.
They have done webinars on these topics: Trusts Including Special Needs; Guardianship In Texas; Strategies For Mediating and Avoiding Family Fights; Blended Families: A Brady Bunch Nightmare; Addiction In The Family/How It Affects Care and Planning; My Loved One Just Passed…Now What; Elder Abuse and Adult Protective Services; and Preparing For Cognitive Incapacity.
“And we’re always willing to provide a guest speaker for professional organizations and civic groups,” Sheila adds.
She says she and her colleagues truly live out their faith, offering complimentary phone consultations to potential clients, because “we believe it shouldn’t cost people something just to find out if we can help them.”
Meals on Wheels is one nonprofit initiative supported by the Haiman Hogue staff. Sheila says it’s the combination of checking on homebound residents and bringing them nutrition that is most inspiring. “This cause fits perfectly for the way we do business.”
Additional charitable groups that Haiman Hogue professionals have sponsored or actively are participating in include Grace To Change; Latter House Décor; Lift R & R; Treasured Vessels; Melody of Hope; Camp Craig Allen; Alzheimer’s Association; McKinney Repertory Theatre; Frisco Family Services; Prosper Education Foundation; The Fairhill School; and 29 Acres.
In addition to its headquarters within the Comstock Building, 5300 Town and Country Blvd., Suite 200, the firm also has locations in Arlington, Sherman and Gainesville.

Helping Generations of Texas Families Protect Their Money and Preserve Their Estate
ESTATE PLANNING (WILLS & TRUSTS)
Our attorneys create customized estate plans based on your family structure, life plans, goals, values, principles, and vision. There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all estate planning.
PROBATE
The probate process helps to ensure that your deceased loved one’s estate is distributed according to their wishes. Mourning the loss of a loved one is difficult, and the thought of dealing with legal issues and piles of paperwork can make you feel overwhelmed.
GUARDIANSHIP & SPECIAL NEEDS
Appointing a guardian is necessary when a person can no longer make or communicate safe or sound decisions about his/her person and/or property or has become susceptible to fraud or undue influence. A special needs trust allows a person with a disability to have money put aside for their care.
TRUST ADMINISTRATION
Trust administration includes settling any debts, paying taxes, transferring property titles and other administrative tasks that must be handled to close out or settle the estate of the decedent.
ASSET PROTECTION
Asset protection planning involves making prudent decisions today to protect yourself, your business, and your hard-earned assets from loss due to lawsuits, creditors or bankruptcies.
BUSINESS PLANNING
An effective business plan is not only a roadmap that outlines your goals, strategies, and potential hurdles, but also helps protect your business from death, divorce, or disability by preparing in advance.
In Celina, Texas, there is a place where the charm of history meets the sophistication of modern luxury. It’s a haven where golf isn’t just a game; it’s a celebration of opulence. And guess what?

Different dishes can transport a reader to new regions of the world, reveal a character’s culture, or symbolically deepen the meaning of a text.

THE PERFECT FALL TREAT
ACORN DONUT HOLES
ARTICLE BY MADELINE LEBLANC
As the vibrant colors of summer slowly yield to the warm and earthy hues of autumn, there’s a distinct charm in the air at the arrival of fall. It’s a season filled with the crisp rustling of leaves, cozy sweaters, and the promise of pumpkin-spiced everything. What better way to embrace the changing seasons than by indulging in a delightful treat that captures the essence of both summer’s sweetness and fall’s rich flavors?
My recipe for “Acorn Donut Holes” combines the light, airy sweetness of summer donuts with the warm, comforting tones of fall. Grab your ingredients and let’s get started!
Ingredients:
• Donut holes
• Melting chocolates
• Fall sprinkles
• Pretzels
Instructions:
1. Pour your fall sprinkles into a small bowl for dipping. Lay wax paper down.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the melting chocolates in the microwave, about 15-20 seconds. Carefully watch to ensure they don’t burn.
3. Dip the top of each donut hole into the melted chocolate, covering about halfway down the donut.
4. After dipping, immediately dip the chocolate-covered portion of the donut hole into the bowl of sprinkles, coating it with the fall sprinkles.
5. Insert a pretzel into the top of the “acorn” to create the acorn stem.
6. Carefully place the decorated acorn donut holes on the wax paper to let them cool and allow the chocolate to set.
7. Once the chocolate has hardened, your acorn donut holes are ready to enjoy!
These delightful treats are perfect for fall and make for a fun and tasty dessert or snack. Enjoy!
