A Season of Reflection and Gratitude
As summer bleeds into fall and we feel the shift in our lives with shorter days and cooler weather, I always secretly love this time of year. In this season we are called to slow down and focus a bit more on gratitude, even though I believe this should be a daily practice, it is always heartwarming to me nonetheless. We take a cue from the autumn leaves, letting go of what is completed and giving thanks for the multitude of things we cher ish, many of which cannot be measured monetarily.
As a community, this year has tested us, brought us together, and let us witness the power of faith. We were called to stand united, to support our first responders, our neighbors and our friends and to lift up our community. How powerful it is to remember we are all more alike than different and to acknowledge the weight that kindness carries.
When I think of gratitude, I am thankful for the many blessings that are irreplaceable in my life: family that loves me, friends that see me, a little dog that lights up my days, the opportunity and honor to share the voices of our community, and even a season of refinement, however much I may have not enjoyed some of the growth, I appreciate where It brought me.
As you read through this month's features sharing the history of incredible spaces surrounding us, places where people's passions are highlighted and given a home, and the courage of our first responders and firemen, I pray it offers you a doorway to lean into your own gratitude, to be present with those you love more, and allows you to continue to see the best in yourself and those around you.

ARTICLE BY ADRIANA KARAGOZIAN
As autumn’s crisp winds signal the season of gratitude, Loveland’s community gathers around their dining tables, pausing to reflect on the people who protect, serve, and give us a reason to feel safe. Among those we owe thanks to, Loveland’s firefighters, led by Fire Chief Tim Sendelbach,

stand at the forefront—guardians of not only our homes but of our collective sense of security.
For Sendelbach, firefighting isn’t just a job; it’s a way of life, rooted deeply in his upbringing. “I’m second-generation,” he explains, recalling his father, who rose to fire chief in his local volunteer department. “This is all I’ve ever done.” He talks about the sacrifices that come with the role, how it wore on his family—his mother and two older sisters, who had to adjust to the demands of a lifestyle that often called him away from home at a moment’s notice.
This deep-seated sense of duty has followed Sendelbach throughout his career and found its greatest test in Loveland’s recent Alexander Mountain Fire. “9,668 acres burned. Twenty-nine homes were lost, and four more were severely damaged. It was a battle,” he recalls. But even amid the devastation, one truth emerged—community solidarity.
In the face of this harrowing blaze, it was Loveland’s firefighters, many of whom live in the same neighborhoods they protect, who stepped forward. “You know, it’s our neighbors, our friends, our families,” Sendelbach says. “To someone on the outside, it’s just fuel burning, but to us, it’s memories, irreplaceable ones.” He shares the story of Battalion Chief Kevin Hessler, who was first on the scene and is remembered for his poignant statement that became a rallying cry: “It started here, and it’s going to end here.”
The Alexander Mountain Fire wasn’t just a test of firefighting tactics; it was a trial of emotional endurance. Firefighters worked in the most extreme conditions—treacherous terrain, thick smoke, the ever-present risk of injury—rotating through 12-hour shifts, pushing themselves to the brink, both physically and mentally. The decision to engage in the fire was challenged by outside resources unfamiliar with

Loveland’s landscape, but it was the local knowledge and steadfastness of the LFRA that prevailed. As Chief Sendelbach puts it, “We were ready to go it alone if we had to, and that’s not something you say lightly.”
At the heart of LFRA’s mission are their core values: Commitment, Compassion, and Courage—the 3Cs engraved on every piece of apparatus and stitched into the very fabric of their culture. These values weren’t just words during the Alexander Mountain fire; they were lived truths. Firefighters, exhausted from days of relentless work, found solace and strength in each other. “The kitchen table is where it all comes together,” says Sendelbach. “Just like a family, we sit down, crack jokes, and check in with each other.”
This camaraderie, this brotherhood and sisterhood, was on full display during the fire. Even when it seemed the flames might consume the entire mountain, Loveland’s firefighters held fast,

never wavering in their determination to save what they could. Incredibly, despite the initial assessment predicting far worse destruction, over 150 homes were spared from the fire’s grip.
In moments like these, the community’s appreciation for their firefighters becomes palpable. “I can’t eat lunch at a restaurant without someone tapping me on the shoulder to say thank you,” Sendelbach says with pride. Loveland is a place that recognizes the sacrifice of its fire department, and that gratitude has never been more apparent than during and after the Alexander Mountain Fire. Yet, as with any profession, challenges remain. “We need more than what we started with,” Sendelbach acknowledges, reflecting on the rising costs of equipment and the ever-growing demands of a community that continues to expand.
For the men and women of LFRA, service to the community goes beyond fighting fires. It’s about protecting the place they call home and ensuring that future generations can do the same. As Chief Sendelbach so movingly puts it, “This community is special. I’m not here to fix a problem, but to build upon the solid foundation that already exists.”
In the quiet reflection of this Thanksgiving season, Loveland has much to be thankful for. Through the courage of its firefighters, the leadership of its fire chief, and the resilience of its community, the flames of the Alexander Mountain Fire were extinguished. And though scars remain, they serve as a testament to a truth Loveland knows well: it’s not just about where the fire started—it’s about the strength of those who came together to ensure it ended here, with them.

Faith in Better Days
How to Help Hawke on His Path to Healing
A stunning Paint Horse named Hawke at one time frolicked with his buddy, Bo on the beautiful grounds of Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch. Then the Alexander Mountain Fire hit. As the fires spread, Hawke and Bo were both evacuated. Tragically, the horse trailer collapsed during their journey causing significant injuries to both horses. Bo unfortunately passed from his injuries.
Hawke is doing well, but is facing a long road to recovery. He is now at Heartsong Equine Center and while his spirits are low, the love and care he is receiving is unmatched. Heartsong is donating rehabilitation services for Hawke, however, material costs for his injuries are significant.
To support Hawke on his healing journey email HeartSong at heartsongpastures@ gmail.com. We will have more about this in our next issue.

CREATED THIS STORE TO EMPOWER THE LITTLE GUY AND UPLIFT INDIVIDUALS WITHIN OUR OWN COMMUNITIES."
Promenade Shops at Centerra, offers a variety of exceptional handcrafted jewelry, home decor, unique gifts, and so much more. But what separates them from other shops is that all of the merchandise sold at Hometown Shops is sourced from local small businesses. A flourishing local artisan collective, Hometown Shops was one of the first shops to offer a beautifully curated space for local businesses to showcase and sell their merchandise. They now sell products from more than 20 small businesses, primarily from Northern Colorado. From handmade soaps, coffee, personalized hats, clothing, and more, Hometown Shops prides itself in supporting artisans from our local hometowns for the purpose of giving back and building up our community.
Owner of Hometown Shops, Tara Chavarria, founded her shop in 2021 after spending years in the multi-vendor business. Following the challenges of the pandemic, she recognized a
and small businesses that faced severe difficulties when the pandemic hit.
“Many people that I worked with lost their physical spaces and had to cancel markets. They did not qualify for unemployment benefits the same way as others and were even required to repay them. This situation troubled me deeply,” Chavarria explains. “I felt a strong urge to create a positive impact, no matter how small. Thus, I launched Hometown Shops, driven by the desire to make a difference in someone's life.”
Brimming with a style and flair that only she can exude, Chavarria’s passion for her shop, the local artisans she works with, and her customers’ overall experience is palpable. This shop is her life’s dream come to fruition and you can feel it as soon as you walk through the door.
“I love everything about running my store! I'm truly grateful for the chance to represent businesses in Colorado. I started this journey with minimal
resources, but through hard work, dedication, and the support of our wonderful small businesses and customers, we continue to thrive every day.”
And not only does the store thrive, but the small businesses that she collaborates with thrive as a result, which is one of Chavarria’s foremost motivators. She recounts a story of approaching a woman-owned jewelry business before she opened her shop. Initially, the woman doubted her ability to sell enough to maintain a space at the shop. However, today she stands as one of their top sellers.
“Sometimes, all it takes is for someone to believe in us! I find daily motivation in the small businesses and customers who make this store a reality,” she says.
Described as an Etsy store come to life, Hometown Shops is brimming with oneof-a-kind gifts that you won’t easily find in large retail stores. Some of Chavarria’s current favorite items include cozy sweatshirts, Swedish dishcloths, flannels, burned hats, handmade soap inspired by nature, unique mugs and cups, and the list keeps growing. And as winter approaches, the store has definitely entered its cozy phase.
“I love anything cozy! And I absolutely adore the beauty of fall and winter! My favorite time is snuggling up in our personalized sweatshirts from Cozy Pop, paired with a delightful mug from Summer Newton.”
But aside from the beautiful and one-of-a-kind merchandise, what truly shines about Hometown Shops and

differentiates them from any other store is the love, gratitude and support of the local artisan community. The care that is poured into the merchandise, as well as the selection and curation, gives the shop a unique vibe and glow unlike any other.
“The small businesses pour immense love and dedication into their craft. Throughout my journey, I've come to realize that these are the ones we should wholeheartedly support. There is something truly beautiful about the effort that small businesses invest. I created this store to empower the little guy and uplift individuals within our own communities.”
Chavarria goes on, “Success is embodied by Hometown Shops. We can measure the countless hours of hard work, dedication, and passion that have gone into this store. Each night as I close up and reflect, that profound feeling in my soul defines what success truly means.”

Brown Sugar Maple Cookie Pie
The Perfect Thanksgiving Pie ingredients:
• 1 round pie crust
• 1 egg, beaten, for brushing
• Vanilla sugar or coarse sugar, for sprinkling
• 4 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 – 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
• Flaky sea salt
VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
directions:
Step 1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Step 2. Fit the pie crust into an 8-inch pie plate. Brush the edges of the crust with beaten egg, then sprinkle with vanilla sugar (or coarse sugar). Lightly prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. Freeze 10 minutes.
Step 3. Add butter to a small saucepan set over medium heat, cook until the butter begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Let cool.
Step 4. Whisk together the brown sugar and 2 eggs, and 1 egg yolk until well combined. Add the maple syrup and cream. Whisk in the brown butter and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the crust.
Step 5. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the pie is puffed on top, but still wiggly in the center. The longer you bake, the more set your pie will be. Remove from the oven and let cool 20-30 minutes, then serve the pie warm, sprinkled with sea salt (if desired), and dolloped with whipped cream.
STANDING THE TEST OF TIME

There are some places we find that still hold magic. Almost as if they are untouched by the fast pace of the rest of the world, suspended in time, offering a sense of peace and calm that feels somehow like home. Spaces like this allow us the opportunity to be present, to catch our breath, and to slow down long enough to listen to our hearts, reconnecting us to what matters.
Woven neatly into the foothills of West Loveland lies such a place, Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch. A place that has become dear to so many as a strong and steady heartbeat honoring the Western way of life within our surrounding communities.
Originally beginning as a cattle ranch in the early 1900s, the land was later transitioned to a boys and girls camp. It is during this time that a young Maurice Jessup came to work during college. Falling in love with the land and the heart of Sylvan Dale, Maurice made a declaration that one day he would own it. Maurice then returned home to Kansas, finished school and began his very first teaching job. It is at this job that he met a young secretary named Mayme. As they began dreaming and planning a life together, he shared his love of Sylvan Dale with her. Together they began envisioning what that land could become and started researching the property, its history, and the surrounding areas. And then 11 years later, the opportunity to purchase Sylvan Dale presented itself, as though it was always meant to be theirs.
It was with vision and tenacity that the Jessups saw what this land could offer people. Built on a foundation of tradition and integrity, their philosophy is “Don’t worry about what you don’t have, just know where you’re going and start going there.” One step, one action, and one move at a time is how they built their life, proving that dreams are possible, but you must be willing to do the hard work and be consistent.
THE RICH HISTORY OF LEGACY, TRADITION, & CONNECTION AT SYLVAN DALE GUEST RANCH
A picture of Susan's family in the early days of the ranch hung above the fireplace at the ranch
The legacy the Jessup family has created ripples further and wider than even they know. Mayme’s cookbook “Sugar & Spice” graces tables across the country, letting her love of baking spread to the homes and hearts of others. “We call her the heart in the heart J brand because our brand is a heart with a J in the middle of it and the heart is the love of the land and the J is our last name and so we called her the heart in the heart J brand,” shares owner, Susan. Her heart and the love for this place welcomes everyone that spends time on the ranch.
Growing up on the ranch has instilled in owner Susan Jessup a great sense of service and a joy in taking care of others. “I think that has been a big impact on my life and the interaction with our guests is so uplifting and it lets you know it is all worth it—all the challenges that we face, you know why do we keep going? Well, because this place means so much to so many people, how could you not keep going?” she shares.
For Susan and the staff, it is rewarding to see people at the end of their stay. People come in on a Sunday and they don’t know each other and by Saturday morning they are hugging and crying because they have become so close; the friendships and bonds that are built here span generations. There is a peace at Sylvan Dale that connects people in a way unlike anything else. It’s in the history of the land and the layers and layers of memories shared here. People can feel that when they are here, they connect with the land, with the river, with the horses, and with one another. So often in our current world, authentic connection is lost, and now more than ever, people need the grounding that It offers us.
Welcoming celebrations of all kinds, Sylvan Dale is also open to the public for holiday packages, allowing visitors to unwind and be more present with one another. The spirit and ties to the land are not something that is ever lost on Susan. She finds the most peace when she can get on a horse and ride, spend time with her chickens, or walk Clint the Donkey. The Western way of life is the heart of the ranch, and they have been sharing that and pouring love back into this land for 78 years, and God willing, they will be here for 78 more. In true cowboy fashion, we will leave you with the code of the west, shared with us by Susan Jessup. We hope that this will inspire you to disconnect, live with integrity and remember that the best things in life aren’t for sale.

1. Live each day with courage
2. Take pride in your work
