As I sit down to write this letter, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. The past year has been filled with challenges, perspective, and so many blessings. When I started the journey of launching this publication last October, I never imagined that the very same day I signed the papers, my dad would be diagnosed with cancer. It’s something you hear about often, but nothing prepares you for its becoming part of your own family’s story.
Just a week later, my dad underwent surgery. In the months that followed, while I was working to gather partners and bring this magazine to life, my family and I were also walking alongside him in his recovery. There to help us through this process was Hope Cancer Resources, and I am so incredibly thankful to share that today he is cancer-free. Their work is remarkable, and having experienced it firsthand makes it especially meaningful to tell their story in this issue.
This journey has reminded me how much life’s challenges can put things in perspective. When my family gathers around the dinner table this year, I know we’ll have so much more to be thankful for than the “usual” things we tend to list off.
I am grateful for my health, my family, my dad, my friends, my partners, and for the opportunity to do a job I love—telling this community’s stories.
In this issue, I’m honored to share some of those that reflect the heart of our community—tales of family, resilience, and compassion. From individuals building legacies across generations to organizations supporting others through life’s hardest challenges, these stories celebrate the courage, care, and hope that make our city a stronger, more connected community.
As always, thank you for allowing me to share these stories with you. It’s a privilege to celebrate the people and organizations that make Northwest Arkansas such a special place to call home.
With gratitude,

Oscar Wilde once wrote, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
In many ways, life can feel like that gutter –full of hardship and struggle, whether we face it ourselves or walk beside loved ones as they do. It is an uphill battle.
Perhaps the most devastating of all experiences in the modern world is a bad diagnosis. Our bodies, equipped as they are to help us survive, sometimes turn against us. How can this happen?
Taking time to consider this question can make anyone feel fragile. And for those of us who have experienced firsthand the devastation of a bad diagnosis, or the loss of a friend or family member to cancer, that fragility feels all the more consuming.
Hope Cancer Resources places itself right in the middle of this struggle.
But they make a point to direct our gaze at the stars. As quick as it can be to get lost in the fragility of our circumstances, the preeminence of the human soul does amazing things when it looks not at the long way down the hill, but at the journey to the summit.
In a world of wannabe Luke Skywalkers, Chuck Hyde – President and CEO of Hope Cancer Resources – insisted that the real Luke Skywalkers are the people his team serves

(likening his team with the role of Yoda as he did). In other words, our hardships can empower us, and Hope Cancer Resources makes it their mission to show that the darkest of nights only makes the stars more visible.
“There is hope, and we want to make that accessible,” Chuck said. “We are here for the hard days, the healing days, and every day in between.”
Hope Cancer Resources recognizes that every cancer story is unique. Because of this, their services are tailored to the individual to meet their specific circumstances and needs.
At Hope Cancer Resources, all services are provided at no cost to the patient; these include transportation, counseling, support groups, and personal training.
According to Jamie Dietrich, Vice President of Development and Marketing for Hope Cancer Resources, their fleet of nine vans travel somewhere between thirty and thirty-three thousand miles a month to get patients to their appointments.
“We’re grateful for every single person that we get to help,” Jamie said. “2026 will have a heavy focus on awareness and sharing our mission so more people can know what we’re doing and where we’re going.”
Last month, on October 2, they hosted a Wellness Lab: Breast Cancer. This was a free event designed to educate people in the community on preventative care and to promote breast cancer awareness.
Chuck stated his gratitude for the team’s ability and readiness to help their patients.
“I’m very thankful we’ve got professionals who are highly competent, high character, and highly motivated to help people,” Chuck said. “Everyone needs to know someone who knows about Hope Cancer Resources.”
The season of Thanksgiving reminds us that there is always something to be thankful for. This thankfulness is available for all of us, no matter how difficult the circumstances of our lives.
In difficult times, it can be easy to forget about all the things we have to be thankful for and even easier to lose hope in the future. That’s why we need places like Hope Cancer Resources. They remind us that hope is most powerful when it’s most unexpected.

The Harp family’s story of service, sacrifice, and strength across generations
ARTICLE BY BO SIMPSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY MADDY MOSER
To many of us in the South and Midwest, the red, white, and blue logo of Shelter Insurance represents a symbol of familiarity. For those of us insured elsewhere – or not insured at all – that’s all it is: a recognizable sign that blends with all
“To many of us in the South and Midwest, the red, white, and blue logo of Shelter Insurance represents a symbol of familiarity.”
the other symbols, signs, and logos that make up the world around us.
Rarely do we stop to consider the stories that make such symbols significant to other people. And yet, things change as time goes on, making change, ironically, one of the most consistent things we experience. The result is that the things most familiar to us become more and more noticeable. Their persistence sets them apart in a world of never-ending changes, making what was once background noise an outlier that can’t be ignored.
Shelter Insurance is the perfect example of this, an emblem of the power of familiarity.
And as the world becomes more automated, people like Steve Harp take it upon themselves to stay authentic, not sacrificing the quality of their care for the quantity of convenience.
Steve Harp started his professional career as a Springdale policeman. He did this for six or seven years, taking to the streets as a patrol officer.
In 1981, an opportunity came to Steve through the district manager of MFA Mutual Insurance Company. He refused the offer because he greatly enjoyed his work at the local police department.
Later that year, however, his perspective was bound to change. After a three-day manhunt brought in officers from across Northwest Arkansas, which began with the death of an officer and another being injured, his convictions led him to reconsider. Seeing the ways in which the lives of people close to them were affected, he did not feel he could continue for the sake of his family.
He was thinking especially of his newborn son, named Justin.
“… as the world becomes more automated, people like Steve Harp take it upon themselves to stay authentic, not sacrificing the quality of their care for the quantity of convenience.”
Taking all of this into account, he put away the badge, reconnecting with the district manager at MFA to take the job. Shortly after, MFA Mutual Insurance Company changed its name to Shelter Insurance. This change signaled a new beginning for the company and the Harp family alike, establishing what would become a legacy for both.
Steve quickly found success as an insurance agent. In 1983, he was invited to Munich, Germany, for an award trip attended by the top 10% of agents. He was named rookie of the year.
Steve accredits his success to the importance of loyalty. If you treat people right, they stay with you. One of his go-to sayings is, “Price is only an issue if value is absent.”
As Justin grew up, he began to show interest in following his father into the insurance business. But before that, he was a baseball player. In 1998, the Springdale Bulldogs won the state championship in baseball with Justin Harp at first base. He went on to play baseball for Labette Junior College in Kansas.
After completing his bachelor’s degree from the University of Arkansas, Justin joined his father at Shelter Insurance.
Inside Steve Harp’s Shelter Insurance office in Springdale, the walls are lined with plaques from awards the father-and-son duo received in their two decades working together. There’s something to be said for the strength of relationships built on helping others.
The beauty of such relationships is that their impact isn’t confined to those directly involved – it radiates outward, reaching everyone around them. Which makes the loss of someone at the heart of such a relationship all the more devastating.
In 2022, Justin became ill.
Steve had intended to hand over the business to his son. When Justin passed the following year, the loss was almost unbearable. The Harp family wasn’t sure how to go on.
Up until that point, Hunter Bewley – Steve’s grandson and Justin’s nephew – had planned on attending medical school to become a doctor. After his uncle passed, he had a change of heart.
Hunter went to his grandfather, explaining that he wanted to fill his uncle’s shoes and help with the business instead. Steve remembers the encounter well, expressing that his initial reaction was one of hesitation.
“He always wanted to be a doctor,” Steve said. “But he’s very smart, and we decided to hire him – within a month, he knew more than I did.”
Steve and Hunter have since become a team of their own, a duo reflecting past years of a father-and-son operation. Steve noted that the business will become Hunter’s when he decides to retire, a fulfillment of his original desire to hand it over to Justin.
In acknowledging how central family is to their business, Steve and Hunter make it their mission to extend this loyalty to their clients. A small way they do this is by handwriting birthday cards.
“Together with his grandson, Steve Harp shows our community that love is capable of transforming familiarity into something special, and a business into one big family, through all of life’s hardships.”
“We send about ten-to-twelve birthday cards a day, and I handwrite them all,” Steve said. “I think it’s a personal touch that people don’t see much anymore.”
Steve also highlighted the importance of having a local insurance agent. As the world becomes increasingly computerized, there is a risk of losing the connection that takes place when sitting down with one another, shaking each other’s hand, and looking each other in the eye.
There is assurance, too, in knowing the person on the other side of a phone call, or at least knowing that it is a person, rather than an artificial voice.
“I think it’s better to have a local agent,” Steve concluded. “It doesn’t have to be us, but we sure want it to be.”
The quality of care – understanding personal needs (for not everyone needs the same coverage, Steve reminded me), being present with clients in their darkest hours, and seeing clients for who they are as individuals – make the difference between life insurance, and what Steve calls “love insurance.”
Together with his grandson, Steve Harp shows our community that love is capable of transforming familiarity into something special, and a business into one big family, through all of life’s hardships.

Hosting Tip: “Ask for help from the right people. Some people aren’t going to be comfortable making bread rolls or a dessert, but maybe they’re great at making salad. Others can be asked to bring drinks or clean afterward. Nobody is a mind-reader—don’t be afraid to set up a spreadsheet where they can sign up!”
Ingredients
• 10 carrots
• ½ cup fresh dill
• 3 sprigs of thyme
Directions
• 1 cup labneh
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 400° F
2. Wash, peel, and prep your carrots. If carrots are skinny, you can peel them and place them onto a cookie sheet. If the carrots are thicker in diameter you can cut them lengthwise into halves.
3. Drizzle honey and olive oil over carrots on baking sheet. Use your hands to make sure the carrots are properly coated on all sides.
4. Add salt and pepper
5. Bake in the oven at 400° F for about 25-30 minutes
6. Take them out of the oven and set aside
7. On a large serving plate add about a cup (or more) of labneh. My favorite is called Luretik.
8. Add your carrots then freshly chopped dill and thyme to the top
9. Drizzle a good olive oil over the whole thing
Ingredients
• 3 honeynut squash
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper
• smoked paprika
• pomegranates
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400° F
2. Slice the squashes in half, remove all the seeds
3. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast for 30 minutes
4. Add smoked paprika and pomegranates to serve
Hosting tip: “It’s all in the way you present it to kids…when you ask your kids to join, try not to make it sound like a punishment. Emphasize that they have a responsibility prepping really yummy food. Include a special drink for the kids while they’re helping, like spiced apple cider. Adjust your expectations to allow for extra mess, extra time, and know it won’t turn out exactly as if you had done it yourself. But the tradeoff of creating happy memories is 100% worth it.”
Cooking tip:
“I don’t peel my potatoes because who really has time for that? The secret to this recipe: baking soda. The baking soda makes the water alkaline which helps break down the surface of the potatoes, making them very crispy and very delicious.”
Ingredients
• 10 small yellow gold potatoes
• 1/2 tablespoon baking soda
• olive oil
• salt
• rosemary, garlic, chives (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400° F
2. In a large Dutch oven, bring water, baking soda, and salt to a boil. Place unpeeled potatoes into the water and reduce the heat to medium-low. Once the potatoes are soft to touch (20-25 min), drain and let sit for 10 minutes.
3. On a cutting board, grab a potato and use any large object (wine bottle, glass jar) and smash down the potato. Do this gently and have a spatula close by to transfer to a baking dish. Once you have smashed all the potatoes, add salt and olive oil.
4. Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes or until crispy
5. Top with the garlic, rosemary, and fresh chives
“A Thanksgiving Meal: The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing. Remember to keep the meal simple so you will have time to cherish your love ones and the blessings that come with.”

• 1-1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1-1⁄3 cup water
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup unsalted or salted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2. In a springform pan, add parchment paper and butter the sides
3. Place crust into the pan and pat down to form a smooth base
4. Set in the fridge and chill for 15 minutes

3. Turn the heat off and let sit for 5 minutes
4. Remove cheesecake from the fridge and add the caramel to the top
The Skin Clinic is a full-care aesthetics clinic and partner with Springdale City Lifestyle. Hannah Lewis, DNP, FNPC, and Autumn Fidler, RN, have teamed up with Rowan Anderson, their medical esthetician, to bring the best in medical aesthetics to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. From their historic downtown location, Hannah Lewis took time to answer some questions about what makes The Skin Clinic thankful in this season of Thanksgiving.
WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU’RE ESPECIALLY THANKFUL FOR IN YOUR WORK AT THE CLINIC?
Without a doubt, my team. Autumn, our nurse injector, and Rowan, our medical esthetician, are the life of the Clinic. Their value extends beyond their professionalism and their talent - they have created a culture of supportiveness, joy, and integrity that embodies our mission at The Skin Clinic. We haven’t been together for a full year yet, but they’re already more family than employees.
OUTSIDE OF THE CLINIC, WHAT’S SOMETHING IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE THAT YOU’RE ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL FOR?
In a world that often feels dark, I’m especially grateful to have the opportunity to raise two little boys to be strong, courageous men of God. My sons are the biggest blessing I’ve ever been given in this life and being their mama is a privilege beyond my wildest dreams.
WHAT’S ONE “THANKFUL HABIT” PEOPLE COULD ADD TO THEIR DAILY ROUTINE THAT’S GOOD FOR BOTH THEIR SKIN AND THEIR MINDSET?
Take a few moments to care for your skin morning and night! It’s a great opportunity to practice gratitude while also preventing premature aging and many other skin issues. In the morning: cleanse, vitamin C, and sunscreen. In the evening: cleanse, retinol, moisturizer. Of course it can be much more tailored and detailed, but just these simple steps will make you look and feel great. Your skin will thank me later!
WHAT DO YOU APPRECIATE MOST ABOUT YOUR TEAM AND THE WAY YOU ALL WORK TOGETHER?
We all have young children, and we all understand that family comes first. Whenever one of us has a sick child or a family issue, there’s never any doubt that the rest of the team will pull together and fill in. It’s just a part of our culture. We love our work, but there’s nothing more important than family.
IN THE SPIRIT OF THANKFULNESS, WHAT’S YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT IN THEIR SKIN?
Invest in a skincare routine. There are a million products out there, and so many are marketed well but lack the clinical studies and robust ingredients that make medical-grade skincare stand out. Our team at The Skin Clinic has over a hundred hours of training on skincare products, and we offer free consultations so you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Schedule a free consultation either virtually or in person, and we’ll curate a perfect plan for your skin, goals, schedule, and budget.
THANKSGIVING IS ALL ABOUT COMFORT FOOD — DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE DISH YOU LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY YEAR?
Rolls. I’m like a toddler, I eat a few bites of turkey to justify eating three rolls. There are no rules on Thanksgiving!
“The team at The Skin Clinic has over a hundred hours of training on skincare products and we offer free consultations, so you don’t have to figure it out on your own.”
The holidays have a way of calling us back to what matters most—faith, family, compassion, and the quiet but powerful act of giving. As lights go up and calendars fill, there are still many who sit in silence, carrying burdens too heavy to bear alone. But what if this season, you could be the spark that changes everything for someone else?
The founders of City Lifestyle, through their private foundation, are once again launching its annual Christmas Giving Campaign—a heartfelt effort to seek out and support individuals and families who have quietly fallen through the cracks. The mission is simple: to bring light, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.
Since its beginning just four years ago, this initiative has grown from a humble idea into a life-changing movement. Last Christmas alone, more than 200 families across the country received unexpected support—financial relief, but also something even more powerful.
“We don’t just send checks,” says Steven Schowengerdt, CEO and founder of City Lifestyle. “We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”
Together with City Lifestyle President Matthew Perry, Steven has helped shape this into a tradition that goes far beyond charity. “This is about community,” Matthew adds. “We believe we’ve been blessed, so now we get to be a blessing.”
Every story begins with a nomination. Often, it’s a neighbor, coworker, friend, or teacher—someone who’s been quietly carrying too much for too long. One past recipient, after receiving unexpected support during a time of deep personal struggle, wrote:
SCAN TO NOMINATE
“We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”
“Beyond the very practical solution of receiving funds to fix my car, this thing you guys worked together to do is bigger than that. I carry the Christmas card you sent in my purse. When things get really hard, I pull it out and remember what it felt like to be seen. That card represents hope— that change for the better is possible. I’m not sure how many people get to carry hope around in their purse. But I do.”
Another wrote in after her husband was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and unable to work:
“This support has blessed our family not only financially, but emotionally and spiritually as we trust God to meet our needs throughout this difficult time. Thank you to our anonymous friend and to your foundation. What a joy and gift to be part of God’s family!”
Each year brings countless stories like these—real lives touched by simple acts of kindness. Some use the funds to pay overdue bills, others to afford groceries, medication, or repairs. But no matter the circumstance, the impact is the same: hope is restored.
This season, you have the opportunity to be part of that. The campaign is now open to nominations—completely confidential and prayerfully considered. Whether it’s someone battling illness, facing unemployment, or just in need of a helping hand, you can bring them a moment of grace that will ripple far beyond Christmas morning.
“Knowing my mom was chosen filled my heart with indescribable joy,” said another past recipient. “Your generosity doesn’t just brighten her life; it inspires hope and faith in all of us. It enables her to stay in her home and get back on her feet.”
Nominations are open from November 1st to December 5th, 2025. To submit someone you know, simply scan the QR code or visit @CityLifestyle on Instagram, where you’ll find the nomination form in the bio.
This holiday season, let’s give more than gifts. Let’s give each other the gift of being seen. Because sometimes, the smallest gesture becomes someone’s greatest miracle.
