How would you want your life celebrated?
Whether you’re a traditionalist or a person who marches to the beat of a different drum, your life’s celebration can be planned exactly as you wish. It can include special touches, large or small, to reflect your personality, passions and memorable times. Maybe it’s a special meal, the reading of a favorite poem, or flowers you’ve always loved. From location to music to food and special mementos—the choices and details are up to you. It’s important to remember that a memorial service is the celebration of a lifetime and should be a fitting reflection of the individual. Many people don’t realize that there are endless possibilities when planning a funeral or memorial service. A thoughtful, well-planned final event can provide friends and family a meaningful and memorable opportunity to gather and celebrate all the things that make you, you.

Small Business
These statistics point to the size and scope of the small business community nationally and statewide. To continue an upward trajectory, accessing support is more important now than ever. Financial institutions are one resource and means to take one’s enterprise to the next level. According to Carol Tester, a relationship manager at STAR Financial Bank, banks and credit unions can provide resources on treasury management, as well as connect them to other organizations that can help them achieve goals. Sometimes helping a small business owner calls for revisiting the fundamentals. “I always talk to my customers to see if they have a current business plan in place,” she said. “Maybe it’s not working out. It might be time to review it, rewrite it, and make some changes so that they’ll have a better plan for the future.” That’s just one of many ways a personal banker can add value. He or she acts as a relationship manager and serves as a trusted resource to help direct them to whatever resource or product makes the most sense. They typically handle customer issues and questions related to accounts, investment offerings, and loans.
By Lauren Caggiano In her words, “there so many so many different services available that can help our small busiSmall businesses are the lifeblood of the U.S. economy: they create two-thirds of net new jobs nesses and make banking more convenient than and drive U.S. innovation and competitiveness. In fact, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA), it used to be.” they account for 44 percent of U.S. economic activity. There are 30.7 million small businesses in the U.S., which account for 99.9 percent of all U.S. businesses. Today more than 500,000 small businesses across Along with convenience, banks can provide a lifeline during challenging times, like the recent Indiana employ upwards of 1.2 million Hoosiers. economic recession. For instance, Tester said they facilitated many Paycheck Protection PPP and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans over the last year or so. Sometimes helping means getting out of the way or being hands on. It really depends on the small business owner’s needs and situation. “It’s just really important, now more than ever to support our local businesses and help them through all the changes related to the pandemic,” she said. “A lot of them, believe it or not, had the best year ever.” Bottom line? Look for an institution that works with your small business on a variety of levels, providing information, assessing current business activity, and helping to develop business synergies and strategies that may help yours grow at a faster rate. No small business operates in a vacuum and having the right people and organizations in your corner can help further your cause. a
Support
Tester also advises small business owners to think about working smarter, not harder. Technology makes that possible. Services like online banking and remote check deposit can save small business owners and their employees time and money. And during the pandemic, they can offer peace of mind and protection at the same time.

FEATURE | We Love Your Style We Love Your Style
OLIVIA FABIAN Tell us a little about each of the areas you chose to highlight. Why did you choose them? What makes them your faves?
Patio: The covered patio space is super great to be outdoors in any weather. We were talking about clearing it off to do some roller skating soon or maybe even an ice rink in the chilly months.
By Amber Bouthot | Photos by Ruth Yaro
Welcome to our new feature for 2021. Each month, we highlight someone whose style we admire.
This month, it’s Olivia Fabian, a mom and a wife to the most fun family a gal could ask for.
She’s also a Partner, Producer, and Associate Creative Director at One Lucky Guitar. In her spare time, she has a compulsion to make pom poms and sell them as earrings through her side business, OFabz. She and her husband Derek recently purchased a fabulous mid-century modern home. They have a son, Arlo, and dog, Bowie T. Stardust.
How would you describe your style?
Mid Century monochromatic meets Pee Wee’s Playhouse. Kitchen table: This is where we talk as a family, share meals, practice spelling words, and dream up adventures. I love this space visually but love it more for what happens here. Bar: The bar is in the living room, which is so random and fun. Though it does serve cocktails at parties, it mainly serves as a tchotchke museum in our day-to-day life.Living room: The living room features a fireplace, bar, disco ball collection, and a vintage striking points poster that was hanging in the dojo my dad and I ran together. I love this fun, yet cozy space. Movie nights, puzzle HQ, board game battles, and morning snuggles before bus pickup all happen here.
What’s your favorite color?
Mustard yellow. It’s a happy color and pairs well with basically everything. Craft room: I love working and making things, and this space allows me to make everything from pom pom earrings to props for photoshoots. And make many messes along the way too.
When you think of your home, what’s the feeling you hope your family and visitors have?
I hope our home makes my family feel happy, safe, and inspired. I love pattern and color and hope visitors feel welcome and joyful in the space. I have a group of super supportive gals in my life, and we call ourselves the Circus Ladies. a

Before my first appointment, she had color matched from my photos and was ready to go with the correct pigments. She was so thorough. She made sure that I was comfortable during the procedure and gave me her contact information in case I had questions after the procedure. My new nipples are amazing! She added all the realist details including Montgomery glands, which I had but never identified by name. (Give it a google!) I was 100% satisfied after my first appointment, but Lynn is so thorough, she booked me for a “Perfection Appointment” just to be sure everything was right.

FEATURE | Motherhood We’re Thankful
Four ways to instill an attitude of gratitude in your children
by Mary Jane Bogle
We’ve all been there: a screaming child melting down in the middle of the toy aisle, a toddler begging for candy at checkout, and teens sulking in a corner when forced to spend time at a family gathering when they’d rather be hanging out with friends. Those of us who have experienced these embarrassing moments rarely judge. After all, the struggle to raise children who are grateful is quite real.
As we approach Thanksgiving, November is the perfect time to create some new habits—for both our children and ourselves— that can instill thankfulness and gratitude in our lives. Beyond saving us the embarrassment of the public temper tantrum, teaching children to be grateful offers many benefits to everyone in the family. For example, instilling gratitude tends to foster contentment, increase empathy, build resilience, instill kindness, boost communication skills, and reduce feelings of entitlement, just to name a few!
Want some practical tips to teach your kids to be thankful? Here are four simple ideas to get you started:
1 2 3 4
Learn to say “no.”
This tip, as simple as it sounds, is a powerful tool many parents don’t utilize as often as they could. Unfortunately, if children get what they want every time they ask, they begin to feel entitled rather than blessed. The simple word “no,” used strategically, can check those feelings and help children feel thankful for what they do receive.
Help kids understand the value of their blessings.
Whether you’re thinking about possessions, screen time or extracurricular activities, helping children work for these blessings rather than offering them freely will go a long way toward building gratefulness. Asking children to work for rewards, extra activities or coveted items gives them a feeling of pride in earning privileges and helps them learn their true value.
Create opportunities for your children to gain awareness of the needs around them.
Restocking a food pantry or baking a meal for a neighbor who is going through a difficult time can take your children out of their “me-focused” world and turn their attention to others.
Work on a family or individual gratitude journal.
Not only will a gratitude journal help your child articulate thankfulness; it helps all members of the family look for ways to be grateful. After all, if they know they need to contribute to the journal that evening, they’re more likely to focus on blessings rather than problems throughout the day.
Whether you choose to participate in a family volunteer day, develop a family ethic of hard work that dispels entitlement, or create a gratitude journal together, instilling an attitude of gratitude will yield long-term benefits for all. a
Gratitude journal tips and tricks
• Include inspirational quotes. • Write something every night. • Make it specific. (Not: “I’m thankful for friends” but “I’m so glad [name] is part of my life, because she makes me laugh, doesn’t judge, is a good listener, tells great stories…) • Think of what life would be like without that blessing. • Consider a pre-printed journal that includes pages for artwork, doodles and mementos.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles
By Amber Bouthot
Looking for an unconventional dessert this holiday season? We have just the thing—and they are easy to make. They also look really fancy. Trust me. You’ll impress everyone if you bring these to an upcoming holiday get together.
Ingredients:
• 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened • 1/2 cup sugar • 1 large egg
• 1 cup canned pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice • 1 pound bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao), chopped
(I used Ghirardelli)
• 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease pie plate. Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy and smooth, then beat in egg until combined. Add pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice, and mix on low speed until smooth. Pour batter into pie plate and bake until edges are set and center is still a little wobbly, 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Cover cheesecake with wax paper or parchment then wrap in plastic and chill until cold, at least 3 hours.
Scoop out pumpkin cheesecake with an ice cream scooper, leveling it off, then releasing it, flat side down, onto wax paper–lined baking sheets. Freeze until frozen solid, at least 1 hour.
Melt chocolate in a small, deep bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, then remove bowl from pan. Rest a cheesecake scoop on a fork and lower it into chocolate, then spoon chocolate over it to coat it completely. Let excess chocolate drip off, then scrape bottom of fork against edge of bowl and return coated ball, flatside down, to wax paper–lined pan. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Repeat with remaining balls. If cheesecake begins to soften, return to freezer to harden. Return finished truffles to the freezer. a

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
You are the hostess with the most-est this month, and an invitation to your soiree will be sought by all your friends and acquaintances. While you will want to conserve your energy in order to pull off the best bash of the month, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Less is often more. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans,” so cut your screen time in half and become one with the world around you. It will have a positive impact on your psyche. Do some volunteer work and invest your free time making the world a better place.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Seasonal depression may affect others at this time of year, but you can’t shake that sunny disposition and the desire to celebrate. It’s a great time to treat yourself to something special but be conservative when it comes to the cost. If you are cutting into savings, it’s a bad idea.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Beware of impulsive behavior that could cause you to spend too much money. Yes, the holidays are coming, but you can’t afford to go overboard. Ask yourself if a purchase is absolutely necessary before putting the money down on it. Stick to the basics now and you can loosen the purse strings next month. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
As you plan the family feast this Thanksgiving, don’t forget to invite those extended relations who haven’t seen you in a while. It will be a great time to retell old stories, including the embarrassing ones that you would rather forget. Rest up to get ready for the work ahead. Many are depending on you. Aries (March 21 - April 19)
This is the month to take stock in your finances and develop ways to set aside some money for a rainy day. It will be easy to become overwhelmed by the possibilities, so find a good financial planner to help you make an informed decision rather than a hasty one. It may be a good time to start your own business. Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Running away from your problems will not make them go away. That will only make a bad situation worse. Multiple people are affected by the way you handle the conflict, so why not get their input and solve the issue in a collaborative way. Exercise will go a long way toward improving your mood. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
If you don’t want to become a Grinch, don’t wait until the last minute to start your holiday shopping. Go for quality over quantity in terms of gifts, stick to your budget, and remember that the best presents do not come in boxes and bags. A conflict can be avoided with straightforward communication.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
You will be full of energy this month, and you will knock out your goals if you manage your time well. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill when a petty argument gets in the way of a relationship and don’t let success go to your head. Humility, not arrogance is the way to win friends. Leo (July 23 - August 22)
At the close of a productive year, it’s no surprise that you are ready for a nice, long rest. If you are feeling fatigued, it is time to head to the spa for a little relaxation. Do not take on a work project that will require you to be spectacular, because you don’t have it in you right now to go above and beyond. You’re shine will return soon.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Your thoughts and opinions will have a far-reaching impact this month. When you speak, people tend to listen. You are admired for your ability to listen, analyze, and offer pragmatic advice. Everyone is watching you, so be the mentor they need you to be. Libra (September 23 - October 22)
You are the calm and peaceful member of your family to whom others turn for support and advice. Your boss values your opinions and you inspire your friends to be the best version of themselves. You influence everyone around you, so why do you feel invisible? Learn to recognize your gifts the way others do. a
