Thankful exercise
aking time to write down things to be thankful for is an exercise that
we all should do often. But we don’t. Yes, we may offer a comment
or two around the Thanksgiving table, but we rarely put ink on
paper to create a list of what we value in life. I finally did, and I offer these
items that I am thankful for in hopes that they may inspire you to come up
with a list of your own:

It’s hard not to get stressed out. It’s easy
to forget what Thanksgiving is all about and to
remember that thankfulness should be a daily
practice.
We asked Clive residents to take some
time to reflect. Here, they share the things
they’re most thankful for.
“Happythankyoumoreplease”
Thankfulness is never far from Tiffany Deal’s
mind.
“I’m always so thankful for my family and
friends, all the time, many times a day,” says
Deal. They include her husband, Morgan Deal,

and their two sons, Max, 8; and George, 5.
Whenever something good happens, big or
small, she automatically responds by saying this
in her head: “Happythankyoumoreplease.”
The run-on phrase is actually the name
of a movie written and directed by actor Josh
Radnor of “How I Met Your Mother” fame.
When Deal randomly came across the movie
trailer, the film title struck a chord with her.
Now,

“Happythankyoumoreplease” her mantra. She
figures she says it about 20 times a day.
She’s happy for her good fortune.
She’s saying “thank you” very much to the

Giving thanks for a peaceful community
Sabina Kneifl has traveled and lived abroad.
“And every time I come back, I am so much
more aware of what a good life we have here,”
says Kneifl. “I’m really thankful for living in a
peaceful community.”
As a stay-at-home mom, Kneifl says it gives
her a sense of security knowing that her neighbors and others living close by are nice people.
“If we wouldn’t have it, we would realize
what we would be missing,” she says.
Kneifl is originally from Romania and came
to the United States 11 years ago. She’s appreciative of the wide range of opportunities in
Clive and the Des Moines area for everything
from entertainment to personal and business
development.
“All you have to do is put yourself out there
and look for what you’re interested in, and
you’re going to find really good quality outlets
for anything, really,” Kneifl says.
She’s also recognized that local businesses
are making the effort to reinvest in themselves
and the community. Kniefl has noticed, particularly at this time of year, that the pumpkin
patches and orchards she likes to visit with her
5-year-old son are making improvements. She’s
finding these places are more interesting and
fun and appreciates the efforts on the part of
business owners.
“It feels good,” she says. “It’s like they’re
saying, ‘We want you here, we want you to
have a good time.’ “
She’s been fortunate as well to come into
contact with good people who have created an
environment of positivity.
“I think I’ve been blessed with having come
to Des Moines and being surrounded by goodnatured people, people who want to advance
and have a good life themselves,” she says. “And
that, in itself, creates a culture.”

The Tigges family has a new addition.
Andrea and Ben Tigges welcomed their

unconditional love,” she says. “Just flexibility.”
Before Noah was born, the couple thought
their baby would be worked into their schedule
and routine. But the new parents soon found
out that if they wanted to be sane and happy,
they would need to be on their son’s timetable.
“I think in our marriage, we’ve learned a lot
about teamwork and helping each other out,”
Tigges says. “And we’ve helped each other out
with our sanity.”
She’s grateful for her husband and all of the
support he’s provided.
“He’s very hands-on and very helpful, so
that’s a huge blessing for me,” Tigges says.

arrival of their son is how willing everyone is
to help. Tigges’ parents, who live a block away,
and her sister, who lives in Valley Junction, are
currently Noah’s primary childcare providers.
Knowing their son is in safe and caring hands
made going back to work much easier, says
Tigges, who is a nurse.

The couple met in nursing school and has
been together for about two years. Their wedding, held in Roland, took place in a rustic barn
owned by the parents of Walker’s best friend.
“It was a Pinterest wedding for sure —
every decoration we had was an idea we got
from Pinterest,” he says. “It was very cool.”
Walker says not much has changed since
getting married. But his relationship with his
wife has gotten stronger.
“I definitely think we’re closer now,”
Walker says.

SENIOR LIVING
Make friends; you could last longer
Social contacts have health benefits for seniors
By Cindi McNair, executive director, Deerfield Senior Living
ou probably know from
experience that friends
make your life richer.
But did you know having friends
could help you live longer? After
tracking nearly 1,500 people age
70-plus for 10 years, that’s what
one study* concluded: Satisfying
relationships predict longevity
even better than close family ties.
A comprehensive BYU
(Brigham Young University)
report** came to a similar conclusion. Analyzing more than 145
studies on aging from throughout the world — studies that
followed a total of more than
300,000 64-and-older respondents for approximately 7.5
years — researchers suggested
strong social relationships add,
on average, 3.7 years to the lives
Y
of those who avoid becoming
isolated.
Making friends is good advice
for any age. And it’s especially
worth the effort for seniors. As
the BYU study also concluded,
close relationships can:

our lives — with positive emotional benefits.
When you’re older, however, the idea of making friends may
be easier said than embraced.
After all, opportunities for meeting new people seem to slow
down with aging. You feel less

out as late or go out as often. So

and intentionally inviting others

Want to make more friends?
You can simplify and accelerate that process by moving to a
senior living community. You’ll
immediately expand your social
circle — with a surge in social
opportunities, new neighbors to
get to know and an esprit de

“The reality is everyone has a God-given

Even after spending a short time speaking
with hime, it’s easy to tell that Harvey not only
believes this sentiment but also tries to find the
talents hidden in everyone around him. This, no
doubt, explains why he saves so many works of
art, even those that aren’t quite finished yet.

The detail in his paintings has not gone
unnoticed, earning him recognition. The stunning portraits capture numerous animals like
bobcats, turkey, ducks, songbirds, fish and deer
in a variety of woodland and prairie settings.
Miller was even named Iowa Duck’s
Unlimited artist of the year with one of his
paintings in 2010. Earlier in 2009, Miller also

all four competitions in the same year.
“He’s a wonderful artist, and I absolutely

Harvey. “This is my little part of the world that

Revocable
living trusts
Clients have some common characteristics
By Nathaniel Tagtow
am often asked to describe the
characteristics of a client who
would be best served by having a
revocable living trust where a corporate fiduciary serves as trustee.
I
That question is often hard to
answer because every individual’s
SITUATION IS UNIQUE &URTHERMORE
trusts can be versatile documents,
and no one trust is, or should
be, exactly alike another. A welldrafted trust is often tailored to
accomplish the goals of the grantor of the trust, and to meet not
only the grantor’s needs but the
needs of his or her beneficiaries as
well. With that in mind, I am able
to outline some common characteristics that have led to clients
with a revocable living trusts to
name a corporate fiduciary that
has accomplished desired results
in a smooth and efficient manner.
One common need for those
with a revocable living trust is
for ongoing investment management services. A revocable living
trust that establishes a corporate
fiduciary, such as a bank trust
department, as trustee can provide
knowledgeable and experienced
investment management services
not only for the life of the grantor
of the trust, but for the beneficiaries of the trust as well.
Another common theme
for many with a revocable living
trust is the need for assistance
in managing financial affairs. The
trustee can be directed to provide
for payment of bills, distribution
of income, record keeping of all
financial transactions and more.
This can help shift the burden of
www.MyLSB.com
handling financial affairs away from
the grantor of the trust when he
or she is ready to do so.
In Iowa, a third common characteristic I often come across for
those with a revocable living trust
involves those who own farmland
but no longer desire to actively
manage their land. The trustee
of a revocable living trust can be
directed to manage the farmland
as an asset of the trust. This can
involve selection of a tenant to
farm the ground, negotiation of
the farmland lease, and establishing a fair and appropriate rental
rate. The trustee then collects the
rental income from the tenant and
distributes or invests the proceeds
as directed by the grantor in the
trust.
These common characteristics
of those who utilize a corporate
fiduciary as trustee of a revocable
living trust are by no means all
inclusive. They do, however, provide a snapshot of some of the
important services that a corporate fiduciary can provide. Q

Maintaining an active social lifestyle can preserve mental sharpness and helps to reduce symptoms of depression and dementia.

6 tips to fight holiday weight gain

FAITH
The City provides a virtual bulletin board with live-action updates on Eternity Church’s website.
Faith in The City
Application connects members to Eternity Church
By Chris Kelley
H
ave you ever wanted a
one-stop shop for all your
church community needs?
Social media and the Internet
can never fully take the place
of human interaction and Sunday
morning services, but with each
growing day it becomes easier and
easier to stay connected with your
church community and work to
nurture your faith, friendship and
fellowship with people that matter most. At Eternity Church, the
motto is “Go, Grow, Overflow,”
and a tool to help aid the mission
is a special online application called
The City.
What is The City, you ask?
It’s a lot like what it sounds. The
online service has a main focus of
building and maintaining a strong
church community. According to
the product’s official website, The
City creates an online community
where ministry naturally connects
to real life. The fairly new platform
takes aim at building a mega database for Eternity Church, pushing
for a 24/7 interaction that goes
beyond the typical Sunday meetings.
Eternity’s website makes it
easy for members to access The
City. New members and visitors
who aren’t a part of the website
can quickly register by providing
their email. Once you enter The
City, you’re introduced to a virtual bulletin board with live-action
updates. Members of the church
can post current and upcoming
events on the main page, while
others can comment with questions or concerns. Like other
social networking sites, members
can update their status and mood
— there is even a “members
online” and “like” option for posts.
Eternity Church
2000 N.W. 100th St.
MyEternityDM.com
Sunday services:
9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Like other social media platforms, there are a variety of useful
widgets. Not only can members
put in prayer requests, but they
www.iowalivingmagazines.com/clive
can also donate to the church
through The City. Eternity Church
provides an up-to-date calendar
on the platform to make it a
one-stop shop for church members. Looking for a bargain?
Eternity even offers up a special
Marketplace section where church
members can buy and sell new and
used goods at discounted prices.
The family-friendly platform
has proven a great success at
Eternity and is helping to bridge
and foster relationships within the
community both new and old.
With a highly active user base, it
is clear to see that The City has
proven itself — not as a replacement of Sunday fellowship, but as
a great addition.Q

"MY GOAL IS TO

POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY
IF THEY’VE HAD BAD
DENTAL EXPERIENCES
IN THE PAST OR ARE
EXTREMELY ANXIOUS.”
Cavity and gum disease
prevention
One of the key components of
a family dentist’s approach to
general dentistry is the checkup
and cleaning. What may seem
like minor procedures can actually ensure your teeth and gums
remain strong. Otherwise, your
teeth and gums can succumb to
serious and widespread dental
health problems, such as cavities
and gum disease.
As Dr. Leslie Ehlen of Heritage
Creek Dental explains: “If left
unchecked, gum disease can lead
to gum recession, bad breath,
tooth looseness or loss and bone
degeneration. The disease is also
linked to increased risk for significant health problems, like heart
disease and stroke.”
A simple cleaning allows a professional family dentist to remove
the plaque that often leads to gum
disease, protecting the stability and
beauty of your smile. A checkup
allows a family dentist to monitor
the teeth and gums for the earliest
signs of trouble and administer
treatment before the issue progresses any further.
Caring for little smiles
General dentistry includes treat-

ment for children, as well as adults
and teens. When you see your
family dentist, you can instill good
dental habits that your children
will continue as they grow older.
Dr. Ehlen agrees.
“Positive dental visits in early
childhood set the stage for a lifelong habit of good oral healthcare
habits,” she says.
Children’s dentistry includes
routine checkups and professional
cleanings. Your family dentist may
also offer preventive measures,
such as dental sealants and fluoride
treatments, to strengthen your
child’s natural defenses against
decay-causing bacteria.
Personalized dentistry
When you visit a family dentist,
you have a doctor ready to offer
you unique and personalized treatment. In one location, you can find
an array of treatments. If your
dentist feels you would benefit
from a specialist, he or she can
recommend a trusted professional
to provide a second opinion or
assist with your care. Q

RECIPE
Sweet and elegant
Salted caramel musicians’ tarts
Easy treat to keep on hand for guests
By Kris Ellis Tracy
devised this recipe years ago when I was cooking for an enormous dinner party. We needed a dessert that was delicious and
special, but not too much fuss. This is perfect to have on hand
for drop-in guests and spur-of-the-moment dinners that tend to
happen at the holidays. These tarts are easy to serve and can be
made several days ahead of time. Keep some in a covered tin to
serve with tea or coffee. Your guests will be delighted. Q
I
Crust
1½ sticks butter at room temperature
¼ cup powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon salt (omit if you are
using salted butter)
1½ tablespoons sugar
1½ cups flour
Whip the butter and powdered
sugar with the salt and sugar. Make
sure that the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
Sift the flour over the butter
mixture and mix until combined.
Put the resulting mixture into a
plastic bag or covered container
in the refrigerator for 2 hours or
overnight.
Filling
8 ounces mixed roasted nuts

topping*
Pour the nuts into a colander and
shake over the sink to remove
some of the salt. Mix together the
nuts and caramel. Set aside in a

To bake:
Line a cupcake pan with festive
papers. Scoop walnut sized balls of
the crust mixture into each well.
With your thumb, push down
into each scoop of crust mixture
and shape it into a crust that covers the bottom of each cupcake
well. Bake at 300 degrees for
10-12 minutes until the crust is

completely.
Spoon the filling into each
crust to make the tarts.

If you like, substitute ½ bag
of caramels melted with 1 can of
evaporated milk. Cool. (You may
have more caramel this way.) Use
1½ cups of caramel for each 8
ounces of nuts.
