Hello, Northern Colorado!
What a week it’s been! As temperatures plummeted, I bundled up in every layer I could find while navigating the icy roads of Fort Collins. It was a stark reminder of how unforgiving Colorado winters can be—and how resilient our community is when faced with challenges. Despite the chill, I saw neighbors shoveling sidewalks, lending a hand to one another, and embracing the season’s beauty.
