QUITTING QUICK FIXES THE QUICK FIX TO
This month was an especially fun cover story to put together. As someone who has been calling the Fargo-Moorhead area home for eight years and works in a job like this where I get to explore the community and all it has to offer—creating a bucket list for this metro was quite the project. There are things on the list that, if you live here, you probably have already done; then, there are things that you'd have to go out of your way to do. And, I know that you've probably heard of some of these things a million times, but I know locals who still have never done some of the things that make Fargo what it is. There are certain things that you can only do seasonally or that you have to plan ahead for—and that's okay! I hope you can look through our bucket list and find a handful of things that, though you knew existed, still haven't had the pleasure of doing, and take your time doing them..
This reminds me of how I make my coffee, which is most mornings and I use a French press. Making coffee with the French press is fairly simple, but it can be daunting. You start with your coffee, either whole bean or ground. I have a Mr. Coffee bean grinder that I bought seven years
ago, I think for about $15. You put ground beans into the French press and you boil water. I use a stovetop teapot, and it takes about seven or so minutes to boil water. You then pour the boiling water into the French press, over top of the beans, and you let that sit for five minutes. Take a spoon, stir it up, and then put the top on and press it down.
When you break it down like that, it sounds like a lot of tasks, but I do it in between getting ready, or in between Instagram reels, if we're being honest. But, that's how I make my coffee. A while back, I started thinking of ways that I could make the process quicker, like if I make a couple of cups of it on the weekend and I could have cold brew for the week. I became stuck on trying to innovate and change the way that I make this coffee so that it could be more efficient. The best I had got was filling up my teapot the night before so that I just had to turn my stovetop on in the morning. Sometimes I put the grounds in the French press at night, so then I just had to pour the water on it in the morning. But, I've come to realize that there actually are not a lot of ways to make this process any quicker than it is without just fast-forwarding, and that's not really possible—no matter how
hard I wish it was sometimes. The other morning, as I poured my boiling water into the French press, I realized that there is no way to streamline the process anymore, because that process just takes a certain amount of time, and that's okay.
We are so obsessed with quick fixes, quick hacks, quick tips, quicker ways to make our meals, quicker routes to get where we need to go—but I think we need a reminder that some things will always just take time. And that's, dare I say, that's just a fact of life. It shocked me when I started to think about the fact that the idea of something not being "efficient" or "quick" went against the grain, that we are almost encouraged to not take our time, enjoying the time spent, doing something. So, I leave with this message to close out 2024.
Do something new, or do something you've done a million times before, just take your time doing it, and
Happy Reading!

Xyle Altura: Starting Fresh in Fargo—A Creative's Journey of Connection and Career.
"Kamusta! I’m XyleAltura,a 22-year-old Filipino graphic designer,photographer,and content creator.I recently moved to Fargo on my own to study Strategic Communication at North Dakota State University.I’m an only child; my mom,Quinine,is a high school teacher,and my dad, Edwin,works as a custodian. Growing up,I was always drawn to creative pursuits,and today,I channel that passion into visual art through poster design and photography.I also enjoy creating short videos where I share my experiences, interests,and hobbies with others online."
Tell me about your journey before coming to Fargo? Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised in Las Piñas, Philippines, and later moved to Carmona, Cavite, before coming to the U.S. In 2017, my dad and I joined my mom in McIntosh, SD, where I completed high school in 2020. After taking a gap year due to the pandemic, I worked in Grand Forks, then enrolled at Bismarck State College in 2021, where I earned an associate’s degree in graphic design and communications. I later worked as a graphic designer at Flash Printing in Bismarck. Though I enjoyed the experience, I wanted to explore more and grow in a larger community, so I made the move to Fargo to continue my journey and pursue new opportunities.
though I knew a few people who had moved from Bismarck to Fargo. I was nervous about meeting new people in a new place. However, I quickly found friends and built connections with others who share my interests within a short amount of time.
What is something that stood out to you about Fargo?
What do you enjoy doing?
I enjoy many things, so I’ll break them into categories: creatively, I love making videos about my interests, designing graphic art, and photographing food, products, and people. Socially, I cherish time with family and friends because they keep me inspired. Indoors, I enjoy cooking, watching shows, and learning new skills on YouTube. Outdoors, I’m
What stood out most to me is Fargo’s diversity, especially compared to other places I’ve lived in the U.S. There’s such a wide variety of cultural backgrounds here, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I found other Filipinos nearby. I also noticed the impressive range of food options and the strong sense of community involvement whether it be in art, food, or cultural events, Fargo’s
engagement and inclusivity really make it unique.
How did the move impact you towards your career goals? Do you recommend moving to Fargo to young individuals?
I moved here to return to college and explore new opportunities. The move has positively impacted my career goals because I was able to quickly connect with like-minded individuals and professionals within my field. As a young person myself, I strongly recommend moving to Fargo. Although it’s smaller than other Midwest cities, it’s consistently growing, making it a great place for young starters to build strong connections and make a name for themselves.
How do you cope with the culture shift and homesickness?
As an immigrant, I sometimes feel out of place and miss home, especially in my first few years in the U.S. Now, being in Fargo, I’ve found a larger Filipino community and a few stores that sell familiar foods and products, bringing me a sense of home even though I’m far from the Philippines. It feels nice to have these connections and reminders of where I come from.
How did you hear about the Folkways internship/creatorship?
I heard about the position through a friend I met in Bismarck who had moved to Fargo before I did. She mentioned job openings that matched my skills and degree in graphic design, then shared an Instagram post about an internship as a Campus FM content creator. At first, it seemed too good to be true,

but fast forward to now; I’m so glad I applied and accepted the position.
What have you learned so far or gained through your recent move to Fargo?
So far, I’ve learned that embracing exploration and connection brings you closer to your goals. I’ve also learned to focus on doing what I love without worrying about others’ opinions. Because of this, I’ve gained new friends, connections, and interests.
What are your short-term goals and long-term goals?
My short-term goals include building as many connections as possible, creating more art and content online, and exploring career opportunities in Fargo. Long-term, I aim to find a career that aligns with my skills, make a name for myself, strengthen my relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, and ultimately find joy and happiness from within.

JennyMeetSheets! Bucket List Reflections
Jenny Sheets grew up between Fargo, Montana, and the lakes of Minnesota. Her career path has looked more like a plate of spaghetti than a ladder, with jobs ranging from CEO to restaurant server to Christmas elf. When not writing or running her social design company, Discover Outdoors, you can find Jenny running, biking, skiing at Detroit Mountain, or sipping beers at a Moorhead brewery. She has a 3-year-old son named Henry Danger, and for those following her journey, she finally convinced her husband to get a puppy this year. The puppy is now 9 months old and 70 pounds. Keep her in your prayers.
Jenny talks and reflects on her 50-some-thinglong bucket list, 23 years later.
In tenth grade, I made a list of “50 things to accomplish in my life.” As you can imagine coming from any 16-year-old, it included things like swimming with dolphins, climbing mountains, and riding in a yellow taxi cab. What makes it significant, is it happened to be written on September 10, 2001, when to a young person, the world felt limitless and the opportunities endless. As far as I was concerned, I was invincible. We all know what happened next.
The journal entries that followed the list were less about dreaming and more about questioning, trying to make sense of a very dark time in our history as a young person not even old enough to vote. One entry reads, "I sit and wonder what our country has to do to rebuild. Not just physically, but mentally." I quickly learned what it means to reflect.
Reflection is healthy, and December is a natural time to reflect. We look back on the past year and any resolutions we made or didn’t. The long, dark days give us more time with our thoughts, for better or worse. During a time when our country may seem divided, reflection and observation remind me we have so much more in common than not.
This December, I reflect back on the year, but also the last two-and-a-half decades of my life.
What’s on your bucket list?
skydiving, knitting a whole scarf, climbing a really big tree, and other experiences important to my high
have accomplished about half, at approximately halfway through my life (if I’m lucky). But this list is far from complete. There are things on this list I can probably take off (like the 7-layer cake) and there are so many more I want to add: be a good parent, find contentment, write a book, be a steward of the
But, there’s one from that original list that stands out, one that will always remain on my bucket list:
This one forces reflection: am I following their rules? Am I aligned with our family values? They always taught me to be honest and kind. Has that been the case over the last 40 years? (We can skip over the lip ring era). If I can make my parents

Meet The MAKER MAKER
Morgan's Stained Glass
By Ashley Morken, Owner, Unglued
provided by Ashley Morken
M organ Niederkorn has been taking the FM area by crafty storm and turning it into one big, beautiful suncatcher! You’ll find her both selling her gorgeous stained glass pieces and teaching you this unique handcrafted process all around town. Learn more about this maker below and how you can try your own hand with stained glass, too!
Tell us a bit about yourself. My name is Morgan, and I lived most of my life in the northern suburbs of Minnesota. I met my now husband (MN born and raised in the south metro) in 2018 while we were both still in college. We survived COVID together, got married in April of 2022, and promptly moved to the Fargo area a week later for my husband’s work. Last December, we welcomed our first child, so life as a mom takes up most of my time outside of work.
Since middle school, my love of art began to form. I have dabbled in cross stitch, crotchet, ceramics, and stipple drawings until I finally settled on stained glass as my medium. The basics I learned from my mom who took a several week introduction course while I was in high school, and the rest I learned from trial and error.
Describe what type of products you make under Morgan's Stained Glass. I mostly make suncatchers and other glass decor that are usually available as a class. I also make pre-made stained glass kits for folks to complete at home as long as they have the required
Photos
equipment. Still in its beginner phase are take home mosaic kits where everything is ready to go—no glass cutting.
How did you get started with your businesses?
Stained glass initially began as a hobby and gradually became more. It started with personal projects, gifts, selling my items on marketplace, and then custom orders. The custom orders became consistent enough to make me feel I could do it full time. I began working on an inventory for shows, and worked with another local artist to start teaching in person stained glass classes.
What are your personal favorite items you've created so far?
My absolute favorite piece I ever made was the stained glass Princess Peach from Mario for my best friend. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into that piece.
What is the most popular item you specifically sell?
The most popular items I sell are either my dachshund suncatcher on Etsy or my monstera leaf and hummingbird pieces at Brewhalla.
What is something you've enjoyed the most about doing this handcrafted business?
The best thing about having this handcrafted business has been the flexibility in setting my own hours and schedule. I love that I am able to spend quality time with my kiddo every day before working with my glass.
What is the most challenging thing?
The most challenging thing has been staying on top of messages and emails. Some days I am inundated and feel like I’m drowning!
Another major setback was when my email was hacked, and access to my page was cut off fall of 2023. I had to start everything from scratch, and now, I am almost back to where I was.
You teach so many workshops on stained glass and have gotten our community here in Fargo so creative! What got you interested in teaching?
I became interested in teaching when another local artist in MN started a studio
near me (The Artery in Anoka, MN). I was a guest teacher in her studio for several classes before moving to Fargo. I loved it and started searching for something similar here. I ended up buying all the tools and equipment for my kits and now can have my classes in nearly any location. I have done classes at the Plains Art Museum and former Havoc House, and continue to teach at Unglued in Brewhalla and SheyWest in West Fargo.
I love bringing the joy of glass to my students. Several have bought equipment of their own and are selling their own pieces—check out Crystal Cryptid Creations by Mindy.
We get lots of requests to book private workshops with you—if someone is interested how do they go about that? The best way to to book a private class is to message my page, or send me an email and I can send out the private class information. I intend to have an easily accessible form on my page sometime after the busy season.
What is a word that best describes you? Hardworking—it has been drilled into me since childhood and has been applied to every job I have ever had. It was a driving force to start my business as well, to start working for myself rather than a big business.
What advice would you have given yourself five years ago?
I would say to go for it. I do believe everything that happened in my life, leading up to the moment I decided to make it official was necessary.
Where can people find your work and stay in touch?
Most of my items are in the Unglued shop at Brewhalla, and a limited selection is available on Etsy. Every now and then I sell on Marketplace, or on my business page—Morgan’s Stained Glass.
