August notes

August has continued to see lots and lots (loads and loads) of rain! Tuesday evening vespers services (Contemplative Services) have grown a bit of a following and it is a delight to watch this small ministry grow. Soon Twinkle will be returning to her regular contract with the Waterville Universalist church where she leads services twice per month September thru June. She is also going to be launching a new Empowering Women Maine Salon Style Gatherings. (more on that in future posts).

Twinkle took this photo one evening. She says, “While on Kineo this beach has the best vantage point for the most gorgeous sunsets!” She and her friends have spent quite a bit of time on-Island as they prepare for the next phases of Melusine’s Haven. Stay tuned for more exciting news to come for Melusine’s Haven as well for new Twinkle’s Place new location plans.

an Invitation to Twinkle’s Place: Open House for Women’s March on Maine

Should you seek respite on your journey Saturday – We are here for you!

We know many of our UU friends and compassionate colleagues will be traveling distances on Saturday to attend the Women’s March in Augusta.   If you are seeking a place to stop, have a warm cup of coffee or tea, and relax for a short while, perhaps even sit in our meditation room, before you proceed to or from the Maine State Capitol, please know there is a friendly, welcoming home for you to visit enroute. 

Twinkle’s Place is just of I-95 in Pittsfield: Exit 150 (40 minutes south of Bangor / 40 minutes north of Augusta).

IF you think you may wish to stop in, let me know and we will be prepared.  BUT also feel free to decide spur-of-the-moment depending on how you feel on Saturday.
