“It is possible, practical and incumbent to hold these two truths: – The holidays are wonderful, merry and bright. – The holidays are hard, dark and dreary. For some, it’s one or the other. For most, it’s both.”
~ Rev. “Twinkle” Marie Manning
“For those who are hurting, lonely or sad this time of year, and for those who wish to support those who are, this service is for you. A time and place to hold grief sacred during the holiday season. Whether it is your Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa or Solstice and Yule, the holiday season, while filled with light, can create palpable darkness. Together may we offer comfort and solace.”
Order of Worship for the Service:
This service was recorded at the Universalist Church in Waterville, Maine on December 18th – where Twinkle is the contract minister serving the congregation in worship leadership twice a month until June 2023. Interfaith services such as this are Twinkle’s trademark in a landscape of religious and spiritual diversity. Check Twinkle’s PlaceUpcoming Events and Gatherings page for information about 2023 Services, Retreats, Workshops and more.
For many years Twinkle has hosted Blue Christmas gatherings during the holiday season. In 2020 she published a Blue Christmas Reflection Book.
The Women of Spirit Reflection Book is part of the Matrika Press Reflection & Blessing Book series and the Women of Spirit series. It is designed to be used as a self-led retreat that you guide yourself on. It can be used to mark a milestone such as a significant birthday or important season of your life. It can help you process a loss or transition. It can be the place you affirm what is next for you as you cross a threshold and visualize your greatest intention for your life.
Reflection & Blessing Booksare created by “Twinkle” Marie Porter-Manning and are a source of intentional inspiration to be used to record personal messages to the owner of the Blessing Book. These mementos and keepsakes can be used in rituals, celebrations and communions as well as for self-reflection and documentation of one’s innermost thoughts, feelings and beliefs. At the heart of Reflection & Blessing Books is the desire to share sentiments, messages and stories that we can draw upon as sources of comfort and a reminder that we are loved. This Reflection Book was created for self-exploration and contemplation.
We are so delighted to share that while “Twinkle” is insisting that she is “semi-retired” in the television realm, she is still working on projects that are near and dear to her heart. The Empowering Women programs, including studio sessions and signature events among them.
Praying for our family and friends on Prince Edward Island and throughout the Atlantic provinces. Currently everyone on the Island is without power and there is much damage provincewide. #HurricaneFiona
