Warm greetings to all. As we prepare for school to start again, the weather to turn and final summer trips to come to conclusion, five of us met briefly on Tuesday the 31st. Marybeth, Chris, Jeff, Rick and I joined our Zoom. Though Rick was traveling and could only join to listen and Marybeth was calling in from the car in North Dakota, it was wonderful to check in, see some friendly faces, and simply remind ourselves we are not alone. The meeting was brief, only about a half hour, due to schedules and prior commitments. But these meetings do not have to be long to be impactful and refreshing. No matter how many join or for how long this time represents a safe haven, a lighthouse in the chaos for those who need it. For those of you in Maine, enjoy the upcoming fall weather, sweaters and hoodies, and changing colors. As always, reach out, we are here; you are not alone.

On a horizon note, we’d love to get together again in the next few months in another locale if any of you are up for a visit.
