The holidays feel far away right now. But they'll be here before you know it. The office party. The family gathering. Maybe a high school reunion you've been on the fence about, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you're already wondering how you'll feel when it's time to get dressed. Here's what I know: You don't want to spend another holiday season feeling exhausted, bloated, and just trying to get through it. You want to actually enjoy it this year. That starts now. Join me for a free workshop where I'll walk you through exactly what's been keeping you stuck—and what it actually takes to feel like yourself again before the holiday chaos hits. What you'll learn: → Why the fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight aren't your fault—and what's really driving them → The difference between managing symptoms and addressing root causes (and why it matters for lasting results) → How to use the next 10-12 weeks strategically so you're not starting from scratch in January → A clear path forward—no crash diets, no deprivation, no guesswork This workshop is for you if: → You're tired of feeling tired and want real answers → You've tried "all the things" but nothing seems to stick → You want to feel confident and energized heading into the holidays—not dreading every event on the calendar → You're ready to stop waiting for rock bottom and start investing in yourself now This isn't another lecture about eating less and exercising more. This is about understanding your body and finally giving it what it needs to heal. Save your spot. I'll see you there. Space is limited! MUST Register

The nonprofit Bangor Beautiful and the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce are bringing a major new community mural to the heart of downtown Bangor. Maine artist Rachel Gloria Adams will transform the large exterior wall at 2 Hammond Street with a 3-story mural incorporating Bangor-inspired patterns created by local artists, Juliana Cantreli, Nina Earley, Annette Dodd, Karen Nichols, and Carile Deshane. Installation is expected to begin mid September, with a community celebration planned for September 26th  4 to 6pm at 2 Hammond Street. Selected repetitive designs by local artists, Juliana Cantreli, Nina Earley, Annette Dodd, Karen Rand, and Carile Deshane on the theme of Bangor “We are delighted to partner with Bangor Beautiful to install a new mural on the building we proudly call home in downtown Bangor. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate and promote the arts than by showcasing creative talent right on our own building. Projects like this enhance our quality of life, strengthen community pride, and attract both visitors and residents to our downtown,” said Deb Neuman, President and CEO of the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce. BANGOR, THROUGH THE EYES OF LOCAL ARTISTS. Each artist created a pattern inspired by Bangor. Karen Nichols celebrates the Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race, while Carlie Deshane highlights downtown’s historic architecture and Nina Earley depicts the Penobscot River. Julianna Venturelli references Stephen King through his home and characters from books such as It. Annette connects Bangor’s lumber history with its present-day commitment to planting trees and beautifying the city.  The three-story Community mural will incorporate the local Bangor-inspired patterns as well as Rachel Gloria Adams designs and artists style. WHY COMMUNITY? Community gives people a sense of belonging and reminds us that we’re part of something larger than ourselves. When neighbors know one another they build trust and the resilience to grow together. We hope this mural, rooted in the spirit of Bangor, can turn a blank brick wall into a mirror, reflecting shared identity, sparking connection, and adding beauty to our everyday lives. “Public conversations about Bangor have recently been too focused on its challenges,” said Greg Edwards, co-founder of Bangor Beautiful. “This mural offers a big, beautiful reminder of what is also true: Bangor is filled with talented people, generous businesses, strong partnerships, and residents who care deeply about their community. We are creating something joyful and welcoming to reflect that vision of Bangor to everyone who lives, works, and visits here.”  ABOUT THE ARTIST. Rachel Gloria Adams is a multidisciplinary artist based in Portland, Maine, known for vibrant, graphic patterns inspired by the natural world, family, textiles, and place. Her work spans painting, quilting, design, and large-scale public murals. Examples of Rachel Gloria Adams past murals https://www.rachelgloria.com/murals.

All Things Equal The Life & Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Supreme Court Justice “RBG” welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey, over the course of ninety fascinating and often funny minutes, a sense of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school … being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer … fighting for women’s rights in the nineteen-seventies before condescending all-male courts … and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court. An evening with a great and compassionate icon of straight-thinking American justice emerges … an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world. Bring your scrunchies, your hankies, your humor and your heart to this entertaining and uplifting event! Written by Tony Award-Winning playwright RUPERT HOLMES Starring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg Directed by Laley Lippard
