Hey there, Just wanted to update you on the candy sitch. So I noticed that we have run out of all the good stuff - you know, the chocolate bars, gummy bears, and all the fancy treats. It's like a candy crisis! I think we need to come up with a plan to restock our candy supply. Maybe we should make a trip to the grocery store and see what they have to offer. We could also ask friends and family if they have any extras they're willing to share. I mean, who doesn't love a good candy exchange? In the meantime, we should definitely put our creative skills to use and try making some homemade candy.

We celebrate the changing of the seasons through ritual service and hold gatherings where we give thanks for the bounties of nature such as the flowers of spring or the fruits of the harvest in fall. Our mission is to provide an open, inclusive, and welcoming community for all Pagans regardless of path, tradition, identity, or orientation; to educate about Paganism; and to act as a resource for the community at large.
I mean, who doesn't love a good candy exchange? In the meantime, we should definitely put our creative skills to use and try making some homemade candy. I've heard there are some easy recipes online that we could try. Plus, it could be a fun activity to do together.
Covenant of Earth and Sky
The Covenant of Earth and Sky (COVES) is a Pagan-based worship group and CUUPS chapter at Second Unitarian for over ten years!
We honor the changing of the seasons and energies of the universe in relation to various Pagan traditions. We focus on earth-centered rituals that honor the Pagan Wheel of the Year. COVES supports many Pagan businesses in Chicagoland and attends events and workshops.
We offer 8 Rituals throughout the year: Litha/Summer Solstice, Lammas/First Harvest, Mabon/Autumnal Equinox/Second Harvest, Samhain/Third Harvest, Yule/Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Ostara/Spring Equinox, and Beltane.
Currently, these offerings are on Zoom only due to the construction at the 2U building. However, we anticipate returning to in person events in the near future. We also offer discussion groups, book groups, and during the summer, a Pagan meet-up at a local park.
We are fortunate to have reached beyond Chicagoland and now have participants from across the country as well as internationally (Canada, Poland, England, Norway). Our Rituals are open to all, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. An excellent book to reference for Earth Based traditions and paths is “Pagan and Earth Based Voices in Unitarian Universalism” published by Skinner House. You can find the book at the link below or in the 2U Library here.
You may find COVES on Facebook where we post about all of our events and more!

But let's not forget that too much candy isn't the greatest for our health. We should also consider adding some healthier snack options to our stash. Maybe some fruit, nuts, or yogurt would be a good idea. Overall, the candy shortage is a bummer, but it's nothing we can't fix. With a bit of effort and a little creativity, I'm confident we'll have a fully stocked candy drawer in no time. Take care and let's get our sweet tooth back on track! Best, [Your Name].
Reviews for "Candy and well-being: the surprising benefits of indulging in moderation"
1. Emily - 1 star
"The Candy Sitch was a disappointing read for me. The characters felt flat and one-dimensional, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The plot was predictable and lacked any real depth or originality. Overall, I found the book to be unengaging and forgettable. I wouldn't recommend it."
2. David - 2 stars
"I had high hopes for The Candy Sitch, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The writing style was overly simplistic, making it feel like a book meant for young children rather than young adults. The story lacked substance and felt like a shallow attempt at creating a teenage drama. I struggled to stay interested throughout and found myself skimming through the pages. I was disappointed with this book, and it didn't leave a lasting impression on me."
3. Anna - 2 stars
"The Candy Sitch was a letdown for me. The characters were unlikeable, and their actions felt forced and unrealistic. The storyline had potential, but it failed to deliver any meaningful or thought-provoking moments. The pacing was slow, and I found myself losing interest quickly. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to others, as there are plenty of better options in the young adult genre."
4. Michael - 3 stars
"The Candy Sitch had its moments, but it ultimately didn't live up to the hype for me. While the premise was intriguing, I found the execution to be lacking. The dialogue felt forced and unrealistic, and the character development was weak. The pacing was uneven, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. I was disappointed with the overall reading experience and expected more from this book."
