Truly, this is what I love about CoSo. We are a diversified group with a variety of interests and talents. Yet we share for the love of sharing in hope that others can benefit from our care, our wisdom, our experiences, our creativity, our sacrifices, our laughter, our support. Which in turn, allows each of us to shine like bright stars on a moonless night.
Happy 6th Birthday CoSo. You are getting better all the time!
It all seems rather bleak, doesn't it?
You can either let it all get to you, creating a despondency from which would be difficult to return, or you can create your own world, still filled with color.
I'm not saying to live in a fantasy world. But I am saying it is our responsibility to continually make the best of a situation and then work to make it even better.
Let's change the world.
Together, we are stronger.
Everyone who comes to CoSo, does so for a reason. Everyone who chooses to stay does so for a reason.
For me, CoSo is a safe harbor. Five years ago I ventured here just because of my admiration for J. I was worried I wouldn't be tech savvy enough but immediately my fears were put to rest with warm welcomes and helpful advice.
I have stayed because this place is like a second home with a loving family. I feel safe here. Secure. Genuine connections made.
Happy Anniversary, CoSo. 💟
#CoSoLove
I want peace, hope, harmony, acceptance.. a bright light of goodness to shine over the land.. I am calling upon everyone to work together to overcome differences and HEAL.
We are pieces of the puzzle.. in order to fit properly we must all come together with a genuine offer of peace and the sincerity of both remorse and absolution. Only then can love flourish. And I would love to live in a land based upon mutual respect.
Wouldn't you?
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.

Dearest CoSo,
The next days, weeks, and months ahead will continue to be difficult as we strive to battle the daily onslaught of divisive rhetoric. Please remember as we are each tested, the joy we find in each other's experiences, the lessons we learn through our diversity, the hope we generate from communal support, and the abiding love we have to give.
We have more in common than we have differences. We are always stronger together. I love you and peace be with you.
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
