Hey CoSo--

Remember: We didn't evolve alongside online tech. It is *very new* for our brain chemistry as a species, which means that the way it plays on our reward response and around hormones for threats/stress is *hugely* out of whack with real danger.

Right now we're all super primed to see threats in others' posts. Death is unfolding as news spectacle, & some are 💯 confrontationally posting to grieve/vent.

Just don't to let the screen consume you. Touch grass. Hug a loved one. Hydrate. 🫂

Tonight dream the dreams of love, compassion, and especially gratitude. You actually chose to be here now. When you wake up in the morning, (before your feet hit the floor!) let your first thought be "What a beautiful morning, and I'm in it!!"

The world runs on love or fear. We all get to choose which team we are on at every moment of our days or nights. #ChooseWisely✨

So I wish you Namaste, sweet dreams, and good night, #GentleReaders ✨
#YouShine ✨

I was thinking earlier about how much better friendships are when you are older. You don't have all the distractions like when you were younger. And you don't feel you have to compete with one another all the time. You know who you are and have nothing to prove. That's a good place to be in.

oh shit, I was clicking around here and was interested in these check marks (I was joking about having CoSo blue a while back but there it is) and then noticed I got a gold check! Sweet!

Not that it matters but it feels good to be included.

This labor day weekend remember it's the Filthy Richs fault you are over worked and under paid.

Not your neighbors, not immigrants, not fast food workers, not Gen x or Gen z or Gen done with this shit.

Vote the politicians that are owned by the filthy rich out and focus your anger and rage at the cause of the problem.
