Thanks to everyone who received my thoughts this morning with such openness and positivity.
It's one of the things I really do love about CoSo ... that I can be myself without fear and death threats ... it's sad that I even have to say that that has been my experience expressing my thoughts and philosophy of life on other platforms ... actual death threats that warranted police investigation even.
It's nice to be among people who value positive thoughts and engagement and self-reflection. ❤️

Death threats are NOT OK jeeze.
I suppose there are other people who have experienced that, and it's no wonder peole are a little jittery. Holy crap. I'm so sorry.
Just.... trying to hold you and anyone who's had that happen to them in a super safe bubble. 💜 🤗
@janallmac Oh I had so many ... you have no idea. Terrifying. When I was running my magazine even in the early 2000s someone sent me a dead animal in the mail with threats ... people are unwell ... and to have such EXTREME responses to something so benign like a film or television review, opinions on books or video games or just philosophy quotes indicates deep mental illness. People need help and social media just makes mental health issues worse for many.
@thewebrecluse That's awful.
Dang. I mean. I've had my feelings hurt on occasion, what can I say, I'm human, but mailing people dead animals is an extremely extreme messed up response that I cannot really comprehend. 🤯 Dude. No words.
@janallmac My life - online and off - has been filled with (starting with my family) people who are so unwell and in need of help and healing.
I have been on the receiving end of so many people's undiagnosed or untreated mental illness since birth.
I have been "protecting my peace" and making conscious decisions about my own wellness since an early age and that continues on today. It's helped me to heal and become a better person for those around me.
