I am sitting at my art table, which is right next to a window.

I have my windows open to enjoy the cool breeze and the happy sounds of birds outside

As I was working (finishing an art project) the sounds of chirping became suddenly louder--I turned to see a female cardinal sitting on branch *just* outside my window--she was staring back at me!

Her partner was also there and for a few moments I felt like a happy innkeeper

Dolly Parton's father never learned to read, so she started a foundation to send books to poor kids. Her Imagination Library now reaches children around the world and will soon have mailed a *quarter of a billion* books.

Dolly Parton = national treasure ♥

Good morning, CoSo!

It's not your responsibility to live up to an 'identity,' whether it's one that you've chosen or one that's been foisted on you.

Real personal, individual identity is so much more complex than any set of pigeonholes, no matter how large, can possibly capture. Don't always be trying to modify and limit who you are in order to fit into somebody's boxes. Maybe you're this or that, but maybe you're not and you sloppily slosh back and forth between categories. That's all good.

This article had some surprises for me!

Good people of CoSo?

This is just a loving reminder that your brains have not evolved to cope with the stimuli of online environments.

It does you no good to be immersed in images of destruction or harm, particularly if you are not in a position to help.

Stay informed, but take breaks. Look at the sky. Attend to local concerns where you CAN make a difference.

It doesn’t help the world or you if you are chronically destabilized by online content.

🙏💙
