Sunshiny greetings, Reader,
I have a couple of new posts on the blog for you!
Also, I'm reminding you about a couple of classics that I happen to love.
Happy clicking, and happy reading, MWAH!
Good ol' dirt
First up, I was thinking about how most of my readers are over fifty, and wowza, what a different world we grew up in than the new generations (never mind the sheer scope of changes we've been a part of).
For one thing, we now have more than one generation who's never lived without a "device" in their hand or without being under constant surveillance—and who see nothing wrong with this, nor do they feel cheated of privacy and just plain old alone time.
I've also been on a love-everyone, respect-everyone, peace-on-earth, live-and-let-live kick lately, especially in this election season atmosphere, ohmygosh.
My sweetheart and I were joking about getting an election sign for the yard, but instead of a candidate's name, it says:
"VOTE for whoever you want"
Maybe we should have some printed.
So here's a new post on the blog about figuring out how to be a loving person when there are a lot of people we don't like, let alone love.
Bonus with the above new blog post: The stock image I found (I used Deposit Photos) is someone's hand-painted signe that says:
"Don't be a dick, love every1"

Good ol' respect
Here are two of my favorites about respect, which I think is one of the keys to human connection. We simply can't make progress as a human collective trying to wake up our consciousness if we keep trying to control each other.
And check out my Instagram—I've managed to film myself hanging clothes on the line for one of my reels. Never thought I'd do that. Go see what you think.
That's it for today, shiny Reader...
Thanks very much for being on the other side of the screen today—I appreciate you
Stay shiny, my friend,
Coco
