C.E.S. - Why I do it

(~*~)

Hello,
   Some have asked why I started my 3 major projects/ "business initiatives"... So I'm "spilling the beans". 
=
WHO
As an Individual :
   I care about Life being positive, and try to promote/ help preserve what is pure & good. For myself, my children, their children, and our globe as an entity of it's own ("Mother Nature"). 
+
As an Artist/ Community Member: 

   Inspirations surround me, like a blanket on a cold stormy night.

 My projects/ creations are my assistants, to pass on my thoughts into my existence.

   I care to grow positively along the way; and spread the love too. All while meeting new friends. Who knows, some may become close/ true friends, as possible collaborators/ resources in our arts & culture community. I have become a "community builder" (both online & off), with my volunteering efforts since 2009.
WHY

Along adventures in my life's journey, I have discovered many-a-disturbing facts.

Among them...
1. Our resources for "independent"/ creative thinking and what's known as "common sense", seems to be depleting/ disappearing.
   My '3Cs' (creativity, collaborations, and community building) efforts started; as my 3 major projects/ "business initiatives" went online. As resources/ creative outlets they enabled supporting those around me (including enablers), as well as my own ideas. All are welcome to share, join me/ us on projects, or invite me/us to join them.
 &
2. There are still continual attempts in society, to suppress women.
   Trying to "do something about it", with my support for creative women. A project with a friend years ago started the fruition of our name for this, while another friend's visit years later started our first official website with me! 
I/ We are happy to support creative women in their efforts.
+
An excellent example - I can't let the memory of it "die"!
Tamara Minns, owned a shop that was "legendary" in honouring and attempting to aid artisans of all kinds, from all over Canada! It was called "Rare Funk", and it was a huge contributor & support to our arts & culture community. 
They are both greatly missed, among many community members.

For more about Tamara Minns & "Rare Funk": My Blog & Rare Funk on Facebook.

+

As an "Ideas Gal"/ Entrepreneur:   
   With projects under way since 1985 or earlier, I have yet to encounter a lack of ideas. As I  expanded into our digital age with an online presence, it quickly grew into 3 completely different directions from there. I made the one that all "branched out" from as my "house" for them all. Official with a name of it's own, it uses the same initials as my real name - this way any copyrights for it/ me cover both (so was my intent).
More Information:  Need 2 Know    

+

Since then, I changed the name for a better/ more attuned to my ideas/ projects better. Now called " Wild Collab World ", and is sometimes referred to/ known as " Cosmic Pirates Productions ". 

Online presences seem to be taking on one or the other, more than anything else. 

My most used social media are:

YouTube: Cosmic Pirates Productions; @Wild Collab World 

Instagram: Wild_Collab_World; @My name

Facebook:

Profile

Pages: Chris S' Projects, Wild Wicked World,  Wild Wicked Women - Creative Collective, and Cosmic Pirates Productions 

My Groups: Wild Wicked World/ W3 - Earth, and Rock 'N ' Roll Friends 

Groups I Contribute to: Me(n)tal Health And Music, Dance Events in Southern Ontario, Niagara Goth, Let's Talk About Gothic Fashion, Witches of Wortley Dance Troupe, and a few others randomly.

TikTok: TrishT.Dish1369; @Cosmic Pirates Productions
=
My Goals for each:
Try to help to "spread the love"/  promote Life positives, and build community. I find it can also promote independent thinkers and thinking, present/ preserve "good role models" for all generations, and generally "do good". As creative outlets/ multifunctional resource spaces, and for my/ our "grand ideas", learning resources, and a space to brainstorm together like a "virtual" office!, and of course for sharing our activities/ events, and products/ services. For free, so feel free. (^&^)

Online presences:

Other than what's listed above: List by request.

"Continuous Construction" is ongoing here, as are self improvement attempts throughout Life.

My Random Add - RE: Going more "green":

2. My 'O.A.D.' (Since 1985; est. 1996 or earlier)

  (a.k.a. Overall Appearance Designing)

* My "passion for fashion" started in Elementary school, as I liked to change appearances so as to not "fit in" with the crowd. I liked the originality and the creative processes.

* Now my '4-Step Process' to prepare for "public" appearances, activities/ events, and holidays.

Includes: 

   Alterations, co-ordinations, loaning (sometimes giving), and preparations assistance throughout the

 years - styles vary.
