Some days are harder than others.  Warm up painting this a.m.
Get up.
Keep moving forward.

Watch this.. and decide if you're going to buy anything today.  Gonna shop Amazon?
This will not change until people STOP allowing it to happen.
STOP spending... it won't take long for them to correct this if everyone STOPPED BUYING.

Are you aware- there is already a lawsuit  regarding price gouging?

These huge companies.. only companies because of the consumers THAT SUPPORT them, are stealing from the consumers that support them. Just one example.

Not one day goes by lately where I'm not reading about some famous brand that's now been proven to mislead the consumer & often has ingredients that .. causes cancer.  

Are you going to continue to feed these beasts - - are you going to continue to pay for your poison? 
Stop, encourage others to stop.. and they will change - once they see their profits drop.  Perhaps.

Enjoy this day The Lord has made! 
Go create something. 

Patterns.. are super relaxing to create! Mindless painting fun, just blobs turned into bears soon turned  into business cards! I was excited to see - how they cut out, I just used a big cutter, not stressing over placement

I needed some business cards and decided just to make some. That's them above, pre cut. I'll write my name and contact info on the back - and each card becomes a free tiny original. I include them with art and when asked I have this. I've come to a decision I'll share. The only info going on this card is my existing www , the rest if anyone is interested, will figure out soon enough. No phone number  (I RARELY ever speak on my phone).. no e mail.  All I need to share is this site here, as all info is here'.  Just incase IG charges  for their service. WHY do we have to pay them to 'verify' our accounts? Just another cash cow. They entice us to sign up, then change the rules as they CHOOSE as we go along, and hooked - just like any other DRUG, people just pay.  People pay for a service they would not have - without us.  Nope.

I painted all 3 at once so each could dry in between. I was pleased with the final results and 0 cost to me other than time & supplies I already have. I cut them on my big cutter- I bought long ago and stressed over the price- this cutter has paid for itself many times over. I made each card 2 x 3.5  and didn't have a lot of scrap.  10 cards easily, from each page.  Now I have over 30 sweet little business cards!  The hardest part was writing my name on the back.

This morning, my knee - reminded me - Be gentle today! We re all early birds and our chores already done before it gets too hot. This day feels heavy and arthritis is making itself known. I'm planning my next big art and that can be done outside.  Yesterday, I mentioned God is particularly fond of artists, lol  God also mentions we are to teach others our crafts, gifts... etc.  I might not be able to share actual art- but hopefully I've inspired someone today to 'go old school' & create some business cards.

This was not new to me, I've been making  original cards for decades,  I had one woman tell me, she loved my card so much and carried it forever in her wallet, it made her chuckle (it was a simple cartoon) and it was why she contacted me months later to commission some work. Have Faith, when God wants you & your creations seen they will be -  until then you can just go and enjoy the creation process!  

I hope you are able to keep your cool on this glorious summer day! Physically & mentally. 
​Enjoy the day The Lord has made!  Check out my Bear Bus cards! Love bears all things.. including business cards!

Above- so.. I'm comparing word for word, the KJV and the Ethiopian bible  - why you might ask? It's FASCINATING!
Mostly - it is word for word.. but occasionally one is changed up and - it's significant words.  What journey - my bible journey has been. First we read it - out of obligation (usually as kids) and really- what kid reads it seriously? No doubts SOME but probably very few.  I don't know about other cultures. 

Then I myself started reading it again with the knowledge it was written by men' , and truthfully I might have read it with 'attitude'.. Phhhhbt... men.  Popes - ended removed parts of the bible they don't want us aware of, like the fact Jesus tells us - we don't need a religion - or church' to worship or know Jesus or God.. it's in each of us.  Then I read (a suggestion form someone) the actual making of the bible -history - wow. Ive read how we've been manipulated, lied to and the bible used to condemn and control -if you let it.  IF you don't read it, you won't know... the bible is our best self help book available. Always was & always will be.  When I finally read it again to read it, study and be curious by it- it became a passion... one I can get enough of.  I have several bibles now, my favourite collection'.  My goal - dream is for a old BIG bible that they use to have in churches with illustrations for all to view- they cost millions.  That Soccer viking - that even has my attention lol -  just bought  a book to donate so all Norway can read it.  No wonder he has everyones attention -a  beast with a heart & brains, it appears.

A sign/show of faith that has concerned me the past few days; I watched the funeral in Israel for whom ever Trump just apparently 'took out'.   You want to SEE 'FAITH', go watch hundreds of thousands  ALL dressed in black, (bigger than any protest Ive seen) mourn and carry a coffin through the streets - more than I've ever seen for any Canadian or American "leader" - while at the same time chanting Trumps death.  Yikes.  It doesn't take long to realize this' has escalated.  They are also promising not one American solider will be left alive to return home.  The Faith those people display is POWERFUL, I have not been able to get the image out of my head.  I know the power of prayer.  Faith is nothing to fool around with, not anyones. These people have lived daily for centuries 'praying' in cultures, known for believing & beheading... for Faith. Fact.  I doubt there's any turning back at this point. I pray  we figure it out without the loss of MORE - more fighting wars they did not start, for money they will never see, by governments PROVEN not to care about veterans as much as they do profits. 

Artists - you were created to create! The bible tells us so - God tells us- the Spirit of GOD was put IN US! To help us create like the creator! Especially when designing the Ark & tabernacle for the Lord. Gods favourite wood is Acacia. Did you know - it's the hardest of hard woods & weather resistant.  I want a little alter made for m Jesus and Mary statue, I've asked Norm to make it with acacia wood.  The KJV bible states... to use workmen or skilled designers',  when creating the Ark, the Ethiopian bible states...craftsmen in all the work and artistic designers'.    Exodus 35.35.    Just words'... never.   
Our creator wants us to CREATE! We ALL have the spirit of god placed in us- the spirit of creativity. 
We have Jesus in us all...   Have faith - if you don't others certainly DO!   Read your bible , while you can... absolutely the best book(s) I have ever read. 

Norm brought me home a HUGE piece of foam to create something.   
Today - I will ponder what. I'll ask Jesus for guidance. 
​People better decide their faith - or someone else's will be forced on them. 

What a perfect morning - clear beautiful blue skies- not a plane streak to be seen... yet.
It has been the best day of the summer thus far. Thank you Lord.  Not including world news.  Anyway..

On Friday while sitting for dinner Norm turns and asked me : Do you know what day it is?
I replied: Friday. 
He then informed us, 6 years I've been here! & 34 years married. Same date. I forgot both. lol
That's a good thing- I don't want 'gifts' - I want to be treated properly. 34 years, with gratitude instead of grumpy- hahah Says every woman married over 30 years (or less)...   Anyway.
 
Wow, 34 years with this same human.  I don't even know..  if divorce was easy, we just might be. 
As it is.. we are not.  I just said to Storm last week - "if your dad didn't show remorse and try to make up for the crap..."  he'd be gone.  So, there's that.  He's also a hard worker. I get mad for him rarely taking time off.
He also is very ... engine smart' &  I have considered myself fortunate for his abilities to fix & build anything & everything,  so where many of our friends & family over the years who's items he often repaired  or built, at my suggestion.  

So, you do.. you forgive the stuff that is forgivable. So today, we are still...   lol. 34 years & 2 days.. so far so good.
No one knows what tomorrow holds!  All we can do is live one day at a time & thank the Lord for it.
In every way.  The more I see of the world currently - the more I give thanks! 6 years, and the first - more or less on my own.  I have loved every second, we all have.  With God you can do all things!  34 YEARS. 
Including move - when everyone else says' you better stay. You are not a tree.  move.

I can't hug every tree.. but they all know - I want to.
God knows how grateful I Am to be here, closer to Jesus, my forest walking buddy.
​My everywhere walking buddy. 

34 years...  Norm has never been a womanizer (probably because he fears for his life - lol), never a drinker', never calls in sick' ever...  and does not physically beat me - albeit in 34 years the thought has crossed both our minds, no doubts. 
Soul mates.. are not about fun, sex, happy joy joy - your true soulmate is here to test you, to help you reach that next level, faster.  Good and bad & I can't deny - nor does he- creatively' we make a great team.  We created Storm. heeheehee.
I absolutely believe that, soul mates struggle'... Norm has give me a Turbo boost, to the next level.  Funny not funny.
Eventually, see all things for Good, because they usually are.   God wants Good for us ALL.

Have Faith.    More a bout Faith tomorrow.
Enjoy this day the Lord has made! 
​

Moose Cutout. for The Stoner games cup.    A moose- this was a challenge - how to moose - or rather - how to antler? What's a moose without antlers? Antlers - won't fit in the car.. to be or not to be? Of course a moose needs antlers! 
Shout out to Norm and Storm who both helped with this moose - so I could do it in record time - two days u till PU.  Mission Mervin the Moose accomplished!

Mervin (as I called him) the moose is already there! The stoner games cup has started.  I don't go to anything anymore but I still like to ..contribute when I can.  I was appreciative of the VIP kit to sample & judge ' which could not have come at a better time! Broken knee..  medicine. I attribute my healing faster to my increase in cannabis & psilocybin, both were in the kit.  There are many days I do not smoke' (bong) cannabis- I just don't feel like it, simple. It's made me realize addiction - is something that effects people differently, it's never been an issue for me to stop cannabis for days, weeks.. months at a time. Perhaps because I don't use it to get HIGH but use it for pain.  Either way - as always all I can do is share this experience. No opiates, no prescribed pain pills - what I already had, as natural as possible & yes, I feel great.  Still tender at times- my body saying: cool it.. and I listen.   My goal is to walk the forest by AUGUST. The dogs are counting on me. 

The stoners cup looks like a fun camp-out weekend, relaxed, good food, people and conversations - add good weed & others- whats' not to enjoy?  There are numerous events for everything, lots to go around and something for everyone, I like the relaxed feel of the Stoners cup.  I'm not a stoner but know a few', to each his own... the last few years on this planet has changed my mind on so much - I don't care what anyone does as long as they don't hurt others. I'm certainly not judging anyone on how they choose to heal.  Sadly, some don't heal, they progress to harder substances, which they usually struggle worse and often die due to.Its a sad situation drug addiction.  

Events of anywise are a lot of work and stress usually before the fun and I realized how much work my friend Kim does for this event every year so I wanted to do something, even if I can't go! Kim has a moose for a mascot for all her advertising so a moose it was!  Holding two samples of Gods natural medicine! Opening his 3d eye.. because - it does.  I hope he makes people smile - his antlers can be taken out for easier storage!  I am enjoying making these so much - I have ordered a tool to help.  I have a few I can show you soon! Also going to other event's this year! 

Do you need a photo prop? Something for a birthday party or baby shower?  Send me a message - I'd be thrilled to help create your perfect accent for your event.  I am getting better with each one and love the challenge of doing something different!  I hope they have a wonderful time at The Stoners Cup!  

Btw... The woman who runs the cup- Kim.. she's Athenes mom, mom.  
Mervin was also a tiny extended thank you to Kim & the Universe for bringing me this cheeky, funny, smart big baby!

Enjoy this day the Lord has made! 

Frog chilling with a secret.  This little frog is a match stick holder made from a small recycled mustard jar.  Shout out to DAS & creativity! I love DAS air drying clay- I remember my first pack.  I was given some for Christmas and every now and then I decide it's a 'clay day! You know it's a good day physically -if it's a clay day, it means my hands don't hurt.
 
You know this tiny frog is no masterpiece but it is indeed a work of art, created with  love & joy & some frustration, making the frog all the more appreciated, now completed.  I hope I encourage someone to break out the DAS, I bet it's been decades for some. Creativity is declining (not mine, in general) & it's not rocket science.. if people can ask a machine to create for them.. they are.  Comparison on social media is also not helping. 
Here we are again - use it or lose it applies.

Do you know what helps? Forcing yourself to try new crafts'. Break out the DAS! Cover something old & give it new use & life - or make someone a gift. The next clay project I saw on instagram - a gift.  I do more clay in the summer because my hands work better.  It would have been very easy to give up clay all together - anyyone would take a look at my hands and understand why - not one finger bends - it has given my art a new look, lol. I see joy. I see accomplishment -as small as it might seem. I see a joyful few hours spent doing something I love, looking at leaves not  reels. I love - ending up with something that  is also useful.  This frog holds matches.. the spark is inside - JUST like us!   Do it!  Make something clay - be creative.  I let it dry & painted with acrylic & clear coat of MOD podge, another craft staple I've had for years.  You don't need that much.. start by ripping up an old magazine, printed photos, mod lodge it to a box. Something simple... just create.  It's satisfying, relaxing and good for the brain!

Know what else I made today .. a MOOSE! I just looked over at him and smiled. A very last minute moose- more on the moose soon, a fun little photo prop I decided to whip up.. lol created it in record time- 2 days.  A few things I made just before I broke my knee, are for events' now or soon taking place, I'll share after they have been displayed.

Today, the Lord created another tiny human!  Probably a few!  A new baby to love & raise with love & hope... and a childhood, as all babies deserve.   To be welcomed with LOVE.  How awesome is God. 

The least we can do is create someone show our gratitude.  Love creates. Send out creative energy into the universe!
Buy your kids some DAS! It is a great summer outdoor craft - let them roll up a ball and stick stuff in it- feathers, twigs, rocks, shells - call it Summer memory creature 2026 ' start a new tradition!  A stick porcupine'.. the possibilities are endless.  With God anything is possible. 

While taking these photos the SWEETEST little woodpecker a baby - seen in the photo below, came and sat watching me. 
How awesome is God, sending me that tiny art critic to 'chirp in my ear!  

The other day I grabbed 3 small cheap canvas and decided what ever image showed up on my iPad- (photo folder) I would paint. A cat, Gross beak & Smokey.   It's important to paint when you don't necessarily feel like it. IMO it's the best way & quickest to get out of or avoid a 'block'. It's important to do many things when you don't feel like it- like exercise, this was exercising my mind when it wanted to nap.  I also used a cheaper paint to see what it was like - better than anticipated.
It's actually proven that doing things you don't want to helps the brain grow.  The bible tells us to do ALL things as if for God.. this mindset make everything, easier.  

​Smokey is also an editorial.. who's fed up with being blamed for ruining the world - for using plastic straws - while those in power suggest they won't think twice about pushing the button. They make us feel bad for using plastic bags - while they blow up rockets. We have to get permits for EVERYTHING and it takes $$ & time.. have you seen how quickly AI data centres go up? Even with entire communities stressing "they don't want them..." I'm not falling for it anymore and I'm sure not going to feel guilty for using a plastic bag - ever again.  Some "new conspiracy theories" suggest data centres are not using water but storing it.  Water is liquid GOLD. I don't know if that is true but I know people are very concerned about Ai data centres and water. Everyone SHOULD educate themselves before - they can't.
​
There are numerous actual accounts from people NOW living near an AI centres, talks of water bills rising, electricity bills rising, excess noise, heat and more -all appear to be very valid points, ignored by the owners/builders and it is expected to increase.. so - the heat that comes off these places- obvious to all so how dare any POLITICIAN try to twist any individual.. like individuals in the US being charged for saving rain water off their own property- you know like Olivia Chow wanted to tax homeowners for rain - how did that go over - IT did NOT.  BUT let NOT forget they tried. Just like they are trying to privatize water... NOW. The Ontario government, led by Doug Ford, has passed legislation that allows for the creation of corporations to manage water and wastewater services, which raises concerns about potential privatization of water services. Critics argue that this could lead to higher costs and reduced public oversight, despite government claims that it is not a privatization effort. Current Ontario Premier Doug Ford is embarking on a plan that will effectively privatize aspects of the province’s water systems, with potential risks to our drinking water.

​To privatize water - is a crime against humanity. To make water available only to those who can afford it - is criminal.
Don't think that will happen to us - in the land of lakes- the country with the most fresh, clean beautiful drinking water... get real. Heres the thing... if it's happening I'd rather Canada & Canadians profit than others.. like Nestle' - REMEMBER this? I wonder if it's still happening.  Anyway.. the government has successfully made Canadians feel guilty for all sorts of things from using paper strays & plastic bags, recycling everything - or else yet we watch the opposite for those with MONEY & power - that is adding to Canadians stress and it is a form of emotional abuse by our government- something they appear very good at lately.  Stop falling for it, do you part but never feel guilty over using a fucking plastic bag anymore - when these corporate criminals do AS they please with little to '0 concern for anyone but themselves & bank accounts. 
​
I created these 3 to get me out of. slump and it did & now I have 3 paintings I'm going to give away, for fun.  A day when I did not feel like creating - but pushed myself .. lessons were learned. Do it. 

Today I get to paint clay & making something BIG for the Stoner Cups games.. more on that next!
​Enjoy this day the Lord has made! 

Yay! Yesterday I broke out the clay.. I'm recycling another mustard jar and a 'Frangelico bottle!  I love creativity from companies- remember buddha bottles? Honey in a bear jar.. I like Frangelico in coffee, it's been around as long as I can remember and a bottle usually last a few years. This one - I made sure to share' so I could get at it.  Have any old bottles? I'll take them!  The other a transformed mustard jar - big enough to hold matches with a frog on a mushroom lid! 
I was super excited to start to paint today but they are still not dry, I guess from the rain - it's a bit damp, so I'll have to be patient another day - that's o.k. I have Jesus waiting only desk to be finished.

I've not ventured into the forest but can see mushrooms from the sidelines.. & thankfully, our mushroom wine cap garden storm planted last year is producing! As well as Shiitake mushrooms and some oyster mushrooms.. My garden this year (because It's usually my job) didn't get the usual 'attention' it gets and pickings look slim (already)  so growing mushrooms as well is reassuring.  Yesterday Trump mentioned a national emergency - a food shortage.  We all knew it was coming, because of fertilizer -or rather the lack of it.  No matter if Trump declares it, Canadian  prices rise, more.   How does your garden grow?  I'm already planning for next years garden. From what I've been reading you might want to stock up on rice, coffee, flour etc. It's not this harvest- it's the next that is concerning people.   Gardening  is a skill, not as easy as it appears so perhaps now if a good time for people to figure out -how to grow, on balconies, counters.. where ever you can.  Humans are creative, resourceful and will continue to figure it out.  

I've been reading about being creative- and facts are in - being creative  is good for you & your brain! I know. 
​Sketching, writing, using your hands to create- it's time to try a new hobby if you don't have one!  I know a few who garden a a hobby but don't do much in the winter, maybe start a garden journal, press your summer flowers for winter art, bookmark or card making!  Our bodies need more than food' the word of God should be our first food', faith in  Jesus is FAITH in each other. Faith in Jesus is faith in yourself.  I finally made a designated Bible focus desk, a place where I can sit, compare bibles, make notes, write quotes and the bibles are always OPEN - waiting for me to continue on the most important journey -I'll ever take.   

Enjoy this day the Lord has made! Enjoy the wine - the fat, the food - everything in moderation - Give THANKS for what we have, now & remember  there's no point stressing about tomorrow- it has enough problems of it's own.
Go make something!  Have you seen those viral frozen rice paper snacks? I made them and we like them - super easy & very refreshing- I'll included a few photos below but we are enjoying them and I make them regular.  Enjoy!

Happy Canada Day!Yes, I know I am late.. but frankly, it wa too perfect of a day to sit at my computer. 
I didn't paint anything special but remembered I recently did this 'Canadian version of Winnie the Pooh! lol
Gouache on white.

I have so much to be thankful for.. I'm walking. lol - with no pain & no foreseeable knee replacement in the near future. 
I tell ya- I don't know if it is my increased psilocybin intake but I am amazed MYSELF.  I had 2 large doses these past couple of weeks- both in chocolate form from my VIP Stoner games kit that I enjoyed immensely.  Albeit- I had a crying session - I was not expecting but felt like years had been lifted afterwards. I know for a few - this can sometimes happen - because it needs to.  A restart, realignment. Thank You God for your HEALING medicine. Storm is in the best physical shape he's ever been  in & busy & inspired .. and inspiring. Norms screening in the bird deck' so we can sit and have our coffee and has learned to cook & helped more - since our last 'incident'.  The dogs are all great- not taking off, listening to mom and being 'OH so patient' about not exploring the forest - you know.. they only go in with me, they won't with Norm or Storm.  I just sat and looked at the trees and enjoyed the DAY the Lord made- no stress about meals, company or entertaining.  It was a very peaceful Canada Day..  Jesus gave me his Peace by recognizing my own. 

Jesus expects us to forgive no 7 times but 77...  lessons learned, when forgiveness granted - it levels all of us up - like it or not.  Amen. The sooner you forgive the sooner you can move on and create again.

It was hot but overcast, lots of dragonflies so few mosquitos & we did NOTHING special - making it special. lol
No company, no special meal.. just a day to rest, relax & enjoy.  I love Canada. I do not care for our politician (s) and the decisions they are making, money they are giving - The Ukraine is NOT in a recession, btw. Scarney making decisions that don't appear very Canadian - far from it. I don't have to explain Canada to any Canadian', we all have eyes to see, and the last few years have been difficult to watch.  Have Faith  - I am absolutely seeing the tables turn! Regardless of how LITTLE our 'news' shows us. Do you know how many have lost faith in any of our news outlets?  We are being blocked and lied to.
 
Canadians ARE aware of what's happening elsewhere and are not going to let it happen here. I know, you know. 
I keep reading bots or Americans (lol) post 'Canadians are pussies' and I chuckle. Canadians are so far from pussies you have no idea.  We are patient people - that's what comes from growing up in 5 feet of snow 1/2 the year. We tolerate what many can't, we master what many won't.  Are you aware of the Uk rape crisis.. good fucking luck pulling that shit here.  Canadians are not pussies and I can feel the energy shifting - friendly until you fuck around and find out.  Wait & see.. Our trucker convoy bullshit taught us much - the Supreme Court recognizing OVER REACH & abuse by our  own 'LEADERS'.. the people supposably that work for Canadians, actually we all know Scarney works for these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwTxjZK17bs <<< pay attention.
Pay attention - SPEAK UP or you will pay$$$$$$ for the rest of our lives.
Dough Ford want us to pay for our water, if I recall.   

Canada once known for our friendliness will prove we are/were friendly - because we chose to be.  
Canadian choose kindness... until we don't.  
Before we were taxed to death, made hungry, sick and stressed about rent, bills, food  all the time as we see 'others'  being treated differently. Canadian children are now TAUGHT to questions their sexuality' in elementary schools and taught - they should feel GUILTY for crimes (perhaps) commented centuries ago WITH NO ACTUAL "PROOF" of some suggested incidents.  NO.  

Hey! Want to SEE what happens when you 'fuck around with a babies gender???'
Watch this Canadian NIGHTMARE that NONE of us should ignore or forget or forgive...:       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj5-6EkvAMc

Our children are NOT guilty of crimes committed by generations before them, & they should NOT be punished - for it NOW. That is indeed what's happening - emotionally made to feel guilty for the actions of others - SINCE WHEN? WWJD?

I love Canada & I grew up in the melting pot Toronto and it was AMAZING! We celebrated- as I kid my mom took me to the multicultural fair every year & we loved it- the food, the fun, the music - the passports - that was before the government brought in known CRIMINALs to destroy Canada... and all around the world.  An intentional act of destruction -FACT - read all about it- Agenda 2030. 

Canadians pussies?? Most Canadians I know - were literally thrown into a COLD, DARK, big fish filled lakes by our own parents when we were just little kids (toddlers) who couldn't swim - lol.   A 'Canadian tradition' for generations of families.   lol pussies!?  HAHAHA jokes on you who underestimate Canadians. Wait & see.

Happy Canada Day! Stand PROUD - we are one of the most successful and educated countries in the world - friendly, kind, courteous & courageous!  Of Canada, thank you. Enjoy this day (a day late) the Lord has made & every day.  Who needs an excuse for "extra maple syrup!!" - Not me, everyday is Canada Day.
 

Jesus &the Cubs..  I LOVE painting Jesus.. This Jesus, my Jesus.   
I texted the other day - I don't feel worthy to paint Jesus - after seeing this amazing painting a woman did (very realistic) of Jesus.   Then I ate that mushroom treat -lol & I thought about that statement.  Jesus LOVES my Jesus.
Jesus Loves that I love to sit and paint & ponder Jesus! When not painting I'm reading or watching & learning. 

What is important to you?  My faith, love & appreciation to God is what is most important, to me.. all else comes next. 
Just like spreading flowers down the path, Jesus spreads LOVE with every moment, love like butterflies!  What can I say, it's selfish of me - but sitting and painting the above Jesus - brought me pure joy, that easily. Ask yourself today:  Are you going  to sit & stew' or stress or are you going to enjoy yourself?  My next - Jesus on the mountain, already started - I'm excited to finish!

It's Sunday - devote today to God, in mind if not all else. I'm sharing our favourite, easy chicken bake- great left over in a wrap too. It tastes like a lot of work and a simple salad side is enough. I'm going to be trying some rice paper recipes - they have so many on social media - all look tasty & fun. 

Great news! Regina had the "Call to prayer" play over loud speakers the other day.. many Canadians were NOT pleased about it - so much so the police warned against saying anything as it could & WOULD be deemed hate speech. That's our Canada currently - because of Carney. Speak up and you will be intimidated & threatened. Voice your opinion in Canada & you can be legally harassed & possibly charged by the police.   ANYWAY.. due to public backlash- it has not happened again.  Do you know - one of the reasons Church bells stopped ringing- CONSIDERATION for others, for neighbours. 

The irony of all this diversity & inclusion' appears  - during the process of Canadians wanting others to feel included - Canadians are be pushed around & excluded (especially from jobs & free benefits). IF all inclusive - let's start saying the Lords prayer in schools - AGAIN. Lets start ringing church bells..  Lets be AS faithful & SHOW our devotion to Christ.Our Father - Holy is your name! Let's start praying the 'Our Father' over loud speakers - 5 times a day and watch how fast there would be an uproar from those we WELCOMED to our HOME. I want to make it clear, I don't have a problem with muslim people, I've known and been friends with a few. I am 100% agains Sharia Law.. and you should educate yourself if not aware.  TheLiberals (proud liberals in particular), are in for a reality check on what Sharia law thinks about PRIDE and homosexuality. Sharia law generally prohibits homosexuality, viewing it as a sin, and in many Muslim-majority countries, it is criminalized with severe penalties, including the death penalty in some cases.  If you don't think this would make a comeback - you are naive.

Time to paint & explore the garden & Thank The Lord for this day!
Jesus asks us to LOVE each other - NOT each others laws or Gods OR religion. 

Rise & Shine! Happy Saturday! 
I was able to get out on the deck yesterday, I even attempted the driveway, very slowly, then thought:  no, take it easy Flash'.  Pain is only experienced when 'I push it' & our bodies let us know: you're pushing it.  I've learned to listen. Not being able to do stuff has exposed the gift of realizing how much - I do, do.. although some might not think so.  A lot more than paint... and now I have to let it go,  decide if it's worth arguing over and learn from these lessons. Others learn too. 

I am not going to stop promoting psilocybin'.. the other day I was in pain & feeling sorry for myself - as we all do from time to time.. watching the lilacs come and go - without getting out, as the world turns..   Anyway, I had a psilocybin treat in my VIP StonersGame kit & IT was SO tasty.. I would want to eat them - not medicated. A few hours later...  like a flower bursting open  - I was made aware.. it was more than a micro-dose.  Once my mind realized - I panicked for 1/2 a second then I thought: Don't be silly.. Go with the flow, cause it feels great - 0 pain... in my face or leg.  Just looking at trees created an intense sensation of  peace & appreciation, tears started flowing. Gratitude I could feel bursting from the inside out.  The Jesus in me, shining, reminding me of what's actually important.   Gratitude for everyone & everything.  Then I read a new study about helping with pain - I can hardly keep up with all the scientific proof finally being shared about psilocybin.  People are taking psilocybin for pain. Some, along with pain medication, report the pain medication works better with psilocybin. I KNOW it works for pain, tried & well tested. I can't remember the last time I even took an aspirin. 
​
God provides. Always has & always will.  We just have to SEEK and stop being led - by those concerned more with profits- than people. NOW they suggest - perhaps LESS treatment might be better for breast cancer patients- GO FIGURE!!?  NOW, how many women have already suffered UNNECESSARILY!? & still will.  It made no sense - then WHY THE DO IT??  PLEASE educate every woman you know on this.  

ENJOY the DAY the LORD has made.  If we can still see, feel, find and share JOY - WE WIN.

Evil exposes itself.. Scarney will be gone 2027 - just like Staler, Scammer.. Starmer. 
Have Faith.  

Jesus meets a black bear!  8 x 11 gouache on white.

I LOVE painting Jesus.. the bookmarks gave me a boost.
This is my Jesus - happy & loving and flowers follow him where ever he goes, all the miracles we don't see.. he creates them, simply by walking. How I imagine a bear would be - THRILLED to meet his creator!  Did you watch the last NDE I mentioned.. I have watched many and they all say the same (more or less), except for the few that go to hell... yikes. No thanks.  Many see Jesus & God - not seen as a 'person' but felt as overwhelming light- filling every pore, and unexplainable sensation of love & peace.  PEACE be with you = Jesus gives us 'HIS Peace, because he knows how valuable it is, how much we need it.

People have not been feeling peaceful toward our own system M.A.I.D - with many becoming immensely  concerned AS every Canadian should BE, after learning about a man - assessed by a "Dr." outside a coffee shop was euthanized. WTF.. there's more.. of course.  MAID has already, proudly stated how much money they are saving offing older, retired white people death- rather than offer any quality palliative care.  Have you read about Nicholas Jordan Wagter, a Vancouver researcher and activist, has become the centre of a growing online firestorm after videos of his involuntary psychiatric detention under Canada's Mental Health Act spread across social media. It's a little concerning that it's hard to find anything on him in Canadian news.  MAID has decided to hold off on allowing MAID for mental illness- NO WONDER, Dr.s outside coffee shops handing out death deals? Tell me, they don't get a 'cut back'.  What about organ donation? Does MAID make a profit? IF SO shouldn't that money go to the donors family or at least pay for the basic funeral service? Watch this Documentary.. then at least be informed - not just "SOLD" on the idea of MAID:
MAID. The DARKSIDE of Canadian Compassion.  Many have already used the service & I pray they did give it much consideration & discussion with God.  Also try psilocybin. 

Life still gets us down, yesterday I was thinking about cops being shot and it's never o.k., they are parents, children.. they might have children waiting at home for them. We have seen how the UK has -IS using police as props more or less as a wall, a human wall to divide the hate from the hated and they are getting hurt in the process. I also believe not all of them want to do what they are being forced to do. Killing them is never o.k.   I've had many police friends and help over the years, I know there is corruption but it starts at the top- look at Carney - wow, his latest slip up was to say MPs are just useful for voters. WOW.. all those recent traitors' the crossovers - you destroyed your reputations - now hated by those who voted you in - only to being admitted to being used just for votes... not like your opinions, matters to the New World Oligarchy boss.  I can't even get into the migrant rape gang inquiry in the UK... all who voted - if subjected to what the 250,000 victims were - little children.. perhaps if they were forced to endure what those children did - just ONCE, I bet the laws would change.  What's it going to take to STOP the abuse of children? The destruction of children & childhood?

Life is full of lessons.. also reminders of God glory, the fact that we are becoming aware'.. is a miracle and as bad as it appears - Evil fails. Evil falls. There are many loving parents out there who are doing everything in their power- INCLUDING Prayer to make changes, to keep children safe. People are capturing & punishing those guilty.  I was watching what they expect jail to be like for the recent baby killers.. Yikes, they will pray for death. Thy Will Be Done... on earth & in Heaven, or hell.  Before considering MAID, I also think people should go down the NDE rabbit hole. We are absolutely all here for a reason & God should be the one who decides on when we die - not some quack at a coffee shop. 

Enjoy this day the Lord has made.

Peace be with you!  Knight card for a friend making his first Confirmation! 
A young man I know is making his first confirmation today! The card has much personal meaning to celebrate this significant day.  First, Storm and I giggled as he is not a 'little kid' but a young man, we both made our fist communion as children and I said "won't it be funny if they come out in the line and he's the only tall one?"  heehee, he agreed.  How amazing that he has chosen, of his own free will (not a choice his parents made for him) as a young adult to 'Confirm his LOVE to Christ'. It's powerful.  How many have been confirmed because it was something we did, in school for a celebration after, rarely giving the day or its meaning true thought again... and this decision was made with much consideration, I know. 

It was a long drive and I don't want to 'push it with my leg, as I am already walking more each day but it aches a bit by night - no pain at all sleeping anymore -thank you Lord, but sitting and not bending it is when it hurts so I stayed home.  Storm was up and on his way by 4... that's what friends are for. I picked up my bible to write a 'special' quote on this card but then.. EVERYthing applied, lol which was a very good sign.  Almost every time we communicate I am inspired' by either posts, quotes or prayers he has shared... if anyone is on the right path - it is this young man - all paths lead to God.. his has been made straight.  Will he be tempted? No doubts! Still, I know where his heart is at and I'm confident he's going to do the Lords work -in all ways. It's hopeful knowing we have young men like this, representing the lord.

I noticed a new hockey team up here has a cool knight logo - with a cape with a cross in the upper corner.. yay! 
Christ is King.. perhaps the simplest way to bring back the true 'rainbow' meaning instead of the  current political rebranding, is flooding the world again, with images of Christ, everywhere & in everything.  I'm starting now. 
I actually have 3 Jesus the forest paintings on my desk.. it brings me peace pondering  Jesus - so why not paint him too.
​I'll share Jesus meets a bear tomorrow. 

Enjoy this day The Lord has made!
Anyone being 'confirmed for their LOVE of The Lord' is ABSOLUTELY something worth celebrating! At every age.

Mental health Monday - Good news about MAID.

Walking with Jesus...  heals.  

Good news, for some... hell is waiting for others. 
​
One of Canadas wealthiest predators has been fond guilty of groping and more. convicted at 93. Phhhbt.
What woman reading about that case, doesn't know... more.  Good.  Great.. Another who abused wealth power & women.
absolutely he has done many positive things.. and some nasty too - physically hurting another is never o.k.. Rape is Rape and having billions, doesn't make it o.k.   Neither does being poor.  Good news & move on, theres painting to paint!

Humanity - the MAJORITY, is getting tired of oligarchy (Johhny Harris explains Oligarchy perfectly, interesting watch!) 
and they know it. Why talks of universal income are being had. That and abuse of CHILDREN being taken seriously.. babies are not to be bought and sold like Pokemon. GREAT NEWS! Those two that adopted that baby & abused it -in too many ways to mention have been convicted - Interesting Judge response here if interested in watching, absolutely heart breaking - the bits he does share.  BUT... THAT THEY/IT/THEM, fuck pronouns' 'EVIL humans'....- that is what DEMONS DO & they NEED to be EXPOSED & EVERYONE  that turned a blind eye to that baby.. that is a sin that will be addressed by the Lord.  This is why the conversations need to be had. From this day forward they will live in fear, fear like that baby didn't even comprehend.  Preston is now with God. The tears shed for that infant will be powerful. All children, everyone.
AND.. if parents are more concerned about PRIDE parades ' than  NO. NO adoption baby for you. WTF.
Pride before the fall?  Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. <Guess where that's from.  heehee
Thank You Jesus.  

For those including myself who think - Why did God let that happen to that baby? God gave humans choice.
Brains to think, hearts to think & fee, emotions toexperiencel & the rest of the miracle body to live' as we choose..
devil & demons do the rest. Those two demons KNEW what they were doing was wrong & the world is NOW wiser, we all must choose - even if that means just add that baby to your prayers  rest knowing God will Judge.  Children will be helped... demons exposed and put in hell on earth.  We need to all learn from that painful lesson or the suffering accumulates. 
They' did not hurt me, I have nothing to forgive, I will let it go & move past it & paint in PEACE.
KNOWING Jesus is in control.

As mentioned numerous times before, I have known lesbians & homosexuals my entire life, growing up in Toronto, it was 'normal.  Gay was the term and it was not derogatory. Many words can be used in different ways- depending on who's speaking.   It was simple,  if you had an issue with someone being 'Gay '- you simply didn't hang around. Your' loss.
Any gay friends I ever knew (and maybe - didn't know) were amazing, funny, compassionate & creative & smart and most importantly - could DANCE & dress. lol Priorities of the day. This new "alphabet me" or else was all a plot to put everyone in one group to be hated. & it's worked. It's why I refuse. I will not include people I know/knew  loved, respect, admire... in a group' that is getting a bad rap! Intentionally.  Peoples personal life choices don't involve me- NOT UNTIL ITS BEEN forced in everyones face... far from inclusion. It is  'labeling'... & it is not a group I think many would want to be associated with, currently.  Better to be labeled for being funny, creative, smart, inspiring, helpful, encouraging.. to name a few.

So yes! Good news.. we also need faith restored in the "justice system" after witnessing how the JeffreyEpstein PEDOfiles are full of immensely  wealth demons who did INDEED torture, rape & eat children & infants. Fact.  

It's rainy season.. good time to paint! I'm walking a bit better every day! Yay!
​Thank you Jesus. 3 different paintings of Jesus on the desk today - YAY!!!

Good news Canada...  no, nothing happening about Carney, other than his usual ass kissing, which I don't care to cover.
He will leave Canada so fast -when he has caused the damage he was sent to - heads will spin & Pierre Poilievre  will step in to save the day.. or appear to. He will help with housing, bylaws (cash cows), government overreach, mental health concerns and will help Canadians... and we need it. We are at an all time HIGH (not the good kind) with mental health, depression, anxiety and loss of hope. It is an epidemic.  Facts.  Our birth rates are dropping, that's a for sure sign. Not good.  

I do not have to list the reasons why Canadians are struggling with mental Health - We have people choosing MAID because they can't afford to live. Cant access HELP. They wait longer for an appointment to see a specialist than they do to be qualified to be legally murdered. I don't know what to say to people considering MAID... wait- yes I do:

If you are in that much pain physically, mentally, emotionally where you want to end your life - DEMAND your Dr. approve a mushroom trip, big one. Psilocybin.  Why not try something that IS proven to CHANGE your mind, ease suffering & depression & even change our fears about death... bring us closer to God.  

If you are struggling financially.. I believe Universal income is closer than we know.  They have to... they have created an overwhelming problem and people are at their peak for poking the bear. People are realizing they are overworked, underpaid, taxed to death and  it's not getting better. Go search: Paris today, German riots...  UK Rape..  or how about public beheadings.. Mental Health  around the world is struggling.  Pierre will step in to say the day and make psilocybin easier to access from Dr.s to patients for DEPRESSION. Microdosing by Dr.  because that's the only way brainwashed (by the GOV.) works.. this way they can still make the $.  I'm thrilled! Bring it on!! I KNOW what it does.
I KNOW it heals our hearts. I know, it helps open communication with the creator.  

Actually, I want to share... I was pissed at Trump last week - really, just something he said or did and it got to me.. well I micro dosed x 3 that day due to leg pain and making sure I don't get depressed from not being able to get around- anyway.. I started to think of Trump & the press  making fun of him and his bowel control issues'.. I don't know if true but he is a human being & we all have feelings.  He has done more for Americans (not stuff I necessarily agree with, not my business) it appears than others.. that all seem 'now' to only have been playing parts. He is BUSY. Carney, literally is always bowing down to Trump. Trump has more POWER than Carney, in every way - including his physical presence.  I admit - for 80. he's got more energy than most  80 year olds I know, I rarely get to see the nice clips of him - intentionally not shown by the media...   & sometimes, I think he is very funny.  Somedays I'll admit I laugh with and others at.  That's what psilocybin does, helps me see the humanity in humans. lol  All humans.  With Trump - it was a miracle.

For the bad things he has done, I have 0 control...  God will Judge, so will others. Not my business - not my King Kong.. heeheehee

I have one King  I answer to.
Celebrate this day & medicine The LORD has made!  
​The below image made me lol. 

Rape?!...  what was she wearing?       editorial gouache on white

For as long as I can recall this question has been asked - by police and other people.  What was she wearing?
Was she dressed 'slutty'?   I recall as a kid having someone say to me:  That's what your wearing? Do you want to get raped?
At the same time - I have the memory of being a young girl (probably around 12) wearing a tube top (they were the rage) I hardly had any boobs  BUT a male (older) family member, decided it would be very funny to pull my top down in front of everyone sitting on my grandmas verandah'... as I walked past.  Hahahaha.  I still think of it and remember the shame from that moment. That was sexual abuse, by a older man - for the amusement of himself & others.  Once I had a stranger grab my breast in large store- my aunt Marnie started to yell at him and he ran.. another time I was riding my bike home (16) and an old man on a part bench exposed himself to me.   I wish I could go back in time- I'd call my uncle a dirty pig, I'd started screaming at the pervert in the store myself & I would have got a family member and shown him that old man- to beat up. Maybe IF that happened to that old pig on the park bench - he would have second thoughts about his pastime.. 

You know what, growing up - I bought into it... I agreed. Maybe that's why she was raped.  Her outfit was slutty. Now I know men commonly rape infants and toddlers. I read one man was frustrated because he had trouble removing the 'diaper'.  With age come wisdom (hopefully) and awareness and more time to read the fucking news.  Yes, I've learned a few thing on social media, I at first thought- OMG, I didn't need to know that... then I realized - that attitude is part of the problem. When we don't want to hear the bad' news - or ignore the horrors- because it doesn't involve us or it's not our kids, we help no-one.  The problem has become as atrocious as it is because many think this way.  
Rape is an epidemic, around the world. Go - research statistics about the increase of rapes - everywhere.

What kind of a world allows such evil to thrive? What's happened to a justice system that is FAILING CHILDREN as well as us all.  This demonic act destroys a Childs life forever, if they live, as well as parents, family, friends and even strangers effected. It would be nice if this was not happening but pretending it's not- is part of the problem.  Forever- mentally ill adults (attracted sexually to children) have been placing themselves in situations that allow them access- easily. Like a fucking Dr. in Detroit - who apparently' .. 'allegedly' raped a child and was said to say he wanted to adopt a baby to rape and sexually abuse right from the start to train them. Horrified?  Did you know about the EVIL sick 37 year old teacher - & his partner who sexually abused and killed a 13 month old baby -they adopted? I watched a video where he use to like to deprive this poor baby of even sleep- It make me physically ill to see that tiny confused wee sole struggle & I hope  this evil demon gets death - if not death, I hope he gets tortured in jail.. I hope he dies from an object (take a wild guess) shoved in this throat. Then the LIAR tried to cry and the baby accidentally drowned.  Sadly, there was another case in Georgia, where two LGBTQ icons', men, adopted 2 boys and tortured and raped them.  All under the premise they were going to show that 2 men could adopt and raise healthy, happy children.  How many do we not know about.  I use to think this was o.k... now I have changed my stance. I don't think this should be the case anymore, there needs to be better screening.  Right now if you ask questions or express concern - you are immediately called Homophobic' or shamed for not for being for all this Inclusivity'.  Everyone that was involved with that baby should be HELD accountable, EVERY ONE.  More concerned about hurting  the 'LGBTQ+ community feelings'  bullshit than the actual welfare & lives of INNOCENT, vulnerable children. At this point anyone supporting these drag show in elementary schools and libraries- you are part of the problem. What does a adult man in a dress - usually acting sexually- have to do with our children education.
It's NOT education in indoctrination.

What about the lawyer - with a beautiful family - who's wife set up a camera because the house was being renovated.. only to find out that her husband  'allegedly' was regularly - raping the family dog.  I wish I was joking with this editorial.. dogs, iguanas, dead deer, horses, cats...  are a few known raped creatures.

Let's all HELP today but not asking anymore: What was she wearing?  NEVER again.. educate someone if you hear them say such a stupid remark. It should be illegal for police & judges to ask such a question - at this point we are all educated about this disgusting problem.  It CLEARLY has nothing to do with what anyone was wearing - EVER!
 IT is about an adult(s) (that can NOT control themselves and forcibly sexually abuses another, children & animals.
​They DO NOT belong in society, they belong in jail or in the ground. 

About the drawings.. I did not spend much time on them- it is difficult. I could not stop thinking about this bullshit lie we've all been fed.. NOW obvious to anyone. Now I have to counter draw, Jesus in the forest.  Pray for the children & animals. In Canada- I can go to jail for this opinion.. why do you think that is?  Why do you think they don't want us to have access to all these stories on line- easily to prove with some Seeking.  
Not knowing or asking about these issues is keeping the evil THRIVING.

When will it concern you - when it's some child you know? 
WWJD?   The bible is clear...  Tie millstone around their neck and toss them into the ocean.  
P.S... I would never (not that I ever did) leave a child alone in a room with any stranger- or Dr., Teacher, priest, coach... Dear Jesus, come quick & send these demons to hell.  
​

You've probably read about the proposed TEEN social media ban.. not quite law yet.  Anyone who thinks this is actually for teens protection is delusional.  Remember being a teen?  Told not to do something!? LOL AS IF. Where there is a will, they will find a way- it's all a 'disguise' to control Canadians - ALL Canadians, not just teens. It is already failing in Australia.  Many DO see it for exactly WHAT it is... Carneys control - agenda 2030. Now we are learning (I knew for a while) in order to pass & make it successful ALL will have to verify their age, in order to use social media - ALL.
​When that day comes, I will ABSOLUTELY  stop using what ever platform makes this mandatory.. I am not alone.  I do think it will come but it won't last, it WILL backfire - even major companies like google are calling bullshit- stating IT IS all about CONTROL.  Did you know in other countries you can go to jail for complaining about your politician on line? Of course, that's the plan.. create the 'FEAR to speak up' to 'SHUT everyone up. *God put us here to share & care for each other.. to be fruitful and multiply to ALL look after the earth, the garden & to share his word & lessons.. not to be controlled and muzzled. 

I read a Canadian comment (I'm paraphrasing): Canadians have all become pussies & we are all just bending over taking it from Carney & his cohorts.  
Speak for yourself.   She is incorrect.. Canadians are intelligent, (some of the most educated in the world), confident, funny, kind, compassionate and patient.. sorry - but it's true. lol  I say sorry when I don't feed my girls on time. Canadians are hard working - we built this country 1/2 the time in 4 feet of snow!  Our favourite sport is played in the cold, on ice.. kicking ass. Canadians will ABSOLUTELY reach a point, SOON, and the rest of the world will not be thinking of Canadians as pussies' but for the STRONG, powerful, compassionate people &  the PARENTS we are.  Anyone who is paying any attention is thinking - what a joke this is - not funny. Canadian kids are being read to by men in drag as toddlers, told they can access free drugs at 15,  have puberty blockers, get their breast removed.. but can't vote, get a tattoo or surf the internet. 
We have more kids going hungry than ever before.  SERIOUSLY- IF our government CARED about children - the first thing they would do is FEED THEM! Cloth them and help with homelessness.. oh yeah- that only happens to immigrants coming into this country, currently.  HAVE you seen what's happening in PARIS?   How about Germany? The UK? So.. at least lets address it for what it IS - digital ID to CONTROL the masses and just like CHINA... you will comply or you will be punished & publicly shamed.  Who does that? 

I do think kids would be better off with less time online- we all know the damage it is going but this is a LIE.  Kids who try will still access the internet, keeping kids ignorant about the world will NOT help, it just makes them easier to fool.  They want them off line under 16  - YET 3, 12 year olds were just caught driving a stolen car and injured a police officer- YET they won't be charged as adults, they will be treated like children, let out with a slap to reoffend- because our current system is set up that way. A few other opinions below..  Knowledge is power.

If you have kids, grandkids.. it's your duty to know & help them.
I have an 'editorial and won't leave me be.. I'm drawing it today. 
I'm so excited to be outside & grateful - Thank you Lord for the strength & faith in you & helping me heal!
​Enjoy this day, the Lord has made.

I found this cat already sketched & painted it - just to paint.. it was the longest I've sat at my desk in over 2 week - so that was GOOD!  The painting.. so so, I didn't spend much time on it at all, it was more or less an exercise in forcing myself past the painting block' or break'... pun intended.  I will gift it to a cat lover I know. 

How great God is...     I am grateful I broke my knee. lol. It forced me to sit & observe, I haven't really even had the desire to paint.  When is the last time you sat & sat and watched things grow?  Everything for a reason.  

I saw the lilacs (Storm cut some for inside) and now they are gone... this was the first year I didn't get out there and smell them  self or make lilac syrup. It WILL be all the sweeter next year.  I can see the dogwoods bloom and know they smell amazing.  I planted a few veggies (I had started from seed) Storm went and got & planted the rest - I am excited to go and weed the vegetables garden! I've watched countless hummingbirds visit out feeder & Storm now knows how to make humming bird food. These tiny feathered miracles fight, swirl and occasionally  'come and look at me' - RIGHT through the screen, the other day one just stayed there in flight, hovering,  looking at me- as if to ask 'what are you doing inside?' 
 
The garden just sprouting the last time I was out is now in FULL greenery! Tropical in appearance. It all happened when I wasn't watching.  God makes stuff happen, especially when we are not watching, waiting or expecting.. it just does. Amazing, beautiful - awesome stuff - all the time but we miss it because we are busy doing stuff or distracted by life. I am aware of God existence & Jesus - always with me but it's still easy to be distracted by stuff & others.  The more I sat & looked outside the less I wanted to look at my phone.  

Things are heating up around the world and I am not referring to the weather, Ireland has had enough, we all have and we all now know - it was all planned. So much at the moment it's hard to absorb (thank God) perhaps that's the point.. don't get distracted from Jesus or God... or the real demons - still at play.  I watched a NDE account (I absolutely believe) of Penny Wittbrodt's and it's incredible, a reminder for us all there's more than this current 'experience' (puppet show), that I might add is playing out - right according to script.  I am seriously awaiting project blue beam at this point- one more conspiracy to come to fruition. Am I frightened - not at all.  It's more of a 'get this show on the road' - at this point.. Aliens at the White House, chatting on the lawn..  Please. I'd rather watch leaves wave in the wind at this point than to - encourage any part of the political parade.  There is no-one, Id vote for, anymore. 

Another blessing!! My dogs have become better dogs - due to my injury  lol..  it took about 3 days for them to understand -mom's hurt'. They refuse to leave my side & I have to argue with them to go outside. I did get an all terrain walker - so soon!!  Anyway.. they know I can't go to the gate and they are so well behaved - yesterday a delivery driver arrived at the gate and they both took off at full speed - they saw him before me but they alert me with their barking.  If it's someone we know, the barking soon stops.. if not, it continues and gets more aggressive. I have a whistle '-  the second I blew it, they stopped & looked at the driver (sitting in his vehicle) almost at the gate, they both instantly turned and ran right to me, in and sat at my feet.  I then saw him get out, drop off the package wave and off he went.  I was impressed..  have such good girls- they never run away, unless chasing a deer - but even then they quickly return.  I love them & they love me, they have been great companions the entire time.. always ready to snuggle.

The sooner you see everything as a blessing - it will be. The sooner you give God - thanks (for not breaking my hip) lol, the sooner you will start to heal!  I have been asking Jesus daily, Jesus- help me get outside again to hug a tree or two...  I can feel the healing.  The surgeon told me - you'll need a full knee replacement- My mind was saying - No frigging way.. Jesus will have me healed and walking in no time.. no knee replacement anytime soon.  I have faith! Faith is power...
God is LOVE. 

​Enjoy this day the Lord has made!  
​It's been a while since I've had 'new wheels' I can't wait to get out for a test roll. 

Mushroom stone study.  Gouache on white.
Can you tell I'm inspired by all the greenery? I can see the garden is coming along.. soon I'll be able to pluck weeds and I've never been so excited for it. The things we take for granted.  Cutting with scissors is my most missed 'simple task', there are so many creative ideas, but the moment I see 'cutting details' I move on. It has brought out others skills.. and patience & appreciation. 

I was talking with a good friend who happens to have been in a wheel chair most of her life, she once broke her hip and was sent home from the hospital & had to look after herself, also when she broke a leg. When you need to do things- you figure it out, quickly.. We both agreed; it's a blessing in disguise. The sooner you accept -the sooner you will rise above any situation.  Being forced to do stuff, helps you move towards healing faster.. they mentioned Pysio' to me.. the forest & dogs will be my physio'.  Speaking of dogs- when in the surgeons waiting room another woman with a broken leg asked me: Was it dogs? Did you trip over a dog??   blah blah dogs are responsible for people tripping..  
Anyway, I did not say anything out loud but after all that, she goes on to explain how she broke her leg- no dogs involved.  She tripped over a branch, hanging her humming bird feeder. lol   So, there goes that theory'.  No doubts people trip over (cats especially) pets- they also trip over kids, toy, curbs... and know what they trip over the most? Carpets.  So enough with 'demonizing' any one thing... I was not focused, distracted and yes my dogs were running around. Accidents happen.

Someone remarked - you're in the middle of nowhere, what if you fell and no one comes along.. 
Haven't we all, by now witnessed videos where a person falls in the middle of a bustling city - and people simply step over them? I have.. too many times. Recently, some poor guy at the bottom on an escalator - people thought he was drunk and walked past - turns out he fell and the thing was strangling him by his hoodie strings. So...  here, there, anywhere.
Do NOT Fear.

When your time is up - God will let you know  & nothing will change that- nothing.
The sooner you understand, believe, the sooner you have PEACE. 
You could go out today as slide off a cliff or you could step out of your tub, fall and never wake up - so WAKE up!
Enjoy this day the Lord has made!  
I'm already bending my knee, pain free!  It was suggested I'd need a full replacement..
when God wants me to have a new knee - I will.  
The cannabis boost, I successfully tried all the candy samples  in my Judges kit! YUM! lol.
​ I have had fantastic sleeps - and unlike alcohol you don't wake up feeling it' the next day. 
Today, I'm excited to paint & try the cannabis infused Tea.

USE it or LOSE it!
