I am very happy that my Laughing Buddha is liked.  It is easy to go though this life angry, resentful, jealous and to be mean and nasty. Some people  are so resentful and hang on to things that have happened to them in the past.  I know a few and quite frankly at this point in my life with what we have going on  - I no longer have the energy for it. I chose to remove such negative people from my life.  There are days when I  have to force myself to be positive.  I get angry, hurt and tired. Tired of trying to make sense of it all.  Tired of trying to understand why life seems so unfair. If someone is speaking bad about someone else.. look where it is coming from, sadly most of the time is stems from jealousy.  I have decided that  when someone talks poorly about someone else I'm going to simply walk away. I want to come to my own conclusions about people. I do NOT want to be apart of anyones gossip.
If only we all did this.  Formed our own educated opinions - about everything.
Laughing Buddha is for my own sanity, I read, get inspire and then draw.  Buddha sayings are so simple, all about being good. Look within. It is about Patience, Love and Kindness.
 So when I post a cartoons and see that others share. I feel HOPE.  Hope that I might be making a difference. 
Hope that I have lightened someone's load. If only for a second.  Brightened their day if only for a few moments.  I have decided to come up with my Laughing Buddha cards.  
My strips have done very well and I have sold a few Laughing Buddha originals. I know everyone can't afford an original but I hope  they might afford my cards.  Share the good vibes, positive words and help cheer up someone else with a little Laughing Buddha Wisdom.
The best thing about these cards - I have them to mail out! ;-)  Who needs Hallmark-  
I am my own Hallmark ;-)  Back to drawing.
