A Course in Miracles? Sign me up!

*** I wrote this blog, explaining how I might not share anymore on this book after the 'shared blog' entered, posted. Read.  2 days later someone e mailed me it is gone.   I don't even know what to say.    Here goes again...

A Course in Miracles.
I am convinced, beyond convinced this book will only be read when it's ready. .
When I posted a while back, I was about to start ACIM, someone commented:
This book will change your life.  I thought "Oh yeah, we'll see."

You have no idea and I am Grateful. Too many times now, has  ACIM also made me stop, look around the room and then smile. Just days before Christmas, I'm reading & the book reminds me Christmas is only days away. Never before does it mention a time. I have something on my mind- troubling - just recently - for days after a nasty e mail, I found myself becoming absorbed- when I finally remembered to ASK - Help me with this!  SMACK! At every turn I am told what to do. The wording - wrote for me exactly.
Think what you will.  Never in my life before have I had more peace in my life.
Conflicts appear to be resolved in record time!  I seem to know what to say to make strangers friends, not always an easy task - especially when at 'first' we don't perhaps agree on what brought us together in the first place.

The past several months I have had a couple of people comment regarding the book, and it's not always good. The easier time I am having, the more difficult it appears for others.  I was asked right out : How are you so Good with God with all you are dealing with!?
From someone struggling  watching my issues because I know they LOVE me. 

I AM. I've never felt closer and I have never been more at ease with sharing this.  I feel peace. I can't wait to start my day by drawing and trying to TEACH only love for that is what we are?  ACIM makes complete sense for me...  now on page 447 and  It's a page turner I don't want to put down! 
Be Good!
Teach Love!
Make this journey fun for others!
HELP EACH other.
Stop Judging each other  and KNOW each other.
What's not to like?

SHINE! I AM a Child of  God, created to create!  I AM perfect in Gods eyes.
I Am never alone. I FEEL that.  What's not to like.
I will also tell you, at every turn our life is changing, new opportunities' with every day - I shake my head- I don't know where to start! LIFE changing!!
So read it or do not.
You can lead a horse to water but you can not make them think.

Storm teases me..  I have so many tabs in my book - inspiration for drawings! LOL I told him I plan on re-reading it every day, he agreed I probably would and commented that
 I clearly has me in a 'new frame of mind'    to which I smile and think AMEN!
I even had another friend challenge me and say "I don't get it" ...  well, oh well. I don't know what to say - BUT what I do say is I will be happy to have a conversation with anyone - but you HAVE to read the book! LOL Come on..  lol - I say this with every book!! 

What ARE you reading? Is it educating your mind, will it help try and make this planet a better place? Or are you reading  a fantasy - of someone else's life?  EVERY thing is a choice. The choice is still ours in this beautiful country - so ask yourself... What am I reading?

 My computer problems continue... 
I don't want to write they Blog about David & others until I can add images..
SOON!  LOL - When it is meant to happen it will! Until then - I draw, craft and CREATE!
Have Faith <><

A new attempt @ a new day!

 Yesterday, after typing a 'longish'  blog, I hit enter on this keyboard of alien substance (for moi) and taaadaaaa! It disappeared! With it's disappearance anger reared it's ugly head! LOL! That was my clue. perhaps another time. Let it go.   Time to hit QUIT.
It's all only stuff. Never worth my peace of mind.  

Still this laptop only reaffirms my preference for mac.  I have to use the laptop to access weebly... It started with FaceBook I guess, .The signs of a system 'missysteming'.
Then soon after, I was noticing more and more my difficulty PINing - GASP!   lol
PIN warned me it was my browser. Finally - that last straw, I can't access weebly through my computer. No weebly, no new toons....  which brings me to the original problem.

My Browser is too old. Safari.  I can't upgrade as my system is too old... if I upgrade, I won't be able to use my scanner as I purchased it with the computer (special size for my cartoons) and IF I can't scan my drawings what does it matter? LOL! Twitch, twitch...  lol - I'm kidding. 

We also can't answer our phone. We are having serious issues with 'The Duct cleaning service.' WTFrick is that?  Every several days we can get up to 6 calls a day - not good to be running for the phone all the time and it is VERY mentally disturbing. Not just for a cartoonist/artist - for anyone. Call bell. They tell you to call the police. * BUT FIRST - you must have $$$ call display (we did not), so you can report the actual number.
The police tell you to call bell and report the number and have it blocked.. which I still have to do - in my spare time.  What happened to ending harassing phone calls from relentless businesses???  We are on the DO NOT CALL list. Stop answering the phone. Simple.
We have an answering machine , IF it is important, lol- IF God wants me to get the message- I'll get the message. ;) Peace is restored.

It's just stuff, words.  Talk about words... I have been thinking about  them so much lately.

Really, I was gifted a book on the creation of the dictionary- very interesting, then I was asked to consider working on a children's book, about cleaning out our 'negative words.. ' then I was gifted 2 books from the author, again one specifically has me thinking about words.. lol
 
I have decided to finally distance myself from those that only prove to time and time again only use their words as weapons. I have forgiven and only now offered up peace for them,.. anyone who says such hateful words and thoughts and displays them with their actions - needs prayer.  I  no longer wish for or deserve such words. I am also going to try very hard to ONLY post encouraging comments, ideas, drawings and love - as long as I am graced to do so. 

So, that's all for now friends... you can always reach me via e mail for now..  just click here.
For now, a week of only words. lol ..
About:
My book  ACIM...... I don't even think I should be sharing after this.
David... My other glass guy. His heart burns brighter than his torch.
Mush in LOVE with Paul....  because he is relentlessly working to save the planet!
My NEW Craftsy class- another!... LOL Thank you no more sleepless nights.
My new logo for a lady I love! She will make something of herself - Wait & Sie!!
Poppys first garden adventure! Art picture book for kids ;) & me!! LOL

Life is Good when you remember God blesses us with each new day.
I choose not to waste it on anger but play in its presence - NOW!

Wait till you see the new toons!!!

XOX
Have Faith!!! 
Teach only love for that is how you were created!!

Duh, talk about 'my morning does of  DUMB' LOL

Clay Day!

20/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Yesterday, I decided to spend the day with clay! I could not stand it any longer,  
Storm bought me clay for Christmas and I was determined to use it. I set up my room the day before. The problem has been my fingers on my hand have been swollen from arthritis, I decided - forget it - who is in charge here ? LOL
I mentioned before, Stephen is on p.i.n and he creates in clay!  It was one of my first passions  in high school!  Then, I also had access to a kiln and a wonderful art teachers Mrs. Obrien & Mrs. Shaker.  I've played with 'fimo' but there is something special about Clay, the feel of it on your hands, even as it dries is  'healing', for me anyhow.  
I added a bowl of cool water and my hands went in for a dip when ever I had the urge, it felt terrific! 
Music, clay... the girls by my side, I was able to slip into 'creative meditation' where I focus on good thoughts - most of them just happen to be about God!  And GOOD!  

Suddenly  Laughing Buddha started to appear and it made me smile - not even being aware.
I did not draw it out before hand specifically because I wanted 'to play', I did not want to set any expectations up for me or the clay. 
I medicated, only a few times, only  when I would  become aware of the physical pain  from time to time. I don't always thing Cannabis can heal my pain, but it certainly helps my mental pain.
Just as I was finishing  the last detail of the lotus flower, Storm came home and he had mail! A Box from Stephen G. Boehme., Storm had to open it as my hands were covered in clay and the instant I saw my pendant I teared up.  
I knew Stephen was making me something, he told me a while back he was making me a zenkitty pendant.  But to see it... Hold it... 
Here is was in my hand and I felt 'loved'  Storm just said  "wow, mom."  It is so beautiful. 

I sat thinking about Stepehen - sending loving vibes out as I created in clay... and they were returned. <3 

This is how it works.   Life. 


LB is getting painted today!!!

Look out the window today and you would think it's a wet, rainy, spring morning!  
It has me thinking of seeds and spring!  New life!  Growth!   Food & medicine! 
Thoughts of sunshine, bugs and wet dogs!  
Today I'll BE content with my houseplants and promises of spring - it will be here before we know it.  Half the fun is in the planning with a garden!  Planting the seeds in our mind.I want to plant seeds in my own mind daily and they go like this:

Je Suis Charlie!   I Am.

17/1/2015

I Am.  I love to draw- as if you were not aware.
If I had drawn immediately after the JE SUIS CHARLIE  shootings my drawing would have shown anger, fear, hatred, pain, tears, blood  and more of the same. 
A day later and you would have seen sadness...  
It would have been very easy for me to draw my anger. 
FACT. It is harder to draw a cartoon that inspires than it is to shoot someone dead.
TRY it! 
I do not want to contribute to the hate.  
Please let me have the strength to resist.
I do not agree with shooting someone over a drawing.  
That is all it was. Lines on a paper.  

What person in their right mind would kill someone over a cartoon? 
Who can tell me that God is o.k. with this behavior?  & believe that?

Here is the thing.. I don't like it when I see disrespectful drawings of Jesus. I can't lie... 
but I do not take them personally! If anything, as an artist I might try to think that person is struggling with their own issues and this is how artists deal.  I am shocked at the events that have taken place. 
I do NOT agree with them - BUT - I don't draw certain things because I know - it will hurt some, or be disrespectful to them, and because that's  not how I want to be. 
A perfect example for a cartoonist mind - or mine anyhow today - I read about a cat that saved an abandoned baby in Russia - I had an idea come to mind - about cats being better mothers in Russia. - I did think it!  It was just there -  HOW UNFAIR! 
Thankfully - my mind corrected itself and thought...  how bad  we read this story and it is a story because of the cat. How common does this happen is Russia. How common is this happening all over the world  :(  A little gift of God left in a box to freeze. Instantly my mind wanted to place blame,  because I am afraid to think things like this are happening.  My first was Anger at a mother who could do such an act... then sadness. How helpless one must feel. I truly will pray for that person because it must have been a very difficult decision for them to make. I am thankful I am not in that persons shoes.

 So I get it and I see how and UNDERSTAND,  how it is done all the time all around the world.
BUT I won't say it out loud, (I only wrote it here to show you - it happens) I won't draw it and I WILL remind myself - never should the actions of anyone person(s) be placed on  an entire race  or religion.  What some find funny - others are willing to kill over. ;(
So I don't get it, I am not able to understand all that surrounds JE SUIS CHARLIE,  what I do understand is life was lost.  Hatred was expressed. 

I will not live in fear. 
I will draw as long as I am able... 
I will try to encourage love with my cartoons. 
I am Charlie. 
I am. 

Have faith <><  xox

Mush Love! 
I found out about Mushrooms stones recently, I'll admit I don't know much yet.. 
Here is a bit of what I found: 
http://www.mushroomstone.com/  
https://mayamushroomstone.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/mushroom-stones/
I was inspired to draw this after watching a Ted Talk (mentioned before) 
Please watch it! Mushrooms can save the planet. Education is the key.
http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_stamets_on_6_ways_mushrooms_can_save_the_world?language=en

I also think this is pretty amazing! LOL A mushroom 'burial suit'! 
Sign me up!!! 
http://www.ted.com/talks/jae_rhim_lee?language=en

MUSHROOMS who knew! We are growing some now in the kitchen. 
NOMNOM we got 2 kits at Christmas from Zehrs. Grocery store! 
I love it and we have already had 2 meals! 
I almost 'felt bad' eating them - at first.   lol  What a fantastic way to introduce 
MUSHROOMS to kids!! Oyster Mushrooms!   I eat them several times a week. 
WE are all connected and the mushroom proves it! 
I hope to learn more about  'Medicinal Mushrooms'  so far as I understand - it is much the same situation as Cannabis.  Nature made illegal. A crime against humanity.
Draw, speak, paint, sing, clay, glass - create to EDUCATE  about the mushroom.

I daydream about other men all the time.
LOL - BUT not what most of you are thinking! 
I do - ask Norm! 
He loves it! Why?  Because he is the benefactor of all my lovin thoughts.

I do! I dream about spending my time with a few of my guy friends! I am attracted to them! NOT ‘them’ I am attracted to what they BE! 
For example - Ivan (of Ivan Art) is starting to build his yearly FLOAT in Switzerland! LOL! 
YOU Better believe I’m wishing I was there helping, as I sit here with my downscaled paper mache project! LOL  Learning from a master!! I would be there in a heartbeat.
Other days I dream about watching the waves as Josh Boulet and I doodle, sitting on the beach and we will draw all we see.  
Me & Jerry -  in the shop watching Laughing Buddha BURN bright!!  Any day or night! LOL!  Jessica too... 

But today- I’m spending time with Stephen Boehme (If only in my mind). 
I have not met or even talked to Stephen, we have exchanged a few FB messages. 
I follow Stephen!  lol  No, not in real life... luckily, we live a fair distance. (giggling)
Not just on FB but on P.I.N.  
http://www.pinterest.com/stephenboehme3

How wonderful to be inspired by other artists and PIN - it makes it easy. 
Stephen is a glass artist - see for yourself!  http://www.boehmestudioproductions.com

For all you glass artist lovers who are as passionate he shares his gift! He even has tutorials on his site. http://www.boehmestudioproductions.com/blog/frozen-fairies-tutorial/    Stephen does it all it appears. I especially love his clay!  
For whatever reason - I love it, it's like looking at the page of a wonderful story book! 
It’s creative, funky and DIFFERENT.  It catches my attention and keeps it.  Some artist ‘live’ to create and Stephen is one, IMO.  His FB posts make me smile - he just seems like an all around good guy. Why wouldn’t I want to spend time with these people! 

I do! I get to see what they make every day! And yes, I am blessed - I can e mail them, talk, ask questions and even have some original work.  They respond to and encourage many more than just me. 

This is who I want to spend my time, 'mental time' with some days,  as I said, Norm loves it - It makes me more creative - He gets to see the rewards and it keeps me HAPPY.  He just wants to know who these guys are that I mention from 'time to time'. lol  ;)
‘Sexual fantasies.. I don’t have any lately it seems.. 
I don’t need them.   
Happy Life - Happy Wife!! 

My artistic daydreams are limitless - seeing and knowing such inspiring creative people makes me want them to become realities!  Create! Make beautiful objects like these gentlemen are creating.
Create anything that makes you feel good simply by looking at it.  
These people make me a better artist and person!

Stephen also appears to be a good dad, his son has his dads talent! 
FB can allow us wonderful glances into talented families.  I know he must have a great relationship with his wife! He is always in the studio!   LOL! 
Sometimes you can’t even speak to me, I’m so deep in thought. We can relate. 
A supportive partner - only makes an artist flourish. ❤

Anyhow, I just think his creations are very inspiring. 
Of course I think about hanging out in the studio with Stephen.. for now - I’m off to my little ‘studio’ and about to start some clay!
A project I would like to think - when Stephen sees it- he might think - he wants to hang out with me - in my studio!  lol    

Support ARTISTS. 
They make our hearts and home brighter. 

Soon... My other favorite glass guy.
Just his smile - makes me want to smile... 
his love for others - makes me want to ‘BE!’ 

With friend like these.. I never focus on enemies.  

I know I skipped a day.. such is life. 
I needed  to be ‘clay ready’ & inspired & not tired. ;) 
I have only included  tiny fraction of  his work below 
Please view his pages for more! You can also find Stephen on Facebook

Want to learn the power of plants?  
Research about Fungi.  WOW!  Mind blowing.
We watched this Ted talk on Mushroom's and how they will save the planet! 
http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_stamets_on_6_ways_mushrooms_can_save_the_world?language=en
Well they do all the time. I can't even begin to explain... start here:
http://www.fungi.com   
Mushrooms are used around the world for medical reasons. 
Like cannabis they have been centuries!  I will happily take a portobello burger or cow most days! The more I know the more I like! Button! Oyster! Put them all on my plate! 
I am only now starting to find out more and there are way too many to draw! Look at these: http://upopin.com/20-pictures-of-mushrooms-that-are-scary-cool/
Here is what your brain looks like on Magic mushrooms - 
http://www.fastcoexist.com/3038145/heres-what-your-brain-looks-like-on-magic-mushrooms       How does it look? Connected.  Better than normally.    lol 
I plan on researching more.
Another name for mushrooms. Gods Flesh. Amen
We are all connected - If you don't believe me - Study the MUSHROOM!!

Many people tell me, when they try to educate their parents on cannabis - there is no listening. What the Dr. says is gold. 
How sad. 
More elderly die now from a combination of chemicals that their system just can't handle...  How many old people do you know that take sleeping pills alone? Cannabis would help.
A good friend of mine is often mentioning sleeping issues., but she won't try cannabis.
You can lead a human to knowledge but you can not make them think! 
Or TRY! 

What have you got to lose? Your life... with pills.
It's like when we were young, but now we are frustrated as we watch our parents 
"fry their brains, on drugs!"

PictureSharons daughter gave me great photos! It sure makes my job easier, The rest was peeking over the fence.
I know I said I'd have a 'new cannabis' cartoon and I will later today but - I was distracted by dogs! These two have barked at 'us' for years.  Through the fence. LOL 
They moved in and for whatever reason 'Scruffy and Charlie' decided to attack each other 'through' the fence every chance they got.  Until Daisy came along and taught Scruff, NOT to behave like that! Thank Goodness. 
I only see these 2 in winter when I look out my side window, sometimes I can see them in the backyard now that there are no leaves.

I asked my neighbors daughter for photos this past summer- lol - I might have told her - by the way - it takes me a bit. I am sure she thinks I forgot. 
Well the other morning, I saw old Charlie and he fell off the back deck. :( Just old I could tell. Like Tequila- it won't be long for our old girl. 
So, I thought -  I better get that drawing done! 
As I started to draw I could hear them bark! 
"It's about time Georgia!" 

Today I will get Storm to run it next door. She has no clue. 
We rarely even speak. I just wanted too.  I am very please with the drawing.
Just the thought of them getting this - I KNOW they loves their dogs.. makes me smile.

Love thy neighbor - the dogs too!  See Scruffy in the drawing? 
It was also my first attempt at hydrangeas, (I peeked over the fence in the summer) 
they turned out pretty neat If I do say so! 
Later today - New Cannabis Cartoon!

Me & Jerry Kelly!

* I should say... me and my 3 glass guys. :)
If only in my mind! lol

I was introduced to Jerry though David Kaminski a friend we had made at the beginning of this journey. More on David later this week. David approached me and said 'glass artists he was working with were interested in turning ‘Laughing Buddha’ (my cartoon character) into ‘glass’, would I be o.k. with that?' 
o.k.?? I was thrilled and that is BEFORE I had a clue of what is involved, now -  I don’t even know what to say. 

Jerry made  'Laughing Buddha' but the timing was a bit off.. 
I had a brain thing, surgery and because so much was going on, I hardly even remember talking to Jerry or David! Thankfully I had my ‘L.B. Millie by Jerry Kelly for a reminder’.  I wanted to thank him. I woke and looked at one of my favorite cartoons I had framed in my bedroom and my mind said 'this belongs to Jerry!' I was upset! LOL! I hardly got to enjoy it! I sent it, he told me they have ‘a thing for suns!’ and I knew it was meant to be.

As the past year went on I noticed Jerrys work 'FB page'  Jerry Kelly Glass was not really focusing on his art, and I get it, many of my men friends are the same. Still, it needs to be seen!  I started to bug him - lol-  literally! Asking if I could help.  I am, now helping with the FB page.  He has done all the work, Im just helping find and post his images ;)

The past year, watching Jerry, his posts, searching for samples of his work, an easy task when you are looking for an artist who has a ‘look’ all of his own! I started to read the comments and time and time again , I was reading about, not only what a talented artist - his works says it all  - but I was continually reading about a ’great guy’. Well liked and respected in the glass community and in general life.  Why wouldn’t I help? 
We are here to serve each other.  Jerry also does work with others- that tells me a lot too. ‘Collaborations’ - Mind blowing results. You cannot achieve such success IMO, IF you don’t get along with others. 

Surprising enough (and I owed her an apology- as time went on) I realized that Jessica, Jerrys  ‘better 1/2’ (we girls got to stick together!) of 22 years, also knows her way around the glass gallery! It appears she too has earned respect in her own right. I’m still learning.

We have chatted on the phone a few times, I have to giggle when I thought the other day 'Now he has two of us ‘REMINDING’  him of stuff to do all the time!’ LOL! 
I send him ideas & suggestions! I can’t help it! He has humored me to date. lol 
We are talking, planning and working on new and exciting ventures! I am ‘beyond thrilled’, not just because he’s ‘Jerry Kelly Glass” but because they are my friends.  
We get buy with a little help from our friends. 
*Soon, anyone that buys any 'Laughing Buddha' off of Jerry can e me for a comic and LB post card. In the process of being printed ;) 

Jerry made me a Laughing Buddha pendant...  I have not seen it yet - from learning how long people have been waiting for a custom piece by Jerry, I’m waiting, patiently.
I get Storm to check the mail 3 times a day though! 
lol - Kidding.  
   ^^  (*LOL he read this over my shoulder and said -no your not!) LOL

Have a look and if you can treat yourself - Do it! His Marbles and Millie are  the envy of many collectors ;)   If you can afford a nice smoking apparatus, why not!?  If you don’t know anything about glass art, watch a few ‘yortube’ videos you will get a new appreciation for the talent very quickly. Here is one of Jerry's vids.

Look at the photo I found of Jerry & his daughter Telyn. Below 
I figure whatever I 'find online' is meant to be!
A picture is worth a thousand words - Only one is needed - LOVE!
So, when you see posts like this -it’s probably Jessica or me! And NOT 
Jerry’s feminine side shining through on FB! LOL
He has shared with me, a few of his friends have noticed!     
IF it keeps Jerry doing what he does best - I’m happy to help!
He keeps inspiring me to draw Laughing Buddha & more!  

Jerry has a  new website  - as soon as that happens I'll share! 
Keep creative! Look where it can get you!! 
Tomorrow  a  new cannabis cartoon, the ink is drying. 
Thursday  - another ‘glass guy’’ I’m sweet on! LOL 
- I think it’s his ‘PIN side’ that has me!

OnLine Art classes!

5/1/2015

Last year I signed up for my first Online drawing class! 
I don't have a vehicle so I don't get around much in the winter,  I keep reading about classes but think, it's too late, It's too far and what if it;s a blizzard?  I found this site called
'Craftsy'  http://www.craftsy.com   I did not want to say too much until I completed the course. I loved it! 
I notice already a difference in my art. Of course it all takes time. What I really enjoyed was the fact that I was in control of WHEN I went to class. lol 2 a.m., 7 a.m. , 3 p.m.,  when ever I want! Coffee ready, snack and note book - no you don't need a note book you can make notes as you watch on line!  Yes i am excited! For  people with disabilities! Those ready to learn at their own pace! The possibilities are endless! 
It cost me $20. The best $20 I have spent in a long time.

The class I took was: 
Picture Book Illustration: Animal Characters with Eric Johnson
Eric was honest- to the point - I thought he just saved me alot of aggrivation, a few times he made me giggle but more often that not he made me think! He makes it look very simple but he is a very skilled artist. I do believe at any level this class will help!  Don't be discouraged if you can't draw, listen to what he says and do it! SIMPLE.  Before you buy a pack of smokes, or blow $20 on junk food... invest in yourself. 
Eric has a www: http://www.ericjohnsondraws.com   
He is in Colorado, and also paints a few murals. 
I think his book are beautiful.
I am so grateful he shared his gift.

So I highly recommend. ;) Check it out- they have sewing, baking... keep busy - be creative! 
Explore! You might find a new hidden talent! * This is not a paid for promotion lol 
You can go and see all your notes. It provides a supplies list. I liked the  30sec. replay feature.  There was only ONE thing I did not like and sent an e mail to craftsy, the icon!  
There is this big  chunky icon in the middle of the screen that does not do away. Press play and pause icon Maybe it fades..  not needed IMO ;)
The next class I am taking is: The art of the Picture book.
I've already paid. I'll keep you posted.
xox Have faith!  <>< 

Tomorrow: Jerry Kelly & me!

My first drawing for 2015.  It took me all day. I loved every second.
I read this quote, and like it often does from time to time -my heart beats a little faster... and something registers in my mind. Thank God.  Love.  
The love in this image is everywhere, I wish you could see it in real life. 
I know you would feel it!  The Dandy Lion of Love

‘The children of God are entitled to the perfect comfort that comes from perfect trust.’              
Inspired by the book ‘A Course In Miracles.’

Today I trust my love for you will be realized, remembered and never doubted.
I sit her and think this with my own son in mind.  He is upset with me this morning.
When I remember God and realize the love,  I have no doubts.  
The trick is to remember - even when we get distracted by anger.
I know my son KNOWS I love him with every breath I take and I know we will be fine.
That is PEACE. That only comes with LOVE.  

All we can do is continue to prove and show and lead by example.
Teach only Love for that is what we are. 
Everyone teaches us something, I trust I will take away a lesson that will make me a better person instantly if not eventually. LOL  That is all we can do.

IF your intentions are true and good in your Mind and Heart - it will show. 
You can’t hide it. SHINE! 

I am still thinking about the start to this year.  I think I went into a bit of shock on the 2nd. lol..  yesterday the same and was busy.  My friend Linda said - "and it's no miracle! - it's because you work hard!"  lol               
It's a miracle. 
It is quite possible that my official job for the next year will be to draw, with the intention of teaching Children about God and Love. I won't be the one teaching as much the one drawing. Someone quite capable will be writing. ;)  
Is there any better proposition? Not for me!!! 
My ego 'tried' to whisper - 'you can't... '
My mind shouted 'Child of God you were Created to Create!"  That is why I am here. 
I can see it if you can't. LOL  Just the idea has me giggling with excitement and my drawing instantly just got a bit better! Because of LOVE,  because I know children will look and I want them to ONLY see LOVE!

I continued to surround myself with good people in 2014 and 'we' are thriving because of it, in mind and spirit. 3 glass guys in particular that ALWAYS inspire.  One,  I've become closer with, we've exchanged e mail and more -  to the point I bet he thinks, "My gosh now I have  two of them bugging me!"  LOL!  More on that this week coming. I feel blessed for having them in my life, these guys (and family), hard working, inspiring with their art and actions. 

Tomorrow - My online art class!  I loved it! ;) Can't you tell?
 <><  Have Faith.

The clock struck 12a.m., we toasted with ‘a’ glass of champagne and all went to sleep. LOL! Welcome 2015! I spent the evening with the two men I love on this planet most.

What did we do - not much, watched television, ate and chatted about the year past, as we admired f’ish photos’ on the mantle! LOL It was a great year.  it started with an event early in early January, allowing me to stop, sit back and BREATH. for the first time in a very long time. I cut back and started to draw only what inspired and less what angered. No deadlines or drama.

Researching Cannabis, I learned about more pain and specifically children and parents that helplessly (& NEEDLESSLY) watch them suffer. I learned about the war on Drugs >  a war on poor, already suffering in most cases. That educated me on human trafficking. 
All I can think - is why? Over a plant are we punishing each other, while lives are treated like trash.
No wonder my eyes twitchin  ;)  I can’t get angry. 
I can’t hate what I don’t understand. 
All I can do is express an opinion. One that might make others think and  possibly  LOVE - just a little.  

I made better friends with an atheist, over an ‘anti Jesus’ post on Christmas eve! 
Miracles are everywhere! LOL! I’M LOL  - but I’m far from joking!!  
I like the guy! I asked him ‘why?’ Why be an ass, more or less? How is it any different from respecting someone's choices to use a medicine that helps with pain! We are advocates for the right to be happy, pain free and Plant Preferred. 

Jesus helps with all my pain. Whatever it takes! ;)  If you profess 'ONE love', then  lets try just that. Me included. I admit it, apologize and move on. If anyone wants to keep me there - that is their choice not mine.  All I can do is keep trying to be who I was created to be! It gets easier as you find more peace and enjoy doing what you love.

So, I felt good this morning, even at 5 a.m. as poppy was cleaning my nostrils. Wake up mom! I have to pee and you are coming with me!  

I was up. I acknowledged my twitch “Still here?” and got ready to read as I do every day. 
A Course in  Miracles. I only read one bit every day to process. I make notes and circle what makes me smile, feel loved and keeps me going throughout my day..  sometimes ideas literally leap into my mind that make me smile and I can’t wait to draw.. (I’m working on one now) I did not read it though- lol, poppy snuggled on  my lap and we both drifted back to sleep in the chair.

Up again at 7  I checked my e mail on this first day on January 2015 and these were the first lines of an e mail:

‘This new years eve letter might change your life forever.
What do you think about ‘maybe’ doing a book together?’


!!! My year starts with a Miracle!  Can you feel my face beam through your screen? lol

This is just the beginning! More on what is happing in 2015, the next few days.
I’m working with some very talented, LOVING people! 
All here to make this world a better place, using their gifts.  

Be High & Mighty -  with Good intentions ;)

New toon first thing tomorrow - The ink is still wet.
