I need a new painting for my bedroom! A new direction, I had no idea what to paint and it came like it always does... this elephant looks nothing like my initial idea.  Listening to music, keeping medicated it arrived and I'm thrilled.  I was thinking about MY style.. 
 a creative style that changes all the time!  Oooooooo   *_*   I'm getting into this painting.

Painting it, I became emotional, stood back & took a deep breath - DREAM BIG!!!
THINK BIG!!! BE CREATIVE, make what ever the fuck you want.  Care not.
Ganesha is the remover of obstacles, elephants don't "Go around"  they go forward, through and there is no stopping them. Move out of my way.
My 'bowls of goodies'.. yes, the sweetest of sweets for moi.  Think Big.
I love the axe premise to 'hack off all negativity'  and the need for materialism.
His belly is full & so is mine,  Storm & I just met in the kitchen for a 1.am snack. ;)
Peanut butter  & jam for me, he had a variety of treats. The dogs had crumbs.

Today was a splendid day, I painted.   Tomorrow I'll do the same and 'give thanks' I get to
do what I love & take breaks, go online see what the world is up to... If I choose.  
Once my elephant is complete I know exactly where it's going.  
My little meditation centre.  
A place to get my groove going on every morning, fine tune my vibe...  ready to receive love.
I might treat myself to a statue of Ganesha - I'll wait until it finds me.
​
Bring it on. Listening to now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEWuAcMWDLY
Yep,  Im stuck.. I love the older music - it eases my soul while painting, I sing along and drift away- when is the last time you drifted?  Go. Do it.   
He is not yet complete..more to come.  ;)  I can't wait to wake up and start again.. probably in 3.5 hours.   lol  Better to create than to just lay in bed and think. 
I Give thanks for this beautiful planet & apologize for all the pipelines.  xox

Have Faith

I have discovered the secret to keeping my saintly. Keeping busy. LOL 
So far so good.  I know all too well I can sit and twitch or I can sit and twitch and keep creative and focus on  keeping creative - rather than keep focused on the problem, one that appears to be staying with me.  
I am feeling very  lucky, blessed and grateful that I am still able to paint, draw and just amuse myself ;)  lol  I have several projects on the go!  I can literally walk from room to room with something set up in a corner to paint, prime or doodle as I please! I have no excuse for boredom!  
Several situations recently once again, have had me withdraw and rethink. 

Boredom is  the root of evil. I know many marriages all pretty happy, until someone starts to feel bored.  Usually that boredom turns to looking for something else, and many times that something can end up being someone.  I find between the dogs, life , crafts - twitch I have little time to feel bored.  I spend a great part of my day feeling frustrated.  Take anything that you do and now add a twitch that literally shakes you head and sometimes hand (when at it's strongest) with every movement, and paint.  LOL

I'm tired of listening to others complain about life.. 'how bad they have it'- when all it seems to me, is they are bored. Too much time to sit and stew and think and let the negative ferment until it consumes.  Been there and done that. I do have a few friends that complain, most with very good reason - the ones IMO that have the most justifiable reasons- complain the less.   

Get busy! I've decided to keep busy! Recently I played with a  few empty beer bottles I have! Buddha beer in particular! What fun!  I have had the bottles for a while being a fan of Buddha- the bottles are too easy to paint! The last screamed Rob Ford before I could even finish the flash paint! LOL  Norm picked up a diamond bit and I plan on turning a few into water pipes ;) !  Stay tooned, I will sell a couple but as usual, much of my work ends up being gifts!  

In my attempts to make some extra$$ (is there such a thing?) I created Mini Zen kitties!! I love these little kitties, it brings me peace to paint them! A rainbow of colors and each one slightly different - that huge grin looking back at me while I paint!  I am making some for the Painted Perch festival - more on that the next couple of days!  I also have to get to work on my celebrity fish for the day!  The Stephfin Carper!!!  
I have offered ZenKitties on line - once they are done they are gone. ;) You can get one here - if you order quick enough! http://www.georgiatoons.com/for-sale.html

It's simple. IF you are bored then do something about it! Serve someone other than yourself.  Look within. Create! Write a card/poem, bake a dish to give, cookies... plant a plant! Clean your home! Toss out clutter!  Knit, crochet... PAINT! 
Or be bored.  The CHOICE is yours.
xox <>< 

I have a folder of stuff, clippings, quotes, images, jokes... I brought this with me up north, 
I needed to get away and thought I'd go with a clean slate to try to get my head together. Days alone with nothing but Poppy and the radio - Canoe FM,  so nice to hear a community radio station!  This was the first quote out of my folder an the first drawing I did to unwind.

Did I pray while away - you bet.  
It actually took me a good day to unwind. I cleaned - lol (it was already clean) and took Poppy for walks but mostly I sat at the kitchen table or on the sofa and drew!  
That and slept.  I am amazed at how much I slept, clearly I needed it.
I was up in Haliburton at my good friends home. ❤ Jim - also my pal who keeps me in paper!  He just purchased it and has been too busy to get up there, I was the first to stay a week.  I was not ruffing it - that is for sure. 
Storm drove me up and stayed one night and Norm came up and picked me up and spent one night.  Other than that it was me and Poppy! I made notes, even a few new rules for keeping my sanity and I am done with Dr.s.
I can't do it any more. They do not know what is causing my condition and I do not want to go through any more tests. 
I pray for strength, patience, understanding daily. 
I also say thank you for EVERY break I get.  Twitch breaks, lol - and breaks in life! 
My retreat below ;-) 
I am very thankful to Jim for sharing his piece of heaven on earth with us. 

XOX <><

Oh - I'm feeling stronger and have a new clarity and focus than I have for a long time! 
BRING IT ON World! I am ready!!!    ;-) You will just have to stay tooned to see more! 

 Today is a new day. 
I was gifted Friday a book, and read it already. I loved it.  Although, I do feel the he, E. Alexander M.D. forgot about us 'not so medically inclined',  I was dumb struck a few times.  LOL  
Hey, we can't all be brain surgeons. 
I was hesitant to read it because of the brain issues (frightened, a better word) but glad I did.  My faith is strong and I already believe in heaven. I believe there is more to us than this. We are all better than this <3.  I BELIEVE in GOOD and God.   
In a world full of temptation/lies/greed/pain it is hard to focus always on the good.
I too know that pain and fear bring out the worst in people and I am NO exception.
I am thankful for those around me that love me enough to remember that. ;)
Still, a few times "Proof Of Heaven!"  hit too close to home. 
Thinking of it now I tear up. <3 that poem.
He says he is meant to write that book and I feel I was meant to read it. 
That is what it is all about. Helping each other. 
I am glad I read it, not for proof of heaven but reminder that we are all ONE. 
ONE LOVE ❤  
It inspired the toon! At first I was just going to draw pills and cannabis, and then I was poked in the head to be reminded of the Bigger picture!!!  :)
I am pulling back, looking in praying/meditation and DRAWING. Amen! 
Enjoying my newly painted & clean (LOL - how long it will stay that way, time will tell.) kitchen - I have sunshine indoors all the time! I LOVE IT! That and my guys and girls... 
Good Vibes always appreciated! 
xox <><  !!!

How true the quote is (by: Robert H. Schuller) With every seed planted we also plant hope - and that tiny seed  is a source for huge hope! When we start our tomato seeds every year the first thought I have is: I wonder how many tomatoes we will get and how great they will be - juicy, firm, red - better than anything purchased in a store! Well - other than the farmers market.

As with life - we only need a tiny seed sometimes of hope. I have to say when I woke up this morning,  it took so long (over 40 mins.)  for my twitch to kick in I thought - It's gone! 
It's gone! I got up - dressed, had coffee and still only a tiny little linger...

I tell myself this several times a day.  I thank God I do not have cable, as just the 'bits' I am reading about that mass shooting is  heart clenching. I can not let my mind wander there. The anger that rises is so powerful, how many little bullets is it going  to take?  Sad on too many levels.
All I can think right now is keep going. 

We say In God we Trust, it's on every American $$$.
The USA president put his hand on the bible... is this all for show? Have ye so little faith? 
It says in the Bible,  fist page: 
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

I do not recall anywhere in the bible where it states that one person, country, organization can take out a patent on one of God's creations. Is it just me? But here it is, BEHOLD...
USA Patent on Cannabis:   http://www.google.com/patents/US6630507

W.T.F?  I also have watched several documentaries on companies like Monsanto trying to hold patent on plants in India- Until crops started to fail and EVEN MORE people started to starve and die & have since decided this is not a good thing.
 IF you don't believe in God - then substitute  in my drawing who ever you want! 
Imagine Mother nature, Buddha or your friendly family farmer!  What ever it takes for us to get it and help educate others before this continues to get out of complete control. 
Consider it the religion of all humanity - One Love
WHY would we let any ONE person, government, country - hold a patent to a plant! 
2 words should be popping into your mind...  
                                 WORLD HUNGER 
Yesterday I watched a Doc., it was  about beautiful Burma : 
They Call It Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain. < click  *Well worth the watch.  I was touched at the comment if they have 3 meals a day (and I'm not talking Popeye's chicken or Swiss Chalet) they consider themselves rich. Their children lucky if they can go to school for one year. ;-( Then it's off to work - job's I cannot imagine doing.  They are peaceful people with a great faith that have been neglected for far too long. They inspire. 
You should watch it and see what happens when we lose control.
WE lose control when we let others have it, and to have it over what is most important to every single being on this planet - nutrition/food- is incredibly frightening and quite stupid of us.  HOW many are we???  So this toon is about Cannabis and so much more- it is about every single plant and seed on this planet that we all MUST share.
I love plants as you can see below I have them on every window in my home , every room...  what's next? I'm afraid to think of the possibilities if they continue the direction they are going. 
Another few  great Documentaries to watch..

^^ One of my favorites.   There are SO many - I wonder why?
Watch or don't,  Monsanto is hoping you don't.

If I said thinking about surgery I was not frightened, I'd be a LIAR .
Every now and then it hits me,  as the day goes on and I have several twitch attacks and a head ACHE since the moment my brain registers it is awake.. the fear disappears and I know this has to be done.  I am getting my Zen Den ready! 
Determined to surround myself with all things I love  and keep it simple I have a few key essentials:
- my ipod with meditation music - lots of Om mani padme hum going to be happening ;D.
-T.V. & DVD player  and of course my box sets of Warner Brother cartoons! Watched a few of my favs. last night! Has made me feel good since I was a kid!
-I made a 'positive vibes board' & complimentary pins (can't tell you too much about it, as it is a very cool and up coming craft)!!  I hope to stick it with ideas, photos and more  to keep me inspired & focused. 
-A book that I have read before (I'm not going to strain my brain in any way)  Our Lady of the Lost and Found  < click to read more. It is inspiring, fun, interesting and I find the entire concept pretty cool.  I love a good book and have found that reading this one - I am easily drifting off on inspired ideas..  I also have The Pot Book and am expecting  Hempology 101  in the mail by Ted Smith any day ! So I will have some material for CC Cartoons - Not that I ever seem to be a at a lack for material;-) Also the Bible ♥
-OF course - I have my supply of pencils, paper, note pads and ink! Ready to rock! 
Buddha & beside him my hemp ball, my mini ROOR, my Plenty by my bedside and a dish of healing herb - without it I do not know how I'd have got through these past few years! 

So I'm ready! Storm has been -as always fantastic, from helping mop to more <3 The only think I'm  'upset' about is I have to keep the girls locked out of my bedroom for 2 weeks. Should be interesting. I am so ready for this healing process to begin. * after a difficult day yesterday - this toon came to me last night and made me giggle so I drew it to give to my Dr. before surgery - Note* Right side please! LOL  I hope he has a sense of humor. 
Last Post tomorrow for 2 weeks peeps. I am shutting down.  <3

Let there be no confusion where my loyalties are. 
I thank God ever day for Cannabis.
I thank God every day the second I am awake. 
I said when Storm was diagnosed with a terminal illness was when I started to pray but that would be wrong.
I started to pray when he was a baby and he cried and screamed  for hours on end. 
When we could see his pain.
I prayed.  I begged.  I promised. 
Tell me you would do different.

Norm and I were at the ktichen the other day and I asked , do you wish we didn't go public with all this and he instantly looked at me and said "How can we not? We saw from the first day how it made Storms life better."
For what ever reason we are here. By the Grace of God. 
Our son is doing amazing right now! Mentally and physically he is strong. That is with nothing but Cannabis in his system, controlling his pain.  
Who else should I thank?
The government?  Hell no.
The system? Hell no.

If you believe in God, the bible and you try to tell me that on the very first page - God forgot  to include a > * < regarding Cannabis :

1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding *seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. *Does not include Cannabis.

GIVE me a fricken break.  
Who should I thank? Who do you thank? 
I thank God, you can thank who every you feel you need to thank.
God, Mother Earth, The dolphin gods( for my pal Ron ;-)), Evolution.
Thank you sun, soil and rain! ☮♥<><
