How true...   

I put abundant amounts of love into these bears - I feel it radiating still from my pores today! I left the stars until this morning..  I wanted to wake up and continue the love I felt & carry it over.  It has.  

It might not appear but this was a couple of days of painting.  
6 layers at times.
I have to wait in between layers while  the paint dries. Gouache dries different then when applied.  It's a tricky  technique, instructing me in patience as I persevere.  
Painting on black board also is a bit tricky, numerous  times I think back to my classical animation training- thinking backwards- black first.. patience with cell painting, training for today. 

Love in every stroke.. It occurred to me
'I wonder how many strokes are in these paintings?
​lol     Too many to count.  Perfect.  

In the Garden of Love  & Medicine - also why they smile. 
As you can see 'He is a little grey- so the cannabis helps his old bear bones.

Hee hee hee.

Have a creative day!
Paint yourself some love!!

To sit and paint and get lost in each stroke of fur...      thank God.
I am reminded I was created to create.  All else can wait.
No opinions matter.   No rush. No deadline. No $ pressure...  
positively paining.

I can't escape these starry nights, thankfully they help with all the grey days.
1:30 a.m. &  I think... 'I'll just sketch quick...'  2 hours later.
Another bear & fox is born.  
Do what you love. I have no clue what I'll do with them, I was asked to sell one, not at the moment.

I AM inspired by Bud Ross.   Bob Ross.  
Painter extraordinaire.  

If you can’t paint after watching this man, countless times- all available online for free - as I did while painting this bud,  Isn’t he  a talented little Bud?  A Budding Artist you might say!! lol 
You can see how he holds the pallet like a Pro, not to mention the tiny happy tree on the  tiny canvas. 

You can also watch on Netflix - where I squeeze in the occasional episode - usually alone, break time- but still want to keep inspired- Bob is the man. His voice is as calming as his brush strokes, except when ‘it gets a beating! “Beat the devil out of it!”  

Unquestionably, he makes me a better painter after every episode!
I watch him make a simple path- with a twist of his brush, perhaps “A happy accident…” - it become a trail deer might trod on.  Bob  helps us escape as well as paint.   Helps us relax. 
No wonder the man is a success.
How  superb he share his gift with he rest of us.

Today, with this little Bud, I hoped to make a few smile above all
 I wanted to celebrate life, beauty, inspiring people & God.

Mission accomplished. “Bud Ross.”


                                 “We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.”

In all seriousness…

I’m done.  I read an article in Frobes called “I’m Done..”, what  several women remark  “I’m done with..”  I say it often, but never as much as I have this past year and into 2017.
 I HIGHLY recommend the read, especially for young women.
I want to start the year off with my “I’m done..  “ list, as the sooner I am done, the sooner I can get on with 2017.

I am done with apologizing, first  - for letting people I care about, know.
How many  never say how they feel and never get the chance a second time around.
How few ever hear anything nice…   too often they hear the opposite.  I can’t help myself. 

I’m done with thinking anyone on this planet is ‘better’ than I am.
More skilled, talented, wiser, older, richer, poorer, educated, cultured, religious  - none of these makes us better. The only one I try to be better than is myself the day before - somedays are easier than others. 

Which brings me to the next, I’m done. I’m done sitting, watching and not saying a peep- IGNORANCE IS BLISS.  I try to at least get some thinking- even if my words are grammatically incorrect. I DRAW, read and learn.  When we turn a blind eye to Child Abuse (for example), all of society pays. Sooner or later.

I am done with living my life for anyone but myself.  Your opinion of me does not matter.  Have you lived my life?  REALLY,  have I lived yours? Do I really have a clue- about any of you - other than tiny specks I’ve witnessed over the years? No.  The same rule applies. 

I’m done with chasing people and will chase my dreams - when i think of the times -I’ve let - ‘others lives, drama’  & FEAR of their own failures get in the way of me and mine - I ONLY have myself to blame!  I’M done.

I’m done with letting others hurt me - allowing for an excuses -  booze, grief, pain, work, life - who knows…or ME hurting them out of fear and retaliation & PAIN. Yes, I’M done  (I can hear the sigh of some breathing easier) I’m DONE.   If you show any signs - you do not want me in your life, family or friend - I’m done.  

I’m done.
I have Faith in God.  Therefore I have FAITH in myself.
God will put  people in my life who are also deserving of my company, body, mind & heart.

I’m also done with working for free, this includes my HIGHLY creartive ideas & time. Done with terrible service. 
Done with accepting anything less.   I want MORE. 

It took a very serious illness for me to get to this point. I’m done apologizing for it

• it was a Premature Awakening that I am grateful for - with every passing day!

Frankly, no one is worthy of a nasty blog, we are all in the same boat. 
& I won’t waste my time, thought, energy when there is so much to acquire in this universe.  
Thrill seeing ahead.

I’m Done…   time to PAINT 

This year, chances are - I’ll still tell  a few people to ‘Fuck off’ but I will try to be nicer about it - then...  I’ll be done.  lol     

NOW, It’s time to focus on what matters,  for me that is drawing & painting about those who need some assistance or LOVE - because I can.

By the Grace of God *  < This  is for me.   I really don’t care what you believe in.

Christmas is as good a time as any to educate on Cannabis, young & old.
Firstly,  IF you still believe Cannabis hurts children, please educate yourself on the facts about Christmas trees, more children have died during the holidays due to Christmas tree fires than I ever wanted to know.  Entire famalies perish because of a holiday tradition. Leave the tree outside, alive.  I share with you now, only as a reminder !IF you have a real tree please take all precautions. Children who have died from cannabis = 0
Secondly, for all those that celebrate the birth of Jesus! Amen..   canabis is said to be an ingredient in the holy anointing oil used by Christ. Research it! You will become enlightened.  
Most important, again for all those who claim to belive in Jesus but not cannabis..
Ask yourself one thing:    W.W.J.D.?  
What would Jesus Do?  
Would he jail his brothers and sisters over a plant???
Never.

Set minds & each other free. this holiday!
Isn't that what the holiday is about  -  Celebration & LOVE?
Tell that to those in jail over a plant.. and their famalies this holiday.
PLEASE take time to remember those in jail this holiday season, extra cards and letters. 
Remember the reason for the season.
To celebrate the birth of a  wonderful man who raised other men UP!!!

Merry Christmas!  

Plant the seed of cannais education this holiday!

Note btw- if you did not see the Pot POW WOW special on VICE with Ultra Health & the Piaiute tribe it will be re-airing tonight on Vice.  I think it's an idea that will help many and I'd like to see the same idea implemented in Canada with our indigenous people.

The King of the Jungle is complete!  
The little kitty purrs peacefully as she meditates, knowing her King has her back..  Kings.  
See it as 3 cats of the jungle if you wish, it's meant to make you smile, that's all.
The meaning for me is beyond words. Countless brushstrokes, thoughts, ideas.
As soon as it is framed in the snuggery it goes, where I will see it  every day.​ 41:10

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way
-- things that I had no words for.

Happy Thanks Giving Weekend Canada!

Not long ago I painted the Bear, Fox & frog.. Storm called it 'Moonlight sonata' and claimed it as his own, he rarely does this - I was happy to gift it to him, I  had my friend Kathy from Kats Gallery frame it (above)  for his birthday, as you can see he has hung  it in place of value! Beside the fishing poles.  Storms painting was a different mindset only a month or so ago.

I decided to paint myself a matching piece - this time 3 cats!
The Lion, Jaguar and kitty. Again, I sketched it and then stared at it for about a week.
This painting means already more to me than most will realize. 
More than I realized as I continue to work on it.  
The Lion.. the King of the jungle.  
As I was just painting, it crossed my mind..
I believe, I've met the King of the Jungle.
:)

"The King of the Jungle".   Are you the King/Queen of your jungle? I AM.
As soon as it's complete it's off to Kat to frame matching Storms then I will hang it where
I will see it first thing EVERY morning... to remind me of My King.
Give thanks and start my day.
​It will remind me to keep my strength, the King will look after me, so does the Jaguar... 
I am the cat, ready for  peace, love and prosperity.  

Before I started painting I picked up this piece of paper it says on the back:
"He will whisper words of comfort. That no other voice can speak."
Amen

A bible verse with the quote on the opposite side from my little 'Bread of Life ' holder, I have had forever : Isaiah 41:10 ¶Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
​
I carried it up to my desk, then I went on PIN for my good morning hello and to look at my cats, the first quote that found me was a bible verse..  amazing close to that I just put on my desk.. and I LOVE it. 

Protected by love I cannot fail.
Inspired by love I will not fail.

I like to say "I have an assistant"- who assist me and it's been a blessing this summer!
I was telling a friend I needed help, with all sorts of stuff, finding art, hanging art in the office, sorting the paint room and was at a loss.. she said "ask that girl at the coffee shop,  she likes your cartooning!"  Jessie, she had drawn me that cute little 'get sconed'.. what did I have to lose?  I asked she said "YES!"   I explained the deal, we would barter *as I do with many, for art lessons, original art - what ever.  She showed up an  we instantly hit it off. How could you not like her?    
I can't help but think of her as a firecracker- petite with red hair but huge on personality and talent!  We had a drawing lesson, more to see what she was capable of and I soon realized she was quick to pick up what ever I showed her & has what many do not-  the imagination to go with!   & her own distinctive style already- even if she does not realize it.  Next an introduction to gouache & sure enough her first sample, painted in her own time blew me away.. Check out the cute little bag she made for  the 'coffee scrubs':

After only a quick introductory lesson?? I didn't know if wanted to smack her or hug her! 
lol..  I get this way when I meet someone with artistic talent and find out they are not using it,  how does everyone not eat, breath and sleep art, I don't know.   ;) 
Jessie has joined me up at the cottage,  there too she was incredibly helpful and simply a pleasure to be around, although it is where Poppy 'decided to like her' - and since, is having no problems showing her affection as does Daisy!  You can hear her speak it "Jessies here!" she runs to get what ever toy she knows Jessie will throw.

What started as some assistance has turned into a friendship, I will miss her when she returns to school but will be visiting all the time - so that's good.   Never let age get in the way of speaking to anyone, as I teach her, quite offen she teaches me something as well.  I've got to know a  couple of her sisters and it is really  wonderful to know they are all smart, educated, traveled, kind, successful & funny young woman (well Jenny, another sister- she's another story, she cracks me up... I'm not sure why, she too manages to make me smile instantly- good thing, since I see her usually for 'our first coffee of the day)  they have been a blessing in our lives and I'm happy to know them!  * Jade too- who returns to law school in a few weeks in B.C. ! One more excuse to visit and I asked her to become 'something I can use..' Not a criminal lawyer- lol I know from our short interactions - watch out.  Just the thought of her being a lawyer - kicking ass- makes me smile.

Jessie also makes unbelievable body scrubs- so far I've had the lemon, coffee and  mint- they exfoliate my psoriasis and have helped get it a little more manageable lately, not to mention  stimulate all the senses.  I really think Jessie is going to be something- CREATIVE!  I look forward to watching it happen!  

I've included my favourite photo taken at the cottage.  
She has proven to be much needed & added sunshine this summer and I'm truly grateful to God for the  introduction.  & Jenny - for having her work in her coffeeshop and make fun of her 'little sister', as sisters do.  

Today she's coming over  I have a surprise a backyard painting journal!!! 
I'm forcing her to start one! lol   I'll show you when complete - she has talent and I can't wait to see it blossom! In full out gouache color!  
​Do what you love, surround yourself with people you enjoy and inspire and make you smile.  
​
Come back tomorrow to see 'our nature journal' and the FUN  'Hawaiian' photo op/cut out we made! 

​Have faith
xox <><    

* P.S. there are still about 3 people waiting for art - I've not forgot..
have faith, trust in me...  it will come,  you will see.  ;)

BTW all my framing is done by my longtime friend Kat of Kat's gallery. 
I highly recommend. :  https://www.instagram.com/kats.gallery/   
Just don't ask her personal questions about us, I can't remember if we are fighting or not, she probably can't either...  30, years I think.  hee hee hee  xox

When away, I slept.
I did not paint... which is blowing my mind.  3 little sketches, the one I did finish- I learned what 'rain does to Gouache' my meditation frog (below) was washed away..  so was I.
Up with he birds- and the birds were AMAZING!  I was in bird utopia! 
Arrrrgh! I forgot to bring some peanuts. 
From bed to the dock was my first stop each morning as the girls - Daisy & Poppy would need to pee. *thanks to Storm for leaving his dog with me. & I would sit and sip my tea.
I'd wander between the cottage and dock, in at 11 to nap...  deck, dock, bed nap.. lol!
Really.  I needed it bad. Holy cow.
I was instantly overtaken with the  peace and exhaustion- physically & mentally, took hold and said SLEEP. Thankfully, where ever I went, Daisy lay 3 feet away, ever watching me & Poppy. I LOVE my dogs. I love all dogs.  I was so relaxed I slept with all the windows and doors open on the hottest few days and  absorbed the quiet. Satellite Tv- I turned on and thought REALLY!?  REALLY Georgia!? It was in time for the line from Ghost Busters (* which I will watch @ my desk painting) "Do you have any Hobbies?"  - "I collect moulds, fungus and spores."  It cracked me up, lol - that is Storm.  He is anxious for  the fall foray season. ;)  I could NOT stay awake the first couple of days and hardly ate.  
My body was screaming and my mind called the shots. SLEEP
I even started to feel guilty- you're not painting...   oh well, sit back & breath.
I thought about a few people in specific on my mind lately all the time. 
I didn't shed a teaar- also hard for even me to believe - lol, I sat and chilled with Poppy & Daisy. We wandered, I caught a big frog and a tiny one, thew rocks and napped.

Now, I'm home for a bit & paint fumes drift up stairs,  the kitchen, it'c coming. 
Norm goes non-stop.  Bird is happy I am home. 
I tell you what... I feel stronger mentally  & physically :
God has me on the path, I just have to keep walking.
I know what needs to be done, there is no confusion in my mind.
I know what I want & I will have it.  
Focus on what I am here to do.  Draw.

I am drawing - it was an overwhelming desire yesterday - to draw about police abuse in America. Why?  SPEAK UP!! FOR EACH OTHER! We are ONE it should not be tolerated.
It's getting out of control, no wonder people are shooting cops- who does not think that?
Bring attention to it. Yes, there are great police officer out there but the evidence does not lie- thank God for cameras.  More on it tomorrow.
Understand also- I have a few Americans I'm really fond of - hee hee, seriously, I think about them and it's heart breaking. I want to have a few acres and tell them come on up, put up a tent and hang out.  This toon is born of love from my friends and I feel it does speak the truth.

Trump or Hillary?    .. .Hillary. 

A Thank YOU Universe & to my good friend Jim, I love that Guy  & everyone knows it.  
I was telling Storm what a wonderful friend he's been all these years, so many laughs. 
For assisting in providing me with peace & always showing me love.
You know, as I do with  everyone close to me at one time sooner or later it seems...
I put him to the test a few times & he has never left me.  XOX  Thank God.

xox Have Faith  <><

Sometimes I have to audacity to think I am in control of this life.. then I think:
Who am I? ​
I remember...  I AM not a body, I am free!  I AM as God created me.
Focus, lose the ego.   Move On.  
You are not here for 'that' reason. It's just a distraction. DO NOT let it get you down.
Pull up your big girl panties and have some fucking fun!
You deserve it- here it comes.  
I can't rush it- nothing matters, not money, connections, timing - nothing.
IF it is meant to happen it will... just have TRUST. 
Keep your mind & heart open ready for all  that comes your way.
My  post it note stuck to my comp:

ALL things are lessons God would've me learn.

I was speaking with a good friend and told him: If God wants me to be there, I will. "
It is that simple- regardless of what I THINK or feel for that matter.
When I say 'there',  I mean: there as in anywhere & everywhere, He wants me to be.
​
Right now I'm content being in my own office!
My assistant Jessie and I re-hung it the past 2 days, sorted and more.
I could not wait to get in there to day and paint!

A nice reminder to hang by my computer.. My Ego is not my Amigo. ;)

Tomorrow:
German bud!! My international Bud collection grows! <3

Believe <>< 

​

Let there be light! Every day is a new day! Give Thanks !!
For sunlight and moonlight! 
I asked what do you want to show me today? & this is what I saw.  
Big bold letters across my computer screen and my first thought was:
I'm sure it's been done.
Not by me... a child of God, wanting to express my love the best way I know how. 
I really am enjoying taking my time, calming my mind.
I'm researching, looking at natures beauty constantly, gives me a new appreciation for everything. If we can't get 'out to' see it - at least we can view it online.
What will you choose see today? 

Instagram has an incredible amount of talented people - enough to make me get off and draw!  I find it inspiring, especially when you see such talent from young beings all around the world! The key is becoming inspired and not absorbed, imo.  ;)

It took e a while for obvious reasons - plus a few distractions like going to see The Revenant with my guys, wow- action from start to finish -  & helped to put me in the snow mood with beautiful scenery - Filmed in Canada.   *Best Movie I've seen in a while BUT -  I do not like the movie theatre experience anymore.  I am fine to stay home and watch it on  TV. Unless its some "fantastic 3D movie', I'll pass.  

A few photos below of the process..  today I'm drawing otters! I did a little sketch and it turned out pretty "otterly cute' so I'm drawing it toon size!  Another Creature of God that holds hands when they sleep.
​
Tomorrow a Cannabis related cartoon about more lies & propaganda being said here in Canada.  

Believe
​xox <>< 

How true & thank God for the reminder. Everyday.
​
I just spent the morning (and have a few STILL) sending e mail to those I love.
Those who put a spark in my life and days they Inspire,  teach, make me laugh and show me love in countless ways, with gifts, e mail, notes, Skype dates and more. Time. 
People, my life is richer because of.  Not with $$ but with love and that is truly priceless.

              At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. 
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
                                                                     - Albert Schweitzer -

​I even apologized to a few for my... occasional mania, sending e mail...  You all know who you are and I truly thank you, for the times you ignore me and don't! LOL  
I like to think, I speak with only love and hope everyone remembers that when I get frustrated.  I have the feeling  they do. 

Time to paint & continue thinking of those I love, I am so excited to see what this years holds for ALL of US!!  
I plan on giving more.  Making more people smile.  Simple.

Happy 2nd day of 2016!

I love you.

There! Someone told you I love you, this year!!
That is the best way to start any year, day, moment. 

Oh, I already received a reply... no wonder I love this guy, he wrote back:

as for your behaving…I read a quote by Mae West on one of the beer cans I made some art for saying: 
“when Im good, Im very good. But when Im bad Im better”.     hihihi

so don’t behave yourself.;)

I plan on being me.
I am still as God created.

Believe
xox  <><

There is nothing like nature to bring me back to where I need to be. I believe it's the same with most of us.  Reading A Course in Miracles-  I was reminded simply: 
I am here. 
Every leaf, every stone, every bird every mushroom reminds me of God and Jesus and a presence that surrounds and comforts me - should I take the time to only stop, look & listen. 
While away, I couldn't stop thinking about fall- the colors the 'death of a season' getting  ready for snowfall and then rebirth in spring!  Birds are it for me- I can't take my eyes off of them. I was fortunate to see many bluejays while away and a giant woodpecker &  a deer family that visited at least 2 times a day. BUT - I missed 'My' bluejays who were born near my house & I have watched since babies. I am in love with Bluejays. They are curious, beautiful and funny. I have about 3 babies who visit regular & have no problems letting me know - there are no nuts in the bowl! 
Nature- it just does it's thing.  A reminder - God looks after us.  
Keep going, enjoy the sunshine, leaves, birds and small creature comforts that surround us and make us part of the planet. 
I am here.
Who walks with me? Always.
I know.
I can't find anything more comforting to me, than that.  
​
More nature from my mini Halliburton stay. Give thanks.
I hope too, some of you are enjoying a glimpse of Canada - rocks and trees - lol
I'm not sure of any of the 'mushroom names' and can't attempt to figure them out so..lol DONT EAT any from the wild! Unless you are positive they are NOT poisonous.
Can deer eat mushrooms that would kill us? I wonder....
Below also my best deer photo. My friend who lives up there - takes these beasts for granted- He see's them all the time- I think he was getting tired of me:  
"Jim! Come see the deer!!"      lol! 
I could not get enough - it's my new goal.  
I want a place to go and watch the deer & be closest with my creator... when ever I want.
Note to self:  * Let's make it happen Georgia!  ;)  How will I get my bluejays to come along?
The bluejay photos are from my backyard.

What does One Love mean?  
One Love, One Heart... Let's get together and feel alright! 
Read the paper.  People killing each other over everything. It's endless.   Yet, turn on Bob Marley song - how many sing along?  Not even thinking about the words.     I myself  have to remind myself, One LOVE is exactly that -  what should matter?    Not skin color.  I read today of a young black man who said he had been stopped  over 50 times in his life and questioned by police in Ontario! Wow. How sad is  that? I hope  instead it would be a reminder that God has made everyone of us different and we can't change the past, but we can take some control of the future! Start by being nicer to each other! SIMPLE! 
For one day -  keep in your mind ***We are ALL just humans here!***  
That just came to me - something I read this morning by Jon Mundy.
I know it sounds 'Hoaky'  but let's 'Give it a rest, shall we?

I'm planting a seed! 
The next time you are out walking, you will catch yourself judging someone! 
& you will say - *We ARE all just humans.  And you will stop. ;)

Skin Color, hair style, clothing, tattoos, stuff or lack of stuff, tops, topless - lol!  
No Judging!

The past is the past, I will learn from it but I will not focus on it.
I can only try NOW to  be better.

Time to PAINT! Time to spend with God.
I was called 'prolific' today.. lol - I had to look it up!  It made me smile! 
lol     Thank the Lord.

Fall is here and what a beautiful day it was. 
Yesterday I helped my friend Linda at the harvest Festival in keswick! it was a terrific time, I had the opportunity to spend some time with Linda's grand daughters- one of which is quite the talented artist, as well as pretty bright, I look forward to some cartooning lessons in exchange for some 'Instagram' lessons lol.  Poppy won 2nd place in the costume event! Woot Woot! 
In her little TuTu, tail all up in the air, she never barked at anyone,  was quite confident and curious about the horses/ponies..  she rolled in horse poop in her TuTu! 
O.M.Goodness! I mean come on how often does a girl get to roll in horse poop? 
I saw some friends I had bot seen in awhile and was grateful to the Kocky dog, I was able to medicate in the back, I'd rather not in front of kids.  I don't know how much help we were to linda in between horse carriage rides and face painting! LOL I am grateful she invited me regardless. I hope to next year have a table beside her.
Today, still exhausted I mostly puttered, played and drew.
A few photos... 

I love a garden! Life began in a garden! 
I was out again all day, Tomatoes. Peppers, Peas... but I am most excited about my sunflower wall! :) and Morning Glories! I have them every where and in a month - I will be blessed with Blooms! Oh, and I planted Cosmos! The flower of peace. My grandma had them everywhere and I loved them. TLC, KEEP the girls away and I should have a garden soon enough! With each seed you really are planting hope - I've had a few fail! A few I thin - they look good and the next day - dead. 
Not in my control. In Gods Control.  Every SEED. Human and otherwise... 

I can't help but dream- daydream, and imagine tending to my Cannabis plants! How high would they get 5', 6'?  What creatures would they invite to my garden ? Bee's I know and humming birds! LOL, a few friends might stop by at harvest time - and so what - I share my tomatoes, peppers and more!  I'd pick some fresh every morning to add to my juice! 
Just as I go out and pick fresh herbs for meals and salads and drinks.

What other plant has this stigma attached to it? 
What other plant helps so many in so many ways?
Why is it criminal to GROW a plant? ANY plant? 
WHO are the criminals?  
Who spends more on drug trafficking and less on human trafficking? 
WHO ARE THE CRIMINALS? 

God put it here for each and every one of us. 
Man did not invent it - how dare man - any man, claim it and why are we letting them? 
xox <>< 
Have Faith! 

This toon is for my best bud, Cathy. 
We rode earlier in the week and filled my bike basket with flowers!  
Poppy too! I said, 'All I needed was bread and a bottle of wine and I could envision myself in Paris' ;)  Hee Hee Hee, We had a great day of it, as usual. 
I hope everyone finds a friend like Cathy. 
I miss my bike, I hope it is repaired soon! 
We have EXPLORING to do! 

Proof. Facts.

It's been a long amazing day. A new adventure started with some good people. LOL
I am starting to scope out 'who I want to draw for'. Good People.
It finishes with thought of an exhibit in T.O.!!! 
Tomorrow will be one year since my surgery. 
I find it consumes me today. 
Fear refreshed.
Thoughts of tomorrow. 
If you think I have not thanked God for every single day you are mistaken...
and then I thank him for my family 2 legs & 4, 
& then Cannabis! 

Amen.

Best to be continued...

It is WHy I don't read the paper. Anger management.  I saw the cover with the street car, read the headlines and put it down, I had read enough.  Days later and I am hearing  more and reading more on FB, Storm and I talked about it and I'm still angry. Questions ?! NO SHIT there's questions!! So many I don't know where to begin.
ASK YOURSELF:
How many times was he shot? 
They used a 'tazer' AFTER he was shot ... how many times??
This cop waited HOW LONG?  
He was HOW far away from the street car?? 
The kids only had a knife?  
This happened in Canada?? 
There's more....?  

Don't forget to ask yourself... was this kid just in need of some fucking help?

Oh my God. Please forgive us, IF we let this continue to happen. 
OMG we are fucked if we continue to let this happen.

xox 
If you want to read more.. I can't. My head is throbbing just thinking about it.
Rest in Peace Sammy.

To delete or not to delete that is the question... 
Having a limit on Fb has posed a problem, I have people wanting to friend, I check out their page and see we have things in common or  I like the vibe they are putting out,  so I accept. 
Every now and then.. recently, I had someone start to message me. He wanted to argue about God.  Really, nothing more. 
He did not care for my opinion and insisted I should read my bible and I had to be an idiot to think any other way than his..  LOL
He knew nothing about me, had not been to  this website, only passed Judgement on a few quick FB posts.  I found it upsetting. 
Not that fact that he wanted to argue about God- If you know me you know by now - What ever it takes, I don't force anyone to believe in what I do- I know you can not. I do not consider myself a bible thumper - I've read it, I find it,  for lack of a better word interesting & entertaining. I am well aware of the fact it was wrote by mortal men. 
We shall leave it at that.  

If you do not believe in God, well - Oh, well. BUT to try to destroy what someone believes... have YOU NOTHING better to do???   <That is it in a nutshell. 
 - He was 1/2 across the world, when we became FB friends I was thrilled! I love seeing FB photos from other places and better yet, it is a first hand peek into a place I have never been! An opportunity to learn, share and friend.  * Some people have setting so you can NOT see all that is on their page UNTIL you friend them. I've had that rude awakening a few times... I think it's sneaky and a 'turn off' right there. 
Instead it seems all this person wanted to do was set about and destroy what brings others peace.  I had checked out his page and it was full of hatred, not just Anti God, but anti Jew, muslim, christian - you name it we are all stupid.  
UN Friend. SIMPLE. Done.

Why? Should I not try to  accept him and understand?  FORGET it. 
WHY the heck would anyone want to surround themselves with such negativity? It for me had nothing to do with God - Other that I have noticed it is the ' Atheists' On FB that remind me the most of God with all their posts -LOL Irony. 
The Lord works in mysterious ways.    

We have an opportunity to educate, explore, help, encourage, support and Make new FRIENDS all around the world! Send a positive message! 
FRIENDS... Are not someone that want to crush what you believe in because they don't,
and have nothing better to do that to fight with you about it.
If you're a nasty, name calling person - I would not hang out with you in real life so I'm not about to do it on FB.  
Life is nasty enough on it's own some days.
BTW, I also un-friend sometimes because IMO, I see people I CARE about posting things and I have a hard time not commenting, thinking - WTF are you thinking?  Others that pretend to be friends only to hear otherwise, I've no time for bullshit or games.  ;)
A few times, I need a space quick! So, I un friend a friend! A real friend. 
They can see my stuff anyhow and  they are true friends and know they an e mail me.  

You know .. It's nothing personal. 
It has boiled right down to the cartoon.
I just can't be bothered. 
I want to surround myself with Good, if you think something is wrong with that.. 
that is your problem and NOT mine. ❤ Un Friend      
Do not surround yourself with negative people - life is too short.
