Never...

3/12/2016

Never, I won't do it. It is what 'saves' & inspires me every single day of my life.
For example- when ever I've seen a helicopter circle around- I yell "Come get me! Here I am!" I've alwasy been this way- isnt this called 'Dreaming BIG? '
When I was younger - on long car rides.. I'd be riding a horse outside the car or better yet be on the back of a bird! On the rare occassion - even a flying carpet would do.
You've never been on the back of a bird? Awww... that's too bad.

I have constantly - my entire life been told- "you're dreaming."
I'll tell you what... I am and alwasy have been a dreamer, & I am a lot further today than many people I grew up with that never did. In many ways.

Dreamer? A dreamer who makes her dreams a reality and is not afraid to continue to do so.
Not all my dreams come true - not yet. it is my imagination which carries me through.
I won't wallow in - it's not going to happen - I continually think of - what it's going to be like when it happens!!! & IF IT does not happen - then it just means soemthing BETTER is on the way! I don't have failures - I have lessons. ;)

I will continue to dream, every detail will play out in my head- oh, what pleasure I will explore today! Like the cave of my mind- looking for paintings never before discovered! If you dream it enough- it soon becomes a reality, perhaps not to every specification but the feeling, the joy, the excitement, the adventure - will all still be there.
If you dream it - you desire it you make it happen- you don't even realize it.
Just by drawing my dreams my heart feels bigger, bolder and BETTER.
Time to paint!!

What do you dream about?

Have Faith

Today's cool...

9/8/2012

From reality T.V and the news, FB, reading the paper- and witnessing life... wow Teens today! NEVER MIND teens today! PARENTS TODAY! If your teen thinks it is COOL to have a baby - I will say it > where the heck are your parenting skills!?

IT is not COOL for the amount of TEENS to be having babies that are having babies! Not married, (not that really matters- I have many friends 20 years later that no longer married) do not have steady jobs are in many cases do NOT even finish their high school education. More and more babies are being born to young moms- who really are not ready, prepared for the 20+ year job they just took on! AND no dads! A generation is being brought up without dads. Or more of what I am hearing a generation being raised by already also stressed grandparents because young moms soon find they have a hard time handling.

You read and see it every day. IT IS harder for teens today!

$$$ schools- $$$, no jobs, parents working harder, parents working more hours less family time.

The most important second thing that appears to be COOL - guns and gangs. NOT COOL

It speaks for itself especially in this city Toronto that I grew up in. This summer full of guns, death, gangs and violence. IT's NOT cool. Sadly most realize how UN cool it is once they are in jail or have lost a life.

ATTITUDE. Kids are getting away with so much attitude. They think it's o.k. /cool to walk up to a stranger and tell them to go fuck themselves. They walk around angry and miserable. Sadly they grow, angrier, nastier and alone. The crap they get away with IN school is terrible - I feel for teachers and other students that grasp the importance of an education but are forced to deal with others attitude and Bullshit. Not COOL.

All this is on the rise... WHY? Where are today's parents? WHEN your children are young they need direction and LOVE and they need to think - ahead of the moment to see that what they think as today's cool could have them turned into tomorrows Fool. Sad all around. They don't need all that STUFF that parents work so hard for, most do not appreciate it anyway.

TEENS are big kids. STILL needing lots of LOVE - even more! Patience and teaching - after all they will soon be tomorrows adults and that effects us all.

DON'T LIE to them about Cannabis. If you drink ALCOHOL - make sure they understand how many lives are ruined by alcohol daily on every level - EDUCATE them so they can be the intelligent beings they are - with a chance at a positive future.WE all need to Teach our children about moderation, choice and responsibility.

xox LOT's of LOVE they can never have too much LOVE.

It's a BEAUTIFUL morning!

I woke up this morning with a cartoon in my brain! One of the ones that I HOPE - PRAY will make people think! Can't wait to draw it! Also my husband handed me the money for the printer for our comic book. Like many of you money is tight - to say the least. To know that my guys believe in me and what we are doing is the best feeling in the world.
I can not fail with LOVE backing me. Today we are invited to celebration
where there will be many other legal Medicinal Cannabis patients. I look forward to meeting them as I always walk away inspired! By strength and passion. I'll post a few photos later tonight.
So now I draw! One step closer to my dreams I am drawing my dreams come true! I am using my gift provided by God - that I have always had-
to MAKE my dreams come true! Only it took me this long to realize it!!!
The best part of this gift it I can give it to others! All is costs me is my time. I drew a toon for a friend Neev. Neev runs C.A.L.M - He has been battling in court for Medicinal Cannabis and his Compassion club. He fights for all of us wether we realize it or not. I have also gotten to know a bit of the other side of Neev- The dad, business man and friend. I am glad he fights for us. I am glad to call him my friend.
I love drawing for someone as I think about them the entire time I draw. How we met, things they have done and said... how they inspire, made me laugh. Of course each drawing is done with LOVE. He will get it next week I am so excited I want to post it but I want it to be a surprise! Either way it is a win win situation! I get to thank them and they smile when they see their drawings. One step closer to GAKAC! LOL

Time to draw!

Goodbye Facebook

7/11/2010

I can't do it. Not at this time. Facebook for me is too much of a distraction. I like seeing what's happening , photos and keeping up to date with friends but find when I think - Oh , I'll just check what's happening.. next thing I know an hour is gone. I'm beeped, send invites, messages etc.
How easy it is to be pulled into all of this. My biggest problem is people who openly like to bitch, fight or spread negative stuff on face book for all to see. Then you see others who jump right in. Sometimes not knowing the other people or the full extent of the situation. NOT for me.

I did like the fan page but I believe, as you are aware in God and have faith. If my toons are meant to be seen they will be with or without facebook.

Perhaps I'm just a 'pussy'. I also cut off cable and don't read the paper.
I am choosing not be absorbed with all the negative news. I want to make the world a better place. Hard to do when you are constantly being dragged down but negative images and horrific stories (true) I have a hard time shaking that stuff. I have enough stress in my life and know many people who are all in the same boat. No wonder there is so much depression and desperation.

So this is it. This is the only 'official" place at the moment where you will see my cartoons. Here and Treating Yourself Magazine and Canna Talk. I am going to focus on getting that book out!
Less facebook MORE face to face!
xox <>< time to draw!

KOWABUNGA! Did you ever think you would be so happy to hear those words!? ME NORMAL!? Thank you God! ;-) I will sleep better tonight then I have in months. I felt the vibes and prayers!
With such a crazy condition - it is easy to think the worse with it invading your life hourly without any control. BUT DARE not think it !
Sleep ... ;-))
I sit now with a smile on my face.

ANYHOW! ONWARD! A great day it started with a normal brain phone call. A PINK ginger-bread-man (I LOVE gingerbread men, I don't care if they are gay! I LOVE them all) to celebrate the good news. Thank you Shirley ;-) It was a very nice gesture! You remembered ;-))
Then some time with Storm . A walk, a talk and a drive. Always a pleasure.
Some nice e mail - thank you kisses and wishes. And now I draw!
My mind is lighter, my determination stronger, my heart bigger!'
My faith stronger!!

Oh an a Good Giggle from a friend who's reply was...

BTW Great news about your brain...although they should probably look closer,"normal" doesnt seem to be an appropriate adjective for your brain,
hahhahahiiii!!!

I know the rest of you were thinking it! LOL!
Time to ink and sleep. New toons posted tomorrow.

What to do while Waiting...

20/8/2010

0 Comments

I've been waiting for a date. It is soon. it is hard not to think about something that you have no control over. I have several things I have no control over.

We all do.

But, what to do? Pretend? EAT, DRUNK & be Sad? Act, sleep, deny, cry, LIE?
I've done them all. Then I surrendered. It does not mean giving up. It means letting go. Admitting when you are not strong.
Use your gift.
What has God given you? I can draw. I can share. I can keep going.
I am blessed with a talent - but more, I am blessed with a supportive husband - who pays all the bills, and is still my biggest fan.
A love of my life son, who inspires me every day! EVERY DAY. I love him more as he gets older, and more mature and becomes a better person, because he wants to. I get to draw! I'm not syndicated - who cares! I am doing what I love, brings me peace and truly makes me happy.
I am blessed.

Get up! Draw! Cook for a homeless shelter! Crochet a blanket for a shelter!
Write a thank you letter to ANYONE for something! TALK! LISTEN! SHARE! SERVE. I refuse to give up. ;-)

P.S. I think the bible is really a great instruction book, it helps a lot.
YOUR CHOICE!
Tonight's cartoon... on homepage. xox <><
