Coward

F*cking Cowards.    opps sorry... 'One word' : COWARD.
This drawing on my desk before my son/sun was even up.
I read something was happening on isntagram and have watched the death tolls steadily climb all morning. COWARDS.
Storm reminds me 'These are people who have grown up seeing bombs drop their entire life and have seen family & friends killed countlessly. They are confused & have nothing to lose... raised to believe in a hateful, hurtful religion and education has been suppressed.' 
I love my son, still  he agrees 'cowards might be the right word'
Mentally ill, but not enough to know what they are doing.  COWARDS.
​I asked on FB here are some words people suggested:
​Lost, Vile, Evil, Cowards, Soulless, Devastation, Ungrateful, Homicide, Dedicated,  Brainwashed, Fooled, Deranged, Desperate, Islam, Mislead
& A  couple of more than two words (always happens):

"One Word : Coward = my definition : A lost soul that can't confront their own demons and instead go for false prophecy of something they can never obtain" 
 "
A very desperate person who has absolutely nothing to lose, driven by vengeance, hate, ideology and/or religion, and most likely someone who seen their loved ones killed from war. If you lived in a war torn country (probably caused by the USA) then you would see how someone can be driven to that point"
^^^
To the last I say: BULLSHIT.

I watched a clip the other day where a  woman was commenting  'stop blaming the West, we have been  slaughtering each other for before the United States even existed.  She also comments on how bad treatment is  to have your hand cut off, stoned in the streets, don't get me started on how they treat women. Not sure if link will work but this is it:
https://www.facebook.com/KenWebsterJr/videos/1913266932232481/?pnref=story
Yes, no wonder they do not have any respect or value for human lives. To witness this 'as a common 'way to treat each other, can only cause people to grow up ANGRY.
I truly do feel sorry for them.  I have researched this topic for cartoons I draw- they do have it terrible - BUT look at the numbers- and do NOT blame a race, culture, religion, country for the acts of a FEW  NASTY COWARDS.
Sick Cowards who want to hurt innocent people. 

Another thing, I know thoughts of suicide... MILLIONS have committed and will still & think about suicide daily, YET NEVER do they think of harming others.
JUST like every person who owns a gun does not go on a shooting rampage.

They need to be 'GLORIFIED' as what they truly are.
COWARDS.   Not felt sorry for or as 'victims'.
Not what they 'think' they are - or what other 'like them' think they are - they are nothing more than Puppet Cowards.  They have no respect for anyone or anything on the planet.
That terrorist in Russia who cut off that babies head a couple of weeks ago -  I wish she committed suicide before she killed that poor baby.
She is nothing more than a SICK coward who is using life as an excuse for being miserable, who takes it out on poor innocent victims. Coward waited until the parents left. Coward. Coward walks down the street blaming others for her act of hatred.  

Educate others on what they are. 
Do not blame the masses for the occasional murdering madman/woman.
Forgive me for my judgement today. I AM ONLY HUMAN.
One that does not believe in slaughtering other humans... I am not one to pass judgement or try to understand why..  but boy oh boy it's hard to see/hear & ignore.

Please send some loving, healing prayers and good vibes to Brussels.

Good Bye Cashy.

Cashy Hyde ❤ Rest in Peace
Well I had planned on what I was going to blog about all week and then was thrown a wee 'monkey' wrench, Cashy Hyde passed away. http://cashhyde.blogspot.ca/   I was on FB for only a moment and wanted to check out his mom's page to see how things were and I saw a sentence and went back to the 'safety' of my page to ask did Cashy pass?  I did not want to read it- I was not prepared ;-(.
 My head is still dizzy and I am trying to stay off the computer, when I read 'YES he did' I burst into tears. Not good under the situation. 
I thought about Cashy so much while in the hospital - him and my good friend Lauren.  Both have gone through so much - makes my operation look like Mickey Mouse ;-(   I wonder how they did it, and in Lauren's case will continue to do so.  Every time I felt like crying I thought of them for strength. 
I have cried a few times this week as it appears my twitch is still here. ;(
BUT - I am still here too.  Thank you God for that.  So -  FORWARD.
I read the thanksgiving blog and I am so touched and impressed with the woman that Kalli Hyde is - you have no idea. Her strength and sharing the details - I hope and pray it helps her to 'get it out'.   As HEARTBREAKING as the photo of Cashy is in his little coffin - I admire her for posting it as it is a fact. Children are dying from cancer.  If this photo hits home with just one person - they might make a difference, or at least might just be a little more compassionate to those around them & it might make some parents realize the gift that our children are.  I understand Kalli for doing this and  love the family for it, I am sure it was well thought out. 

Cannabis helped Cashy - Cannabis should be in my opinion one of the first choices when helping children with pain- be it from cancer, a terminal illness,  juvenile arthritis, HIV  - sadly the list is long. It is far less TOXIC that many other medications given to our babies every day. I also understood her calling the Dr. for Morphine.  To see your child suffer you would do what ever it takes to end the suffering.  Cashy is in God's arms. He was not here for long but he has changed the world, for the better. I am sure his mom being a nurse is one of the best nurses as she has a new understanding of compassion that thankfully many of us will not understand in our lifetime.  There is no greater love than a mother/father and child and to lose a child is the greatest loss. One I thank God I have not experienced, although I'd be a liar if I had not thought about it - (too much) you have a tendency to do that when Dr.s tell you: they only expect your son to live to the age of 12. 
My son is here and I thank God every day! LOL - especially recently - he is just amazing, helping me, cleaning the house, helping with everything and making me laugh! I've been pretty grumpy off and on and he has just ignored that. He is so friggen wise for 20 it blows my mind.  Kalli mentioned  Cashy was 'an old sole' and I feel this with Storm, they have already dealt with more in a life time than most of us ever will. 

I have so much I want to do today - I can get up and about but still have to take it easy - my body not fully co-operating with my legs and my head woozy after only a short time. I'm drawing and thinking of my next craft!  I am also going to enjoy all the beauty around me! 
The Christmas cactus that greeted on my kitchen table was not in bloom when I went into the hospital! Plants!!! Everyday miracles!  Enjoy the day! In honor of Cashy I will be posting 'how to draw a cute little monkey' later today.  
Tell your kid(s)  If they are 2 or 45... tell them.  
I LOVE you Storm!

Missing from this years EXPO...

10/6/2011

Michelle Rainey
One night Storm and I walking back from the hard rock we both had mentioned how much we missed Michelle. Just the presence of Michelle. We knew her briefly compared to most so I am sure we were not the only ones thinking about her. I heard that a friend won the Michelle Rainey award! - I do not know the details (will find out more) - I am sure it is an award for cannabis awareness and compassion beyond what others only speak about. Al who is P.A.C.E is another hard working gentleman, as is his wife and his good friend Mike. I really enjoy when I see them and look forward to our talks. I am learning the EXPO is not the place for that to happen. So once again I am inspired by Michelle... and continue to draw for change. 
Also missing Marc Emery.
His giant banner and his t-shirts and buttons and beautiful wife Jodie all there. All there for Marc.  I have never met the man, but with most things I try to do a little research -I have educated myself to know that he is a very determined and educated man with strong opinions and is not afraid of making waves for what he believes in. For that I admire anyone.  I told Jodie, it was a moment  when I am normally a very proud Canadian... I was a little ashamed.  I cannot believe that we (as a Country) sent Marc to the U.S.A  and for what - in all reality .. A PLANT.    A PLANT grown from a seed planted originally here by GOD. I shake my head just thinking about it. 
You never know what tomorrow may bring! It may bring Marc home. AT least back to Canada to serve the remaining time. It is cruel and unusual punishment to be taken so far away.  I also told Jodie I saw a documentary about  Jack Herer, he created his best work in jail!   The Emperor wears no clothes. http://www.jackherer.com/thebook/chapter-two
I can only imagine with Marc will come out with. That and a wicked guitar Duo coming up with Tommy Chong! ;-)))   I am excited about that.
Well, I think that was the only thing about the EXPO that I felt was missing ... of course Jack..  but we know people leave us,  some  we will never forget or stop missing.. for me it will be Michelle.   

Tomorrow... ladies of the EXPO!

Michelle & Storm. Everyone and everything happens for a reason. Michelle was one of the first to open her heart to Storm. I will be forever grateful.

NEW Treating Yourself magazine out!

Storm braved the snow to the mailbox for me. If you do not know I do not like snow! LOVELY to look at but thats about it. I live in Canada and do not know how to ice skate. The mail box - just around the corner had what I was waiting for!  The new Treating Yourself magazine!!  
Before I was in treating Yourself ( The happy Hippie) we would buy it at the corner store because we found it to be one of the most informative, educational and entertaining magazine out there.  I read it from cover to cover. Before TY it was Oprah ;-) 

Now my strip The happy Hippie has been in the magazine since issue 16, 2009. I can't tell you how THRILLING it is a a cartoonist to pick up a magazine and see your work in it!  BUT to have a magazine that you believe in, Inspires you! It's a dream come true. 

I feel blessed to be in Treating Yourself. Over the years I take copies to Dr.s, give them to friends to read and leave it out on my coffee table for all to browse. I am PROUD to be a cartoonist but I am even prouder to be someone that might make people smile and think about Cannabis. 

6 years ago I set out to become a syndicated cartoonist! Little did I know that a few years later, It is not about syndication but more importantly  about bringing an awareness to others about Cannabis as medicine. I know first hand what Cannabis can do. I witness it every day. God has put us on this path (Thank you!) I get to use my gift - that brings me happiness and peace! My son gets pain relief from Cannabis. 

Last week someone sent me a copy of TY in the mail to please autograph!
WOW! How cool was that!? It included a SASE to send it back to The U.S.A. I was honored and slipped in a matted toon to say thanks! 

If you get a chance pick up your copy and see why I am so proud.
I do not even submit my work to the syndications anymore. I am quite content doing what I am doing. It is with LOVE and that is all that matters. 
Time to go make a tea, snuggle with my new magazine and have a good read and get inspired! 

I'll keep a marker in my purse just incase you want your copy signed !
 hee hee

The Not so Happy Hippie... Goodbye Michelle

21/10/2010

0 Comments

 
When my son first got his  license to use Cannabis I remember reading an article by Michelle Rainey. Finally, I thought!  After seeing many magazines  
(learning and doing our research -Storm more than I) I read an article in Treating Yourself by someone that you could tell cared.  I wrote to Michelle told her about our son  & thanked her for her inspiration. She phoned that night. She spoke with Storm on the phone and told him to be brave. As she did with me. She was So Happy for him, that Cannabis helped his pain. Michelle believe this with every bone in her body. 
SHE KNEW.


She sent Storm his first package in the mail. I won't go into 'details' but
needless to say Storm thought Christmas came early! And became a fan of Afghani Bull Rider. (These are things you learn about ;-) Every time we saw her it was huge hugs no matter who was around, Michelle continued to make sure Storm had some cool new T shirt and I was always welcomed to phone her anytime day or night. 
I also have a couple of T-shirts! I shall wear with even more pride NOW.
Although Michelle filled hers out better. ;-)

We did not get to talk as much as I would have liked. She was a Lady on a Mission and DID it WELL. She was a Compassion Cultivator! ;-D 

Not many women can pull off RED lipstick. Michelle could! Her passion, as red as her lips! Her heart as big as her t-shirt. I bet she looks fabulous
as an angel!  Especially the red lips ;-*

A sad loss for Cannabis advocacy. A great loss for friends and family. 
I had a hard time drawing this tonight but, could think of nothing else ;-(
it brings the reality of this journey all the closer to home. 
Good Bye Michelle THANK YOU.


I have no doubts you are in God's hands. 
Tonight I will pray for strength.
