'Art supplies..  
A new brush to start a new adventure. 'ZEN is the name, I took it for a test spin - it feels lovely!   Wee..   so good, I'm going to go to bed so I can wake at 5 and start a new painting!
A new moleskin - plastic shall stay on- until I'm on the plane. 
Paint! Oh My Gouache! lol That's gonna be my new saying.
Oh My Goauche! It costs anywhere from $7.00 to $24 for a tiny tube! Wee!
When you invest in  professional supplies - you usually see different results, from experience. I really do enjoy the Windsor & Newton * a tip** Dip your tube in a bit of clean water before you re-attach the lid. You'll thank me.  & DO not forget to close the tube- if it dries it DRIES out. Why waste it?  It assists in our creation, use every drop.  
I also picked up a very cool travel palette which I can customize.  
My desk easel will be waiting our arrival!

Blank cards- I have a new STASH! lol  
I ran out... a while ago.   Hee Hee Hee.. I might actually mail some.
Now a box sits in front of me and tomorrow  I'm going to paint someone a card.
& thank them for something - I don't know who or what yet.
Can you think of a better way to start a productive, positive, thankful day?
I'm sure God will let me know who  for.  
It is the least I can do to give thanks for being blessed with all that I AM,  always.

This 'eye was playing with paint... as I think of my editorial. 
My next EYE will be wide awake with NO bloodshot!
As most of the cannabis professionals I know are... hard at work, successful always on top of it.  Passionate Planters.   
With them leading by example the top dogs will diminish the stigma of a Stoner! 
Amen.  

I love to Listen to the Rain as I drift off to sleep.

Much.

The mushroom meal was fantastic as always.  
The Plate I painted and picked up early (thank you Crocka-doodle Georgina) was a hit and the gentleman who won it couldn't thank me enough.  I guess I've started a new tradition.. a plate to donate to each meal. My pleasure.  I plan on taking my ceramic painting up a notch.. what can I say?  Am I bragging - yeah - perhaps-  what ever you do - put all your love into it.  I will be creating  lovely works of art on ceramics because I'M going  to WORK at it, I think about it - color combinations, what if I try this -when I'm not there I think about it.
IT IS HOW you get better at whatever you do - think about it, be passionate!!!  
I'll never be called boring - that's for sure.  ;D.

Each piece of ceramics I'm still leaning & it will forever be that way, the plate was # 4.
#3 was special.. I want to teach myself how to paint the night sky so I can paint Bears.
I made Storm a cereal/noodle bowl  "We are Stardust".
Everyday we become better at what ever we put love into like our Art, a bowl we are painting  our children, each other.

If only it was that easy with humans we put/send/hug  love.
Sometimes my mind gets stuck and I don't understand it - 'It thinks about what/whom ever the Feathers it wants and it feathering makes me angry..   Breath.  I'll be gardening, painting and WHAM there it is.  Suddenly I am thinking about something completely different -almost as forced.  Where does this come from, are we meant to be thinking of something different?   I believe so. 

Do you ever 'feel love' from stranger? Someone you just meet, perhaps far away, through e mail? Yes, of course we all do.  It's how love & countless relationships begin now all across  the world. I believe the internet was created to BRING US ALL together.  Some in more intimate ways than others. Many of us disregard every time God sends someone in our lives- we ignore because we are busy, distracted, tired... many reasons.  

Invited to OC by a friend I met online almost 20 years ago, a Dr. who likes to write in his spare time (don't forget tennis), how cool is that?!  This a.m. I giggled as my Italian friend Dom on Instagram passionately describes his new Jaguar, he feels like Bond- lol, suddenly I think 'frig I've known Dom a long time..'  he lives in Italy and has been inviting me for over a decade at least to come visit.  He is also a Dr.   I seem to have a thing for attracting very intelligent men into my life - bring it on.  ;)  Intelligent, successful, passionate gentlemen, compassionate about many thing with huge hearts & FUN! Enjoyable men. They make me laugh & smile,  it  does make me laugh because 'I'm ME', and in many cases quite opposite but it is  there is an 'attraction' that's obvious all the same.  I'm thinking I am meant to travel & paint.  Some of my best friend are very smart men.  Amen. 
​Brains are defiantly appealing to me.  lol  thankfully.
Only with those who choose to use them daily. ;)  
​What does God have in store for me? Wait and see.

On the drive to the dinner due to traffic & rain the topic of losing someone in a car accident came up, Storm and I lost someone quite a few years ago now. A lovely young woman taken way too soon imo, still the thought & mention of her name tears welled in both our eyes.  Just for a second, long enough. GO enjoy this meal & time with your son. 
Does it ever heal? No, not completely.. that's 'that crack where the light/love comes in'  that others speak of..   the light is others God send and says: Look.  
Or  it's those we lost, briefly back to give us a kick in the ass.. gentle mental reminders.  
Lost love.  Don't dismiss.

I believe people who die & love us can help us, have you ever felt an embrace when your  crying on your knees?  I have..  
That embrace is  what lifts us up, takes away our tears and keep us moving forward.  
Listen.  Pay attention is all I can say, to simply disregard it as a fleeting thought- is a fleeting opportunity for love. 

Storm, on the drive to the dinner assured me..  "GO, Your going to have the best time!"
Yep. I believe we will.
NOW, I NEED to paint.. my mind is mixed this morning as you can read, and a few emotions too I'll admit. Nothing a good painting session won't help sort out.

    GOOD things coming my way!  Better every day!  
                                       I FEEL it!  

Don't you?  

with love

On the weekend My son invited me to the LIFT EXPO, It states on the radio
'Canada' premier cannabis EXPO..  Treating Yourself medical cananbis expo's were the Premier Expos. Seems like yesterday, boy they were fun.  Storm still 'a kid'.  Now I walk the EXPO with a 25 year old talented, intelligent, passionate & handsome, NICE young man.
If I do say so.  Of course I had a good day. 

I did hear a speaker & he boldly stated loud & proud- 'Do not kid yourself, if not for advocates & patients - cannabis would NOT be where it is in Canada Today. Fact.' Dana was also on point and loved the red shirt. 
How was it? It was informative - But I know it all - Hahahaha!! (Don't all females?)
There were many dispensaries, some I'm not aware of yet and know nothing about, some I DO know about and would advise ALL to avoid like the plague.  I've blogged about a few in the past.    PLEASE educate yourself ...    WHO do YOU SUPPORT with your dollar?
Are they GOOD people or just money making greedy assholes.  Do they believe in what they are doing? Or are they  just money making greedy..  
Do they care about cannabis as a medicine? Or are they just...        
WHO DO YOU want  GROWING YOUR medicine.
What you put in your body.  

Oh, there were many incentives I heard, sign up now and get your first medibe FREE!
Sign  here and get 15% off!   Sign here and get this sweet T!!
For me?? lol     I went to the First LIFT expo- a couple years back.. they've gotten better,  still not what TY was - I do  believe it will become as good in a couple years.

What I did NOT like: 
Seeing the dispensary of the one who 'stares me down in public'. lol 
& the one run by the person associated with Oxy.  Phhhhbt.  
The VAPE lounge IMO.. I felt not  'sanitary' I went outside and smoked a joint instead.
It  didn't feel .. 'fun'   Life is still about fun.  
Or very creative to be honest- except for that big GREEN thing and the 'airline girls.
I didn't FEEL FUN/comfortable/inspired.  
Bombardment of franchises - making me wonder & realize  - it is what it is.
Buyer beware.   Phoney people (imo), I did see a couple, who needs it - keep moving. 

What I did like: Walking around with Storm, noticing girls giving him a wink and smile from time to time.  lol       Seeing & Hugging many I've not seen in years.
Adam & Erin and Adam getting us our TWEED (giggle)  stash jars- which I like  ;)
Hugs from Gilles! My buddy from Advanced - and meeting his lovely wife for the first time, she's heard about me...  lol  
​Jimmy! From CannaMart He spied me - walked over grabbed my sore hand (very gently) and started to massage it. Wise man... perceptive.  We hit it off and  gave each other hugs with each passing! The cream NOW sits on my desk and I'm using it daily! 
​Patrick of Conspiracy Culture - he looked  REFRESHED! Antonio was at NORML Canada, Steve & Fillipe from CubeCaps - I hung out in the booth for a bit and I'd have to say.. people were raving about this product. Amy was there in heels  giving me hugs! Al & Butterfly grabbed me, unexpected for an interview - I apologize, I heard Tamara (who also loves small dogs) was listening and I told her about POPPY! & California- can you tell I'm ready for some California Dreaming?
I met a few new people Storm introduced me to, all wonderful - Of course.
I picked up Stickers for Josh's sketchbooks.
I was introduced to someone who  'Yeeeeeeeed!' lol at meeting me- and said she has a postcard by her desk! Geez,  for that response - soon she'll have a little original. 
EZRA, from the moment I noticed this man I thought 'what a nice guy'.
Ezra is a talented Photographer and more- above all else-  he makes me feel at peace being in his presence. Simple.  I'm told he  lives what he speaks. He wears HEMP head to toe - LOVE IT!  It was an honour.  He asked to take my photo.. which - you know- is a ? who knows if  you will catch me in twitchmode - He makes me smile and I was nervous.. oh well.  
I of course asked for a photo as well - turned out awesome (below)  & get this- I was right about him...  he is voted one of Canada's Nicest people!!
By ROOTS. I will tell you when it's time to vote. EZRA is nicest person I know, follow him!  We all need nice in our lives. I try to be nice - me makes me want to be nicer. lol 
www.ezrasoiferman.com   TWEED knows what they are doing when hiring him, imo.  
​
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few many laughs- especially when the 'watering Giant' started to tumble! hee hee   I WAS ZONKED when home-  passed out in bed at 10.
IF you don't know- sure Go. $15. would be a better price ticket, IMO 
I guess I have to admit: I was Lifted by LIFT.  

With Love.
