What  my realization  yesterday was that I WAS walking with the dogs - a long and not even walk through a near by field and I realized I was NOT twitching.   
It was getting so BRUTAL I went to the Dr.s. Friday...  Ready to talk brain surgery ;(.. trouble walking, constant zapping, poking in my head with pencil - EXHAUSTED from 'THIS  *&^%$#! ' where I was napping 3 times a day, can't focus - was screwing up mail! & when I screw up mail- I sent the one meant for Toronto to the UK and visa versa.. but what can I do - you have no idea how difficult this truly is- those closest to me & who SEE me understand more.  I mentioned a medication I have been researching for cartooning reasons of all things, a friend mentioned it how it helped  them with exhaustion - I had just watched a documentary where it was discussed and I then really weighed out my options & then discussed it with my Dr. whom I trust and am blessed to have. 

Pills or brain surgery or - who knows. The prescription granted.
​"You have to take it in the a.m. or you won't sleep" the pharmacist warned  Norm, (do you understand it got so bad I have stopped going OUT) "and she will feel it right away."
So, I got up and said "here goes"... Took one, had breakfast & took the girls right away
I have to go EARLY with none around because I can't walk all three.
They listened well  it was a really nice walk with snails.. and I remember thinking
         "Feel it right away? It's 2 hours later I feel nothing. F*cking bullshit... "  
and started to think why bother ...  it won't work.. then I realized:  
I'm not twitching as I stumbled over a rock. The more I walked the more I noticed..
I walked in the house- Norm was reading the paper- I said:  "LOOK at me!"
He did.. and I just said LOOK.. he said wow - "both your eyes are really open!"
​ & they stayed that way for more than 5 minutes! That is how long I've not had a break- for YEARS.  He watched and said "WOW, you're  not twitching.. " & I saw he teared up.

Thank you God for this break- yes, these are HAPPY tears.  
I am getting BREAKS 20 - 60 minutes and they are less intense. Oh my gosh I pray this works Of course I'm leary of the meds- but it was truly effecting my quality of life- between it and the arthritis- which I also  am being asked to go talk about anew medication which my Dr. believes will SLOW mine down but I'll need a Trillium grant.
YIKES.   That means for those who do not know  - $$$$$$.
We'll see.  I've yet to meet with that specialist. I am embracing this NOW-
​OUT in the garden with MY GIRLS - Social media can wait- I did celebrate by putting a contest on my Instagram account: WIN a SUMMER custom cap! By me.. 

Enjoy the day - embrace it!
With TLC & THC - and a few chemicals - for now ... we'll see If it does not continue to work
I'll probably discontinue it.  
The THC & Poppy keeps me off of ANTI depressants and helps with my pain & has saved my son's life as well as countless friends. Forgive Justin Trudeau for allowing any reefer madness - he has bigger issues to focus on, - it will happen VERY SOON!
Got your gardening gloves?

I give thanks to God & Great Growers very day! 
Amen.

​GO enter here:   Instagram Georgia Toons.  The hat is below- I'll draw the winner on Friday.
Cannabis &  fear mongering tomorrow. Legalization SOON!
Will you be busted for walking down the street for smoking a joint?
​I HIGHLY doubt it.

We are all connected - Georgia Toons postcard collection grows.
My new postcards were dropped off and I'm thrilled with them - I've already mailed a few around the world! Hee hee  -to a select friends whom I do feel connected to. Did you get one?  The timing perfect - it's going to be a lovely weekend with temperatures into the +15 - +19 (Monday) and with the weather arrives MUSHROOMS!  LOVELY little fungi which nourish our minds & souls  & NOW these beautiful postcards to share the good connections with all we know.

                These postcards would also make lovely foray or dinner  invites.
                                   Thank you cards for fungi loving friends.
          It makes a handy Bookmark too- you can write on the back.  I'm using one now. 
         It looks lovely on a shelf perhaps by your mushroom cook book collection.
                        Suitable for framing. It can be used as a simple teaching tool.

                 WE are all connected- you just don't see our 'roots'.. our  mycelium.
                   We are all different - all useful - all beautiful - all here to TEACH.
We are all connected - with the internet NOW - we can make friends all around the world! How awesome is that? OmGosh - todays giggle was when I heard FB DID admit to not READING terms & conditions on an ap. they were using... they just clicked 'agree. 

I feel it - We are all connected, It's something repeated on Gaia, ACIM, The power of NOW, Be here NOW, the holy Bible & many more educating opportunities, which is addressed constantly - don't dismiss 'feelings' - I feel connected to Caves in France!  Just typing gets me excited- do you feel it? Ask! BELIEVE! Receive - Amen. How cool to imagine going to France - I'll mushroom hunt while there too.  I feel it getting closer every day! I 'feel' people....   most of them  feel pretty darn good. 

Poppy est si excitée, elle peut difficilement se contenir - son amour du fromage, du bon vin, de la gastronomie et de l'exploration des cavernes - après tout elle a visité le Getty en Californie - elle a une nouvelle veste créée pour notre aventure en France - Oui Oui!  Ha haha Peut-être trouverai-je ce bel homme aux cheveux blancs qui continue d'apparaître dans mes rêves éveillés ... oui, oui.

Don't teach them to post nasty remarks on strangers pages... I read how young girls are becoming meaner at younger ages - in nursery school.  Where the heck do you think they learn it?  Are they listening to mean moms? Watching mean moms sitting beside mom - watching some HorribleHousewife show?  In nursery school?!
Why would anyone watch these  shows where women backstab, fight, argue, alienate other women? Who wants to aspire to this?  What do you take away from that sort of TV? 
Mean baby girls learn from BIG mean Girls.    
I know when I pay attention to mean women, I can start to feel a little mean myself...
I'd rather paint.  

Mean girls/women don't have to say anything- some are incredibly manipulative - they  do it other ways..  I know a few, we all do.  I just listened to a pod cast- the 'new thing' is  to 'alienate people online' - TRY to embarrass them on social media -  try to remember it all stems from fear, hate & jealousy.  
This morning I was reminded how serious it all can be when I read this story:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/jeremy-quaile-knightley-dog-death-calgary-1.4602948   It's sad all around.. there is a common demonator- ALCOHOL. 

Trolls alienate with little words here and there, spread hate & lies...  just like in grade school - if you don't belong to their 'little Clique', follow their rules, kiss their ass =  you are worthless - little spoiled brats turn into middle school bitches who grow up to be first class c*nts.    Everyone talks about 'how bad men are' - women can be equals in every way.

Imagine how hard it is for little girls NOW...  as much as I as 'an adult' try to ignore and keep positive....  stuff still gets to me sometimes.  It hurts at ANY age.    Men & women.
What do you do?   Start to agree with what you don't agree with?  Feel sorry for yourself?  Hash it out with them on Facebook- for many to watch with few understanding.  
Teach your little girls:
Turn off  the petty bullshit &  turn in and turn on your talents!   

When they can't hurt them with words they try to alienate &  'Black list' ... Brendan Frazer experienced the same ordeal,  first sexually abused then black listed. I HOPE more men talk about #metoo.  A tag team black listed me - an American & Canadian - 2 Cannabis (self proclaimed) Queens.   At first I was confused & hurt.. why?   Now..   who cares?  Phhhbbt.  Frankly after watching  these women the past 7 years & hearing from many about their behind the scenes antics - they are the last people I would want to socialize with or be associated with in real life.  I see them no longer as they represent themselves to others -  NOW, I see them how they truly appear & have presented themselves to me.

DELETE negative comments on your social media page. DELET/BLOCK nasty people.
I don't get many negative comments thankfully,  but I've seen many on friends pages- from strangers who don't even know them. Delete them. Quick, press a button gone. Just like they should be - why give them any satisfaction of spreading anger & hate with nothing better to do in this life - they are truly the saddest & angriest. 

Please take the time to comment something truly positive & nice today on social media,
I look for other artist - I know a little encouragement goes a long way. It's easy.
Focus on your gift  & keep improving, be in your bliss, enjoy your day.
Let nasty continue to Focus on nasty=  mean gets nastier, uglier,  two in particular have gone down hill the past few years...  who do they have to blame? Themselves.
​
I don't know how I would handle  if I had a little girl who related feeling like this so early - I would teller to get use to it because it'g going to happen to her, her entire life & then I'd teach her to paint or garden, sew...

I'm painting some POSITIVE, beautiful women- women who raise up and encourage on this planet - who help each other & help the planet. Actually, today I'm painting a monkey in space - to promote  DARK week.  :) 

I just found out this amazing  ICON, this incredible woman is in Toronto - 'sold out'.. I wish I could see her so much.. instead I'll  honour & thank her with a painting.

You are created to create!
Let the haters hate.

I wish I could teach everyone how to paint.

Vase card- above 5 x 7 mini original, up for grabs on my IG. account..
Follow to be eligible.  ;)  When I painted it I was thinking it would go to a girlfriend who reads - lol  it's a good idea to have a recipient in mind for cards when creating them.
Most originals I keep - but this one I've decided to give to someone who likes and comments on the post - so I know they are really interested. 

I do not follow because I struggle already  with 'keeping up'.
I do check out everyones page who does follow (if not private)  & thank you for your support. Some on my friends list are actual friends & I like to see how they are doing since I don't 'venture out' much.
​
There are so many creative beings out there! It's stimulating & DISTRACTING..  
I ask myself:  

Georgia, do you know how that person got so good as an artist?   
My response:  "Not surfing facebook or instagram.. "

Love is in the air!  It's February and I'm making valentines! 'A little early  -you might add.
YES! I have to make it early so I can share it with you - in time for you to make one too!
This little card turned out better than I expected- it made me smile when i was complete and - it actually worked! 

Roses are Red Cannabis is green- this is the cutest little 'canancard game' I've ever seen!
Spin the centre & You'll see - who your Valentine Bud  is to be! Hee Hee Hee
A interactive card - Let's Play!
Not sure how you'll spend Valentine day? I've taken some of the guess work out for you!
Give it a spin- start your evening with what the Canna Wheel suggests- heck spin until you sample them all!  Once complete- I found myself spinning just for fun, Storm was impressed and gave it a spin too.  The best part of this Valentines Day Card- YOU don't need a partner! Make it and 'play with yourself.   ;)   Show yourself some love.

I' have included the Free Download links below - click on the link  to print it in color or black & white. 

I painted my card on water color paper- so it is stronger...  
If you are printing yours I do suggest these steps:

1. Print your card
2.Color your card
3.Glue the entire sheet to a piece of cardboard- an empty cereal box would do
4.Let it dry over night
5.Cut it out and assemble as in the steps below.

Supplies needed:  Scissors, white glue, crayons, pencil crayons, paint   & one Brad (found at craft supply stores & the dollar store- IF you don't have  a brad'  use some string with knots tied to hold it into place.

By gluing your paper to cardboard it will make your card stronger and spin easier.  I have included the version you can color yourself & the colored version to print if you wish.
Come on Give it a Spin! Have some loving creative fun!

* Make this card,  then  #cannaspincard your photo on Instagram with @georgia.toons  or IG in a message & I'll mail you out a set of postcards for playing along & anyone who tries will  also be entered into a draw for a free  original - inspired by and filled with LOVE.
​Only those reading this message here  will know of this contest.  Don't forget when it hits 1000 a big original goes to someone following. That simple.
I am thankful I get to share my gifts with you, it makes me feel good to know when someone gets an original or I've inspired someone to make their own cards to share love - I have helped add love & light - some sunshine to the universe this day.

​*Offer ends at the end of this month. Feb 2018.   You can see my spinner spin on my IG account (if you follow) my account is currently 'Private.   Why? It's just the mood I am in, I also do not automatically follow those who follow, it is not personal  ;) it get's too distracting & I can't keep up & I am using IG as my main source of Social media & way to communicate with some 'real friends'... but i do look at others pages who follow & thank you for your support btw.  Sometimes I contact strangers on IG and ask them if they want an original (like I did with Holly & you will see who's next - I've offered a free logo to a young woman who is setting a lovely example on IG.
Oh - & Georgia's ! Why not.. I'm networking with other Georgias all around the world. Hahaha- It's my current thing! Are you a fellow Georgia? E me! 

Have fun!! I've decided to paint more love..  currently painting a 'cow' I love.   lol
I saw it on my desk this a.m. and almost skipped this post- I'm so excited to get back to my Mushroom cow.  :D

Step by step photos and a few notes in the images below.  I posted it early so you will have LOTS of time to  make your card, lol (I woke Storm just to film the video.. he's a bit jet lag but got up to do it for US'  ;) I love my son)   possibly even a few- I can think of several friends who would love this card.. but I think I'll keep it to Spin on a rainy day.. just for fun - Because:

I Love Me.

Get Busy!!

I  tested and printed a version- it prints slightly smaller than the original but works fine!
I'm mailing a printed version to a friend for Valentines day - some assembly required*
​ hee hee hee  <3  

My son told me to give this painting away.
Every time he looks at it he tells me to give it away... so, I agreed.
When I started it I was going to gift it.. but it took on a bit of a new meaning and I've decided to give to to a stranger- make someone I don't know happy.  I hope.
​
I don't care who enters, a private person or business, it would look good hanging in a dispensary... I'll have a friend help when I choose the winner to keep it fair.
To ENTER:

Follow me on Instagram to possibly WIN this painting.
You must share the image on your Instagram page
Tag one friend   & tag me @georgia.toons so I can make sure you have entered correctly ;)
