Weeeeeeee! Weeeeeed! Here it the second official Weeeeeeeed card.
This card was inspired by a young man  on Instagram tearing up the slopes in B.C - it looks  slippery, cold yet fun (sometimes they have no shirts on - so it can't be that cold).
Just watching I can hear them in my mind yelling "Weeeeeeeee...... "  & I know this young man indulges in cannabis - as do many more Canadians now that it's LEGAL - Weeeeeeeeeeee....d!  

The new website is up and running & I've been blessed with by editor  (whew) which has me feeling forever grateful as it reminded once again I am surrounded by some wonderful   people who do want to help others.  I'm blessed to amuse, relax & fill my own heart with glee everyday as  I paint,  creating & sending hand painted cards & accomplishing  a smile  from another human is quite the task....  it is a bonus, 1/2 the pleasure is imagining the recipients reaction - this created joy in me- even if they don't like it! lol
Do good - just because YOU can.  
As long as this Universe continues to provided me with  the time & stamps - I'll continue on this joyful path.  TRY it..  send someone a card -just to let them know SOMEone is thinking of them - today!  It will do wonders for your own mind & body, have trust.

It's the coolest job & at a time when we can all create our own destination in the ever expanding world wide web. TRY.  It has me convinced every day I am exactly where I am meant to be at this moment.  Forever grateful to all the universe has combined to make it so. & that is how I decided on the name...
I was making a card to thank someone for making this planet a better place (imo) & on the back I decided to sign 'Forever Grateful'.... & thought .. yes, I am.

I am Forever Grateful, truly... for every single human who tries.  Tries to make this place we call HOME  better - in any way, wether it's helping another physically or menatlly ,  displaying your creativity blesses us all  in countless ways  - Chefs who feed us, Growers who GROW for us, Photographers who show us the world as we might never get to see it - artists who create work to inspire others to do the same, anyone & everyone contributes in their own way & I am forever grateful for them & their service.
We would be ALL in trouble if  we all stopped serving. 

Have a look if you like, there are several cards up already - the website is currently & will alwasy be underconstruction & I continue to grow :

              Forever Grateful Greetings  -  also on Instagram: Forever Grateful Greetings

Weeeeeee...d! Im so excited to continue this new journey - Thank you for joining me!

        It's Easter Monday & EARTH DAY  - double the reason for celebration!

Earth day is the perfect day to tell you about my new card line! Why Earth day - because of this image  below I had a revelation!  It's more important to ME  than fame or fortune to NOT have something like this happen - because of me, because of my creation'.  

As a cartoonist & long time Garfield , Snoopy & Scooby Do fan - this must cause nightmares for the cartoonists. Over consumption, mass production & most of it - over time ends up  in a landfill or on a beach in France like the garfield phones.  Jim Davis did not throw the trash  there but he created the mass produced kitty monster and it got carried away- literally by waves. Sure he is a multi millionaire (presumably) at what cost to the Earth?  Apparently Bill Watterson too came to this conclusion long ago & did not allow for mass production of Calvin & Hobbs products to ever be made- no license sold. Imagine the amount of $$$ he turned down. 

I am reminded God has provided all I need & more! I feel especially good about this Easter Monday, Earth day &  I don't need or even desire fame or fortune..  I'm blessed with some outstanding humans in my life (no money needed)  & have enough to  keep me content - but I am constantly asked: Why don't you offer prints?  Where can I buy your cards?  
Most people can't or don't want to pay for an Original painting & I understand that but  I'm not about to contribute to landfills with mass produced product - I can't.  Instead I hope I've come up with s solution...  I am selling ORIGINAL cards - EVERY Single card is hand painted ONE of a kind - for an affordable  price  & I'm even offering custom cards - also  very affordable! 

Why send someone a card that thousands have? NOW - You can spend a bit more & send someone an original! Over the years I've tossed countless cards- haven't we all?  Yet I've kept all tiny originals I've ever acquired from others over the years.  This week I will be introducing you to my new WWW - specifically for my little hand painted card company!
Weeeeeeee - I am so excited!!   Weeeeeed!    & that is how a line of cards was born:
​
                                Weeeeeee!    Turned into:  Weeeeeeeeed!!    

​& some cute funny cards have been created- I've got quite the inventory already...
Today I'll show you my first card to celebrate & it was sent to start of the card company on the right foot- or wheel! : Weeeeeeeeeed!    Everything is more fun  with Weeeeeeed! 
Come back tomorrow  to see MORE & be directed to the new www - It's anew day!
   Rise up & own every minute,  make a difference today - I know you can, I know I will.
​Weeeeeeeeeee - with THC & THC!!! Lots.

Happy 4/20! & Happy Easter! Woot Woot!
I have fond memoriers of the last Easter 4/20 spent with my little friend Jamie
(no longer with us), I'll cherish that Easter forever. 

Today is 4/20 and the FIRST official LEGAL 4/20 in Canada - my fear mongering friend says many will be busted today - I doubt it. Unless  people are behaving badly - then,
so be it. 

Nope, I'm done thinking negative about cananbis concerns, Canada is legal & I feel more good than bad has become of it!  Other than the Ontario gov. & Legal dispensaries opening withOUT access for the disabled patients purchasing their MEDICINE  - I'm thrilled about cannabis in Canada NOW.    Amen

I celebrate this Holy weekend thinking of my homeboy Jesus & smoking joints!
God's medicine & I can easly become grateful feeling to the point of tears because  - I AM.

I am forever grateful for cananbis easing our sons pain &  my own & many more. 
I am forevergrateful God, for this journey as it has taught me many lessons I know I would not have learned otherwise.  

I am forever gateful to Jesus for his constant companionship... when all else 'appears to disappear', when I am left feeling beyond blue due to situations beyond my control - he reminds me (& alwasys has):  You are never alone & I'm  at peace.
Who wouldn't want that?  
What ever helps you achieve this feeling in  life  - go for it.

This new found knowlegde' & ever growing faith have me more forgiving, compassionate  & TRYING to be more understanding in general, I think that's a good direction to be going.  

Happy Easter to all my peeps, thank you for continuing to  inspire in all the ways you do.

Easter is about Rising UP!  Shine as birght as you can...  
Easter & daily Jesus reminds me keep moving forward - while trying to help others along the way...  pretty simple stuff.

I am celebrating! Hoppy Easter!

This painting  was painted with silver paint on the door- you can't see it here -but it looks really authentic, I'm pleased with how it turned out. ;)

Disney knew how to create a bond with the viewer, an emotional attachment - something that makes us all a little vunerable like knowing Bambies mom is dead as he looks for her...  I still hold my breath at that scene & this scene in Dumbo brings me to tears - every time.  I cried painting it. Mad elephant...  I feel like that mad elephant sometimes, locked in a chage and only able to preform limited loving..  The elephant is me & the cage is life,  stuff that gets in the way like these iron bars & I cant seem to see past them  & all I want to do is  hug my baby, whom is no longer a baby but I'll alwasy be his mom & mad elephant if it arises- because it can't be helped - I try.  

Dumbos mom was anything but 'Mad' - lables other gave her, but I understand how she comes across this way... LOVE.   I understand I'm no elephant but I can tell you - I have a mamabear in me and alwasy will untl I no longer breathe, it's just there under the surface and it arrived the same day my son did & I'm grateful, grateful I experienced love & emotions that  bring out the beast in me because it is this 'beast in all of us' that also wants to make the world in general a safer  & better place for all cubs. 

I can't put into words how proud I am of my son - his work ethics, determination & thirst for continued knowledge - I'm not worried about him... anymore, he has proven many times he  is capable of looking after himself & he is surrounded by a group of great friends & co workers - I couldn't hope for anyhing better.  I've been fortunate to go to work with him on a few occassions & his professionalism  is impressive if I do say so- hee hee - this business has some a long way in a few years! I can't believe how quickly they go in and set up professional & productive grow rooms in record time - so others can start to produce their own quality cannabis/medicine - It is a BLESSING & Storm has wanted to help people grow their own medicine since he worked in a hydroponic store at the age of 15 & look at him now!  
I literally laugh - now at the path God has had us on - everything for a reason,  trust. 

A new club opened in Yorkville - 'Ameri' - is that short for American?   & again my friend informs me there is no wheelchair access - she is a woman - in a wheelchair but HEY, they say' - you can wait to be seen (or ignored) and then you can wheel yourself around to the 'back alley' & buy your  medicine (for her it is)... WHAT THE FUCK is this CONTINUED bullshit & WHY are we ALLOWING IT- use the back door? Screw that, I'll never visit that store & told her to wait until someone does it RIGHT- Is anyone paying attention??  

UNTIL ALL ARE INCLUDED - on this journey. Did you know there is still a stigma twoards the disabled & aged (& women) in this country - one they don't see advancing anytime soon -  that might not bother you at the moment - God forbid you get hurt & become disabled,  either way we ALL GET OLD - so, those of you who are young and healthy NOW,  > you <  might want try to change this mentality before you get old.    Either way, continue to speak up with your dollar & 'if'  you do visit this place - please tell them to put in a fucking ramp & show some COMPASSION..

No wonder they don't call them 'Compassion Clubs' any longer - there appears to be little displayed.

Walt Disney suffered from severe depression from time to time -  he admitted he was unable to even speak on the phone without crying at one point... image that!  Yet,  he knew he had to 'take breaks' & to step away from time to time to recharge & heal..  me too.  Walt Disney NEVER - EVER let anyone keep him from following his dreams - thank God.  Walt is a hero of mine in many ways,  I'm grateful we had someone like him create inspiring art, capable of bringing  out compassin in others - with the swinging of a baby elephant on it's mad mamas  trunk.  Genius.

Norm's mad at me' so for breakfast
he made a 'BLT' & none for me.
Fine by me...  not hungry.

<><

The other day I got caught up in a dream.
Then by fate, I guess it was great...  (before it's too late)
I had a realization:
 I'd be in the same situation
just at a different destination...
& this aint' no 'vacation'
...it's time for separation.

 This is a tribute to Chuck jones - an artist & animator - I absolutely loved Bugs bunny growing up!  Bugs is smart - very funny, playful and often violent - but only to those who deserved it..  only after you heard:  Of course you know, this means war.
Bugs was one of the first trans dressers too! In many cartoons he puts on  womens clothing and rocks it like no other - by far one of my favourites is the Hillbilly cartoon where they promenade left..      This Bugs Bunny is chilling - Bugs style reading up on BUDS.  
Bugs Bunny is soon to be Buds Bunny  - while he is in Canada anyhow!  
Are you reading on how to grow your own cannbis? You can! It's legal - 4 plants. 

Apparently more dispensaries are opening and more ILLEGAL dispenseraries will be shut down.. good luck with that, you know... I'm caught here, I want privately owned dispensaries - we all do clearly - but this bullshit with  legal ones being fined now- is just that & I wanted to SEE some of my friends who have been doing this a while already STILL be able to continue - like CALM, Amy Anonoymous has a club.. many others - why should they stop when clearly others are not..  do a quick google search for Medical Cannabis dispensaries Ontario -  I found one place today 'Bodystream'  (*I have no idea of who they are - so forgive me if it's someone I know but - come on...)  they have 26 locations!  wtf?  
I don't recall them winning the lottery - I could be wrong.  
I don't think it's fair or right - especialy for THOSE who have played by the rules.
Welcome to the wild west of cannabis in Canada.

Friends, there are so many options for buying cannabis - online, by mail, instore, local dealers have not disappeared...  or grow your own! AMEN, the time for siliness is over- the time for celebration is here.  A friend who is a legitimate patient and follows many on facebook shared her  observation with me - some who were patients - went 'recreational', then they found out they can't smoke it everywhere,  rules apply & then they became 'medical again- Phhhhbt.  

Fakers - Please, fuck off...   (& it's bad karma) medical patients are still dealing with serious issues - It's time for Dr.s to step up in my opinion, IF you don't think your patient legitimately NEEDS cannabis- tell them to get it recreationally.  IF they OBVIOULY do use cannabis for pain, illness & to elieviate suffering - PLEASE help them & help them who need  it -$$$ - Cannabis should be covered by HEALTH CANADA - if they cover my girlfriends OPIATES - they should cover her cannabis!!!  IT is that fucking simple.  

Time will tell - I've emailed many on this topic including Justin Trudeau, furthermore all these once "haters" like BILL Blair who NOW own stakes/stocks and make $$ from cannabis  LEARN who you are purchasing from.  All in ALL - the options are here-  USE your dollars to SPEAK volumes & in a few years- only the best in product & service will survive.   My son is my grower & I can't complain-  he is talented!  If I do say so.. but many realize that now ;).

                           & B is for Benign  the loveliest B word I heard yesterday.  
I asked God for a bit of direction on something else I was pondering & the phone call came 3 seconds later! Hee hee - I love it whent that happens!  "Benign"  & then I said:
                 LET's GO! Forward!  Forward it is... Let's GO!

There is no passion in playing small...  in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. 

- Nelson Mandela -

This little fishy was painted for a friend & it was super enjoyable to paint with the underwater discovery of a new mushroom jellyfish...  it's on it's way to it's new home!  Let there be light, it's light earlier and lasting later & buds on the branches appear - got me all excited for Spring!

I did have a mammogram & an ultrasound at Southlake hospital in Newmarket - It was a lovely (although uncomfortable) experience! I was treated by smiling, happy friendly & 'professional' ladies from the MOMENT I arrived,  go figure!  I was NERVOUS - something I've not been before for a simple test - that  was of course - before I was slapped (twice) and yelled at by a '30 years experienced' nasty technician from Keswick Advanced imaging.  Please do not take the chance  of being treated like I was... read the google reviews first. 
 This '30 year' bullshit the owner seems to justify  as an excuse for the technician to be automatically respected or EXCUSED for her terrible behaviour is exactly that-  perhaps she is tired after 30 years and only there to make her quota as it appears from my experience.  

I am forever grateful to the women at the hospital who have restored my faith  in  mammogram technicians after a really negative experience...  about the test - if I had to guess - I'd rather not.   I'm sure my Dr. will have the results soon -  I'm in Gods hands.
& while I wait...   I envision all the excitement of the adventure ahead & exciting it is  - I went on a road thrip this past week - what an adventure -  wait until I share!
​ 
 Forward - always.

I'm painting with 4/20 in mind this week! My cards are selling - THANK YOU!  
Be sure to follow on IG for my usually 420 give away!!
