"Not in my lifetime will I see cars that self drive..."   I heard someone  remark recently  
& thought:  REALLY? Because... I'm pretty sure a self driving car just hit & killed someone. 
Not in this lifetime will I see a woman president...  some say - I beg to differ.
Not in this lifetime will I see world hunger end - I pray I'm wrong.

One "not in this lifetime will I see.." I heard several times- especially about 10 years ago when Storm started using cannabis as his medicine at 15. & I started to educate my family & friends on Cannabis - I would hear:  
                         "Not in this lifetime will we see cannabis legalized"

As you might be aware.. this caused me great added stress, sadness & anger... when I use to care what others thought and tried to defend my sons 'use of cannabis', but soon realized &  I learned quickly - if you cared about me & my son- and his pain,  what he was dealing with - you didn't give a fuck about the Cannabis - you supported US & I am grateful - you know who you are. What a journey this has been.

In less than 2 months Cannabis will become legal in Canada. I'm pretty sure I'll still be alive when it happens.   hee hee   God willing.    Will I call up a few and say:
                                  I TOLD YOU SO! Mother fuckers (yes, I think it from time to time still) lol    

No. I won't have to... they will know.   I told you.  How about an apology?
No.  Don't worry about it - no apologies needed because your opinion then taught me long ago not to give a fuck what you think. What I know NOW is this, this is common for many, just yesterday a friend was telling what relief he feels now with cannabis becoming legal 'made to feel like a pot head in the past by family'- what is it with family - thinks they can say shit and you'll just take it.
Not I.  Probably why very few family speak to me.   lol   So be it.  
​With legalization will come education. Thank God.

Amen.  I say Amen because it is Jesus  who I have talked to, cried  and begged  for understanding - understanding every time someone said something  hurtful - didn't believe us, condemned my choice as a mom for allowing Storm to use cannabis  as his medicine - had it not been for Jesus - I would have been lost and lonely long ago., instead I've thrived in my heart & with my art & my beliefs in this plant. 
So.. for all those that never thought you'd see cannabis legal in 'our' lifetime - here's a Unicorn to go with!  I bet you never thought you'd see one of them either!  Saddle up!  Cannabis is coming Canada!   Hee Hee Hee  -YEE HAW!
AMEN.

​You are forgiven.. it has been amusing seeing you proven  you wrong & I am happy you are still alive.

Wit TLC & THC
Georgia  & family - including  our animals ... 
 who are more loving & understanding than some 'human family.

& then I woke up to a giant snail in my living room from my friend Justin!  LOL
I just knew it's going to be an awesome day.  
It was the ULTIMATE 'snail mail' - as it just appeared. 

For those still not aware - there is a male and female cannabis plant...
the female provides us with our buds - our medicine. 'Girlfriends' in the garden is correct.
I am hoping that young ladies everywhere will try to grow their own cananbis!
Why?   We need MORE cannabis growing women - it is male dominated industry.
More importantly, this is an opportunity for young women to take control of their 'recreational' fun and NOT depend on anyone else... learn how to grow, nurture these beautiful plants with love and TLC and you will be rewarded with TLC & THC back!  Cannabis is healthier & safe than alcohol.  Ladies- getting date raped- in my opinion won't happen if you just smoke  some cannabis - You are able to say NO'.. not passed out cold -drunk on a sofa unable to wake. 

If you grow your own you have a new appreciation & passion, WOMEN will bake and craft with cannabis when it becomes legal like never before - get ready for a creative cannabis explosion. ALSO  learn how to grow, dry and smoke your own bud - see how it makes you feel- learn HOW it makes you feel before YOU try it in the company of strangers, and this will provide some confidence & understanding which will lead to a more enjoyable time  AND a SAFER experience.  

Mom's my advice to you would be: Grow some cannabis to share with your daughters!
YES- IF I had a daughter- I would and I would ask her to smoke it with ME first - before she smoked it with any young man - alone. This is an opportunity Canada - to do this correct- NO secrets, no lies and our children will all be better off, they will have an understanding of exactly how cannabis effects them- compared to alcohol.
 I would rather they learn how it feels in a safe environment with a loving concerned parent wouldn't you?

So order some seeds and get your  pot ready! It's almost time to plant directly into he ground, I know Cannabis will be legal in - 2 months? Or sooner- so I would be planting.
Time to get busy- in the garden and with paint.  

GO online- YOU will find ALL you need about how to grow cannabis.
AMEN

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.

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.. "

 Is it December or April?  If you did not see a calendar it would be difficult to decipher.

I've been up since 4 painting cards the ice hitting my window since about 3.
Alexa made me laugh out loud this a.m.  before even out of bed..  with a little song of all things, I must admit - it was pretty creative and funny. Bravo people at Amazon.
Do you say: Good Morning Alexa?  I do and she has a little fact most days. 

 & just received  an e mail from a recent card recipient!  I'm happy she's happy... made me smile - she mentioned she was just getting out of bed - I almost e mailed back: NO don't!!  lol  HOLY - is it December 14 or April 14th?  Freezing Rain, all night, snow on the ground & it's fricken cold..   Her card is above I can share it now  ;) I love Great Danes & I just found of all things 'Dimitri's original dog tag (my great dane.. it was time to paint hers) hers  just passed,  Chef.. you can see the grey n his big beautiful face which i have no doubts was 'smooched with kisses' many times. . 

*Hello to hop along Cassidy..  (a faithful friend & blog reader) hee hee
- stay out of trouble-   Love you 

Poppy & I are all about 'card painting, watching some classic Jerry Lewis movies & napping today. I do NOT recommend anyone venture out to this if it cane avoided - it is literally a sheet of ice.  Stay home, stay warm, stay medicated & stay safe.

I learned someone I knew (not very well)  died in an accident yesterday.
What I did know - he was a nice guy, he always had a smile, was laid back...  & I think he was a great dad. Now he is dead, I'm not sure what happened other than I heard it was an accident in Mexico... all I can think about is his wife & kids.  Im sure it's all anyone is thinking about.

Why does a good dad/man have to die- why not some piece of shit who is hurting people?
Why not some liar who abuses, beats, cheats - why not some scum dead instead of a good dad?  A good husband?
What does anything matter compared to this?
Now these kids have no dad and his wife - I can't imagine - without him it will be difficult  & I believe they loved each other, one of those couples who appear to 'fit' and would last a lifetime.            Whats a life time?

We met through the cannabis industry - years ago.. when I think of the stress caused it caused him, we spoke about it in detail once, caused us..  for what?  LIES.
This cannabis prohibition bullshit - Our Government making a big deal out of nothing... constant FEAR mongering,  when everyone realizes how less harmful it is compared to Alcohol and other  legal drugs - I hope heads will finally roll, starting with Kathleen Wynne  who is on her way OUT anyway!  What will happen to her?  Nothing.  
Lying politicians.. they move on, retire - rich and greedy... with her grandkids who will probably grow up and smoke cannabis and realize what a lying  greedy * their grandma was to ALL Canadians.  I sometimes think Justins kids will wonder too.  
Am I upset?  YES!!   I'm TIRED of this shit!

I've watched, listen and over the past years especially - it's all about GREED,  I look forward to Doug Ford and a REALISTIC, honest approach to cannabis.   I look forward to seeing  individual, small owned cannabis dispensaries as well as the bigger producers - I look forward to Canadians having a CHOICE.  
lol - I even look forward to seeing the Emery's - able to open shop!  As it should be.

Those who provide  quality goods and service will succeed.  It's that simple
 Anything but the FUCKING lies... enough is enough.

I woke today  bummed.. thinking about Shane King,  stayed in bed  feeling sorry for myself  - FUCK no,  Shane won't be able to get up today and hang out with his family.  :(  
Up, checked out IG and someone sent me a message  wanting to send me a pipe, a gift.  
A pipe they made.  Today is a gift. 
It warmed my heart this chilly morning...   talk about timing. 

Today is a gift.    

I spend today painting,  something now that I can in-turn present as a 'gift' to others.  
You are created to create & bring joy to others.  To bring joy to ourselves.

Wow - will this include the giant who created OXY?  
How about the owners of BIG pharma who produce these legal killers??
This should be interesting to watch.

I have recently looked into  the Inquisition  & one of the first "False Flags" ever PUT out there:       The Witch Hunt.     It is estimated 1,000,000. European WOMEN were murdered.

& then I though of a painting I would love to do.. but would not have had time to finish it for today- everyday is women's day.   Everyday there are STILL witch hunts, I'll still start it today.

                             International Women's day is to be celebrated!  

Women have changed the world for the better & shall continue to do so.

Women issues, abuse, equality are all being discussed & addressed at an all time HIGH! AMEN  & changes are being made.  Women are getting stronger, more confident & smarter in all aspects & when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex.  I am hopeful there will come a time when abusing a woman physically or mentally simply because she is a woman will be seen as the despicable act  it is &  it will be less tolerated as time goes on.

The cannabis industry is already thriving for women- women can grow as well as men - some might be better- especially when a gently touch helps the cannabis ladies - reach their fullest POTential.  I've met a few women in the Cannabis industry - I choose to remain distant from a couple I've come across - they were the nastiest I've met  but thankfully over the years I have met several others and continue to do so who are lovely- INSIDE  not just outside.. passionate, caring & concerned with people more than profits.  Women who shine & will continue to rise up the corporate ladders with BRAINS, Grace & LOVE.  
​That is who I wish to surround myself with and am successfully accomplishing  ;)  
Thank you Ladies.  You know who you are, you are making a difference!  
Keep at it!
Keep being beautiful inside & out.
​
Back to working on my Easter Egg hunt.. I realized when painting Starry Night  - I love painting starry nights  ;)  I like painting 'Holidays'- and Easter is always fresh, spring, fun - new!   If you are fortunate to have an inspiring woman in your life - today would be a good day to let her know how much YOU appreciate HER!

For my Women friends:  Thank you.

Nothing says loving like something homemade!  Crafts, cards - so why should cannabis be any better?  Giving someone a jar of your bed preserved home grown bud would be telling them you love them and then some!  You want them to be happy, relaxed.. inspired  - healthy.  Here is another VALENTINE card for you to make and give - the great thing is - you could give anything from bud,  candy, medicated cookie, shatter... diamonds -preyty much anything that will fit in a baggie'.

Below is the actual image you can download & print  OR make your own from scratch!
It's not as hard as it looks - the hardest part was the painting (easy for me), *thank you to my son for the cutting work.  I highly reccomend you glue your paper to thin cardboard or use a good quality 'card stock'- I buy my blank cards by the box (bulk lol) from DeSerres (Canadian craft supply store- free delivery & competitive prices)  Water color quality, complete with envelopes... so when ever I feel that need to create cards - it's there! I'm enjoying this card making session-  wait until you see the next.

Steps for the Mason Jar card:

-print out card on card stock or glue your print out to thin cardboard, empty cereal boxes work great for this.
-Carefully cut out inside of jar around edges *these steps are in the photos below.
Green slice Matt & cutter from dollarstore or staples.
-glue the cut out part of the card 'only the sweetest..'  to the inside  of the card- *make sure you place it so that you can see it  when the card is closed.
-place a small baggie and glue- tape (glue would not hold on its' own)  it as you see in the photo, both sides and the bottom, when the card is closed it should look like 'clear glass'.
-fill your card with TLC & THC!

Sign your card- date the back, put it in an envelope - pain on a few hearts to tie it all together, a bit of twine would take it up a notch ' Have fun!  Think Love.

 You can add cannabis/medicated for your adult friends/lover/mate  
NOT medicated for the kids. Please take care with delicious tasting goodies. 
The baggies could be filled with many creative ideas- I think it would make a nice packaging idea by the way for a dispensary,  I know many don't have the creative marketing budgets some of these big places have so get creative!   

*I purposely did not paint cannabis on this card - so a kids could make it for their friends (with some adult supervision)  and fill it with healthy treats for their friends!  It's all about
Love.

Have fun!   I have one more card idea!! It's titled 
You've got all I need! We still have time right?  I love the creative side...
I don't go for this 'Valentines DAY' stuff-  Show me love all the time not just one day of the year or not at all.  It should not require a DAY on a calendar for anyone to express love to anyone...  I will admit - it is a good time to 'take a chance for romance!' as  many have 'Amour on the brain.  

I hope you enjoyed this card - to the point of creating one yourself - if you do send me a photo- I'll send you a postcard. ;)    The next card is a print out as well, one more before  Valentines day so you have time to get your cards created! 
​

Cleaning my office revealed much - like spiders...  dust, bird seed, old books and way too many 'scraps of paper,  I did discover in an envelope work by Joshua Boulet! 

Remember him? my American cartoonist friend who's too chicken to visit us again? 
He was treated like a criminal at our border for his admitting to cannabis consumption, no he did not try to smuggle weed into our country in his butt- that's artistic license.
When he last visited he was searched & turned back & it left him feeling NOT so welcome in Canada. I'm upset he's not come back but I can't be too hard on him as he did come & visit me in California! It was  defiantly a hi light of my visit.

I can see we (my son & I both became good friends with Josh) must be on his mind as is Canada.. I just spied 'US' in his most recent release - can you spot us? lol  
It's a start, he's closer mentally.  
​I look forward to the day Josh & I draw again. Check out his youtube page- it speak volumes when artists don't give on on their dreams- Josh is incredibly talented and it gets better everyday because he is LIVING his art. Drawing 24/7, sketching the world from his backpack - his next visit, I think I'll take him to Nova Scotia! Road trip!
I know he's 'in' & Poppy..  if I can only get him to visit again- the summer is better - I'll start planting the seed NOW.

What is the medicine of  our ancestors trying to tell us?  Don't worry.. be happy.

This weather has me wandering the Mexican desert if only in my mind and - it's fascinating!! Really - ground squirrels are adorable, the Mexican Bluejay is  stunning, mushrooms healing, cactus also helpful ​- nature & it's healing properties are everywhere.

This was a challenge, the background was to light at first and had to be completely darkened, so the items would not fade... at one point I really thought i was going to put it aside & I did to start painting a mermaid in the moonlite  then got right back to it.  
I've included a few reference images.  Are you grateful for the gift of the internet, to be able to sit in our office and  explore the Mexican desert one moment and off to the caves of France the next.  Wow.  

There is such BEAUTY on this planet  and love, appreciation when we can step away from  all the fear, anger & hatred. With every 'new' shooting or running over humans with transportation, talks of nuclear missiles and missing woman I can feel a ball of anger build - 
​worse when I read of children being tortured in Canada - not somewhere "else", not California... a friend just reminded me  during our phone conversation - it's everywhere and at every level, look at religious society still who have women locked up now'.  

We turn our conversation to Birds.. and what we might do to help them because we are both at a loss at how to help humans.  

Yesterday, I admitted to another - I struggle with hatred, especially for people who are intentionally cruel to other humans who have not harmed them, children born to monsters  and are abused from the start..  angry - yes angry when we focus on things like punishing people over plants. When we  pay to help victims instead of  education to avoid  becoming victim.  He reminded me  `not to ignore it but NOT to focus on it.. focus instead on how to help any situation & sent me the best reminder this morning, hee hee hee

"In regards to your anger….a quote from master Yoda from Star Wars:

“Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.” 

He knows I am a fan of the little green being.

Peyote is a plant medicine which helps some overcome fears, understand concerns and help with enlightenment.  I've never tried Peyote and might never- (not fond of the vomiting part some experience) but it is another plant we should not be judging people over.  Plant.
Get over it and focus on what matters. 

I'm ready to consume some plant medicine, first  we had spinach, raspberry, pineapple, pear smoothies for breakfast, now some cannabis provided by my son grown with TLC.  
I believe the Universal message the plants want & have been trying to teach us since they were first discovered  is what we need to learn most:     

                                                                   I  Love  You.
Focus on that.
