Bible Study!

Bible Painting is a peaceful  process. Amen.

I treated myself to a new Bible a while back- and Illuminated bible - with Gold pages and beautiful art.. I’ve read the bible- this will be my third time & I’ll be drawing what ‘amuses  & intrigues’ me.  

My opinion of the bible has changed with my age & mentality… at this stage in my life I am reading and enjoying and pondering leisurely. Cathy @ Masters bookstore  in Haliburton  is very helpful and thoughtful, since I’m not going in to the store - I view online whats available, call Cathy & Norm picks it up!  Cathy chose a weekly day timer for me - I just said I like Bird, Plants & God - lol  she picked a lovely day timer that also has Bible quotes and what to read each day - in order to read it by the end of the year.  Im set!

I’m actually ahead of where I should be, as I read I quickly sketch - whatever it is that  catches my attention - and it’s different than I’d imagine you’d find in other bibles… like the hand with the red string on it -I found very interesting. ;)

Are you looking for the ultimate ‘self help ‘ book - this is it… Just ask MANY - Many great ‘spiritual’ leaders of our time mention the bible.  Reading it during a pandemic is .. interesting- I am seeing with new eyes & it’s very AWAKENING.  I understand how many scholars have worked on the bible through the centuries & how much thought has been given to the word of God.   I don’t believe YOU NEED to read the bible to become closer to God- BUT to be a better human to each other  - there’s no better guide book.
Take the 10 commandments for example- pretty straight forward rules to follow for a righteous life.  I still struggle from time to time about women in the bible - Jacob Petersons perspective  has proven very exciting & accurate, imo, especially pertaining to Adam & Eve…  I’ve very excited for his new book. 

What are you focusing on? The deadly pandemic? Job losses, financial struggles, health issues? I can tell you I have struggled with them all!  It was NOT until I really decided to focus on God, out of struggle & exhaustion - I surrendered - many times.  Each time realizing - I should have handed it over to God sooner.  Above all else I have learned - God brings everyone into my life for a reason & visa versa - EVERYONE… & every lesson eventually, ends of being one that makes me wiser, richer & happier. 

Sometimes I wonder - REALLY Lord?  This person??  This person causing me grief?? 
Why are they in my life?  Not always clear at first… then I understand it is  for ME to fucking humble myself - get past my own EGO & issues & to: Pray for them.  

It’s really that simple.  Praying for someone is powerful - it’s asking GOD to help others not yourself - the actual miracle starts with the love that inspires a miracle.  
Me praying for some when they have hurt me or others - is a miracle in itself.

I can’t force anyone - but I hope to inspire many- read your bible!  Not only is it interesting & entertaining, IT has BEEN the most popular, best selling MOST read self help book on the planet for a reason. I’m excited to spend the day painting - it will be my most prized possession when finished.

God Bless!

This is a green monkey painted a few weeks ago.. all 'new creations' will be saved for the new year.  A new slate to create.  Should be an interesting year... I'll leave my predictions with my 2021 painting, next.

Time to grow by reading, thinking and painting.
Already  my painting appears more peaceful & detailed.

Listening to the CBC podcast ‘Ideas’.  Look at that device in your hand #1
 it was fascinating  with perfect timing reassuring my decision to 'turn off'.   

The snow is beautiful, heavy on the pine branches. 
Yesterday, I held a baby woodpecker  for a few moments on my finger.  It was a sign.
​I’m paying less attention to a screen and more to Gods Glory.

I asked, I believed.. I received.   Again.  Thank you.

A sore body & headache for days forced needed rest.  
I have a green forehead now and scabs on it as well as my chin - I clearly was close to bleeding when I fell so, I’m thankful I do not have to venture out for any reason…  ‘pretty’ is not how I would currently describe myself.

No decorations. No tree..  perhaps if in a ‘Christmas mood’ but I am not. Many are not & we don’t have small children so no need to ‘fake the festivities’.   No gifts- we have all we need.   Thinking about small business, they are absolutely going to suffer this Christmas as the over all mood is the same… who wants to shop?
I completely disagree with small stores being close while WALMART and big stores remain open. IF they are to be open for ‘groceries & drugs’  ONLY  - then block the rest off. 
It really does appear during  this pandemic: 
     
What’s good for the Goose - is clearly not  always good for the gander.

If we need anything  we try first to get it locally, even IF it means paying more.
Will you support Jeff Bezos or the guy you know who lives in Minden, Halliburton, Carnarvon?  Canada.


Ponder  & pray & ask for assistance. Then you must be patient. 
Those who have faith can wait patiently & without anxiety…             
 knowing God will provide.  

Powerful stuff.  
Amen

Mental Health Monday

I'd like to start this mental health week on a positive note with a positive suggestion:
Go into this winter (lockdown) with the mind of a caterpillar & in the spring prepare to emerg & transfigure into 2021  stronger, healthier & wiser. Why not!?
How can anyone not be wiser after all this.  I'd like to share a couple suggestions of what I KNOW works for me - it can't hurt.. yes, I've had experience with depression before a pandemic - 202o was one of our happiest years. So here goes, a few pointers to prevent depression spiraling out of control.

-Have Faith.  I can't express it enough... To have faith is everything - to have Faith is to have faith in me.  Have Faith we will continue through this.

-If you are struggling with thoughts of giving up, be brave and ask to speak to someone.
I had/have 2 Dr.s  who speak & listen... explain.  God  sent my Dr.s, I know it now.  
"I promise you Georgia, it will get better... soon you will meet someone & have your own family.."   said my Dr. sitting in his office (after hours) as he stitched me up for  'cutting', a little too deep 'that time' & I was too embarrassed to go to the hospital.  I cut my arms , thighs, abdomen with a razore blade for years... my mother never seemed to notice,  I found out later, she informed others I did it because "I was fucked up"... I sure was.  I cut because I did NOT know how to deal with the depression, I cut to hurt myself because I felt I was not wanted. I cut because I was the only one I could control.  I cut becuase it felt better to hurt myself than others. I am reminded by scars physical & mental.  
Find someone to talk to - if you can't find someone - there's ALWAYS Jesus.  

-Do not drink alcohol. So much abuse could be avoided without alcohol.  All you have to do is 'pass on the alcohol.  Because, I was raised in a 'alcohol home there are times during this pandemic - I've condiered getting drunk to forget it all, if only for a few hours. Yikes.  Not a good time to get drunk and wallow - it's easy to be swallowed by depression with all currently happening. Don't do it.. it only dulls the feelings, nothing goes away.
​After excessive alcohol, problems are usually worse as well as feeling hung over.  
I treat myself to LUCs brew in a wine glass- LOVE the blueberry Basil,  not only is it tasty, refreshing- it's good for me. Alcohol Free.   It's your choice.

Read. Craft.. learn to speak a new language...  I learned to speak Goat - just as Nugget.
Why not- NOW is the time to dream & transform - ready to spread our wings & FLY when...  we can.

With THC & TLC

Hairless kitty..

23/11/2020

Hairless kitties fuck with your mind.  As I painted this kitty - I kept (naturally) wanting to brush fur or 'a' whisker even.. I had to focus and remember this is a genetic hairless kitty and was not easy to paint.  The wrinkles adorable tho.  I guess this is what cats look like without fur.

Mental Health Monday - Many will be feeling EVEN more stressed today with the current information: The Military will be deployed to vaccinate us all. 
The military will be administering the vaccine...   sounds a little 'Handmaidenish' don't you think?  Ironically, I did have a friend tell me this months ago.. I brushed it off with little thought, not now.  Is anyone else slightly concerned? Will it  be mandatory - that would cause a bit of chaos imo - no.. it won't be mandatory but good luck traveling, shopping or if you have to go to the hospital - you'll get it or you won't be able to play'.  

Here we go... I don't even know what to think today.. editorials are spilling out my ears.

About the 'vaccine'... about side effects.  Are we playing with covid cures?  Swatting at things in the air- it appears so.. a government who can't seems to get on the same page with rules and regulations are leading me to believe  they have in fact- known this was the direction INDEED that this was all GOING to go.
  Not being an essential worker, I  have the luxury of time & reading & I'll tell you there is very conflicting, interesting information circluating right now... worlddoctorsalliance.com some very intelligent people are speaking up about the current situation and motive behind it-  have a read.. THINK for yourself- what do you think? 

I've had several reactions over my life time with medication - once almost killed me - luckily I was in the hospital when it happened., my friend Kat happened to be visiting me and noticed I started slurring & my tongue  (should be spelled TUNG)  started to swell and I started to pass out - the nurses came running  with a shot' to counter act  the previous medication and here I sit. 

Another occasion the medication I was given made me feel like ripping my skin off,  itchy - from the inside out - I was off it in 2 days.  I often vomit when taking  pills -they don't sit well in my stomach & opitaes really mess me up leaving me  feel lathargic, uncoordinated, sick and constipated - nope, LET FOOD BE they medicine & even that is natural, my medicine.  NO - I don't want to be first in line for this vaccine. 
​Side effects.. can linger and not show for years.
Will the cure - be the cure or  a future curse?  
Try not to stress about this.. read & become more educated and better prepared.
​
 Hairless kittys are not for me but it was pleasurable to paint!

​With TLC & THC

...Not one fuck.

Some days - you just need to sit back and give.. not one fuck.
Not about anything or anyone.. chances are, the world & those we care about will still be there when you return from a small break

Justin Trudeau gave us his new opinion and it sucks... I remember not celebrating Thanksgiving - in hopes we might celebrate Christmas.  The 'holiday' now comes with an entirly new level of not needed stress - for too many.
Others lives are more importnt to me than a holiday so...  I'll go with the flow.

I'm sure you are aware of disbelievers.. well, there are days I tell you I don't know what to fucking think about any of this- the vaccine is disturbing, in the past- they took MUCH longer to test before giving it frankly.  I'm in no hurry to get it.   If you research and watch - there are many VERY educated people questioning all of this and the lock downs.  Yes, it is confusing - the government can't seem to get their shit together and get on the same page - no wonder poeple are becoming impatient and tired - covid exhasuted.

RIGHT NOW - I will wear a mask- NOT because the goverment insists, because I care about you - strangers.. I don't want to make you sick.  I I don't know enough to take a chance.  Do you?  It's that simple.  I do believe masks work to some degree.  Just say - this is all a giant hoax (I don't feel it is)  but just say it is... either way- I would rather be known as a "sheep" (far from)  for wearing a mask than someone who refuses to wear a mask and takes a 'CHANCE' in making others sick.  I'm not concerned about dying - fyi  - I  just don't want to get sick'... do you?   

I already live with chronic pain from Arthritis & the the fucking constant TN that wakes me up most days before the rooster and fucks with me ALL DAY LONG.
Right now - nope, I cant do it.. not one fuck will be given about covid, masks, Trump or vaccines.

I am trying to shop LOCAL - my neighbours need the help - everyone should be doing the same, suport your local community so they are still there after this pandemic.  
I decided to buy  ALL Canadian  made this Christmas and homemade'  & I'll be painting & not giving one fuck... until, maybe Monday.

The beat goes on...

The beat goes on...  as does life - even during a pandemic.It’s been a busy few days.. Norm put up the display at Canoe FM & it’s well received!  We are very happy Bumble & friends are making others SMILE this holiday season.  It’s nice to ‘hear each announcer  express their ‘Glee’.

While he set up the display - my cocks got into a fight!  IT was brutal… not something I ever want to witness again- they fought right out of the pen!  I knew those chickens could get out if they wanted.. they’ve not wanted to, obviously.  When Norm arrived home- Foghorn went running to him- it was sweet- but Gloria was chased by Daisy into the forest   She did come back once BUT Daisy saw her before us & the chase was on again. We have tried for 2 days to get him back.  I can hear him in the morning calling.. I know he made it back once…  I’m hopeful.  Chasing chicken in the woods, cause we have noting else to do -  ha… lol 

I’ve painted my newest set of birdhouses- these ARE bird houses!  I am tempted to keep them all…  it’s quite fun creating these custom bird houses= I think I’ve already got an idea for he next set. I’ve decided to only make 8 of each - one goes to me -so if you want one in particular you better get it before it’s gone, I won’t be re creating the same pattern twice. I'll show you them next!

Animal on the psilocybin drums.. the beat goes on!  Do something that makes you feel good!  Lord knows the news is OVERWHELMING -   keep yourself creative so you don’t get feeling like it’s too much… if there’s another lockdown - do you have something to keep yu busy are you prepared?

Winter is here! What outdoor activities can you do this year?  I might train my goat to pull a toboggan - hee hee hee.  Goats like to work actually, they love to be social.  For now - I’ll walk in the woods - still  searching for Gloria the nasty girl who likes to fight! When we get him back he will go into the chicken jail until he behaves.  Maybe after his adventure he will behave nicer to his fellow feathered family.

The beat goes on…  grab your sticks!

Christmas 2020

He's back...

Picture
Christmas  202o...  the Grinch is back.

According to the news Canada has record numbers and about 2 weeks before hospitals are  scrambling & overwhelmed... just in time for Christmas. Ho ho ho.
​
The rest of the world doesn't appear much better off.
I'm not feeling 'Christmasy' this year, as I'm sure many are not - I'm excited to see how we will  be creative in new ways this holiday! I do believe the world is becomeing a little more thoughtful' , AWAKE & that is hopeful.  A good thing to focus on.

No Christmas tree. Not with the puppy, a few favorite decorations like the stable Norm made many moons ago...  I have 'skipped' Christmas before, it was less stressful & less work! More quality time relaxing & watching wood burn, snow falling... dog snuggling.  
We plan on a special meal, exchange a gift  -HOMEMADE  (by the grace of God) but that's all.  In the past I've alwasy encouraged ***NOT Going into debt at Christmas***
& this year is NOT the exception.  
Please don't.  Be honest with your children & they will become wise beings. 
Adding debt - adds stress & that takes away from the quality of life...  
2020 has been stressful enough.

Do support local business, perhaps smaller stores as they are hurting the most from what I've been reading.. these small communities 'rely on each other'  we are shopping local, local takeout,  local farm' supplies...   Amazon- is not hurting.  
Preferably handcrafted, I also hope to purchase a couple of Music CD's from some Canadian artists.   Please support your community & country.

Tom's got bird houses! $15 - $40 all money goes to local charity!
 & you are helping birds.
Either way...    the Grinch is back  Christmas 2020

Yukon Cornelius struck GOLD! Gadzooks!!
Gadzooks!!!  Yukon Cornelius struck Gold! Canadian GREEN Gold that is. hahaha
MY mind is in Christmas! & enjoying it!!

I was sent several messages -  from Americans telling me they liked my cartoon yesterday!
Americans like my Trump editorial - I'm doing soemthing right. LOL I bet several did NOT like it. WE are not here to be liked but to serve (as best as we know how).   Wonderful. 
It's mental health Monday - so as an artist on social media - I've learned it's nice when others like my cartoons but just as many can discourage and actualy take the time to dislike. I must alwasy rememeber 'who I am pleasing.  
The universe.. I hope to make smile.
Me... using my gift makes me happy, keeps me in a joyful state of mind.
God... by the grace of God - here I enjoy painting & exploring the woods.
 
Norm's out setting up the display, in the front yard for the bears to enjoy. lol
Actually... Bumble & friends are getting a tune up because they are off (the property) to spread JOY for the Christmas season - where LOTS will see them! YAY!
I know how many children smile at this display - it grows my heart - just like the Grinch!  
Thinking  happy stuff KEEPS me in a happy mood.

Yukon Cornelius is part of the pack and he made me think of this.. hee hee
He 'licks his pick' when he strikes gold - in case you did not know.
He made me laugh out loud when finished - I bet a few Rudolph fans will giggle.
I listened to  Joe Rogan & Jason Peterson interview and Jason Peterson said (more or less) life should be difficult- thinkng it should be all fun and games  - how does anyone truly learn or feel ACCOMPLISHMENT or challenge themselves to be better - every day.
WE don't when we think life should be handed to us or sit around trying to figure out get rich quick games.
Work.  

Chop wood  & carry water.
Norm chops the wood & the Goats are learning how to carry packs.
hahah I crack myself up. 
More on Bumble tomorrow! & Bumble art.

Psilocybin News

After posting the Poppy moose- I learned ‘Whole Foods (an American company) in Canada  (14 stores) told employees they could not wear a poppy.  It did not go over well and the company has since changed it’s policy. I guess so.  Still, it was bad for business at an already difficult time- many will not return- will they go under like Target?  I think so…  or struggle like Tim’s (now that they are no longer Canadian)  Canadians WANT Canadian fucking businesses  politicians.  JUST like every country wants to thrive and support itself.  
This is Canada after all EH.   Educate yourself - Shop Canadian. Can you imagine the uproar if the shoe would have been on the other foot?  

Still no president.. the madness continues. I’m working on TRUMPs losing editorial today.  Positive thinking. 

The positive news out of the USA with the recent election is LEGALIZATION of cannabis, finally.  NOW- how about they SET FREE all those in jail for minor cannabis offences?  Several states have now legalized, no more just for medical use in the USA.  I don’t think legalization in the USA will effect Canada in anyway.  Bud in Canada has has a couple of legal years to be perfected & is no doubts some of the best grown bud on the planet… no need to shop else where.  Hopefully they will let people GROW in the use for personal use also.

Psilocybin mushrooms have also made an appearance! YAY!  Legalized as well in a few states- Thank God.  With legalization - (I’d prefer decriminalization)  will come EDUCATION and with DEPRESSION at an ultimate high - the timing couldn’t be better.  Of course with legalization they will become expensive.   I know many people who have been capable of growing their own in mason jars. STILL - they will become available & this will HELP more people deal with depression at a depressing time.  Canada will  follow soon I believe. GOOD - Thank GOD, really.

Speaking from EXPERIENCE for being on antidepressants a good period of my life, NOW using cannabis & psilocybin only -  a tiny crumb of mushroom - daily in my tea or chocolate bar (I make)  & I’m feeling better,  more in control of my mind & life  than I’ve ever been.  Mushrooms have taught me much already and I am GRATEFUL for them and to my son again - for insisting I try them.  Storm is well aware of my depression & understands why.  Mushrooms have made me aware - awake - grateful for the education.

Pinocchio is realizing he is a boy of wood - caught in the battle of reality and  fake, like life. 
Mushrooms make me think and understand - some things I understand require forgiveness- which is harder to ponder some days.. still forgive, I do.  As soon as you forgive  (not forget - forgetting sets you up for repeating imo) you can carry on and focus on issues that matter NOW.

Forgive and you feel a release- happiness - YOU are freeing yourself when you forgive others.
Personally, I like freeing my mind for more art to swirl around… like snowflakes! lol
I’ve got Christmas on the brain! Next - Christmas Cornelius - like it or not. hahaha.  


Lets celebrate & send the USA some positive energy- they NEED it. 
Hopefully next, I’ll be posting my TRUMP LOST editorial.
