I realized last night why I was as angry as I was.. I'm sick of the mindset.
I'm frustrated with the continued STILL negative mindset surrounding cannabis - if  you like it or not - IT is NOW legal in Canada - deal with it. 
It's the mindset of so many (still brainwashed) who are so quick to judge cannabis consumers & many STILL have no issues with raising a glass or two as they do.  It''s comments about 'too many drugs' in our community made by someone who sells alcohol -which is a serious problem in Georgina- just ask the police who publish impaired drivers photos. 

It's being immersed in this 'cannabis community' for over 10years & understanding the true harms of cannabis - other peoples ignorance is the biggest harm still. It's knowing how many children how have been helped - had their pain eased from suffering from terrible conditions - all with cananbis - yet - I'm still surrounded by ignorance on a daily basics - I get it.  I've also learned to say to people: please, when you have read this, this, this and this - let's have this conversation again - because I have spent the past 10 years plus learning about my son's & my medicine & I KNOW once people learn what I have - they would not be having the same conversation they are having today. They would know & understand. Most won't even attempt to read...
It's easier to remain ignorant- you're too busy, too tired, overworked to read a book on a topic your not really that interested in, it's easier to follow the pack- even if they too are uneducated - look at  Trump fans..  It's easier to turn on the T.V & zone out.

I went to bed yesterday, cried, grumbled & read to occupy my mind & was successful.
I'm currently reading:How to change your mind .  Perfect timing.
Instead of being angry I'll be grateful for the education & enlightenment.  The Botany of Desire was a fascinating book - at a time when I NEEDED to learn about cannabis- it was perfect! It was such an enjoyable book - I've read it twice!  This book is already blowing my mind & I am grateful  for the education - me - and the many millions more - I hope. 

This continued MINDSET- keeping cananbis illegal and seen as something bad/negative is wrong- borderline harassment - especially to those who still consider cannabis a MEDICINE which I do, it is shameful behaviour fuelled  by politicians (equally uneducated)  but I realized, I'm not the one who is stuck, refusing to be educated, open minded - refusing to grow - go ahead... it's not the direction I'll take.  I'll continue on the path to enlightenment... the reason God has us all here - while the rest continue to judge on a topic they don't understand or care to.

Soon..  the truth can't be hidden forever & even the slowest of the slow will realize in time.
 This past week I read  (was educated on years ago) & have tried to teach- get you kids pets! It is now being advised by our health organization to introduce babies (children) to germs & allergens sooner to AVOID health complications later in life.  As Storm was growing up I noticed the kids who were  always sick or had allergies were kids who lived in immaculate homes with no pets - so clean you could eat off the floor - at the time I was envious - as my house has never been that clean- lol.  Storm was given eggs, peanut butter and hairy beasts & countless dust bunnies  from the moment he showed interest and as far as I'm aware he has no issues with allergies.

How to change your mind... Start with a book.
​Then try a joint.

What did I do yesterday? Cleaned my ROOM!  At the start of the year I read about a book where the author said 'keep your room clean' - meaning the mental space in your head - it stuck with me & I took some of the advice mentioned - I'll consider reading the book next. It was time of a new perspective - nothing fancy but it all sparks joy ;) & my bed - custom made is great- I actually think I finally know what I'm going to paint - in the spring so I can keep the windows open.  I have no children to worry about so I proudly display my cannabis in a designated area.   It's clean now * comfortable, I tossed junk, thinks I've been hanging onto for years - why? No clue - all worthless, some broken -what ever- it's gone now.
Toss that trash!

Speaking of tossing trash look who's talking trash...
Marc Emery is all over the news again - the self proclaimed Prince of Pot - I can't help but think - he is done' another one taken down by the #metoo #timeisup movement - #whosnext?   If the rest that comes out on him is anything like I am currently reading he is  off to jail again - for sexually abusing women & using his power in a negative way.   Jodie, her 'career' is over too,  I'm guessing - even if she was/is a victim - she was also a partner who seems to be well aware of everything else going on & handled it all professionally as she stood by her man - stand by your man-  phhhhhbt.  I had a friend me tell me someone that works with them closely is also being accused of rape, someone I met. Yuk.. it makes you feel dirty just knowing - I feel sorry for all the young ladies & men he TOUCHED.  I offered thanks this morning to Michelle Rainey, she warned me then "stay away from Marc & Jodie Emery -  they are not as they appear... "   she wasn't the only one.  I am thankful I listened - I've seen it myself - it is easy to get caught up with all the fake smiles & cameras and "we love you" screams to Marc & Jodie at events -  do you understand WHO you scream that to?   I was black balled by the Emerys  & "groupies" because I did not kiss the royal couples ass - (which I was told on several occasions)   Amen,  Absolutely -a blessing in disguise!   

When, I read what he himself posted on the cannabis culture fourm & was posted on twitter - I wanted to puke in my coffee - HIS OWN words - & it reads like instructions  on how to rape a woman in the ass - and then ends with how to ignore her complaints when you're done - I guess for the next time you rape her.  HE IS A PIG & ALL who watched and allowed - are just as bad.  He wanted the attention - he got it.   'This'  is who people have 'looked up to' in the cannabis industry, no wonder there have been such struggles.
This  is someone you want  to hang around?  Is this is someone you support?  
I have the feeling  a lot more is going to be exposed before we hear the end of it...  I could care less if I hear anymore  - I'd rather clean than dirty my mind with what I might read. Paint peacefully than give either of them any more consideration...    I was made aware of the other side of them both years ago.    Thank God.

The sun the moon & the truth ...    who's next?
'Bad boy, bad boy what you gonna do?...  What you gonna do when they come for you?
'Boys will be boys...            'Boys will be held accountable for their actions..

​Back to painting some beautiful natural medicine -true beauty in this world.

Arrrrgh!  -14 is cold (without windchill) - it's a great excuse to snuggle if you can & WE can & do!  The past few days have been a snuggle overload - Poppy lives in blankets from Oct to March - Ginger thinks Poppy's part caterpillar as she's always wrapped in some sort of cocoon... and I've got to say it's so enticing I have trouble not snuggling up every time I see this sweet little face.

This No Drama llama is how I feel - who has time for Drama when your busy being fucking fabulous?  I'm too busy reading, learning,  medicating (enjoying) watching about the planet & all that occupies it - I've not time for "who's fucking who" as long as they are NOT fucking with me - it's not usually my business. Right?  (Trump is fucking everyone right now.. including himself.)  I've had 3 phone calls already today about the #metoo movement & Canadian Cannabis - who needs cable?  "Have you heard??"  
Oh yes, I've heard.

The bandwagon has left the building... I'm sure there a few who are going to hop on & IF they had no excuse they would not bother. I've been hearing rumours for years & kept my distance because of.  #metoo is in EVERY industry & every industry needs to step up and stop sexual harassment bullshit, NOW.  I am in my own way educating women & informing them of my own sexual harassment  because I can't live with myself KNOWING it's still happening to more women for this very reason.  No drama just facts & warnings & proof if need be.  Women don't 'need to make stuff up'  we have enough drama in our lives...  
IF you are behaving badly  & abusing YOUR power- it's not the women speaking up who are the problem.    
Tick Tock. Dick Dock..                   ...is that correct terminology ?
To dock ones pay means to take some away- correct?  hee hee hee

I'm thrilled with the gillette commercial! Bravo- thanks for keeping the conversation going - because it's far from over... sadly.  I started to get caught up in someone else's drama the other day, I couldn't even think what to paint I was feeling stressed then -  'screw this' - JUST paint anything because that is what does occupy by mind - creativity- better than being occupied with other peoples bullshit- that they bring upon themselves.. no thanks I'd rather stare into a llamas eyes anyway  - look away from drama & look upon something that makes you feel all warm & fuzzy inside! lol
I KNOW this works - I continually force myself to paint cuteness because I KNOW it lightens my mood! Who's ready for another sloth?? 

No it's no masterpiece BUT it did in fact help achieve master peace!  Ha ha! 
... too busy being fucking fabulous - how about you?

Worried about being exposed?       Stop fucking exposing yourself.       Duh.

Trying to expand my knowledge on a daily basis..  just because we don't go to school doesn't mean we shouldn't learn something new!  After learning about the egg of life this chicken  appeared - lol.
  
I think it's a reminder that I have a canvas of big birds waiting to be finished - on the agenda for today!  I have a new favourite beverage - Chaga coffee (I call it, because I like it brewed that dark) with 1/2 a lime & a big dose of honey! I find it rather energizing & love the smell of the lime in the morning. Wake it all up! 

After learning Sacred Geometry - I know the egg came before the chicken. 
Did you know ALL eggs start the exact same? ALL....   like this:

ALL.      Therefore - we are all the same,  all connected.        ^ PROOF. 
Be Nice to each other... we all start the same as a tiny egg.

I love my girls.. they are the best art critics and lap warmers.
It's the year of the pig... next.   Such a sweet little pink pig.. wait & see.

Curious George - Explores the garden!  Where is this book? 
I'll admit I was not a huge Curious George fan - & believe it was in rebellion to being Called 'Curious George' when I was younger, especially by my Aunt Marine.  ;) Looking back now, they are fond memories.   Still it's hard not to like this curious little monkey  & all the antics he gets himself into...   I can't help but wonder "if only this book was available back then.. imagine all the misery it might have avoided.

Kids learn through books, every opportunity I get to EXPLORE a book store - I always end up in the kids section  to admire the art, why did adult books get so boring?   Traditional Curious George is what was painted, - just like I prefer the original Mickey Mouse. As fist I considered having curious George with some bongs, joints & other paraphernalia but decided against it as I like to keep the innocence of the Original character & intention.  I reflect sometimes when I see others art (especially cartoons/illustrations) represented in a different 'light' I follow a cartoonist 'Beck  I admire his work ethic & talent -a couple of his stickers... I'm not fond of & it's not because I'm prudish.  I don't know..  it's not a direction  I will go. He has a few I absolutely love like the WB Monster,  his computer skills fascinate & inspire me - to continue painting. lol  I can hardly keep up with online lessons never mind the actual programs - I truly like to use a paint & brush, not that I don't enjoy my ipen & iPad from time to time. Check out Beck on IG, he has something for everyone.

On my Instagram account you can see a real time video &  a time-lapse of this painting.

I highly recommend "Brain Child" on Netflix - watch it & invite your kids to join you.

Next my lesson in Sacred Geometry resulted  in a different sort of Bird.

Sloth intervention...   he was needed to calm my mind.

This sloth was not planned, I happen to see a cute little sloth hanging onto two trees & it said 'Paint me!!' How can one resist these faces? I needed to paint this little face to stare at it makes me smile.  Smiling also helps pain.. it tricks the brain & when painting this sweet little face smiling at me - I smile back!   I was  thrilled to watch a kids show about science on Netflix & they explained 'Swearing helps with pain' - wow.. awesome.  If we can teach children NOT to judge such simple everyday occurrences - the world will be better off.  Kids are so much smarter than we were, all they lack is experience & that comes soon enough.  

Speaking of Netflix... we watched a show about 4 friends who are practical jokers and I'll admit every episode made me lol.  When not listening to 'sensational songs of the 70's on Amazon - I'm listening to Comedy on Alexa - try it...  speaking of Alexa & privacy concerns, I listened to a recent CBC podcast & it explained - people being concerned others could isten & use it agains you - good luck - it will be a legal battle & nightmare should this ever be attempted - NO ONE would use these systems if they thought it would become this simple, No one would buy them so it will be of the upmost importacne to continue privacy rights & protect them for users across the globe. * I have never set up the option for people to call or to call others..  they discussed Alexa just laughing for no reason at all times- if this happened I'd unplug it just from creepiness.  I'm creeped out this past week every time I wake Up - I ask the time (no clocks in the bedroom) the response has been : 4:44,  5:55 - today 3:33!  4:44 several times... What's up with this?   It is  amusing & neat.
The internet informes me  it's all signs 'Angels are with me & I'm to focus on my higher purpose (alwasy) & All is going  exactly as it should - I knew it.. lol    

Have faith...   I do!
A tribute to Curious George Next.   I was called 'Curious George' often growing up.

Have you seen the new documentary called Far from the Tree   on netflix
.. it's a real eye opener.  I am grateful for the  knowledge.

I don't know how people who have it worse are at all comfortable... Psoriasis & stress go hand in hand, from what I know & have researched when stress gets worse Psoriasis can flare & the past year mine has gone from managable & hardly visible to out of control & I contemplate ever wearing shorts again - let alone sleep comfortably.  
We try to avoid 'unnecessary stress - good luck in todays world represented by humans like Trump, we are in trouble,  many times we can't avoid it especially if we have people in our immediate life  who contribute to stress...  rather than help eliminate.

Norm causes me stress on a daily basis & I find myself wishing I lived alone time & time again. Trying very hard to feel good not even 'better'- just good & he constantly brings CRAP into this house - for example he went to natures Emporium & picked up a salad & cheese ball that we enjoy - what else did he pick from the health FOOD store with thousands of options - potato chips. 2 bags. In the chip cupboard they went with the cheesies, rippled chips, low salt chips, high salt chips, taco chips, organic taco chips, greenpeachips & pretzels...  enough is enough, that's the 'chip cupboard there's also several junk food drawers he manages to keep full. I AM trying to keep him healthy & alive & he fights me every step of the way.  He also snacks on toffee & candy, sunflower seeds  & his teeth (the ones that remain) have paid dearly for it.  I can't 'stress about his health' anymore...  he's heard it before, he obviously doesn't care - why do we & to top it off we are seen as 'Nags' for doing so.  Living alone would be more peaceful. That's normal stresses...

'Outside stresses' last year caused me to flare to the point of no return I'm afraid... too much stress to mention, guns, lies, dick picts & more by 2 who intentionally misled & lied for their own selfish purposes,  I write this now because I know they still read my blog & I have nothing to hide, unlike others.  The sun the moon, & the truth..  I will be patient & let God  control timing,  if 1/2 of what I heard is true - it's been brewing for a long time & will be exposed sooner than later & have 'little' to do with me in the end.  Stress? Is there any wonder it's got worse & out of control?  When you realized you have been 'intentional fucked with'  which has in fact contributed to my health decline & not wanting to socialize (trust issues - go figure) I now feel I  have an OBLIGATION to warn others (especially women in the cannabis industry) so they may hopefully avoid being victims to the same nasty pair.   ALREADY  stressing about being seen this summer because of these physical 'scars' now very visible.. I won't hide away, it's just another lesson.    A recent awakening has reminded me again, I am so much more than this body - I am a child of our creator & I will rise above.  Everything for a reason.

If you see the signs of psoriasis TRY to 'GET it under control', sometimes I can't feel it, other times I wake scratching until I bleed & most days it's just incredibly sensitive. It changes from scaly in appearance to (especially if really upset) reddish purple in color, the redder it is the more intense my arthritis pain.  I tried injections in the stomach for years that made me feel sicker with every one & it never changed it - it continued to slowly progress, I've been asked to consider a new medication but I refuse because "it can be harmful to the brain." Go figure. Special soaps dry it out - I would advise as soon as you see it- REST, EAT healthy, meditate (draw) & avoid ALL who stress you out if possible, for me it is possible & this rule has few exceptions - those who 'really stress' me out I can easily go months without speaking - we have feelings like this for a reason- we have health issues for reasons...  had I started to listen to my body & GUT sooner I would not be as physically ill as I feel today, instead I kept it in' most of the time,  I am paying for  it mentally & physically.  

Learn to walk away. Learn to speak up,  Learn to rest.. Sunshine helps!  This is what  'Turn on, Tune In & Drop out' means to me.. apply this to life - to recharge.   Drop off the grid if you can if only for a few hours.  Never be afraid of expressing LOVE, sooner or later is will be seen for the intent it was meant.  When people rise above  'Physical beauty'... eventually, I think most do, we are all healthier.

Psoriasis has no cure, yes it is painful - more emotionally when people look at my legs with disgust (I see it)  just like the 2 who chose to inform me I was physically 'Ugly' (have a look at my butt you two! You helped get it this way... )  I know shallow people exist & it should not bother me but it does...  it bothers most of you too. It's why we all try so hard to look our best- it does not matter - don't give a fuck what anyone thinks because there will always be shitty people out there  & there are also loving, caring, compassionate others, I know a few & am grateful to you  - I'm sorry to show you my butt - but, this certainly is NOTHING to be ashamed of.   It is life, many have it worse than I do - please, show others some fucking compassion instead of judgement - you might be next.

Why are we bothered by stress & the opinions of others - Who are they?
I don't know... I don't know why any of us  think so little of ourselves that we ever forget  for even a second we are a child of God.  I AM a Child of God - exactly where & how I am meant to be - SEEN! * The worst is my lower back & bum - I have included this, I did warn you yesterday! hee hee hee

 Flying High again tomorrow! Wait until you see some of my new art!!

I have delt with serious depression my entire life, I understand why, NOW. While painting this time lapse and watching a documentary -Bio on Timothy Leary I thought of an article I read yesterday and it hit me... since at least the late 60's Scientists in Canada & the USA knew about Psilocybin & how it appeared to be 'helping; with such issues as addition & depression - it's WELL documented & tried by some of the greatest minds on the planet (some of the earliest research done right in Sask. Canada)  & here have we been poisoned by the pharmaceutical industry our entire lives, not even given the opportunity to choose what might be best for our own bodies..    
How fucked up is that? Any of you, think for a second about this. 

The article is about assisted death in Canada and how we might consider making changes to include minors & suicidal/mentally ill - & it hit me like a fucking ton of PROZAC (Prozac - successfully sued for, causing suicidal thoughts & more serious side effects) WHY are we FORCED to consider legal assisted death in this country before being allowed to explore other  NON lethal OPTIONS!?  Look at what's happening with opiates. WHY ARE medicinal mushrooms- AGAIN, never responsible for one documented *death ** NOT offered as a option? I now understand why I have medical issues' - how else would I have understood what  these plants can do..  I  am grateful to them & God for the introduction & everyone who is educating in the past & currently. EXPAND your mind & look up something new or sit & sitcom... the choice is ours.

I have been there, with this TN  I have days you have no idea... but I'm not there NOW - I'm painting, playing with my dogs, catching Doves sent by God!! I had just sent my son  a message telling him I was going back to bed.. awake at 3:33 (Alexa) I had a headache & am tired from a flare in psoriasis, this past year it has gotten out of control (more soon so you can be aware & stay on top of it if you see the signs) & I walked into the kitchen with my empty cup and this beautiful bird was staring at me from 'inside' my enclosed deck! I was worried she was hurt- so I went to get her and she was so calm (just like that bluejay) I think I shall call myself a 'Bird whisperer! Hee hee         ;)    Photo below - it was a moment, a gift from God. I didn't go to back bed I painted this mushroom instead & had a realization.

We ALL deserve a chance at TRUE happiness - some of us struggle- we don't even know why  R E S E A R C H for yourself (especially if you have a child or someone you believe to be suicidal & not having success with conventional medication) - I guarantee you  you will learn Psilocybin MUSHROOMS help for depression & serious illness.  
WTF!?  WHY is this NOT a legal option available - our young are taking their own lives... if we are prescribed medications that  have serious side effects & known to harm/kill - why not this safer option? WHY not first? I'll give you one guess.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you can grow your own$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you believe in God as you say you do than believe God has provided US with food & medicine.  Don't believe me - ​research & prove me wrong. 

WHY are we NOT permitted to legally  have this option - anyone suffering from pain - trigeminal neuralgia? Chronic arthritis? Severe skin conditions- God has assured me to grin and bear it & has provided pain relief with natural medicine & then sent a little bird to cheer me up. ;) Bird was not impressed - I took it outside after making sure it's wings & legs were fine it sat on my shoulder ! Haha - I must say I felt 'special' out in my backyard in my bathrobe with it on my shoulder... I took it back in checked it's feet & then tried again -lol  and it flew up into a tree & sat staring at me.  Fucking awesome! Made my day!
 I'm happy to be  alive even IF I'm really angry at our medical system right now. Again.  
To see a time-lapse of this mushroom you have to follow on IG (which is set on privacy again - It's how I deal with stress' I guess... - if you don't like it - don't follow)

Todays word was Abominable.  
My example:
In 2018 people around the world witnessed abominable behaviour displayed by a 'world leader' (who shall remain nameless) yet, as terrible as it has been to watch unfold his  actions have awakened a nation to the ugliness that surround him & it does appear it is forcing  many to wake up,  stand up,  SPEAK up - even if the rest of the world doesn't believe you. 

What will I be doing in 2019 oh' enlightened one?  (I asked silently)
The same thing we all must do every day.  
Chop wood & carry water.  (Fantasia inspired of course)
Paint & ponder with chores in between - this is life as we know it.
Keep going.

I am happy to be.

Be.

What are your plans?
