Well we finally got busy and  sorted out the basement, Storm's moved and we decided NOT to rent out the apt... instead  it is my new Studio chill zone!  I asked Norm yesterday: before you go to work, please carry down the easel - Today I paint! & that is exactly what happened - I spied a tall canvas - the next thing I knew I had sketched and started painting what I call:   HomeGrown Homeboy!  Jesus is my home boy & he is thrilled Canada has become legal with cannabis , hopefully ending much unnecessary suffering... over God's medicine. 
Happy Jesus - yes he is. Me too!

So much for my Halloween monster..   this painting will take several days- more cannabis than I've painted yet to date & it makes 'ME smile -  It makes me want to throw my arms up and say - Thank You for this glorious day & I can't wait to get back to it!!

I 'feel good things in the air- not just witches & goblins ;) 
I want to add I made a conscious decision to NOT have my computer, e mail or social media in my studio, radio only... I like many of you WASTE too much previous TIME scrolling when I should be creating.  I can be in a GREAT mood & see something on social media and suddenly I'm grumbling... this is me taking back power.   Doing what I love, making myself & others happy.

It does have counter space,  a tiki island (hee hee) a space to sit and chill, read, consume cannabis - a cannabis bar if you will and  pups & paint- who could ask for anything more? BIRD even flew down & spent a few hours- it was priceless.  I do have (always) extra canvas & paint for any brave enough to come & joint' me ;)  Wear dog friendly clothing and bring snacks! 

New art next.. have a peek in my new studio & thanks to Kat of Kats gallery for framing all the original art you see for my own mini Gallery ;) The girls and I love it. lol

Today is the First day of fall - it feels like it- not yesterday.  Yesterday was hot with a wicked wind all afternoon- and it was LOVELY!  I read in the gazebo and actually took a dip in the pool - Sept 21 & the heater was OFF. Global warming not a thing.... right.  The winds turned into a tornado for Ottawa & Quebec - it must be incredibly frightening & would make one ask  (the one who's house was hit): why me?    I don't know ask Dorothy.

Today is the fall equinox a time to rejuvenate and align with the stars, it gave me my fall horoscope & I couldn't agree more especially on the  'bad medicine mades me stronger.'  I agree somewhat wit the stars - after all long before us people have used them for guidance  on several levels, I also find traits of the Signs usually common.  

​I started this new book which I was attracted to because of the cover- much like my art - I think it inspired the Faun  although there's been no mention of one as of yet.  All The Ever Afters..  so far so good.   I'm already excited, I ordered my next fucking book on line The Book Depository ! Can't wait till it fucking gets here! lol - They are fast & have free shipping. 
I'm quite faun of this Faun  (hee hee) surrounded by foliage - smoking a joint in the garden of LOVE. I guess Halloween being right around the corner is partly responsible, I've got Frankenstein on my desk NOW- when was the last time you watched the classic movie?  We did last night  WOW- I have a difficult time believing that movie was made 30 years before I was born! 

Above all else today is the best day of the year IMO :   It is my son's birthday!  
The love of my life is another year wiser & what a year he has had.  I won't be seeing him today - he's got plans with friends in the city  but I'll celebrate it with him later in the week.
I can't even think of what to say- other than I love my son and want only the best for him- always.. it really is that simple.  What mom is any different?  
To know he is in his element right now, working hard, excited for the future, meeting new people everyday - living on his own in the city - traveling - working in the cannabis industry, at  very exciting times.  I woke up today feeling happy because of Storm - he is very wise (I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom) & kind, I don't really think much about Storms future any longer  because it is HIS future - he has good friends, a great job & he tells me he is happy...        ​ I'm happy.
Thank God. 

Time to paint! What's your favourite Monster?

This is the only way I seem to be getting anything done today...       lol
Feeling  antisocial also which tells me it's time to tune out & toon in. 
Grateful at this point in my life I can recognize & accept this - and do exactly this.
Not to mention all the wonderful painting  I do.   ;)         My meditation.
Wait until you see 'Bitchy Witch,  Franky & his bride & possibly a zombie or two..

29 days.. I'll just keep painting & smoking cannabis anyway, nothing changes here' other than the date.  When I asked : What shall I paint to celebrate legalization??
Storm remarked:    All  of your art is celebration of cannabis.      
Storm visited and then treated me out breakfast the next day..    I love my son.  
Got my hugs, kisses on the forehead... blessed I am.
Have you been to the RiverEdge restaurant lately? The view is peaceful & the breakfast & service was fantastic. We ran into a friend I haven't seen in years, she admitted  she cried for a YEAR when her daughter moved out for school & she STILL has 2 at home, I felt better about only crying for 3 months.. lol
Storm just smiled.

Time to paint for a couple.. might start a canvas.

I am for abortion.  I am for life.
When does life begin? 
https://www.wired.com/2015/10/science-cant-say-babys-life-begins/

Babies in cages and sent to prisons- without their parents- the USA has never looked so UGLY, the Assholes wife- wore a jacket- when I first saw it i thought it was photoshopped, when I read it was not - if I've ever defended that cunt as 'a woman in an unfortunate circumstance',  I take it back.  Just when you think they can't get any LOWER they do.
Now the presidential pig is changing his mind' due to back lash..  Sessions using GOD" to make sure AMERICANs keep in line - the bible tells you to respect your government - all who listen to that crap ASK yourself- IF you believe:  What would JESUS DO?   

Today I saw a 'beautiful American blonde"  who posted on FB she thinks "they should all  be shot at the border"  to save money & time.  I think I know who should be shot first. I saw a hateful post on IG.. she: hates Canadians, hates Trump and hates  Americans who are not patriotic - (an American herself) I looked at her IG page out of curiosity- I 'saw' a beautiful black woman, dressed  nice, appeared professional, smart- but her comments were nothing but UGLY & bitter and so did she become this after you read all the nasty things she says on line.  Beauty really is ONLY skin deep.

I 'get it', if you let people come - they will.  Well, if American stopped raging wars and bombing other countries for their own personal greed - Foreigners  probably would stay where they 'belong' in the first place, belong in their own culture, thriving, happy,  in a lovely country with sunshine, family & friends.  The USA has destroyed them. Look at the images below & tell me would you stay?

I would be doing everything in my power as a mother to get my child to a better life & opportunity. So would every American mother - I'd hope.   Yes, I get some criminals try to get into the country too & this must be recognized  but there is NO excuse at all for abusing children (infants & babies)  & treating them as if they were animals, Infants even. Doesn't American understand the pain they are causing on a grand scale will only bring more pain to them?  

So when does life start?  Perhaps if we really thought about it - took it seriously and decided it start at conception - I just learned something & found it bothered me - with in vitro fertilization they sometimes 'smack' the sperm agains the glass to 'kill it' first so they can inject it easier...  so, a dead sperm can make a live baby - what kind of a start is that to life?
What if the sperm feels - it is ALIVE after all.  How much do we understand? 
We are all so busy children are being abused constantly by babysitters, caregivers, forgotten in hot cars to die, stolen, used as pawns in relationships, sexually abused (some now born for this reason- that is the most fucked up thing I have ever read)  little babies beaten, treated like objects.  

I think babies should be considered babies at conception - perhaps then some might think carefully before they bring the little being into the world. Children do not ask to be here - we do that.... If a baby is NOT wanted - I do hope they are aborted - rather than brought into a life of abuse.   Anyhow this thing with kids being put in cages and separated from parents- has me feeling  worse about humanity.   I need a serious detox. 

Yesterday was also  marked 117 days to legalization.  
Wait until you see some of my new art, I'm taking it to a new HIGH.
I also have a new camera set up & am making some videos in hopes it will inspire some & teach them how to paint.  
​More tomorrow.

My new 'thing' on Instagram is to find other 'Georgia's' - introduce myself and send them a card - 'Us 'Georgia's have to stick together'.. lol  Why not.. it started for fun - a curiosity- many  Georgia's have the same traits' -  Does this apply to people with your name? 
They are usually artistic- musically inclined and all are lovely - of course ;)  
 A while back I decided to "gift a Georgia - Georgie' an original.. a unicorn -Fuck Yeah!" & it was also my most serious mail mix up & Georgie' had to mail something back to Canada for me, hee hee.  Georgie liked her Unicorn and my style and asked if I would accept a commission - I was somewhat hesitant until she asked for it to be a 'Bear rendering' - of her & her honey!  I said - 'sure'.

Once I finally started -weeks later- I realized JUST how much I needed to paint my bears! Thank You Georgie.  It was a boost I needed - these bears turned out better than I imagined.
I looked over Georgie's Instagram  page, got a feel' & came up with these TWO loving creatures.  I also realized I do not wish to cover my bears in clothing, luckily Georgie has great hair & you can see it on her bear.

I painted them with  TLC & THC of course.

 I spent yesterday reading about cannabis legalization in Canada!
WOW, I can believe cannabis is legal- the 'relief' I felt  was surpassing - even to myself
I can hardly drag myself from desk- painting Oh Happy Day!
Oh Canada!  Oh Cannabis - Thank God.

Thank you ..  Prohibition has failed (again) - the time for legalization was NOW.
​

Yesterday we spent the day in the city, Storm took me to a Bird festival!  It was wonderful- there were trained, captive birds and  areas all over where you could see the different birds in their nest, learn bird facts, see the birds we have, what's endangered and what we can do to help them... it was quite an impressive event - packed with kids  I was thrilled to see all these future birders, hopeful they will grow to appreciate & protect the birds.

After our bird adventure, we had a lovely BBQ and then Storm took me to this years LIFT EXPO.  It's really changed and the businesses - WOW! Get ready Canada- there is so many new cannabis businesses it's going to exciting and curious times.  It was terrific to see the friends we've made over the years (got caught up on many hugs) Storm and I had many laughs (as always) thinking about some past moments as well. In all honesty I saw some faces who I've interacted with in the past  and thought to myself.. Naaa - it is time to move on.  In general - I don't know that I'll attend another cannabis expo,  it is what it is.. stuff, cannabis business. I love to paint and educate about cannabis - I'm content doing my own thing.

Lot's of discussion about cannabis being legal VERY SOON Canada and how  there will be a shortage, the Government won't be able to keep up with demand is the expected outcome... and that will be bad for business.   I'm not concerned - I won't be buying my cannabis from the Government. I would buy 'if I had to from a individual dispensary actually - to show my support. I have friends in high places and have incredible cannabis to smoke always - better than friends...  I have my son.

The word is out - the cat out of the bag..  I witnessed it yesterday with my own eyes.. several people came up to Storm and 'congratulated him.  Storm has been officially hired  as a lead cannabis consultant  & is working with some who are very big, already established & incredibly talented in the industry.  It is comforting I know he is surrounded by very knowledgable, experienced, successful friends - an amazing bunch - friends he has had now for over a decade already.  EVERYthing for a reason!

Am I Proud?  Fucking right I am!!!  We know this journey-  Storm has continually risen above, even in areas where I still struggle - like attitudes of others  -he just ignores, forgives and keeps focused - it's how he got to where he is NOW.   I have been blessed to experience cannabis from ALL over the world now- and it is something to be able to say  "My son is growing some of the best!"   & I'm obviously not the only one who knows it. 

***BUT... yep the time has come, Storm moved out.  
Did I cry?   Hell yes!  & still do from time to time - lol - I MISS HIM!  We all miss him.  
We've already visited a couple of times and Daisy will be  living in the city & here part time - he misses his doggen and she him.  His apartment is perfect, it has a guest room for when Poppy & I visit!   Hee Hee  -  We've got some city plans this summer for sure! 

Where does the journey go from here - That's all up to Storm.
The first time driving back from his apartment- I cried all the way home... it hit me -
he's left & I doubt he'll ever return 'full-time'  he has returned already to do his laundry- lol...  and I realized as clear as this beautiful day before me now :

Anyone who doubts God has a plan for each one of us from the very start
- doubt more.

Who better than to grow his own life saving medicine than Storm? & he has grown some incredible medicine for his mom too - to help with my  brain pain.
Of course he is going to  produce INCREDIBLE cannabis - INSPIRED BY LOVE...
you can not fail & he is gong to help many do the semaphore themselves!

I thank God for Storm & Cannabis EVERY day.
Now it's time to show my appreciation & love  by getting back to painting.
Amen.  ;D

Happy Mothers Day!
This lovely bud was provided by my son.  
A Mothers day to celebrate for sure!
He was the best gift from God I will ever receive.

Soon more will become educated about this plant ending the stigma.
& Yes! Woo Hoo recreational - with that more medicinal  will naturally occur.

By the way.. I never encourage impaired driving, if you are NOT familiar with cannabis or how it behaves with your body & mind- please  be responsible when you drive * or get in a vehicle with someone who is responsible. - try it the first few times in a situation where you do not have to drive.  Please do not drink alcohol & smoke cannabis and drive.
Cannabis will be blamed.  It will be anyhow.

Please do not drink & drive.
​
While Im' at it- do not text & drive EVER - and do not drive with your dogs on your laps! That was in case anyone forgot I was a mom.. lol 

Another girlfriend in the garden...  I have a third started as well, she is more voluptuous.
Do what you love.   
Surround yourself with love - I'm also a mom to 3,  4 legged girls & a feathered friend...
My constant companions.

I miss Mushrooms.
I miss Foray weather- hunting for the many different mushrooms across Ontario. It has increased my appetite for them as well therefore they are consumed in most every meal I make...  portobello await.  Instead of outside they are appearing on my desk,  I'm going to 'gift' a couple in the spring at Forays - it's a wonderful way for a family to spend quality educational time together - I'll put one in a basket and wait for SPRING to inspire a little mushroom hunter.

Wait until you see my new 'Mexican Medicine'  painting...
the medicine has a secret message for us  &  so does my painting for all of you!  
Storm said 'I should wait until valentines day to show it.
It took 3 days with some frustration but mostly fascination! 

I just watched the movie 'Maudie',  I did not realize the extent of her life in Canada or how severe her pain was.  It left me feeling  blue but inspired. The arthritis part especially got to me. The drastic changing of the weather is simply  painful, I'm sure I'm one of  many. 
It went from 5 and muddy to rain, freezing rain and now a blizzard outside - this one day.
This is why we talk about the weather- it effects our lives dramatically.  I'll be going to bed early, smoking some very good cannabis from Storm - I wish you could smell it- it smells like 'citrus' so much I thinks it explains my craving for lemons, blood oranges & pineapple.  

Someone passed away, I didn't know him very well but I saw him quite a bit... it came as a shock.  I cried all day of and on,  I couldn't stop thinking of the family & the loss they must be feeling.  

A shooting has occurred in the USA in a school & kids are dead. 
Here we are again, 15 with a gun in a school... blah blah blah.. does anyone listen?
LOOK who once again pays the price for Adult laws & their "safe"  guns.

My mom sent me  quite the comfort food package delivered to my door, cabbage rolls, scalloped potatoes, meat pies.. & OX tails! I was craving after a friend of Storms mom made some earlier in the wee with were equally as tasty but completely different.  Geez my mom can cook... everyone is well aware of this fact.  I am thankful for "HOME-made  food- I had a bit of everything and passed out for 2 hours.  
Now it's time to paint.
