My next canvas is a statement piece & the timing is perfect- I'm finishing today! Arrrrgh!  I'm reminded again why I'm not on FB I hear it's really ugly at the moment- or Juicy' what ever you choose to call it -  I'm off of it... I read enough yesterday of what M.E. wrote to know I don't want to read anymore.   I feel bad for anyone who puts up with crap for a paycheque as I've been there myself too many times.  The more I read the more I thought of Jodie in a new light & I can't help but feel bad for all the stress she must be experiencing and not for 'her own actions', imo she has always been impressive & professional in her talks and her demeanour & when your husband behaves like an ass what are you gonna do? We have all been there, most of us anyhow.  This is a little more than behaving like an ass.
A wife should not be punished for the actions of her husband -visa versa- just like the saying a son should not be punished for the action of his father.
IF this were the case - we'd all be in trouble.

I was struggling with this painting because I know women who are struggling with sexual harassment in the industry & no one is safe.  I started it a few weeks ago & then was told by a friend her boss is again threatening her with loss of employment if she does not comply and I got all flustered and walked away- I don't want to paint in anger.
Where do you go for help? Who do you ask? It was only a matter of time & it's far from over there are many horror stories - it's EVERY industry but because this industry has been ILLEGAL for so long it's been permitted to grow & thrive. Pun intended.  

I  'lol' yesterday when I read  a post where Dan Bilzerian (what ever his name is) posted about this "#metoo shit  getting out of control.."  & another man replied: that's priceless coming from a guy who's kicked a woman in the face, broke another woman's leg & pays models to be with him"  Wow. Thank you to that gentleman for speaking up & SEEing the problem. If you behave like this  yes, I guess you might be a little worried.
Thank God for #metoo,  maybe in a few years women & men will   #  #notmethankfully

It's already been going on for too long, here is an article to give you some insight: ​https://www.revealnews.org/article/in-secretive-marijuana-industry-whispers-of-abuse-and-trafficking/     Men & women are being abused mentally, physically & financially  consistently taken advantage of by those who have money & power.  
Usually men - Cocks in the field raising a ruckus -what else is new?  
I am able to see the cocks because I also know a few gentlemen in the industry - thankfully . & for this reason I give thanks or cannabis legalization in Canada - this sexual harassment  bullshit won't be tolerated - no one should be worried about not receiving a paycheque for the job they are HIRED to do - without fear & constant stress from predators.

There is hope in legalization across the nation!
​Accountability & professionalism & Product Quality are what will survive in this industry...  Be nice.  
Time to paint this grey day away!

I'll expose my cocks tomorrow.. lots to look at.

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!!

Tis the season for depression.  That is the reality for too many.  You are not alone.
I've seen friends say they don't feel like Christmas at all,  know of some that are having family struggles (don't we all), custody battles - where will the kids spend Christmas, recent  separations & stress over holiday confrontations or alienation... a couple of girlfriend lost their moms this year and are struggling with the first Christmas without - makes me glad mine is still here & cooking all the veggies  -  :).   At the same time  I see & feel their sadness - one friend can't even speak to me about it - we both TEAR up instantly.. she has a huge family & will survive the holiday I'm confident.  How about those with a small or no family.. do you think Christmas is a happy time for all, hardly.

Then there is the stress of Christmas spending, I'm seeing that almost everywhere - this thing about giving people money - what's Christmas going to come to? A banking holiday?  Not sure what to get someone for fear they won't like it, having too many you feel you should buy for, I read the chance of a heart attack of the holidays increaser quite a bit- is it the food? The excess booze? The stress?   Shovelling snow is often a factory btw.. take care.

This year has been incredibly stressful, I try to pretend it's not- yet I'm having difficulty even leaving my home (my trust in humans is not what it was)  & throw in Trump to the list- I'm positive that  orange ape is responsible for an increase in Christmas depression around the globe.

When I look at the effect the toll of stress has had on my own physical body just since the summer - my one side has completely covered in psoriasis that wakes me from pain at night & the scabs on my back and down my right leg to the bottom of my feet -  I'm concerned it's got out of control...  So,  NO - the last thing I'm going to 'let' stress me is Christmas.  Tis the season - it can be very overwhelming for adults & children &  pets - I don't know about you but I'd like to encourage all of you who are feeling blue, sad, depressed - - embrace it  & say FUCK IT! It's just a holiday, just another day - if you're focusing on Jesus- awesome-  as that is the reason  for the season.. Jesus knows  so don't sweat it-  if you can pour yourself a cup of medicated tea or a glass of nice wine.. roll a joint & climb in a  warm tub like this sweet little ginger & slide in and RELAX ('Im about to do this now)  it will be a great start to melting holiday stress... warm jimmies, movie on Netflix , medicate popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon... GIVE yourself a BREAK &  Fuck it.
