Before I went to bed last night I decided to paint Poppy. I've decided it's time to paint my girls... can't find Poppy? look under a blanket! Poppy has trained us to never just flop down ona chair if there is a blankey on it- chances are - she is under it... I'm missing her this COLD winter- I hardly "see' her as she moves from blanket to blanket but when it comes to naps- she' is there!  It's due to Ginger I understand how special poppy has alwasy been- she's never been like Ginger who is anon stop source of amusement & is cosntantly into things... Ginger is the kid you know to 'GO look and see what they are up to' - when things get too quiet. lol  Poppy was sent from God to be my constant companion & official service dog.  I doubt I woul dhav went to California withouther & am so grateful for that adventure with her.  

Storm calls her 'Poppy the Grey' like a little wizard wrapped in her blanket - just peeking out enough to keep a watchful eye on all thats going on.  3 planes, countless hospital visits, restaurants, movie theatres, boats, china shops (lol - no bull) & even the Getty museum in CA & if I could I'd take her to see the caves with me in France..  mentally we've alredy been, I've been so blessed to have this tiny friend with me & hope she's here much longer.

Daisy had a lump on her neck- the vet was'nt worried and estimated $700 -to $1,300 for a to have it drained but it did not seem to 'bother' her so we decided to keep an eye on it... a couple of week ago I though screw it, it's getting bigger - called the vet to take her in  but due to the extreme cold I was NOT walking - so we waited- & sure enough it popped and we had to clean it- DUE to watching Botched surgeries on Netflix  (we both joked about this) - we were not 'too grossed out' & cleaned it out.  Daisy never even  winced when we cleaned it - the vidoe we took to show Storm would make some want to vomit.  
Think about it, not being fazed due to watching those shows no wonder violence is where it is at, video games not responsible for increased vioence?  Gun rampages in the USA a common occurance  NOW.  You get 'use to seeing things' & it doesn't bother you as much... will anyone ever be held accountable?  Nope.  

If I had younger children I'd be more aware of what they are watching  and limiting violence,  I was reading they are considering (I think it was Germany)  banning children from under 14 for having cell phones, I agree.  I regret watching all the terrible, violent movies we watched - I wish  these were decisions would be made later - when kids reach a certian age - like letting little boys decide for themselves at the age of 18 if they want to be circumcised.  
I think it should be law after learning about this topic & OUTLAW female genital mutilation -  'female circumcision'.
   
I DID binge watch DIRTY JOHN - yikes.  Based on TRUE story Ladies -please, pay attention &  romance fraude is on the rise with people over 50 in Canada.  I have to say I found it upsetting & I know women who who have all had this happen to some degree.  I had my own online expecience with a compulsive liar & dick picts. that made me ill  - the stress alone it added was bullshit, I still lose sleep over it.    I won't spoil it but really listen to what she hears while in the bathroom in the last episode.  Sad times for oline dating days ahead...  KNOWLEDGE is power - and safety.  ​I'll get a new DOG long before I'll get a new husband.
& now the Amazon guy - another dick pick - OMgosh - I loose ALL respect for men when I read this crap - some role models we have ruled & destoyed by their OWN penis.
No wonder the world is in the shape it is in... 
No wonder I love dogs. 

Time to get under a blanket & sunggle.
It's family day! A holday in ontario - enjoy the time with your kids if you got em' & your pets.

& this...   this beast below - is a BLOG all her own! lol 

Drug Mule... the only kind I like is the furry kind above.
As long as drugs are illegal- drug mules will be used & it's an entirely new level of low... 
Clint Eastwood has just made a movie Drug Mule that I hope to watch soon... I also recommend:  ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZlgZGMVFFs   Maria full of grace.
Prohibition kills countless ways & it discriminates no one. As long as someone is making a lot of money they will continue their ways- at any cost.  Puppies who had drugs surgically sewn into them by a "vet" - is just as serious as forcing a human & I do hope this 'vet' goes to jail , for the rest of his life.    Who is to blame?

Anyone who believes Drugs should be kept illegal - it's obviously not working so the sooner we end this bullshit the better - no!?  I no longer believe the majority of drugs (used for recreational or medical purposed)  should be kept 'illegal' ... it's human nature humans want to get HIGH - do you think there any coincidence in our Hello?     
Hi!

By keeping drugs illegal we keep these horrid practices happening, that is a fact.
Let's get our 'asses in gear'  -  educate, regulate - tax even! Anything to prevent the loss of life, especially for those innocent victims usually already  in unfortunate circumstances who have no choice but to be a part of  ILLEGAL Drug trafficking.  
A few possible suggestions for now...
Shop locally. Buy locally produced product if possible.   Grow your own.  Advocate.  Educate. Encourage legality.

Talk to your kids NOW so they have an awareness of where drugs come from & BE HONEST (the bellies of puppies sometimes) so they are able to truly understand at an early age the impact judgemental thinking & outdated laws have on each other because you know what's bound to happen... these 'kids' are going to grow up - and TRY drugs, go figure.
Let them BE Educated on all that matters...  frankly, I believe this issue matters more than most bullshit history we are 'still' taught...  time will tell.

Whats worse than drug trafficking?  Human trafficking - let's focus on that.

Check out Me & Larry posing for a selfie! Hee hee...
Larry is OLD! He loves me & I love him, he would sit on my shoulder all day and smile if I let him, Ginger fell in love and was obviously delighted when they shared a bed- she actually rolled over & was submissive to him lol..    
Love  has NO boundaries.  

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.

Tonight is the night to see the wolf BLOOD moon & I'm excited!  Anyone who claims we are not effected by the moon - is in denial.  Thinking about the plight of birds... the flight of birds who are effected by the moon & night sky  like my red breasted robin  & my hopes are birds will not disappear as soon as anticipated.  
Lets hope the planet won't disappear as soon as anticipated. 

Global warming, pipelines exploding, trees disappearing, fish dying, women still marching for rights not given, women marching to have missing women acknowledged', human sexual trafficking is at an all time high- Children are the worst victims and what do we 'see' constantly -  ignorant little pukes like this one:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/indigenous-march-student-mock-1.4985493?cmp=newsletter-news-digests-canada-and-world-morning in their  red hats covering their hate filled brains.   All this has me  thinking...  we are in trouble if this is the direction of our future.  

This past year has me convinced we should abolish  ALL MALE schools.  
Look at the pack mentality it creates,  A PACK of wild, nasty beasts who in the past year have been exposed for rape, abuse & violence -  of fellow students (each other)  & then all those around them. I can't imagine its helpful to young women- I don't have to STUDY or have research done to know the mentality & conversations being had in such environments ABOUT women in general - neither do you.   All boys schools only strengthens the "Boys will be boys mentality" - and these boys will be running the world one day?  It's frightening - especially when we see the evil that already resides. #metoo isn't going anywhere & #whosnext  & of course #timesup ! thankfully will help keep those who behave badly in check - or at least shine a new light - so we can all SEE the evil for what it is and CHANGE it.  Correct it.  Call it out!

I'll be looking for the beauty in the moon tonight as the same time I'll be praying for world peace...       I'm not alone, this I know.

'Blue Monday' tomorrow...  Grin & BEAR it!  It's just another day...

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.

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 figure the timing is about right, Christmas depression setting in for about 25%of Canadians, holiday let down, bills arriving, pounds packed on being noticed & resolutions already being broken,  who's feeling festive  now - Fuck Off!   LOL

I still am feeling festive! I did not make any resolutions - well yes, I did- Less Alcohol (I've had NONE so far in 2019),  paint daily (done), focus on God & Good.  Keep the past where it belongs. So far so good. HAVE no FEAR for ALL that comes this year...  God's got my back & will get me thought it with flying colors! I know.
 
I'm off to a fucking great start- oh, & READ more! Last year I read a book a month this was one I forgot to tell you about: Swearing is Good for you.    Finally proof is in- so all who judge me for swearing can Fuck Off  (said lovingly), I swear  & now I understand why- I swear more- Pain. Apparently swearing helps pain- scientific proof shows it helps those suffering and allows for great pain threshold. It helps for social pain too.  I HIGHLY recommend this book for EVERY TEACHER - I had no idea about swearing and children & Tourette's- children need to be understood & NOT judged, children & adults who deal with this already are stigmatized by UN educated (myself included) ignorance of the subject & it only hurts them more. 

I have noticed increased swearing since brian surgery - or since fucking failed brain surgery...  I KNOW when I get really upset- it's all I can seem to yell - I can't even get words into my head between the twitching, anger & frustration- I can swear like a trooper/Judge Judy (also known for her choice wording) & YES, I have paid for it and probably still  do  - oh well, I don't (can't) give a fuck - I was raised with swearing - so it's common place, I swear when I'm happy just as often as I'm sad!  I can be fucking thrilled beyond words & fucking disgusted with how some behave...  I SEE the reaction in some others when I swear- sometimes I feel flustered (like when speaking to an older pal/nun friend) & I understand it's usually age related, those who love me seem to accept it and understand- our wording does not always reflect who we are. I am NOT a criminal or bad person for swearing - they are words.

As a matter of fact- this book was a rude awakening-  empowering even! When I learned about the difference between men & women I thought: here we fucking go again..
What bullshit - yes, it's o.k. for men to swear - but still looked down upon for women- women will be judged for EVERYTHING from swearing in public to & breast feeding -to which I say - Fuck that! Just one more reason to keep women down & I refuse to be a part of it, especially for all the young ladies to arrive after me. I BELIEVE if more young women were taught to speak up and say FUCK OFF!! ​Fewer women would become victims- I'm many ways. When I was younger I'd have strangers grope me, really - I've been grabbed in public (my boobs when just a kid in a store), ass grabbed (too many times to mention), rubbed up against on a bus/subway & more- if it happened NOW- I would turn without hesitation & at the top of my lungs YELL - GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME & KEEP your fucking hands to yourself - WHO the fuck do you think you are!!?
*I guarantee you the pervert/person would think twice the next time.  
Fuck that.
Teach your daughters to swear, teach them it's o.k.  to express themselves as men do & protect themselves with words & their voice.`

So here is a Fuck OFF to start the year.. painted lovingly.  If you want to judge me for swearing & think I am a lesser person for it- it speaks volumes about you first of all -- o.k., & please tell me this: have you expressed as much disgust/anger today towards  people who abuse children, people who fucking  use children as sexual objects with pornography  or worse...  these predators can appear so sweet & professional & never swear.   Ted Bundy was so charming, never swore- do you know what he attributes to his serial killing spree- pornography, simple soft core pornography at first, he escalated into violent porn. and then started killing (words from own mouth) & children as young as 8 are sharing naked images online encouraged by strangers who don't swear & don't give a fuck about your kids.

It's time we get our priorities straight - what more fucking important - words or actions?   Don't judge a book by it's cover or a person for swearing...  especially if you have no idea why they swear.

If you do choose to judge me & think I'm less classy, educated, feminine, less of a mother, person, artist - because I swear- FUCK off.  lol   You are not worthy of my time, art or thoughts - I've more important issues to focus on.

​WARNING - next blog on psoriasis - some might not want to see. 

P.S. someone commented, Timothy Leary was 'not well liked - people think he was reckless' &  I agree- I also think he was egotistical- amazingly enough,  I thought  while watching the documentary- what did people see in him? Like him or not he did bring  an awareness & at a time when he was punished was at an ultimo high - for what- cannabis & mushrooms, plants.   

How can you tell when a snowman's 'high'?  
I'm not sure.. you should ask a snowman.  
He is high on life this snowman... as it should be.

Tis the season, I woke today with a blinding headache and then heard on the news some fucker threw his dogs out of his truck window on the highway,  why do things like this bring me to tears in an instant.  Who does this?   I hope that person never knows the  gift of a dogs love again.

A new documentary on circumcision  is on Netflix, I learned of this years ago but was reminded and have to reiterate, had I known then what I know now... so many moms crying Imagine your child losing his penis & you find out it was due to a botched circumcision a procedure that is not medically necessary - or even explainable any longer & you chose to have it done to your son.   *DO NOT google image botched circumcisions or you just might cry.  It's a business.   To find out they also hardly use anything for pain.. what a terrible life experience to force them to have only days after  blessing this earth.  Please watch this and consider educating someone else, please don't not blame your parents (one young man is  interviewed and is very upset but I understand his parents point also) -  I have no doubts that many parents had they actually KNOWN what was involved and why- would have chosen different.  I realized due to the documentary - we speak up much more against young girls being mutilated in the same way but give baby boys NO considerations to this decision in the USA & Canada.   I believe it should be a personal choice left for a young man to decide (if he wishes) at a mutual agreed age (what that would be I don't know) 15?  18? 21?  The same age we allow them to drink alcohol?  I'm not sure, you should ask  a young boy considering such things.

It's also a time to be reminded.. not everyone is having a happy time at Christmas, many are alone, missing loved ones, sick, tired, financial burdens, relationship issues, people throwing dogs out of windows on highways  - what ever- there are countless reasons to be depressed during the holidays - and then people have the added pressure of "It's the holidays!"   Don't cave to Christmas pressures - be good to you &  think of others who might be struggling & perhaps you might come up with some small way to make the time a bit brighter for someone else.

I wanted to paint something special in my new painting space..  my homeboy emerged.
Good.God.

It is when I am at my most tired and grumpy... there He is lifting me out of the  dark well & making me smile.  My imagined Jesus - I did not look at anything when painting Him I just enjoyed myself and expressed LOVE.  Thought about good times & people.   I WAS in the MOMENT. I was in the NOW, THEN.  hahaha.

Before I knew it I was sketching with a brush Jesus in the garden - the original HOME grown homeboy  -hee hee- growing Gods' medicine.  Cannabis is mentioned in  the Bible fyi. I added some tattoos because Jesus would be and everyday kinda man don't you think?  I doubt a suit & tie guy. ;) and will still add more as I go along, when ever the desire strikes me.   Inspires me.   Lights my spark.  Celebrating with Jesus because there is much to celebrate here in Canada!  Other than excessive packaging and shortages..  and Visually BORING packaging.    lol 

I love Jesus, 'No' -I'm not religious...  just as some love and are followers of The Kardashians (ugh), Brad Pit, Iron man.   etc...    I love Jesus.  He is my homeboy, rock star.. positive role model.  As real to me as buddha to others - he makes me want to be a better person and yes, I feel him close to me  several times during my life when I needed him most. Thank God.
Therefore HE is my saviour more times than I can count.

Someone e mailed  'they don't bother to pray because they're not sure they still believe'.
I responded: If I lose my faith I lose everything. I also believe 'Prayer  changes things.

We should never hate anyone simply for who they love, admire or put faith in..   the power of prayer will have this  guy know hell. This 'MOST recent' shooter in the USA was hate filled fuelled  by TRUMP, anyone who denies this is in the dark! Turn on some fuckng lights - the light inside of each of us... the spark- is LOVE & It can outshine Hate easily.  
Light the spark - GO VOTE. 

Want to see some looks of horror & disgust - wear a 'Make American Great Again' hat in Canada. Hopefully it's just a - in poor taste costume.

Now I have Jesus in my painting room- reminding daily to  SHINE! Do what you love!
& teach only love..  & inspire with art ...

VOTE.   VOTE. VOTE.
Please Jesus!! I believe in the power of Prayer!
Let Americans Make America great Again by VOTING out the DONkey.
Jesus & the Devil on the same blog page.. lol - I know who wins! Ha!
AMEN.

No better way than to spend the last few days of an August heatwave than to read a good book by the pool  & I can do that in my own backyard! Amen.   
This one...  all I can is:     I did not see it coming!! 
Read it in 48 hours- perfect beach/pool read as it says on the back of the book.
I highly reccomend it. Reading it at one point I became very distressed.. I experienced  a terrible 'altercation' by a man who once claimed to love me - what she experienced  near the end of the book & the author caught it quite well.  

It also speak about  lying humans...  abusive, controlling men in particular, people who PRETEND to be someone they are not... time will tell - eventually ugly surfaces-  and eventually it is exposed. I couldn't help thinking about how many women are fooled by abusive partners and how many go back into  abusive relationships with them - time & time again- even though they KNOW the person is nasty- usually because there are too controlled, insecure & abused to see past it - or too tired to admit it, mentally & physically.  When will they learn? Possibly when it's too late.  

I laughed out loud (in shock & amazement) recently when a girlfriend shared she's 'back with her partner'   -  the one who she caught lying and fucking around on her (several times)  & she tells me she's o.k. that he exchanges nude photos with other women & visa versa -  lol - I guess he talked his way out of it AGAIN  or bribed her well enough in this case..   & I couldn't  help think at this point...  You're pretty fucking stupid if you think that's all he is sharing.   What do you think?   Keep going back...  & at that point I decided no one can help those who truly don't want helped - stupid is as stupid does.  
I've no doubts it will end badly, time will tell.
Not my circus - not my monkeys.

This heat had me & the girls in the pool yesterday & today.. Ginger has had her official swimming lessons, when she swims to the stairs - she stops at he top and turns and looks at me - so she is not afraid of the water & that's part of it. I'm NOT complaining!  Fall is literally around the corner.

I designed a 'day bed' & asked Norm to build it, the back will be painted - I've included areas for storage baskets  & even a cubby for the dogs to sleep- lol  lets see how this goes.
I'm very excited as he starts this weekend...

Time to paint a Canadian Cannabis Painting inspired by a friend I met long go at our first protest... it makes me happy to see people I know doing well!!  especially those in the cannabis industry- i KNOW how hard some have worked.

with TLC & THC & CBD   Mostly THC for me today.
