How is it that a month has FLOWN by? Has it really been that long since I posted a blog? Much has happened in a month and yet life seems delightfully, dare I say it, normal. I know, I know, "normal" is simply a setting on the washing machine. No, life has reached a point of stability for me and my girls and it feels really good. In less than three months I will somehow manage to finish this undergraduate degree in psychology that I started 20 YEARS AGO ... the hope is that finally getting this piece of paper will open employment opportunities that were not available to me before because I didn't have a college degree. I have great faith that my "perfect" job is being set up for me as we speak ... when the time comes, everything will go click click click and I will look up and find myself gainfully employed making enough money to pay all my bills, buy my girls everything they need, most of what they want, and have some change left over to buy a mocha at Starbucks with whipped cream.
I have had tests in all my classes now and I am holding a strong C average at the moment. A "C" NEVER used to be good enough for me but that was before having two kids and managing to raise them without a father around to help. No, now a "C" means passing and passing means diploma. I might care more if I was planning on going to graduate school but since I am not a "C" is perfectly wonderful to me.
So here is a question that has been on my mind ... how much am I isolating myself by being such an avid and outspoken supporter for the end of the "War on Drugs?" There are still SO many people out there who believe cannabis is bad and evil ... they don't know the truth and don't seem to want to hear it either. What's worse is anyone who associates with anything smacking of illegality is somehow less of a person. "Yeah, that Kate is a nice person but she is pro-pot so I don't want do associate with her too closely." You think that doesn't happen? My "peace and cannabis" stance is tolerated but not appreciated I am afraid.
Oh well, I am who I am and at least I am passionate about something that can't kill you. I pray that cannabis hemp has its good name restored within my lifetime. It truly is an amazing plant - the more I learn the stronger my conviction grows ... End the War on Drugs - End the War against Cannabis - let peace and freedom reign.
