A great reminder đ±:
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA.
At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.
At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.
At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 28, Wayne Coyne (from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook.
At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.
At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.
At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs.
Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51.
Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didnât get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40.
Stan Lee didnât release his first big comic book until he was 40.
Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42.
Samuel L. Jackson didnât get his first movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first MAJOR movie role at age 52.
Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57.
Grandma Moses didnât begin her painting career until age 76.
Louise Bourgeois didnât become a famous artist until she was 78.
Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You arenât a failure because you havenât found fame and fortune by the age of 21.
Hell, itâs okay if you donât even know what your dream is yet. Even if youâre flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where youâll end up tomorrow.
Never tell yourself youâre too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you arenât good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is that sets your soul on fire.
ACTION ALERT!
MISSOURI HOUSE BILL 1328 WOULD REDEFINE H**P-DERIVED THC PRODUCTS AS MA*****NA AND ONLY ALLOW THEM TO BE SOLD IN LICENSED MA*****NA DISPENSARIES
THIS WOULD GIVE THE MA*****NA INDUSTRY A TOTAL MONOPOLY ON THE THC MARKET
A MESSAGE FROM MISSOURI H**P TRADE ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
HOUSE BILL 1328 WOULD ELIMINATE A KEY SOURCE OF REVENUE FROM THE H**P INDUSTRY. NOT ONLY WOULD THIS DESTROY THE LIVELIHOODS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED BY MISSOURI H**P COMPANIES, IT WOULD END OUR ABILITY TO FINANCE EXPANSION INTO SEED AND FIBER H**P COMMODITY APPLICATIONS. IâM ASKING YOU TO HELP BY
CONTACTING YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE (LOOK UP AT WWW.HOUSE.MO.GOV) AND TELL THEM THAT YOU OPPOSE HOUSE BILL 1328.

Transparency: Why This Site Came To Be!
For a long time, I have struggled with pain management, anxiety, and depression. I have never liked pills or have ever been able to ever take them routinely! Even with antibiotics I have always quit as soon I started feeling better! (I know, youâre not suppose to do that!) Iâve never been good at birth control pills, but with PCOS that wasnât to much of a problem for the first few years. After my son was born I went on the shot. Which was much easier to maintain then a daily regimen of tablets! But itâs never been in my nature to put pills in my body... the only pills I ever reluctantly elected to take in my life ever, were pills for weight loss or weight management! Pills like Metabolife and Ginkoba among others. And even then I was reluctant. But, I had such a desire or drive to help manage my weight as well, since it too has been a driving factor for most of my life!
But the pain!!! The physical pain... well in 1999 we took out a mortgage on a home, and we became homeowners of our own place! I couldnât wait to garden and plant flowers and make my space my own! (Yes I love to garden and anything nature, hence why I applied for my patient/care-giver license in the state of Missouri to help myself and others! I just have yet to get my space to start!)
During the summer of 99â, I over-extended my back (or what most people like to call âthrowing your back outâ) while hoeing the front yard, to lay grass seed in some rather dead patches. I was miserable. It was like having a stiff neck! You know, like when you go to turn your head and you get that sharp pain. Yeah, that was what this was like, only it happened every time I took a step, moved my legs, or put pressure on my feet, etc... I was miserable. But I rested, was bedridden for awhile except to use the bathroom, but I got better and life went on. The following winter I got sick, and had bouts of coughing spells. During one of the coughing fits while in the bathroom I again âthrew my back outâ and hit the floor catching on to the toilet as I went to help stop me from hurting myself more. I couldnât even get up. My husband had help me to make it back to the bed in the bedroom. Again, I was down for a bit, not only being sick, but also with a back pain problem of some kind. This was the worst, because every time I coughed, I would re-strain the injury or the inflammation. But again I got better and was able to continue on with normal everyday activities.
January rolls around and I find out I am pregnant and due in September. (There were other complications along the way, but that is for another day!) During labor I had excruciating back lower back labor. It was so intense. Me being one who wanted to try and do it naturally with no pain management was hitting intense pain spasms that finally when it wouldnât be safe to do it any longer if I waited anymore I said I couldnât take it and they had to give me the epidural. Yaâll, I had been scared of this procedure from the moment I ever learned about it! To many what ifâs! Thatâs my anxiety coming into play! The things that go on in my head! Anyways, as scared and afraid of this shot as I was, the pain was just too unbearable for me to stick to my convictions, and I had to break. I was so disappointed in myself! Another one of my internal ways of thinking... but, I lay there resting peacefully finally. And my family watched the contractions on the monitor double in strength and magnitude from where I had been when I took the shot. Yaâll, as much, as I wanted to hold to my convictions, knowing the contractions doubled in strength and magnitude slowly from there, I now know I would have never lived through that had I tried to do it naturally. I also, think back and wonder, even after the epidural that body is still having the contractions, we just canât feel them. So... did the contractions at that size and magnitude damage something in my lower back, that I had already experienced strain in twice previously in the last year? But, again I healed and I got better.
Over the years I continued on, but now with limited ability. I couldnât do anything that could potentially throw my back out. I couldnât lift things over a certain weight. I couldnât really go bowling anymore. I couldnât handle jarring amusement rides. Just little subtle things about my life changed. At that point it wasnât enough of a burden to really cause the damage in my life, that it has! But then 2007 and 2009 I got pregnant back to back and had my girls! When this happened my back took a turn for the worse and with my upcoming choices I prolly continued to make it worse...
When I say they took a turn for the worse, I mean... new changes with the pain began to take place. It wasnât subtle anymore! During my recovery time at home. You know that 8 weeks after delivery, that you bond with the baby and such; I would be carrying one of my infants and walking through the home and I would feel a spasm come on and have to yell for a family member to âCome take the babyâ because I was afraid I was going to drop them or fall with them. Because when these spasms would take over I would lose the ability to put weight on my feet due to the intense nature of the pain. I would wake up sometimes in the middle of the night needing to adjust or roll over and not being able to move on my own in order to turn over because the pain at trying to sway my hips, a simple task to accomplish, was so excruciating it would put me in tears and I would just lay their crying because I literally felt like I couldnât move.
But, I was still having weight control issues and was finally wanting to do something to change that. When I got pregnant I would lose weight. So after the birth of my girls I had dropped so much weight, I didnât ever remember being that size in my life before and I was so happy to have at least that one thing better. So I was determined to keep it that way and I took a job in a shipping company. I was determined that if I had to exercise everyday then I would do it at a job and work out for about 1 to 2 hours everyday and I would get paid for doing it, instead of giving my money to a gym. Well for two years this worked, but by the end of the second year and into the 3rd I had now had more things happen to me in my life that increased the pain, including the job. I had a rear-end collision, where I was the victim, that resulted in physical therapy. I âthrew my back outâ on the job due to an over-compensation movement and that increased the continual pain. It now started to become an everyday thing. Anytime I bent over it hurt. If I stood on my feet for long periods of time it hurt. If I sat in one chair for long periods of time it hurt. Trying to climb stairs now hurt. I still have not found a bed to sleep in that does not cause me to wake up hurting. In fact one night, I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and as soon as I forced myself to stand up and I put pressure on my feet the pain was so intense I couldnât hold my urine! Some days are better than others, but this is when I now started to seek medical advice.
Medical advice that once again led me into the world of pills! But this time now it is, anti-inflammatories, painkillers, and muscle relaxers. OH MY! Are you kidding? No! I tried, believe me I tried. I just canât do it. So, I live in a life where, I canât lift anything, I canât bend over, I canât sit for long periods, I canât stand for long periods, I canât sleep comfortably, I canât roll over in bed, any exercise that causes a jarring to the back, pelvic, or tailbone is out, My housekeeping skills struggle, my mom skills struggle, my wife skills struggle, my daily activities struggle. So that finally brings me to why this page! The only thing that has kept me going on a day to day basis has been Cannabis. If it were not for Cannabis I probably would not still be here. Iâve been quoted to say that I would rather be in a wheelchair and not feel anything then feel this pain that I feel on any given day. It never goes away, it is always there. Some days it might be a 3 that fluctuates to 5 or so throughout the day depending on what I am trying to accomplish. And some days itâs a 7 to a 9 and I donât even want to get out of bed or move. I just want to sit or lay on a heating pad and give up. It is a constant struggle.
Now that you know the pain scenario of my life and what brought me here! Understand that Cannabis helps my anxiety and helps me from being hard on myself because of my lack of abilities. It helps me to numb the pain some and or subside it completely, if I find the right strain, it helps me to push through the day to achieve completion of everyday physical activities. Cannabis is medicine! It is a plant grown from the earth, not much unlike, Kava Kava, St. Johns Wort, Lavender, or Eucalyptus, etc. It is a natural medicine made from the earth, and IMO, as long as it is regulated by a doctor and or holistic physician then that is what it should be classified as! Because of this belief, it has brought me into the world of Medical Ma*****na reform and legalization within my state and soon federally.
Thank you so much for reading to the end. It shows that you do have the compassionate and caring nature, that I too myself have, and that is what I want this community to represent! From here on in, letâs just be real with each other!
So letâs chat about all things cannabis! But Leave the politics out of it plz! THANKS!
