Help Spread the Message and raise awareness for Suicide prevention and The Broken Child Welfare/Protection System.

To quote Victoria Chapman, from https://www.facebook.com/AweVibes/,

"Black Diamond, Bubba’s story is a real life depiction of the unfortunate realities of what happens when a family requires support and ends up in a broken system. It highlights Jordan's personal journey through mental health and addictions, and the long term impact and effect that falling through the cracks of the social service system, can have on someone’s life. Jordan committed suicide Christmas morning 2019.
We must do better FOR our people as a humanity!
A reformation of the social service system, is required immediately to work with and for our people that require support the most! #MissV
I’m so proud of you for writing Jordan’s story and being a voice for those dismissed by the system Dann Shake Verner🙌🙏❤️"


Although "Black Diamond: Bubba's Story" is my son's biography, it is also a "Call to Awareness & Action".

Let not Jordan's suicide be for naught. Let it open an avenue of discussion and ACTION.

The majority of the system we are presently using were developed after the first and second world wars to deal with the large amounts of youth left orphans and such. 

It is now 2020. Many decades have passed without any re-vamping of the many agencies and facilities involved in Child Protection/Welfare systems.

To quote Bob Dylan,
"The times they are a changing,"

In this case, changing times are long over due."

Let us all step forward and demand action NOW!!!

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Hey America, Sorry To Say, But …….

  I have been told that 1 percent of the American people are running the asylum formerly known as “ The United States of America “. So, what are the other 99 percent doing? A few lame protests? You all remained silent even when both Trump and Musk openly admitted to rigging the electoral computers in Pennsylvania. You all allowed the fascist rapist to STEAL the Presidency from Harris.  You have stood by and allowed your newly appointed Dictator to commit crime after crime.  I remember a time when the American people actually stood up for their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Protests accomplish nothing and only fuel the nutjob’s ego. Now look at the mess you have created!!! Every member of Trump’s administration  is corrupt and and should be arrested and JAILED! He purposely has put incompetent people in charge of key positions across all government departments and programs to create multiple chaotic disarray and confusion. No Dictator in history has ever given up their power...
