The Practice

I follow a writer and influencer named Maxpein on X.

The curated posts always raise the bar,

but this one vibrated with beauty and poetry.

Without force, I am simply suggesting

tune in – the time is now.

Integrate your tools into your being.

Practice meditation without music, incense & oils.

Practice opening your heart without cacao or chocolate treats.

Practice multidimensional sight without plants.

Practice yoga without a mat.

Practice ceremony without feathers, guitars & drums.

Practice clearing without sage.

Practice enhancing, amplifying and protecting without crystals.

Practice without any aids…

just You and the expanded You.

Practice conversing without convincing.

Practice being without doing.

Practice feeling without analyzing.

Practice experiencing without criticism.

Practice listening without projecting.

Practice thinking without a story.

Practice speaking without parroting.

Practice seeing without lights.

Practice dancing without a DJ.

Practice getting there without GPS.

Practice creating without a laptop.

Practice connecting without a phone.

Practice Love without conditions.

Practice. ~ Kamau Abayomi

Ideas Of The Future

Over the years I have lived as a photographer, I have realized that being a creative artist has, over time, has enabled me to be a creative ‘see-er’, too!

I treasure and cultivate my ability to see things differently by actively listening, day-dreaming, and using counterintuitive ideas to access an ability to look at your questions in a fresh new way.

This discernment allows me to:
‘connect the dots’,
find new ideas / markets for your niche,
see new directions,
enhance and improve offerings,
and refine messages to reflect more accuracy.

It’s a great feeling when I hear:
“That’s a very good idea!”
“I haven’t thought about it but that’s a good idea!”
“I love this!!! I’m totally going to share it with my group tomorrow!”

Reach out here or via my website Contact Page, and I am happy to ‘take a look’ at a topic of interest for your business – or for you.

I feel that this way of envisioning will bring you an original idea or concept you have never heard before. And it’s my desire that it will benefit your life immensely!

Tend Your Chicks


Chickens come home to roost, and so do your thoughts. Be careful what sort of thoughts you send out.

The thoughts you send out to others will have a far greater impact upon you than upon them.

Unlike a material possession, when you release a thought or give it to someone else, it also stays with you.

It may remain buried in your subconscious long after your conscious mind has forgotten about it.

Like chickens that return to the coop at night, such thoughts may flash into your consciousness when you least expect them.

When your thoughts are positive, you never have to worry about the damage you may do to yourself through negative thinking.

Cheerful, productive, happy thoughts that are buried in your subconscious bring positive results when they recur, and by their presence they encourage the maintenance of a positive attitude in all that you do.

This is a thought-energy selection from my favorite, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.


I would love to help create and maintain positive energy in the home through intimate family and personal photography.

Keep it Fuzzy

A valuable skill in our sensitive, seeing world

is relaxing the eyes’ focus (letting the eyes ‘go fuzzy’)

when waiting or resting.

It rests more than your eye muscles:

it also gives the ever-spinning wheels of mind a rest, too,

and lets your intuition come through

to show you how to see something new.
