"The Magic Happens"
Wayne, Kat and Friends
Thriving out Loud
The older you get,
the more you learn to
see what you've been
taught to see. When
you're a kid, you see
what's there. - Steven Wright
Life is what I do now.....Up until few years ago, I did my time at the 9-5 and now it is time for me to do as I desire reaching out to me, instead of the bosses of the world. *LOL*
My education background is wide and varied, from a computer graphics specialist to looking after the registry of air controllers. Officially, I am trained in architectural technology and became a graphic artist, and made my way through publishing and into the computer sectors, computer graphics college teacher. From there, management and into early retirement, so to speak.
My family has always been small as I was the only child. My extended family runs through my closest friends without who I would not be the person I am today.
My home is in Brantford, Ontario Canada, a little out of the way but not too far to be close too all that is desired.
I live with my beautiful and loving partner Kat.
Kat is also a co-founder here at Powerful Intentions.

My greatest pleasure in life is connecting with people and seeing them have a great time within the obscure warped and distorted sense of humour of my mind.
More recently, the aspect of healing from within, has taken me on a another track of my education......but that is another story that you can eventually hear about in my blog.
Bottom line, given my diversity, my growth in life has played a great role in becoming my teacher and continues to do so.
My vision is to do the Happy Snoopy Dance every single day of my life.

My Powerful Vision
I awake on this morning and know exactly what I am doing on this sun gleamed day of mid september. I roll over and give my lovely partner a warm sensual kiss and depart for areas more attuned to bringing myself into the light of being.
Off the master bedroom I move to a subtle yet brightly shining room of creativity and imagination, amongst the walls of stone and old english shutters.... My mind wanders to not so long ago when all was not this way, a life of not only a lack of desired toys and money but also a lack of eveything needed inside of myself to be able to soar to the point, I am presently at. It was a only a few years back when I was introduced to several friends and on that day, my life changed forever........I now realize that I did have all the values, and goals inside of me but needed more clarity to see through all the negativity and false self worth to attain the life I so desired.
It is totally awesome to say the least, the feeling of total wellness inside and everything my heart could imagine, including all the money I could ever need.... More and Better.
Here I sit in what I call my dream.......a castle of proportions that are beyond belief, on the west coast of Canada, overlooking the ocean from my soft Italian leather chair, enjoying the serene ocean sounds and soaking in the soft yet brilliant sun streaks....washing across my still awakening face. The energy that abounds inside of me is earth shattering.
Today is a day like no other that I could have scripted. This day, I have invited our best friends to view a project of such grand proportion, even I am amazed. You see, I am an artist and also a designer and many years ago, I decided to build my dream castle out of my vision and share it with my love. Today, we shall open this castle to our friends and enjoy a marvelous day together.... My body is adrift in a sea of total contentment as I imagine the day ahead.
The castle stands up high on the shore, overlooking the majestic blue and grey whitecaps of the never forgiving ocean, surrounded by a moat and the drawbrige entrance that would put to shame, any old crusade movie on the market today. Moving inside, the guests are greeted by a massive courtyard filled with a huge covered pool encased with tropical plants and birds.The castle surrounds the pool area with a turit on each corner. The largest turit, facing the ocean, contains the master bedroom and the quiet area to meditate and create.
Upon entering, the main solid oak doors, strapped with forged blackened steel hardware from the local blacksmith's livery, all eyes beam wide.
The grand foyer is a compliment to what my vision has attained. It has the winding staircase, the suits of polished armour, the crushed velvet red drapes, flowing from ceiling to floor, chandeliers and candles hanging everywhere.

The look within the eyes and soul of my guests is enough to say, "Wayne, this is so awesome".
My love now joins me to help greet our guests and the day proceeds with the grand tour through the castle for all. We show them all the efforts we have placed here to make our life what we wanted it to be. Sneaking a peak at my love, blowing her a kiss and a quick wink; we both know that is where the true vision begins, friendships along with an inner wellness that has been worked on for some time now.
The friends are toured through the entire castle, seeing the high tech room with all it latest toys.
The library filled with everything you could possibly imagine, stacked neatly from floor to ceiling.
The sancutary, as I call it, an area for magic.
The music and dance room with all the latest sounds and many more of the classics including a dance floor so smooth and shiny it is a dancer's dream, lined with mirrors all round.
The old english style stone kitchen, large enough to hold a divine dinner for 20 or so.
The areas are all the same style of castle excellence but some contain the toys by which I can now fully appreciate and make use of, not to mention afford.
The friends are each taken to their own suites where they may freshen up for the evening that has been planned for them. The guest rooms are never the same, each having their own comforts and style. There is the African room with tribal artifacts and enough bamboo to give you the feeling of being submerged deep inside a jungle setting but without all the pesky bugs. The disco room where you suddenly step back in time to the funky scene of chunky shoes and leisure suits, flashing lights and the steady drone of Staying Alive, softly playing all around. There is also the fantasy room, the nostalgia room, the sci fi room and what castle would not be complete without a Robin Hood room, with all the amenities of Sherwood Forest.
Back in meditation, I sit here overlooking the ocean, awaiting the fantastic evening ahead, feeling that I am where I desire to be. My life has been about people, learning from, sharing valuable tidbits of information and helping all when and where I can. I remember the hours spent reading the forums and putting in my twenty five cents worth, (inflation), hoping to be able to touch one other reader with a piece of information that helped to benefit me. Being a part of the forums and especially the connections made a terrific difference in how I got to where I am today. Using the forums is a huge part of my life and will continue forever. I am in full control, content, happy and in LOVE with all that surrounds me.
Heading down into the stone kitchen, with it's enormous open sided fireplace, I survey, the stone top table, straight back carved chairs of oak with metal trim, with plenty of space to seat 20 people. The table has been prepared with the finest of linens, pewter plates and of course our custom made goblets embossed with many magical crystals, each having their own distinct powers. Magic and healing, more specifically, crystals, have played a key role for me in obtaining total wellness, both mentally and physically.
The glowing fire brings a soft yet radiant feeling to the whole kitchen along with the smooth smells of food simmering in pots and on the hearth. The cook has been busily preparing a feast to die for, on this monumental occassion. There is freshly caught local seafood both for appitizers and for the main course along with a buffet of other tantilizing foods to make any food critic's pallet, water over and over again. Now off to the wine cellar, to make a selection of, not just red or white but several wines to try and create a symphony of liquid that will match the upcoming feast.
Satisfied that all is set for the evening, I return to the bedroom to get ready for this wonderful friend filled evening. A vison from heaven, so lovely and stunning greets me as I enter. The now fading sunset glistens through her sparkling red hair, accenting her smile that is beaming from ear to ear and shines brillantly on her silver sequin dress.
I pull her close to me and give her a passionate kiss that lingers forever with such love and devotion to each other. My voice speaks softly and says with all my heart " Baby, this is what I have always dreamed of and now I can say, I have done it, I love you and give you my eternal gratitude for supporting me in what I so often dreamed of". Realizing the hour is getting late, I change and take my love's hand and make my way to greet our guests in the kitchen area.
Sitting down at the table, our guests begin to arrive and are greeted with a goblet of the finest wine in the lands and are told that the goblet is theirs to cherish always as our gift to them. Many toasts later, fun filled jokes, entertaining conversation, beautifully prepared food and the night is slowly passing into what one might call the wee hours of the morn......
The guests begin to file out to their themed rooms ever so slowly, with much love in their hearts and belly full of food, leaving just my partner and I to savour the remaining evening while sipping down the last drops of after dinner drinks. Once again taking her hand and making way to the bedroom, the smile on my face says it all as does her's. This is what I have waited for my whole life and am proud and content that I could not only share it with my partner but also the friends and people that helped give me strength and awareness to make it so......I love you all so dearly.... My life is complete....for now, But always evolving to that place I can see down the road, My Vision
