BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Arriving At A Place Of Peace & Joy

Is it possible to live in a negative world and remain positive? The answer is yes, it is. I’ve lived long enough to know that it is. There is something magical about growing old because with it comes wisdom if you allow it in. Older than dirt folks know stuff and if you want to be wise beyond your years then seek out all you can find and listen to what they have to say. It will help you along life’s path. Oh, you will run into some crabby ones too. Those will be the ones that don’t know the secret I’m going to share with you.

Come with me for a little respite in time and I’ll lead you, if you’re willing, toward not only your destiny, but how to get there with the grace and knowledge to break the cycle of worry and fears of the unknown arriving to a place of peace and joy.

It’s the beginning of earth’s renewal time, in my little place in the world. The leaves on the tress have come into their own after a long winter’s rest as are all the pretty flowers bursting open to show off their brilliant array of colors. They care not that the winter was harsh, for they live with the knowledge that nature has just as we do many seasons before death comes knocking at the door.

Let’s pretend for a moment you are a tree living in the death grip of winter, would you see this as the end and fall over giving up on the hope of a new season of renewal?   Would you throw in the towel believing you don’t have the right stuff to find your true destiny in life?   Do you really want to succumb to your lot in life falling into the darkness of those winter months never seeing the beauty and the knowledge awaiting you only to fall inward toward despair embracing a negative world never to rise again? That folks is why trees aren’t negative.

Neville Goddard once said, “A change of feeling is a change of destiny.”   I’d like to add this feeling is not only possible, but it is possible for everyone willing to embrace it. You may be asking, “But, how do I embrace my destiny when it’s all I can do to make it through one lousy day at a time?” You may feel the world is a mess right now. You might be thinking, “The world is out of control, and I wish I had never been born to see the sadness and harshness in the world of today.”

Neville Goddard lived during the Great Depression, yet he believed a change of feeling could change his destiny. He lived during World War I, World War II, Korea, not to mention many other distressing things that happened during his lifetime. Yet, he held steadfast summoning up courage, staying positive and you can too.

Love is the greatest positive feeling one can have. It carries all the other feelings that bring you happiness, joy, passion, enthusiasm, hope, health, wealth, and the very excitement you inhale with every breath you take. It comes from deep within you from you. Love is what was present when you drew your first breath of life. Don’t fall into the trap of negative when you’ve only misplaced love because somewhere along the way in your life innocence was lost and negative thoughts began; people, hurts, and wounds took a slice out of your life force.

Love is, was, and always will be the original spirit and life force. Many search a lifetime for it. They don’t know it is already there waiting and surfacing briefly in the form of sheer bliss when you least expect it. It’s love’s way of letting you know I’m here and you can have me, all of me. The spirit of love wants you as much as you desire love. Think of it as a radio frequency. Love is a positive life force. It knows all and sees all. It waits patiently for you to discover it’s power to overcome the negative in your life that is robbing you of your destiny.

I know what I’m about to say is going to sound strange, wrong even, but first you must give yourself permission to forgive yourself for the pain you harbor within you. You must forgive the inequities of those that have damaged your spirit and turned off your life force of the love buried deep within you. Forgiveness is the best spiritual bath you will ever take, because when you mean it with all your being, you are set free to accept your rightful inheritance, the spirit of love and the path toward your destiny.

I can hear your thoughts, “This old lady is either nuts or in the early stages of dementia.” Sorry to burst your bubble, but I can tell you there is no way to stress yourself to success thinking that will make you happy and fulfilled with your life. You can’t take enough drugs, drink enough whisky, screw over enough people, or make enough money to buy things to get the relief you may so desperately desire.

“To be in Love with loving is to be in a continual state of forgiveness.” Yes, I said those words, and I live by them. What does this really mean? It means the negative you of yesterday can’t be revisited, not ever, without allowing old man negative to sneak back into the life force and steal your love. “Love is a life force, and it’s yours.”

Change the way you think, and you will change your life. The goal here is to allow this spirit of love to communicate with the spirit of the Universe. Love lives there. Stay on that frequency, and wonderful things begin to happen for you.

Why is it so important to you to have this heartfelt moment of forgiving yourself?

It’s the one way to kick all the pain of whatever horrors of life that haunt your every waking day creating sleepless nights, to the curb. You can’t think it away with your mind. You must speak it aloud. There is something powerful about speaking aloud those memories of the bad things of your experiences away.

You can tell it to the Universe, to God, or to a rock, but talk it out. Say it aloud; hear your own voice vibrating upward and out, so this elusive love can hear you and bubble forward to do its job and change your life.

Love will heal you and make you whole. The Universe will talk with you guiding your every step toward your real destiny.
