A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

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.

Create a Beautiful Life

How do you create a beautiful life? One simple moment at a time.

This personal credo poem was inspired by an activity shared by author Amanda Turner during a fundraising event for the Star Community Library. I decided to share it as part of my 67th birthday celebration this year. Sixty-seven years of creating a beautiful life…

A Credo Poem, by Sora G

Live simply. Laugh often.
Let LOVE lead.

Savor your moments.

Be kind. Be generous. Be curious.
Be full of wonder.

Listen more than you speak.

Worry less. Trust more.
Judge less. Admire more.

Dance even when someone is watching.

Dream impossible dreams.
Explore. Go where there is no path.

Surprise yourself.

Let go of everything you don’t need.
Keep only what brings you joy.

Smile more than you frown.

Walk barefoot on the earth. Tread lightly.
Plant your roots in heaven.

Be occupied by Love.

Be less busy. Be more engaged.
Be aware of your impact.

Become a solution.

Choose friends who help you bloom.
Cultivate connection.

Create a beautiful life.

(One moment at a time.)
