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.

Fly Away

This is a story of a child that loses her mother at an early age. Her father is raising her alone and tries to comfort her about her mother’s passing. He tries to reassure her that it’s a part of life’s journey and we all have our time here but there is heaven and never fear, she will never be alone on her journey when it’s time to fly away from this life.

  1. Jeff, blessings. This is such a moving piece. I lost my mother at age 13 after leaving the foster care system, and my father at age 23, although losing one’s parents at my age then, I feel deeper sorrow for those who are much younger. The song is beautiful and you just gave me something to write about. Thank you
