Part I
heart broken
explodes fragments scattered strewn
the jigsaw picture pieces
shattered lost
no replacements in sight.
Part II
heart broken
wide open
new ground
turned and tilled
seeds take root
future fruit bearing.
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.
Heart Broken

Hi Tony,
I like the message contained within this story as it describes the two options when life throws us curve ball.
Part II is always the better choice and your words “new ground turned and tilled, seeds take root, future fruit bearing” give us the hope we need to move forward to the next day. Thanks for sharing.
