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.

How Do You Deal with Accusations / Manipulation / Hatred?

Things just keep getting better! “Not”  I wake up every morning saying “ this is a new day” things can’t get any worse!  “Wrong” it is and does.

Accusation: I have been accused of being inconsiderate in not thinking of others because I have chosen to “Not” get the COVID Vaccine for several reasons and before someone pipes in and says what I’ve already stated above” here are my reasons, my choices:

I am very much pro-life and I have learned that more than one of the vaccines developed contain cells/ tissue from abortive fetuses. The vaccine itself has not been tested. Any previous vaccines that are approved take years.

Each person has the absolute right to get the vaccine. It’s their choice just like it is for those who choose not to.

Manipulation from representatives of government, those on the left, those who have shoved the fear down the throats of the people who should know better, ignore science stop!

Hatred has developed from all of this. People will ask “ are you vaccinated? “, I no longer say either way, since saying “no”, there became isolation, scrutinization, name-calling as well as having lost a few friendly acquaintances along the way.  Hatred for not having taken the vaccine becomes more evident.

Again, if one decides to take the vaccine, fine, I don’t hold anything against anyone because they have their reasons, and while I am at it here, I am so thankful to BizCatalyst 360° for the platform to say freely what one thinks without Accusation, Manipulation, and Hatred. God Bless.

I pray too that this evil spread of the virus will come to an end and that there will not be any residual for those that have chosen to take the vaccine and that the manufactures will refrain from using the cells and tissue of fetuses which in my (opinion) only encourages more abortions.

The fruit of silence is prayer. The fruit of prayer is faith. The fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace.

–Saint Teresa of Calcutta

4 CONVERSATIONS

  1. I agree with all your points, Lynn. Never do I recall having so many sources try to manipulate the public. The government, CDC, various medical sources, the media, etc. I refuse to be manipulated or join a herd stampede. Since I don’t believe or trust any of those sources I will not get the shot. If I can’t go to sporting events, I don’t care. I don’t have a job nor do I want one. And travel at this stage of my life is something less than essential. The “vaccine” is technically not a vaccine at all but a chemical cocktail that no one knows what the long-term results from it may be. (By definition a vaccine must include either live or dead elements of the virus.) I can only wonder what the real reason is for this push to vaccinate. It certainly isn’t to end the virus as the general consensus of all these sources is that people will have to get booster shots in six months, and maybe more later. Of the seven doctors I have talked to only one has gotten the vaccine and the other six do not intend to get it.

    • Thank you Ken for taking the time to read and comment. I can only add your entire comment to an addendum of what I wrote because you are correct in what you say, knowing that its your opinion as well. I realize that many chose to get the Vaccine because of underlying issues, I get that, however, what has been injected into the bodies of many may not show its ugly heard till years later and for those who are elderly it probably won’t matter, its the children I am concerned with. I also agree that this will be a drawn out request of repeated vaccines for COVID. Why? because the vaccine is still being tested. Be well and safe

  2. Yes, indeed Nightingale. The Covid-19 vaccinated have an intrinsic fear and prejudice against those of is who have elected not to put the experimental and untested Covid-19 gene therapy (not a true vaccine) injected into our bodies. “If” the vaccine actually works and protects them, why do they fear? Already there are warning signs that “vaccine passports” will become mandatory in order for one to travel, for one to attend public events and even for one to keep their job. I draw the parallel to the book of Revelation about folks needing the sign, “666” implanted on their bodies in order to buy or to sell. God help us and guide us with His abounding grace during this climate of unwarranted fear and discourse.
