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

WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

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.

I Am Here Now

I am here now
gazing out over the rim
of my morning cup of coffee
watching the steam rise
and envisioning those wispy vapors
carrying my dreams skyward

Here I am now
looking out onto the vista
of this brand new day
a blank canvas of possibilities
spread out before me
waiting to be explored

Settling down now to listen
to my inner inklings and knowings
I quietly tap into my exuberance
taking time to carefully color
my reveries with broad strokes
and bold visions bright
with potential and grand aspirations

Here and now
in this magical moment
I am oh so vibrantly alive
fully present and attentive
pen in hand
poised above the waiting page

Ready to craft my perfect intention
the one that will carry me
lightly and brightly forward
into the waiting hours
and onward…andante…en avant…

Beyond these nascent imaginings
that are emerging and blossoming
in my mind’s eye
so that they can unfurl brilliantly
into the rest of my life

  1. Good morning everyone. This truly is my favorite way to begin each day. When I make/take expansive time for the morning to unfold, it always yields so many blessings… including a new poem this morning (which I will eventually share once it settles onto the page😊 The poem that Dennis Pitocco is sharing here was an attempt to capture the magic of that process.
