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.

It’s More Than Just a Question?

It’s been a while since I have written. I have so many thoughts to share but do not always create the time to write. Due to the speed at which life appears to be accelerating, I feel it’s important to return to writing. It’s one of the few ways I know to keep an account of thoughts which may or may not have some significance.

This writing is a little bit different. I am posing a question to which I am inviting you, the reader to participate and respond to. I encourage you to participate and share your insights and perceptions. When you feel the urge to respond to another’s sharing, pause. Take a few relaxing deep inhalations and exhalations. Take notice of yourself and if you are too focused on your own thoughts and eagerness to respond. Pause again, reread their response, and take it in fully giving it the time and space the perspective deserves in order to be digested and received. When you feel you’ve allowed the response to be taken into your full capacity, simply respond, “Thank you for sharing your thoughts.” (Note: This does not mean you agree or disagree with anything being shared).

If there is something you would like the person to expand on, simply ask, “I found this (fill in the blank) interesting. Would you expand on this?” Allowing the person to expand on their thought. Hold back the urge to respond to someone’s perspective. Your task is to receive and be in question to expand on their thought. This will allow the space for you to take in and receive what some have to share. It is not necessary to agree, just simply pause your own thoughts and criticism. Allow some time for self-reflection to what someone has shared.

This evening, I found myself texting in a thread with a group of friends. Normally we meet via Zoom once a week and discuss energy, ascension, day-to-day activities, world events, the occasional conspiracy theory, and so on. Today we began a text thread that brought up the topics of Taylor Swift and Princess Kate. Particularly we focused on Princess Kate and the Royals. Now we did not get into specifics it was more about our curiosity about what is going on and how strange it feels that there appears to be little information about Princess Kate since her hospitalization. Now, that’s not exactly what has prompted me to write. It was a question/comment made in the thread, “Why is it so important to care about these people who have done such horrible things? I could not help, but feel the coldness or detachment from this question. While at the same time, I find it to be a very important question indeed. Particularly from the perspective and understanding,  “What is in One is in the Whole…”

Let us move our attention away from the Royals and focus on the question and change it slightly.

“Why is it important to care about people who have done horrible things?”

I invite you to sit with this question. For some of you, it may be personal, and close to home. For others, there may be some personal distance and relate to political figures or those in positions of power of some kind but not directly associated with you. I think you get the idea. Whichever memories and thoughts come to mind are all valid. Take it a bit further if you are willing to do so.

What comes to mind for you? Is there judgement? Is there anger, sadness, or any other emotion rising to the surface within you? Are you remembering being harmed or harming another whether it was physical, emotional, mental, verbal?

If you are remembering being harmed or harming another, was it accidental, deliberate, or perhaps collateral damage, unintended infliction of pain and suffering? If I were to guess, we all have harmed or been harmed in some way. These event(s) may have impacted you greatly or very little.

This is how I responded to the group thread, “It’s important to keep the heart open, stay focused as the light comes in. Grow our ability to be in the violet fire etc… and to hold the ability to have compassion, mercy, discernment vs judgment. Hold the light for those souls and energies that are unable to hold it for themselves… stay focused in our purity as the veils are being lifted and the truth continues to reveal itself and all those committing horrific acts will be held accountable for their actions and lies, misdeeds and so on…there is so much coming to the surface and revelations within the collective as well as the individual.”

I would further add, that once you begin to close yourself off to compassion, forgiveness, and care for another human being, you cut yourself off to the ability to transcend, grow, and expand. That spec of “shadow” sits silently in you, in your body, in your cells, in your DNA. You cut off the full expression of Love and hold all souls as sacred and divine. This way of being is not black and white. It is truly multidimensional and not easily held. Please do not misinterpret this. This is not condoning behavior. I feel all behavior is and will be accounted for through Universal Laws and Physical Laws. . .

Again, I leave you with this question: “Why is it important to care about people who have done horrible things?”

Much Love,

Gina

During my 14 ½ year career in Law Enforcement, I witnessed this interesting evolution. New hires would go from excitement and openness to loss of compassion and a hardened exterior. I also witnessed myself do this same transformation. It did not feel good in my body and being. I remember saying to myself, “I do not want to lose compassion for life!” Wow! What a VOW I just made to bring Compassion to the world. Little did I know this VOW activated a spark within my heart, which now I would describe as my SOUL’S calling. I stepped on a Path of Self Mastery. This calling has evolved to support others develop Foundational Skills to navigate their Awakening Process. Every soul will go through an Awakening Process in Divine Time. The experience of the Awakening is unique to each soul and is infinite I now realize opening my HEART and SOUL transformed the way I experience life.
