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.

Magical Mountain

I see Mama

And Baby Bear

Peeking at me

Through

Bushes

Amidst

The trees.

 

Awake, aware,

In awe

We stare.

 

Your sweet

Faces etched

In my internal

Flash drive.

 

You remind

Me how

Delightful it

Is to be alive.

 

I hear

Branches breaking

Ahead of us

Papa emerges

Large and lumbering

I wonder

If you’ll find

Those bees

Humming.

 

Tailgating

In the back

Of the Jeep

Mama and Baby

snack

It’s football

Season

Time to live

Off the beaten

Track.

 

Now peering in

Our porch window

I’m in the

Zoo.

For we are

In your woods

Of glorious leaves

and glistening dew.

 

Baby bear

Romps solo,

Poses,

Climbs steps

I smile,

Breathe,

Click photos

Look for

Mama

Nowhere in

Sight…yet!

 

Not in

Kansas anymore

With my little

Dog, too.

Childlike

Joy envelops

And holds

with glitter glue.

 

Gleeful and Giddy

Like

Grown-Up Goldilocks

Living in a

House of Joy

On this magical mountain

With her

Sexy Silver Fox.
