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.

Morning Musings – 90 Days of Inspiration: Day 85

BY Eileen Bild

Beat to Your Own Drum

Who…
Is to say how you
Live your life?

Without…
The uniqueness of
Each one of us,
The world would
Be too boring.

Yet…
We continue to
Find fault with those
Who are different.

The…
Irony of it all, is
We are all DIFFERENT!

So…
Beat to your own
Drum.

Dance….
In the rain,
Create art,
Develop a new idea,
Sing your song!

You…
Matter!
Your spirit, your soul
Is forever alive.
To embrace the spark
Wanting to burst from inside.

Be…
Strong, courageous and
Brave.
You know what inspires
And motivates
The very core of who
You are.

Be…
Mindful of the
Winding roads.
You are the traveler
Walking alone.

Sit…
By the tree, a stream
Or a river.
Soak in the sun’s rays,
Rediscover.

The…
Magic of life, the breath
Of you.

In…
The end it is
Your efforts, desires
And steppingstones
That allow you to have
Won.

Now…
Is the time.
Beat to your own drum.
