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.

Stars Blink Out On History

Years have tumbled to a hidden mass; beneath is found a mound of broken glass.

Dreams squandered now to a distant shore; rotten fruit is found from skin to core.

Laughter sinks with melting sun; bitter secrets told to no one.

I watched you edge to fame and rhyme; I sat upon the ledge of thinning dime.

Jealousy was too weak to come forward; I only wanted a chance to share my last word.

For who I am, is nothing, if you do not listen; for crystal will shatter on my final mission.

Fingers have curled to painful submission; ticket has burned from dancing admission.

I’ll look for you from the balcony; as stars blink out on history.

Goodbye shall not be, so bittersweet; you flew away and I kept to the street.

We all shall shape our destiny; Logic doesn’t mix with mystery. 

I have no map for things to come; I only know I’ll melt as I watch you run.

My Poetry, Photography, and Journals hold treasure from grade school to high school to adult school, which I'm still attending ... just waiting for the final grade. Each layer of life reveals a new truth and with age, it becomes apparent that time is my greatest rival. My hope is to reflect with words and pictures that offer comfort, insight, and wisdom for a life well-lived with peace and tranquility in the end.
