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.

Tap the Thoughts, Tap the Times

Tap Tap Tap
Those soft strains of music beckon
to remind my heart
of Christmas moments spent here or apart.

What do I remember most about the holidays
from birth to last?
Living in the moment from my cherished past.
I recall special days of love and grace.
Waking to see a baby doll face.

The ribbons and bows and antique lace.
The earthen glow about the place.
Ruby red flowers in a vase.
Fragrance and laughter too thick to erase.

Music reverberates with echoes of base.
Children’s laughter at grown-up chase.
Wonderful, magical crystal chandeliers
– oh wait!
Those are icicles dripping of tears.
Snowflakes tumble from the sky.
Peach and Apple, Pumpkin Pie.

Journey within or travel about.
Meaning runs deep – no reason, no doubt.

Castles of snow, rivers of light.
Magnificent memories from dawn until night.

When the music box winds to the
end of the rhymes,
May I still
Tap the Thoughts and Tap the Times.

Merry Christmas one and all
Tap Tap Tap with Love

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.
