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.

The Journey

It has taken many years, lost
and flowing through dark shapes,
bending rivers, clouds of feelings,

endless traveling through gray fields,
and flying into cold, white moonlight,
never arriving anywhere.

Finally, giving up and letting go
of everything, I found myself floating
in stillness

without thought
or feeling
the way it was before I was born

not bound to anything.
Aah

I've loved reading poetry since I was a teen.  It sparked and inspired me.  I began writing poetry when I was seventeen, and  I went to college and received a BA in art.  Writing poetry is central to my life.  It helps me stay in touch with my heart and soul.  I often write about various dimensions of the heart and soul as well as spirituality, consciousness, nature, and about the connection of breath to soul.  I am the author of three books that can be viewed on my website.  I won the Chiron Review Chapbook Contest in 2000 for My G-Rated Life.  It has been great fun teaching classes on creativity and poetry at the Columbus Cultural Arts Center as well as at various bookstores in the community.  Working with people as a Certified Hypnotherapist, Psychic, and Animal Communicator is rewarding.  Of course, all of these areas of my work spill over into the poetry that I create. I hope that people can hear the breath and music in my poetry.  My intention is to open peoples’ hearts and to help them get connected to their souls.
