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.

The Stalls In Life

Stalls in Life! So very frustrating. But wait… Let’s think with some common sense for just a second, here!

Like a vehicle that “stalls out” just when we need to get somewhere really fast! Or, just when the rain and wind are howling right outside the car door, and the stupid dashboard lights start blinking in orange and red colors! What the heck?

Wait, let’s breathe deeply and meditate on this situation for a minute or two.

Stalls in Life are as annoying as a barking dog in the night when nothing is happening in the neighborhood!

So, what are we to do in managing the stalls of life when we are just roaring-ready to simply “get on” with the living, and the loving, and destiny purposes of life?

Oh, my goodness, someone please take my blood pressure right about now! That request is because I am so ready to just “get on” with the destiny purposes of life. After all, there are only so many years remaining, right? Do you feel it, too?

Okay, let’s talk wisdom right here. What if there is more at work in all of this ridiculous scenario of life and living in the real world that includes all of these crazy stalls in Life?

▶︎ What if all that is “seen” is not the entire picture of purpose?

▶︎ What if all that is wrapped up in the feelings of the stalls in life is not all that matters in the greater plan and eternal scheme for each person who is involved in the matter?

▶︎ What if all the sounds that are “chirpin’ in the winds of the air” are not the whole story in its proper context?

Oh, Mr. Smith or Mrs. Smith, be very, very careful in your tendency to judge and comment with your diagnosis about things that you “know not” the full facts about. Tisk, Tisk. You will be revealed in your foolishness when the entire picture of facts and reality about The Stalls of Life are fully revealed. Oh, yea, did you know that facts and reality equal TRUTH.? Like, THE. Truth.

What if we ALL demonstrated a little restraint; a little wisdom; a little patience, a little love; a little kindness in recognizing the Stalls of Life? Maybe they are all about creating a greater WORK; a greater LIFE PURPOSE; a greater REALIZATION that all is not seen, felt or heard in the natural, immediate world.

Maybe, just maybe, there is some “other-world” purpose being accomplished in the ever annoying, oh so irritating Stalls in Life!

Oh, just relax and breathe: we are only talking about that inconvenient car that stalls at the craziest moments of life! Right?
