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.

Transform Your Day with This Simple Morning Ritual

Hello, lovely souls!

As we begin another week, I want to share a simple yet powerful practice that can transform the quality of your day. Imagine starting each morning with a sense of purpose, calm, and joy—this is the magic that mindful intention can bring into your life.

Every morning, I wake up with the anticipation of enjoying a delicious cup of coffee in the quiet stillness before the world stirs awake. It’s this small yet delightful experience that motivates me to get out of bed. I’m fortunate to have a coffee pot that brews my coffee automatically, so I’m greeted with the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee as soon as I come downstairs. It’s my personal morning ritual, and I even sing the Folger’s jingle, “The best part of waking up…,” as I head to the kitchen.

However, I understand that not everyone wakes up with the same excitement. Many of us, due to our natural human tendency to focus on fears or dislikes, might feel a sense of trepidation as we start our day. This can unintentionally send a message of unease into our future, affecting the quality of our day.

But here’s the beautiful truth: despite the busyness and challenges of our lives, there is an abundance of joy and experiences worth savoring. By starting each day with a positive intention, we can attract more of this natural bliss into our lives. It doesn’t have to be anything grandiose celebrating the warmth of your morning coffee or the stillness of the dawn can be enough. Remember, we get stronger and better at the things we practice the most, so be patient with yourself as you develop this habit. If you find it difficult, I’m here to share tips and tricks that have helped my clients, call me.

When you send positive intentions ahead of your day, you create a momentum that manifests in your personal and professional relationships, your work, and your overall interaction with the world. Anxiety softens, and a sense of peace and purpose takes its place.

So, I encourage you, each morning, when you first awaken, take several deep, grounding breaths and reaffirm a positive intention to set the tone for your day. Quietly bless your day with words like, “May my day be filled with purpose, passion, productivity, and peace of mind.” Feel these words, think them deeply, and if you’re a visual person, imagine yourself as a light-filled being illuminating everything and everyone you encounter. If you commute to work, visualize your car and journey being paved with golden light, ensuring a safe and smooth commute. Extend this light to your workplace, infusing it with your positive intention.

Then, watch how your day unfolds. Enjoy the miracle moments that arise from this practice.

I would love to hear how this simple exercise changes your experience. Share your miracle moments with me—it truly feeds my soul to hear from you.

Remember, I am always here to support you. It is my passion and purpose to help you experience days filled with positivity, regardless of the challenges you face. If you need assistance with releasing pesky habits and rewiring your brain for more peace of mind and productivity, please reach out. I genuinely want to help.

Send positive intentions out into your day ahead and live mindfully aware of the miracle moments. Acknowledge and notice them, as this attention brings more appreciation into your experience. It’s a fact: the more attention we give to something, the more it expands.
