These are the things I want to take with me…

That I was loved
That I will be missed
That I mattered
That my story will be told
That someone (or many someone’s) felt loved by me and they were thankful for that…

And although it will be hard for me to hear “goodbye,” I want to be sure that the people I love most have a chance to say it.

My last “Best Three Months” class of the year starts on October 5th, at 9 AM Pacific Time. This class goes for seven weeks, one day a week, for an hour. At the end of the seven weeks you will have a good portion of your end-of-life plan in place.

My hope is that you will also find yourself inspired to live your life, for however long you are gifted, with a little more excitement, passion, and joy.

You will go deep, you’ll have to think about things that might be a little uncomfortable, but I guarantee you that you will find it to be worth it. I have worked really hard to create a class that is packed full with more than you are prepared to take with you. In a good way!!

There are only a few spots left.
I am still offering a two-for-one deal, which means if you sign up, you can sign up a family member, friend, or coworker that you want to share this experience with, and I will only charge you for one person.

If you will be sharing this class with another person, please indicate their name and email when you sign up.

I look forward to seeing you there and going on this journey with you.

I was having a conversation with my granddaughter recently, telling her a story about my mom, who had died way before she was born. She said to me, “you have a mom?” I realized that I rarely talk about her, and never told my granddaughters about her. When my mom died, in many ways so did her story, and I regret that.

I had a difficult relationship with my mom, but there are things about her that I see in myself that I love. And when I dance down the isles at the grocery store, or sew something beautiful on my sewing machine, or appreciate music, good food or laughter with friends, I am reminded of her each time.

When I sit at the bedside with a woman who is about to say goodbye to her mom, I am taken back every single time to the moment in my life when I said goodbye to mine. My memories resurface, and with time the anger and disappointment has faded and all I feel is a bit of sadness because I miss her and what we could’ve had. I stopped telling her story a very long time ago, and I want to change that.

Be the person that keeps the story going for the person you love who has died, make sure everyone knows who they were, what mattered most to them, what they might have accomplished, and what gifts they left with you.

If you keep telling their story, it might just keep being told long after you have died… and hopefully those who love you will do the same for you. But they need to know your story in order to tell it… now is a good time to start telling yours too.
