Before I go, you should know…

Check this out from the Wall Street Journal, it’s a great article about  – The 25 Documents You Need Before You Die 

The article includes this rad infographic…

If you want to take it to the next level, you may like if i die.org, which gives you a way to write notes that will only be delivered if you die.

The service is free, easy to use, and completely secure. Use this website to leave instructions for what to do with your pets and journals, to write letters to the people you care about, or for anything else you want. It’s not as morbid or scary as you think; it’s an easy way to be prepared just in case something totally unexpected happens.

What sort of notes can I write?

This is really up to you, but here are some ideas:

• A letter to a friend– to say something personal.
• Simple instructions– whether or not to read your journal, what to do with your cat, where your documents are kept.
• Passwords– how to log into your computer, how to access your address book.
• An informal will– so your next of kin knows what to do with your stuff.

Now – take action. Start with doing ONE THING in the next week, and keep going till you’ve got peace of mind.

Share your story about planning and getting things in order, it will inspire others to do the same.

With love and respect,
