What I Want You to Know

A Guided Workbook for Writing the Letters, Telling the Stories, and Saying the Things Before You Can't

The things you mean to say have a deadline you cannot see.

This is for:

For the person who has wanted to write letters to the people they love — and keeps not doing it: because life is full, because it feels like a formal thing, because they do not know where to begin.

You'll produce:your Your Legacy Letter Collection

The Name It First Experience

There are things you want the people you love to know. You have thought about saying them. You have not written them down. This workbook gives you structure for finally doing it. You will write letters — to your children, to the people who raised you, to a partner, to anyone who deserves what you have been meaning to say. Not because you are dying, but because the things you mean to say have a deadline and you do not know what it is. The prompts are specific. The space is yours. You produce Your Legacy Letter Collection — finished, signed letters to the people who matter most. The output is not preparation for an ending. It is the gift you give while you can still give it.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What have you been meaning to say — and what has made it hard to say it?
  2. What stories or truths do you want the people you love to carry after you?
  3. What would it mean to say the things while there is still time?
