Start today If you were not here tomorrow, what is the most important thing you would not want left unsaid? Write it down - now you've begun. Relax You are not trying to write for the Pulitzer Prize. The letter is a gift of yourself, written for those you love, not for an imaginary panel passing judgment on your life or your writing. Ask yourself What do I want to make sure my loved ones know and have in writing? Take it topic by topic Don't try to write it all at once. Be yourself You cannot bequeath what you never owned to begin with. Be careful Be loving. The reach of this letter is unknowable. Share it! Let all parties enjoy the benefits of fuller communication in the present.  |
