Start with the End in Mind—And Open Up Your Life

There’s a quiet magic that happens when we start thinking about the end of our lives—not with fear or avoidance, but with curiosity and care.

Too often, end-of-life planning is treated as something to put off until it’s urgent. But waiting until a crisis means we miss the opportunity to approach these decisions with thoughtfulness, creativity, and even joy. When we choose to engage with this part of life before we have to, something beautiful happens: we start living with more clarity.

What do I value most?
Who do I want to be surrounded by?
How do I want to be remembered?

These are big questions. And they don’t just shape our final days—they shape the days we’re living right now.

Planning ahead allows us to let go of uncertainty and bring ease to those we love. It also gives us a chance to express ourselves—to tell our stories, share our wishes, and reflect on what makes life meaningful.

End-of-life planning doesn’t have to be morbid or overwhelming. It can be deeply life-affirming. You don’t need a crisis to get started. You just need a little space, some good guidance, and the willingness to explore what truly matters.

Let’s normalize talking about the end—not to dwell in it, but to live more fully, freely, and authentically.
