I help others write letters to the most important people in their lives. I call them Forever Letters.
What are Forever Letters?
Love-rich time capsules of language that preserve your voice, emotions and connection. Communication that matters.
Why letter-writing? Why now?
Letter-writing is not new, but it's a lost art... and a gateway to transformative, meaningful connection. We talk about net worth—assets, belongings, tangible owned things—but that’s not the whole story of what’s valuable. Emotions are intangible, but of supreme worth when it comes to life’s meaning. Letter-writing allows us to capture the emotions that give our lives meaning.

Meet Lindsay.
Your Writing Partner
Dear You,
In a world that's moving fast, communicating emotion has never been more important. Your love is the greatest asset of this life, and your written words are in more demand than you realize.
I help people with valuable relationships write what I call Forever Letters. These are letters that get saved because when it comes to net worth, these letters are treasure. Our written words have the power to ignite emotions, provide comfort, strengthen connection, heal pain and inspire hope.
As a lifelong letter writer, former English teacher and natural empath, this work is my honor and joy. Let's connect.

Memories are tricky—fading and changing with time—but words can be precisely preserved.
The Benefits of Letter-Writing:
Whether you are planning for end-of-life or wanting to capture some aspect of your lived experience, forever-letter-writing tends to be overwhelmingly positive, important, purposeful, relieving, and (surprisingly) joyful. You'll gain:
01
Closeness
Letter-writing is the practice of prioritizing meaningful connection. Research has proven that the key to a fulfilling life is having and maintaining strong relationships. Letter-writing is a direct and effective way to invest in your relationships. Prepare to discover a deeper, soul-level connection with your person once you've landed on actual words that explain your feelings. And the closeness magnifies after your loved one receives your letter.
02
Peace of mind
Inner calm is the result of knowing that your sentiments are thoughtfully expressed and securely preserved. Specifically for Legacy Letters, knowing that the aftermath of your death will be punctuated (for them) with your personal connection is a relief.
03
Gratitude + Joy
As you reflect on and articulate the substance of your most valued relationships, you will undoubtedly unearth many spots of gratitude and joy. Letter-writing is a profoundly joyful way to invest in the relationships for which you're most grateful.
Cultivating meaningful connection one letter at a time.

Can I read examples of your letter-writing?
I'm happy to share examples of letters I've written after we've connected on a Discovery Call. Because of the highly personal nature of my clients' letters, and my commitment to maintaining confidentiality, examples are restricted to my personal letters. My writing can be found on my Substack and YouTube channel.
Why leave a Legacy Letter?
The aftermath of death, for the grieving survivors, is largely administrative, and the focus is mostly on one kind of worth—one’s net worth: assets, estate, ownership, inheritance, etc. There's a huge gaping hole when it comes to personal worth: the value of who you’ve been, and how you’ve loved, and the worth of your unique parent-child relationship. Wills, by design, are void of emotion. And yet, emotions are, arguably, the most valuable part of human life.
Including a Foever Letter in your end-of-life planning, shines light on and honors a lifetime of parental love, devotion and connection. And it enables your voice and sentiments to guide your child through the process of estate administration after your death.
Will my Legacy Letter be included in my will?
Great question! You'd think it should be. The truth is that a love letter is not a legal matter. Lawyers must keep emotions out of the will entirely. Trust and estate plans and directives must be black and white; and emotions, by nature, live in the grays of life. After writing your Forever Letter, you can request that your lawyer keeps it as a "side letter" that gets delivered alongside the will. Or, alternatively, my recommendation is that you keep a distinct folder or fireproof safe at home that your next of kin knows to open at the time of your passing. Your Forever Letter can live there until it's read by the intended recipient.
I didn't know legacy letters was a thing. Is it?
Well, sort of. Ethical wills, also referred to as legacy letters, are a place to capture one’s personal values, beliefs, love, gratitude and apologies. And the practice of writing them has existed for millennia, but is an uncommon practice in the modern age of end-of-life preparations. But the practice of encapsulating one’s experience of parenthood in a direct love letter to one’s child is a practice that some think to do independently, but it's not protocol with will and estate planning. (Will & Estate Lawyers typically aren't interested in or equipped to handle the emotional side of death—I've asked many of them, and they're the first to say it.)
The term Forever Letter is one that I've coined, and my hope is to normalize love letter writing as part of end-of-life planning. To learn more, I describe the genesis of Forever Letters here. And I open up about my experience of writing Forever Letters to my three kids here.
If I have more than one child and want to write individual letters to each, how does pricing work ?
Each letter option outlines the price for (1) letter with one recipient. That's because each recipient of a Forever Letter requires their own 2-hour Zoom call to gather all the details of the relationship that are required to write the letter. For each requested sibling letter, clients receive a $100 discount on listed pricing.
