$500 Tip for a Pizza – Honoring Aaron Collins’ Last Wish

It’s about life.
Goodbye Planning Should Not Be Dismal!
Get on the band wagon with a full range of emotions when creating a goodbye celebration. Embrace it all! Sadness should not eclipse everything. Think about the gratitude for this life, the gift of time spent together, the likely wishes that the deceased doesn't want...
Role Reversal on Life Celebrations
I'm just revisiting this sentiment and realizing it hasn't lost its appeal! (Which as the writer of it, is encouraging.) Of course I'm a little biased, too. Being proactive about your own end-of-life plans is a game changer, you should definitely try it. Replace the...

Last Wishes… a WIN for everyone involved
Existential thoughts on death (you’ve been warned, lol)
So what's the best thing about death? Our favorite thing about it? Not absurd! Despite that probably being your first thought . The best thing about death is that we know it's going to happen. That is such a game-changer. (It really should be a game-definer, but we're...
