This is not just a collection of where your life insurance policy is or the deed to the house.  It’s much more than that – it’s the details of your life that only you know – like the home safe in the way-back of the closet, or the keys to the storage facility (and where the facility is) that has some old antiques you’ve wanted to keep for the grandchildren.

For the entrepreneur and the business executive it can include records on where vital documents are stored at work.

When you finish with My Family Record Book, you will have created your very OWN Family Record Book.  It will be fun (yes, fun!), and it will enable you to have a conversation with your family that will be less painful – and more peaceful.

And – listen to this – you will be able to put your hands on any piece of paper or document in your house within 15 minutes.  I know – because that is what so many people tell me they are now able to do.  And THAT, my friends, is peace of mind.

I wrote this book to allow me to have peace of mind. And to help you have that, too.

When I retired some years ago, I had newly-found time. When people asked, “So how do you keep busy these days?” I told them of my project: writing an informational guide for my wife. For the past few decades, my wife and I have done our best to protect each other and provide a good life for ourselves, our family, and our community. As it turns out, she is the social director, cook extraordinaire, arbiter of good taste, and, of course, my best friend.

My roles? The keeper of the records, the one who handles our finances, and the one who maintains our house, including its appliances. And a happy and rewarding relationship it is.

But I started thinking, who will handle all these things if I weren’t around? How would my wife and children know about the health insurance, service contracts for household things, unpaid and paid bills, and right on down the line to what items I want my children to have, the treasures we may have in art and collectibles.

From the sublime to the critically important – we can have peace of mind in knowing a completed Record Book will give that peace of mind to those we love, too.
