In-Person Workshop Bundle Includes: My Book of Wishes Book + 2 hour In-person Workshop (see Calendar for Scheduled Dates)

These workshops are a tribute to my father and the proud legacy of military service that runs through several generations of my family. It’s my honor to give back to Veterans and their families through this meaningful work. His legacy lives on in this mission — helping others prepare with dignity, clarity, and peace of mind.

Join author C.J. Shearer for a lively and eye-opening 2-hour workshop as we dive into the heart of My Book of Wishes — a beautifully crafted, 140-page planner that brings clarity, peace of mind, and even a little humor to life’s most important (and often avoided) conversations.

This isn’t your average checklist — it’s a guided personal manual filled with essential information, heartfelt prompts, and helpful tools that will save you money and leave you wondering, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

Whether you're planning for yourself or preparing to help a loved one, this workshop walks you through each of the 12 thoughtfully organized, color-tabbed sections, covering everything from medical details to who gets grandma’s teapot.
