An “ethical will” is a document that tells your loved one(s) what you want them to know or be. It gives you a chance to give blessings to your loved ones and leave them with your life lessons. It can be anything from a letter, a memoir, artwork, or even a video that lets you express what you see your authentic legacy to be.  It can provide a personal history and messages to loved ones about the values we hope they will carry on.  

Write your ethical will. What values and ideas do you want to pass on to your loved ones? What life lessons have you learned that you would like to share?
