They have also delivered over £10,000 worth of sessions, for free, to NHS Trusts and Charities.

Why have a revocable trust?
in Legal
A revocable trust can have many advantages versus just having a simple will. While many are predisposed to want a simple will, the truth is that a simple will result in all assets passing through the probate court. The probate court can be a slow, cumbersome, and costly process. On the other hand, having a revocable trust can create a more straightforward, faster, and less costly process in the long run. To find out more on this topic, you can read our article on Family Law Headquarters titled: What's the Advantage of a Revocable Trust? You can also call our Estate Planning Attorneys at 855-805-0595 or reach out to our trust attorneys in Chicago, Illinois and elsewhere online.

Amy Weinland Daughters - Unveiling Deep Connections
in Business
Dear Dana: That Time I Went Crazy and Wrote All 580 of My Facebook Friends a Handwritten Letter
When Amy Daughters reconnected with her old pal Dana on Facebook, she had no idea how it would change her life. Though the two women hadn’t had any contact in 30 years, it didn’t take them long to catch up—and when Amy learned that Dana’s son Parker was doing a second stint at St. Jude battling cancer, she was suddenly inspired to begin writing the pair weekly letters.
When Parker died, Amy—not knowing what else to do—continued to write Dana. Eventually, Dana wrote back, and the two became pen pals, sharing things through the mail that they had never shared before. The richness of the experience left Amy wondering something: If my life could be so changed by someone I considered “just a Facebook friend”, what would happen if I wrote all my Facebook friends a letter?
A whopping 580 handwritten letters later Amy’s life, and most of all her heart, would never ever be the same again.
Unveiling Deep Connections: Transform Your World with Hand-Written Letters
Amy Weinland Daughters, Award-Winning Author and Keynote Speaker, believes in a world where what makes us different is the very thing that connects us, instead of separates us. Find Amy online: Website | Facebook | Amazon | Instagram | LinkedIn | Twitter
