Hey this is cool!

Thirty days ago I opened a LifeSpot account because my sister would not stop nagging me about it.
Here is where I stand tonight. I know where every asset sits. Every insurance renewal is on my calendar. Twenty-one people hold access to the pieces that concern them — my wife has the medical directives, my attorney has the trust, my CPA has what he needs at tax time — and I set every one of those permissions myself.
I checked those permissions every single day for twelve days straight. Not one of them quietly disappeared. I want to be specific about that, because it is the whole thing. Anybody can build a place to put documents. The question is whether the access you set up on an ordinary Tuesday still works on the day your family actually needs it.
The part I did not expect: I have had more real conversations with my family through this platform in a month than through email in the last five years. Turns out when the practical things are handled, you have room left over for the other things.
I spent a career being told what a product would do for me. I am more interested in what it still does when nobody is watching.
Judi — you were right. I am saying it publicly so you can screenshot it.
Everybody else — try it.

Twenty-nine days in. I will write the real reflection tomorrow.
Tonight I will just say this. I have been sold a lot of technology over the years. Most of it added something to my day that I did not ask for — another login, another feed, another thing to keep up with.
This is the first digital tool in a decade that made my life feel more organized instead of more crowded. My deeds, my policies, the trust, the accounts — they sit in one place, and the people who will need them can reach the ones that concern them.
That is a quiet thing. It does not make noise. But my mother is in Wilmington and my kids are in three states, and quiet is exactly what you want from the thing that has to work on the worst day.

Twenty-eight days ago I put the whole estate in one place. Deeds, the trust, the policies, the will, the accounts. All of it.
Here's what I actually care about. My mother is in Wilmington. My kids are grown and spread across three states. If something happens to me on a Tuesday, none of them should spend the next year hunting through a filing cabinet in Charlotte for a document they didn't know existed.
Twenty-one people now have access to the pieces that concern them. Eighty-six separate grants. I have checked every one of them every day for ten days straight and not one has quietly gone missing. That sounds like a small thing. It isn't. The entire promise of a product like this is that the access you set up on a good day still works on the worst day your family will ever have.
I spent a career around people who told you what they were going to do. I got more interested in what still holds up when nobody is watching.
This holds up.

Foundation funded 12 new college scholarships this week — first-generation students from Charlotte and Wilmington.
My mom retired teaching after 38 years in the classroom. She's the reason we do this. She's the reason we can.
