Live as if you're Going to Die.

One of the goals of Bcelebrated is to help people experience life as if they are going to die. Yes, the site enables people to document their life story, create private messages for people they love, prepare a notification system for the time of their death and make their last wishes known, but none of those are our "raison d'etre".


Our hope is that as people write about their lives, create messages for loved ones, and prepare for the end of their life, they will benefit from the reflection, be encouraged to live more inspired lives, and leave a legacy of hope and inspiration for others.

So what the heck do I tweet about, blog about, and tell our Facebook fans? I've gotten a lot of good advice regarding topics, but none of them feel like "it". Healthy eating, exercise, spirituality, sexuality, seniors issues, end of life ethics, and estate planning can all be discussed under the banner of Bcelebrated, as they all have to do with living and dying. But they don't capture the spirit of our intent. And besides I'm not an expert in any of them. In fact, I'm not an expert in anything.

Then my friend and mentor Margot Franssen said to me, "The world doesn't need another expert. What we need are advocates! And that's what you are ~ an advocate for living a deeper, more meaningful, spiritual life".

She's right. I'm an advocate for living fully and Bcelebrated is a vehicle to inspire that.

But... what do I tweet about? That question still haunts me. Stay tuned for the answer....
