Action Item - Start Writing Your Letter of Intent
Some people get overwhelmed with the idea of getting their affairs inorder and as a result find it easier to do nothing. To help peoplewith that inertia, I'll be posting weekly Action Items - little stepsthat take an hour or less that will move you forward in the process andmake it less daunting.
You know the importance of having a letter of intent for your child with special needs, but maybe you've been putting it off, maybe you didn't know where to start, maybe you thought it would take too long, or be emotionally difficult or any number of other "good reasons" you had for putting it off.
Well, here's your chance to get started. Set a kitchen timer for 50 minutes (or 2 sessions of 25 minutes) to start the letter. Clear some space on the table, and write. It doesn't have to be perfect the first time out, and you can keep a running list of questions and issues that need follow up, but imagine how good it will feel to have it started. The link above will bring you to some examples if you need help getting started.
