Real Talk With Time

A workbook from Mabel Rose Thompson

Everything your family will need — written down, in one place.

I'm 104 years old, and I've watched families tear a house apart looking for an insurance policy. I've watched a son sit in a hospital hallway at 2 a.m., asked to decide something terrible, with no idea what his mother would have wanted. The Just-In-Case Book is 132 pages that make certain your family never goes through that.

Why this matters

It isn't money that decides how a family gets through it.
It's whether somebody wrote things down.

In a hard week, these are the questions that come up — and the families who suffer most are the ones with no answers:

Every one of those has a page in this book.

What's inside

Six parts. Twenty-one sections. 132 pages.

This is a workbook, not a book you read once. Fill-in pages, forms, checklists and worksheets throughout — so when you're done, you have a finished document, not just good intentions.

Part One

Where Everything Is

The master information page, your people and professionals, accounts, policies, property, vehicles, your digital life and passwords, and a bills-and-subscriptions audit that pays for this book by itself.

Part Two

Your Health & Your Voice

Your medical record at a glance (with a refrigerator copy), a full medication log, the Hospital Protection Plan with the exact words to say, a hospital-bag checklist, and who speaks for you.

Part Three

Your Wishes

Care and comfort preferences, your service and farewell, notes for your obituary in your own words, and your special things — with a column for the story behind each one.

Part Four

Money & the Household

The monthly money picture, the Depression-era household system, the 30-day rule, and a full scam-protection section with warning signs, safe people, and a family code word.

Part Five

Your Story & Your Letters

Five full letter pages for the people you love, twelve life-story prompts so your history isn't lost, plus recipes, traditions, and the small wisdoms that disappear first.

Part Six

The Conversations

Word-for-word scripts for raising this with your family (including what to say when they brush it off), a family-meeting agenda, and the final checklist.

◆ My porch promise

Open it up and work through a section. If it doesn't give you and your family something worth far more than forty-seven dollars within 30 days, write to me and I'll give your money back, no fuss and no hard feelings. The risk is mine, not yours.

Before you ask

A few plain answers

Is this a legal document? Does it replace a will?
No — and I say so plainly throughout the book. The Just-In-Case Book organizes your information and helps you think through your wishes. It does not create a will, a trust, a power of attorney, or an advance directive. Take these pages to a qualified attorney where you live and have the proper documents prepared. This book will make that appointment far shorter and far cheaper, because you'll walk in with everything already gathered.
How do I get it after I pay?
Instantly. The download appears on the confirmation page and in your email the moment your payment goes through.
Can I print it?
Yes — and I hope you do. It's designed to be printed and written in by hand, in large, easy-to-read type. Print as many copies as you like for your own family.
Is it hard? I'm not good with computers.
It's a PDF, which is the simplest kind of file there is — it opens on any phone, tablet, or computer, and prints on any printer. And the book is written to be done one section a week, with a cup of tea. No rush.
Isn't this morbid?
I understand why it feels that way, but no. Doing this is not giving up and it doesn't invite anything. It's the most loving, practical thing you can do for your family — and most people tell me it makes them feel lighter than they have in years.
What if it's not for me?
You're covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Not happy? Write in and you'll get a full refund.

Pop your email in and I'll send you NOW, NOT SOMEDAY — my free 101-page book on love, time, and the only things that matter — plus a short note from the porch now and then. No nonsense, and you can step away anytime.

Don't leave them guessing.

One afternoon with a pen is the whole gift.
