The Kettle’s On… Will You Come Closer?
If you’ve just joined Kettle & Candle—or you’ve been quietly peeking around the edges—this is for you.
This space exists for people who know, deep down, that life is short… and want to live it wide.We talk about mortality, grief, advance care planning, and legacy—not to be morbid, but to be honest.
This is not a doom-and-gloom room. This is a candlelit table where we tell the truth, ask real questions, and make real plans.
Put the kettle on. You’re in the right place.
What we’re doing here
Inside this community, you’ll see:
- 365 – A Year To Live: A year-long journey into living fully by facing our mortality, one breath at a time.
- Live virtual gatherings & fireside chats. Real-time conversations where we share stories, questions, fears, and aha moments.
- Short, practical workshops, especially around advance care planning: medical/financial powers of attorney, end-of-life wishes, and how to actually talk to the people you love.
- Prompts, reflections, and shared resources. Small sparks to help you re-center on the day's life feels heavy—or beautifully fragile.
Some of you are here for the paperwork. Some of you are here for the soul work. Most of us will discover we need both.
How to jump in today (not “someday”)
Lurking is normal. Staying stuck there is optional. If you’re reading this, choose one action—today:
- Introduce yourself. In the comments below, tell us:
- Answer a gentle question. Pick one and answer in the comments:
- Raise your hand for support. If you’re overwhelmed by planning, grief, or “I don’t even know where to start,” just type: “I’m here, but I’m unsure.”That’s a perfectly honest place to begin.
You don’t have to be polished. You don’t have to have your life in order. You just have to be willing to take one small, human step.
What you can expect from me (and from us)
From me, you can expect:
- Clear teaching rooted in 45+ years of walking with people at the end of life
- Gentle but direct questions that nudge you out of “I’ll deal with it later.”
- Practical guidance on planning (with the reminder: I’m not your lawyer or doctor; I’ll always encourage you to talk with your own professionals)
From each other, we’re practicing:
- Listening more than fixing
- Curiosity over judgment
- Respect for privacy, pace, and lived experience
Your presence matters here
Every time you:
- Share even one sentence of your story
- Ask a question you’re afraid is “too basic.”
- Admit a fear you’ve carried alone
- Celebrate a small step (like finally filling out one document)
…you give someone else courage.
We’re re-learning something our culture forgot: Talking about death is not the end of life. It's often the beginning of living more honestly.
Your turn ✨
If you’ve read this far, don’t slip away quietly.
👉 In the comments, tell us:
- Where are you from
- What brought you here
- Which question above are you willing to answer today
You don’t have to say it perfectly. Just say it.
The kettle is on. The candle is lit. Come sit with us.
