What does a mother do who has raised her child, lives six hours from "home", decides not to go here and go there just to be going here and going there? One listens to music that pumps you up, types a blog post, works on the Black Folder Project Workshop details, prepares encouraging crafts for baby boomers and teenagers, dreams a new dream and realizes life is as good as you make it.

Welcome to the Black Folder Project™
Since 2001 I have had a Black Folder.
Why A Black Folder?
Adding Letters in the Black Folder
I gathered things together like my Last Will and Testament and Life Insurance Policies for my only son. I had many of these documents scattered throughout my files and I just decided to put them in one place. When I was organizing I happened to find a black folder and decided to put the documents in that black folder.
My son was not quite an adult at that time. I thought the easiest way for him to remember where to look for these important documents was to tell him that no matter what to look for a black folder. There he would find what he needed to take care of business and carry on.

Adding Letters in the Black Folder
Over the years I decided that just having the legal documents in this folder was not enough and I should at least write him a note. I was doing a lot of traveling for work at that time. Almost annually I would write him a letter. (There were some years that I forgot, or maybe I just was feeling invincible and confident that this wasn't going to be my year, and the previous letters would suffice).
