About Us

Gwen Morgan, creator of the What if …Workbook©, has been involved with the elderly and hospice for a number of years, thus seeing the importance of being organized about personal affairs. She has personally experienced the positive and negative effects of good or bad planning.  Gwen is a trained facilitator for the CircleXChange, a wellness lifestyle program which brings people together in small groups to discuss and share life events, dealing with healthy maintenance of the mind, body and spirit, stress management, and life balance. The motto of the organization is ‘living life with clarity, passion, and purpose’; Gwen takes this motto to heart and tries to live her life with mindfulness and purpose, while helping others do the same through her workshops and personal relationships.

Always one to be highly organized, Gwen had the idea a number of years ago that it would be great to put together a workbook that could serve as a tool for end of life planning. This book would not only help the user keep track of their financial data, but it would address the more difficult issues of burial vs. cremation, what kind of service to hold (if any at all!), writing an obituary, and giving people the chance to think about special gifts to loved ones. Because of her CircleXChange experience, she also wanted to give users the opportunity to think about their legacy … how do I want to be remembered? am I living the life now that I want to be remembered for? if not, then what is holding me back? It is her belief that too many people go through their lives a bit unconsciously, just trying to get through each day rather than mindfully living each day to its fullest.

So the What if …Workbook© was created. Gwen realizes that there are other books and guides currently available dealing with similar issues. The difference of her book lies with the issue of accountability. She is currently bringing people in her area together in small groups for a series of 3 meetings to discuss the book. Knowing that a book of this sort can lay in ‘the pile’ on many desks and bookshelves, she holds her participants accountable for completing the book during their time together. She has met with outstanding feedback, and would now like to expand her market, while maintaining accountability and the group discussion format.
