A Legacy Letter Is the Gift of Your Voice.

It’s a personal letter where you share what matters most — love, wisdom, and truth — with the people who need to hear it. A message they’ll return to again and again.

​​

Your Legacy Letter is a piece of you — your heart, your stories, and your love preserved for the moments they’ll need it most.

​​

​

In 90 minutes with Blake Brewer, you’ll learn how to put what matters most into words — so your family will always hear your voice.

Join the Legacy Letter Experience!

You're invited to a meaningful online experience that will guide you to do something most people never take the time to do—write a Legacy Letter your loved ones will cherish forever.

 

You'll be led step-by-step through the process of beginning a letter that communicates your love, values, and encouragement—something that will outlast you and speak for you when you no longer can.

 

Whether you're a parent, a grandparent, or someone who simply wants to leave a lasting impact on the people you care about, this workshop will give you the clarity and tools to begin writing the most important letter of your life.

 

​

What if your most important words were never heard?

You love your children deeply. But between the chaos of everyday life and the noise of the world, it’s easy for your most meaningful thoughts to stay trapped in your heart—never fully expressed.


Meanwhile, your children are constantly bombarded with messages about who they are and what they should value.


If your voice isn’t the loudest in their life… someone else’s will be.


A Legacy Letter gives your words a permanent place in their story — a letter that speaks louder and lasts longer than the noise around them.

I Personally Know the Power of One Letter..

When I was 19 my parents took the family on an amazing trip to Hawaii. On the first day, my dad and I went out snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

 

We were having an unbelievable time when, all of a sudden, we got caught up in a rough spot known as Witches Brew.

My father started yelling for help and before I knew it, he was under water. I tried to save him, but I couldn't overpower the water, and he died in my arms.

 

It went from being one of the best days of my life to the worst.

 

A few hours later, we were back in the condo and I was trying to make sense of what just happened.  At that moment my mother came into the room and handed me a "gift" from my dad.

​

I had no idea at the time, but my dad had just finished working on a letter for me and my siblings that he had been working on for several months.

 

The words in this letter were exactly what I needed at that time in my life and 19 years later his words and his voice are still leading me and guiding me.

This is why I started Legacy Letter ... because my dad's letter changed my life, and I want to help you write a letter that'll change your kids' lives (and yours, if you let it).

It’s More Than a Letter. It’s a Moment That Lasts.

 One letter can bring healing, connection, and clarity — creating a ripple that reaches far beyond the page

​

For the writer, it’s a chance to reflect, speak freely, and leave nothing unsaid.

​

For the reader, it becomes a lifelong anchor—a reminder of who they are and who they’re becoming.

“My daughter told me she keeps the letter in her nightstand. She reads it when she’s feeling unsure about herself. I had no idea how much it would mean.”

Good intentions are useless.  When Blake introduced me to the Legacy Letter it allowed me - through his well thought out framework - to share my thoughts in a very succinct manner that made sense. 

Now my girls see how much they mean to me and they no longer have to guess. 

Thank you Blake.

I went through Blake's process and what an amazing experience it was. I found myself closer to my son, my feelings for him, and the fact that now I have this special letter that he can carry with him for the rest of his life. Not only is this such a good thing for a dad to do, I think it is a must!

Blake has gathered some of the tried tested insights from letter writing that I have used over the past 32 years, working with men in prison to those at the highest political and corporate levels... 


But what makes Blake unique is that he has honed and focused those insights into a course that helps dads as they leave a legacy.

I am very grateful for Blake and the Legacy Letter Challenge. Blake helped me craft a letter that expressed to my girls how I feel about them along with some good life advice.  

I loved be able to give the letters to my girls on each of their birthdays.

As a former English teacher, I appreciated the specific steps to the outline, and Blake’s explanations and examples for each section. The event was well attended, and I’m excited to see how Legacy Letters impacts our city in a positive way."

"More than anything, I'm still feeling very emotional. I'm going to write a letter to my dad, plus the other members of my family, and I'll see if I can get my husband to do one of these sessions. I see a beautiful opportunity to share a really, really powerful message.

​

Blake has given me such a gift today. And I just wanted to say thank you. I've found the Legacy Letter workshop a beautiful couple of hours. Thank you.
