Shelby the Advance Planning Professional

Today, on All Souls’ Day, I am remembering those we love and miss, especially my Mother, my Sister and my son Christopher.

Loss has made remembering deeply personal for me. Sometimes it is a photograph, a familiar song, or wishing I could hear their voice just one more time. I am grateful for the memories, even when they come with tears.

My work at Advance Planning Professionals is about families, and I carry my own family’s experiences into that work. Behind every conversation about planning and legacy is someone deeply loved.
If you are missing someone today, my heart is with you. May God bring you comfort, and may the stories you share keep their memory close.

You are welcome to share their name below.

With love,
Shelby

💙💛 **REVIEW BEFORE YOU RENEW!** 💛💙

**Do you have Medicare? What about your parents, grandparents, or other family members?**

I would love the opportunity to help you and the people you care about review their Medicare coverage for 2027.

Medicare plans can change from year to year, and the plan that worked well this year may not be the best fit next year.

**Before you decide to keep your current plan, let's take a look together!**

During your Medicare review, we can:

✅ Review your current coverage and benefits.

✅ Check whether your doctors and prescriptions are still covered.

✅ Compare plan costs, including premiums, copays, and out-of-pocket expenses.

✅ Explore other available Medicare plan options.

✅ Determine whether keeping your current plan makes sense for you.

And here's something important: You don't have to change plans just because we're reviewing them! Sometimes the best decision is to stay right where you are. My goal is to help you make an informed decision.

🗓️ Medicare Annual Enrollment Period: October 15 – December 7, 2026

If you have a parent, grandparent, friend, or family member who could benefit from a Medicare review, please share this post with them.

I would appreciate the opportunity to earn their trust and help them understand their options.

💙 Let's review today so you can renew with confidence!

If you had to fight cancer, would you rather do it WITH or WITHOUT MONEY?

I think we can all agree that we'd rather have the money.
But here's the question I really want you to think about…
WHOSE MONEY WOULD YOU RATHER USE? YOURS OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S?

A cancer diagnosis can change your life in an instant. And while your focus should be on your health, treatment, and recovery, the financial responsibilities of everyday life don't stop.

The mortgage or rent is still due. The car payment doesn't go away. Groceries, utilities, transportation to appointments, and all the other expenses of living continue.

And even with good health insurance, there may be expenses that your medical coverage doesn't pay.

That's why I encourage individuals and families to have a conversation about cancer insurance and supplemental protection BEFORE they need it.

Depending on the policy, cancer coverage may provide cash benefits that you can use to help with expenses during treatment and recovery.

It's not about expecting the worst. It's about making sure you have options if life takes an unexpected turn.

So let me ask you again: WHOSE MONEY?

Would you rather depend entirely on your savings, or have an insurance policy that could help shoulder some of the financial burden?

Don't wait until a diagnosis to find out what your options are. Let's have that conversation TODAY!

📞 Call me at 901-256-8485, or click my scheduling link in the comments to set up a time for us to talk. https://calendly.com/meetshelby

There's no obligation. Just a conversation about protecting yourself and the people you love.

🙏 PRAY FOR THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭

Today, I am asking for prayers for the people of the Philippines following the recent earthquake that has impacted families, communities, and livelihoods.

For me, this is especially personal. I am from the Philippines although I now call Tennessee home, the Philippines will always hold a special place in my heart. Seeing the images and hearing the stories coming from those affected reminds me that many families are facing uncertainty, loss, and the difficult road to recovery.

As a community of faith, let us come together to lift up the people of the Philippines in prayer.

Please pray for:
🙏 The safety and recovery of those affected
🙏 Comfort for families who have lost loved ones
🙏 Healing for the injured
🙏 Protection and strength for rescue workers and first responders
🙏 Resources for rebuilding homes and communities
🙏 Peace, hope, and resilience in the days ahead

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3

If you have family, friends, or loved ones in the Philippines, know that you are not alone. We stand with you in prayer and support.

From my heart to theirs, thank you for joining me in praying for the beautiful people of the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️
