There’s No Such Thing as Too Late

May 21, 2025

So Mary walks into a dinner party, she’s dressed in bright colors and wearing a fedora, and her energy is so powerful that everyone’s eyes at her table magnetically lock in on her as she approaches to take her seat. She proceeds to introduce herself like this: “Hi, I’m Mary, I’m 92 years old and I’m just gettin’ started”. And not one person at that table doubts this for even a second!

And so, if Mary, at 92 years young can have this mindset, “I’m just getting started,” can YOU?  This story about Mary was so profound for me that I started using it as a daily mantra, and it feels good, especially when I say it with a little swag, like I imagine Mary had. So I invite you to try it on as a morning mantra…..because it kind of is profound……you woke up another day, and according to the data, nearly 150,000 people around the world did not. So the reality is, you are just getttin’ started! You have been blessed with another day to co-create (with the divine) the greatest possibility of your life…….  cuz it’s a new dawn, it’s new day…. (uh-oh, did I just plagiarize a song, lol??) Actually, what if you could let the powerful lyrics sung so brilliantly by the amazing Nina Simone in this song be how YOU approach your precious days?

 

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah

 

 It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, ooh
And I'm feeling good

 

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel

 

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good



How’s that for a powerful mindset? I am actually, weirdly, imagining Mary belting out Ms. Nina’s song, lol. In all seriousness, each morning is an opportunity to start anew, an opportunity to be the person you were born to be, an opportunity to lay down the baggage, take the armor off, and use each morning as an opportunity to tune in, tune up, and tap into a higher vibration, or a beautiful state, if you will. Each day of our lives begins with us, intentionally, dusting off any negativity, so we are able to navigate towards more peace, love, and harmony.  There really is no such thing as too late!!  So I invite you to, perhaps, create a morning practice that aligns your mind-body-spirit in a way that has you feeling refreshed, renewed, and revitalized, which will, in turn, inspire others you encounter to do the same. It is a Win=Win! My hope is that you look out through time and visualize that you are right on time, and you realize it’s your time to be everything imaginable and that you give yourself permission to have the time of your life with this time of your life. XOXO, Liz
