It’s never too late: how one story can change everything

“Your timing is perfect and elegant.”

Words I first heard Regena Thomashauer say—but she was not the first to teach me this lesson. The lesson that it is never too late, and that your timing is always perfect, I got because of the grace of a brilliant woman who passed through my life like a comet, Trudy Morse.

I had no idea at the time who she was at the time, but most important was the legacy she left behind, changing my consciousness and path because of her amazing stories, generously shared over the scant few days that we spent together. A truly extraordinary woman, learn how a late-in-life decision changed the trajectory of Trudy’s life forever—and how her stories changed the trajectory of mine.

It is never too late. Never too late to start something new, change careers, discover a new passion, plunge into a relationship, or start all over again. Your timing is perfect and elegant. “It’s too late” is a story we tell ourselves when we are afraid to do what we’re being called to do. So, with that limiting belief out of the way… Now, what do you want to do?

p.s. In an interview of Trudy Morse that I discovered while putting these show notes together, I actually learned more details about how she and Sun Ra met (see Resources below).
