Take Heart, Late Bloomers

I have respect for wisdom and maturity regardless of the biological age of your container.

However, I want you to consider the idea of ripening.

And cooking.

Similar. But different.

Ripening … going from seed to seedling, from bud to full bloom, from green to ripe.

Cooking … going from raw, inedible to scrumptiously digestible, even irresistibly more-ish.

I use these terms interchangeably, based on my own experience of developing my work.

A lot of my ideas come rapidly … but then linger.

Some advisers would have you release them as soon as they emerge … striking the iron while it’s hot they call it.

But you sense a hesitancy within you … you wait, and sit on your ideas awhile. You don’t feel quite ready to turn them loose into the world. Resistance? Possibly. But you may also be experiencing good stewardship by not releasing your work too rapidly.

With the benefit of hindsight, I am so grateful that I’ve simmered my work, sometimes for years, if not decades.

Often it was not the work itself that needed simmering, but either the context, or my own mindset. I could not have stepped out as The Lady Odin earlier than mid-2019. That was when I was alchemised into a new level.

In your own life, you will experience it as ...

There is no formula. There is only willingness, aka surrender, to being used as a vessel for your higher purpose.

You will NEVER miss the boat because of your age. Dedicate yourself now to your highest purpose.

If you don't know what it is ... easy.

Begin where you THINK it is, and further clarity will come as you are taking action.

I enjoy on-point conversations, and I'm quite willing to dig deeper on this topic.

Let me know what isn't clear or that I haven't addressed ... either at all, or to a satisfactory degree.

Be as personal or as general as you feel comfortable being. But be aware that in order to infuse more power into this package, I will likely use your query to help other participants as well.

Your questions and comments will help me to make this a stronger and more useful package.
