Real Talk With Time
A free book from Mabel Rose Thompson
I'm 104. Here's what I'd tell you if we had one afternoon on the porch.
My book, NOW, NOT SOMEDAY —
everything a long life taught me about love,
time, and the only things that ever really
mattered. It's yours, free. Just tell me where
to send it.
It's free, and it'll stay free. I'll send the book and a short note from the porch now and then. You can step away anytime.
WHAT'S WAITING INSIDE
A little book you'll finish — and then act on
Why "someday" is the most expensive word you'll ever say
What 68 years married to one good man taught me about love
How to set a grudge down before it sets you down
The small daily reason that still gets me out of bed at 104
And the one thing I wish someone had told me at your age
A NOTE FROM MABEL
I waited too long to learn this. You don't have to.
I spent the better part of a century learning these things the hard way — burying people I loved, holding grudges I should have dropped, and waiting on a "someday" I finally understood was never coming.
So I wrote it all down. Not to be admired and shelved, but to be used — read slow, argued with, and then acted on, while you still have the time I'd give anything for more of.

Completely. No card, no catch. My gift to you.

Instantly. The book lands in your inbox the moment you sign up — read it on your phone, tablet, computer, or print it on plain paper.
What if I change my mind?
You can step away anytime, with one click at the bottom of any letter. No hard feelings.
Don't wait for someday.
Someday was never on the calendar.
Now go on and read it. And then go call your mama.
