Yes Helene, I am a late bloomer!

From Helene Blowers the creator of this program:

"The “23 Things” is designed for these late bloomers. So when it comes to setting a timeline for your own version of the exercise, it’s important to remember that your primary target audience is not going to jump in immediately. In fact, they probably won’t jump in at all until much later, waiting until the fourth, fifth, or even sixth week into the program..."

"Consider adding extra weeks, even a month, to the nine-week schedule and extend it out to 12 weeks or more. This will build in time to accommodate those participants who might have fallen behind—frequently due to time constraints—as well as the reluctant ones who decided to join well after the program’s start date. Tailor your initiative for late bloomers, for they are truly the ones who need the exposure to these tools"

Yes, Helene, you've got my number -- I am definitely one of these late bloomers-- I'd be that mum that doesn't bloom until the fall compared to the young whipper snappers that are trying to bloom peaking out from under the snow in January!
