Don’t rush the timing of your life

Having Our Say 🎤

Tennis player Taylor Townsend, who shined at last year’s U.S. Open, talks about acceptance and trusting the timing of her life.

That climb included playing 69-year-old Gail Falkenberg in a qualifying match.

It’s taught me acceptance of where you are in order to be able to move forward.

It’s refreshing to hear that you trust the timing of your life.
