The Let Them Theory - by Mel Robbins
"You've wasted so many years being so consumed with other people, their feelings, their thoughts, and what they're doing.
So let this book be your wake-up call:
You are in charge. This realization is not a condemnation, it's a liberation."
-Mel Robbins
When Oprah interviewed author Mel Robbins, and proclaimed that her book, The Let Them Theory is "BY FAR, one of the BEST self-help books" she ever read, I:
- Purchased it immediately
- Read it within a week - (up 'til 2am several nigh...
Girl Scout Cookies - Yay 🎉 or Nay? 👎
It may have taken 35 years, but the FDA (finally) banned Red Dye #3. This has me thinking about what's possible for Girl Scout Cookies - which my daughter's Daisy troop is encouraging them to sell. Of course I had mixed feelings:
- Concern - that Girl Scouts are promoting ultra processed food
- Craving - (cookies are regrettably my favorite vice)
- Support - of my daughter's learning through an entrepreneurial experience
With these contradicting emotions, I posted London's Cookie Sales Page ...
Clear Your Digestive System
If your digestive system is sluggish, you may want to look deeper . . . [Disclaimer: This is not medical advice, and you’re encouraged to consult your medical care team if needed.]
I just finished a [doctor prescribed] medical diet.
I could not eat food for TWENTY days!

- Fatigue
- Brain fog

Why Struggle for Life?
Preparing for Life
I became a mother in 2018, and was grossly underprepared. Not for lack of effort - but my preparation proved myopic. I had attended childbirth classes, watched videos, and read every line of “The Pregnancy Encyclopedia” - with most of my focus on my baby’s growth - but not my own.
My daughter London was born a week earlier than her due date. The empowered “birth plan” I envisioned was abruptly replaced by a whirlwind of unexpected occurrences:
- not having family with ...
Being proactively peaceful?
Across the country, hundreds of college students are protesting war. I remember finishing university when 9/11 happened, and wanting to do something proactive - (yet peaceful). So I:
- Visited 7 countries in the Middle East & North Africa (Kuwait, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Israel, and Palestine) to get a first-hand understanding, beyond what I consumed through mainstream media.
- Completed a "World Peace Fellowship," and studied conflict resolution for 2 years - (in Japan, a nation my own g...
