Vanessa’s comments from the Who What Woo Book Club group.

"One minute, it’s there. . . The next, it’s gone. And here’s the sad truth: You and I, we can’t stop the ice cube from melting. The only thing we can do is make the most of the time that we have with the people that we love while we have it." – Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory

Let’s pause for a moment and really sit with this. Life, much like a melting ice cube, has this exquisite, bittersweet impermanence, doesn’t it? There’s something profoundly grounding about accepting that we can’t stop time or hold on forever. But what we can do is show up with presence and intention, embracing the beauty of what’s right in front of us.

As you reflect, I’d love for you to ponder these questions:

When you think about the metaphor of the melting ice cube, what does it stir in you? Is there something—someone, perhaps—that you know deserves more of your energy and focus?

How are you savoring the fleeting moments of connection in your life? Are there rituals, practices, or meaningful gestures that help you ground yourself in those moments? Loss and change are inevitable—how do you navigate these transitions?

Can you see letting go as an act of grace, a doorway to something new? Are there relationships or experiences you’re overlooking in the rush of life?

What might it look like to slow down and truly be with them? How can this perspective on time and love inspire a shift in your everyday choices?

Is there something you’re ready to let go of or something you’re ready to embrace more fully?
