I'll Try
10/06/2016


Hi Dr. Laura:

Just wanted to share a line from a movie that I thought you would enjoy.

It's in the movie "Brooklyn" The main character is a young girl from Ireland who is homesick; her face and attitude reflect that. She's working at an upscale department store in Brooklyn. Her supervisor, who noticed that the young girls' sadness. As she began turning off the customers, he tells the young girl she needs to look and act more cheerful.

The young girl replies: "okay, I'll try".

To which her supervisor responds: "No, don't try, just do it...did you 'try' to put on your panties this morning?"

To which the young girl responds: "no I just did" 

The supervisor replies: "well there you go".

When I heard this exchange, I, or course, thought of you. Anyway, I've been listening to you off and on since I first saw you on the Donahue show, and I think you are absolutely BRILLIANT! Keep fighting the good fight...you do make a difference!
