frazzled and fading mom

Dear Mojo,

Help, I am completely losing my mind. As a new mother, I find that it is Ground Hogs day over and over. I feel so lonely and that life is passing me by. I was laid off a few months ago and I am desperately trying to find a new job in between feedings, changes and cleaning. I adore my six month old but feel I am shut off from the world and burnt out. I want to be ..read more

looking for love in all the wrong places

Dear Mojo, “You don’t know what its like…to love somebody…the way I love you”  My life reflects so much truth in this Bee Gees song. When you grow up deprived of love, as an adult you want to give so much to the one you that shows you any love at all. Sometimes your love is too good for that one person. But, because of that yearning, you continue and keep giving love to the wrong person and not getting what you ..read more

road blocks, hoops and other bumps

There is a universal equation for getting what you want out of life. The first is deciding exactly what that is – I believe that is the hardest step. The second is creating a plan. The third is preparing yourself, reading anything you can get your hands on, educating yourself with as much knowledge as possible (this step never ends). The fourth and final is tenacity, you will run into road blocks, this is just a test.

Once you decide what ..read more

dog saves boy from cougar attack

Not sure if you read any further – once the cougar was shot she would not let go of that dog – even in death!

That started my imagination to run wild with visions of each of us with bad habits, people or situations that we cling to – we just won’t let go. Boy, so many of us are confused or stuck where we are at – take today’s lesson and let go of that “dog” you are hanging onto ..read more

Single & Lonely

Hey Dear Mojo!

Feeling a little down in the blue today.  i am supposed to bo positive and “sell” a new JOB description for myself but my heart is just not into it.  What is it when the mind knows what is right but your actions are different??  I don’t feel like I should be alone right now, whether it is in my office, laying on the couch, driving my car.  I am an emotional wreck.  I am overpowered by guilt ..read more

8 year old conquer's killer orange!

Won’t be long now – we will say our good-byes to 2009 and enter into a new decade! Yahoo – and just in the nick of time, right? Life has quite a bit of twist and turns. Meredith and I have always agreed that “life” is all too often the stuff you don’t have on your calendar. It’s the stuff that blindsides you on a Tuesday afternoon, when you were supposed to ..read more

desperate for a break

Dear Mojo,

I’m in a real funk and I feel like I keep getting deeper and deeper in this bucket of despair.  I know you’ve been there too.  But, I’ve never really let circumstances get me down, not this down.

I never knew what depression was until Brody had his accident.  So I have to be grateful that I’ve not been afflicted with any real mental health issues in my life time.

Many things are happening with my life, but none of it ..read more
