Ok chickies let’s get it together. This year offers us an excellent opportunity for us to give to make our world a better place. Let’s face it…we all have a great deal to be thankful for but can get caught up in our shortcomings. Like my idol, Sia’s cd says, “Some People Have Real Problems!”
So start planning today to inspire, enhance or simply make another’s life special in one unselfish, genuine and impactfull way! I challenge you all.

Dear Mojo,
I have three children who are now finally all in school. I thought I would have an abundance of free time but that is not how it has worked out. Instead, each day after work I feel like I go to my second job – taxi then borderline drill sergeant directing homework, dinner, bath time, bed time then I am truly exhausted. I love my children with all of my heart but feel so lonely as my husband travels ..read more
Dear Mojo,
My daughter is being bullied by a catty kid at school. She continually comes home from school in tears and begs me to help. What can I do? It is getting to the point that she does not want to go to school.

Dear Bullied,
First of all, bullying is a very serious epidemic and should not be taken lightly. There are many resources to assist you. Have you spoken with the counselor at school? Are the teachers aware of this ..read more
Dear Mojo,
My refrigerator went our about two weeks ago. I am dating a man with a truck who lives about 30 minutes from where a new refrigerator is located that was given to me by some friends. Each day he promises to help but something comes up. It hurts me very deeply because it seems like he just wants the fun of our relationship and not the tough times.
I have two children who love their popsicles. It was no problem ..read more
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
Dear Mojo Sister’s,
I was so fortunate in 2009 to have five babies born into my very dear circle of friends. My friends are all great mother’s and share a very mindful concern – how do I build my baby to be a strong person with great confidence and healthy self-esteem?
This question constantly comes up in various wording. Therefore, I did a little research and found this fabulous article on just that subject. Understanding the Power of Healthy Self-Esteem and ..read more
Dear Mojo,
I am a Senior in high school. I would like to go away for college but my parents cannot afford out of state tuition. I did not get into the best “in state” colleges. Please help.

Dear Mojo,
My partner and I just had a daughter six months ago. After a great deal of training, we are just getting to sleep all night but I still wake up worried and in a panic about future challenges. Can you please tell me how I will talk to my daughter about sex? I took a class in parenting and although it was helpful, I was left with more questions than answers. I want to know how do I explain ..read more
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
It is truly disturbing today to hear of the news of Dr. Earl Bradley. I have read many reports and reader comments of this devestating news of broken trust and I am prompted to share the courage of a child that anyone can build within their own families – and should. The single greatest fear we all have is of the harm a stranger could do to any child, not just one with medical conditions. Protecting, trusting and investing in ..read more
