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

Mother teaches 5 year old to stand up to Doctor and Pre-K teacher!

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

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

bah - humbug

Dear Mojo,

I am in a tough spot. Recent life changes have put me in an awkward position. I simply cannot afford any gifts this year for anyone.

Many of my friends and my family have done so much to help me through this difficult time of divorce – I feel like I owe them. I don’t want to be anti-social – what do you recommend?

confused and eager

Dear Mojo,

As a girl of a certain age, I find myself back in the dating game after many years of marriage. While I have been focusing a lot of my time & energy getting my life, mind & career back on track there’s just no denying those primal urges… So, ever so tentatively, I’ve been dipping my toes in the pool of available men.

I’ve found that, while the odds are good, the goods are indeed odd. The rules are clearly ..read more
