When I first started this blog, I coudln't think of a name. The one that came to me was Mary's Mojo. I had no clue why but went with it.
I've had a few knocks down in the last year or so of my life and have been working on getting my Mojo back. What is Mojo? Well according to urban dictionary the meanings are:
1. Self-confidence, Self-assuredness. As in basis for belief in ones self in a situation. Esp. I context of contest or display of skill such as sexual advances or going into battle.
2. Good luck fetish / charm to bolster confidence.
3. ability to bounce back from a debilitating trauma and negative attitude
For me, mojo is all about positive energy, self confidence, strength and sassiness. Years ago, my Mojo oozed out of me without having to even try. My quest is to wake up my inner warrior princess and hunt back down that Mojo. I know it's not lost, I just need to clear out the brush and clutter so it's in plain sight again.
So my quest begins...

Taking a Time Out
When was the last time that you took a time out? A time out from life quickly passing by. A time out from the world around you. Even a time out from what you thought would be the perfect relationship?
I was given the best gift recently and after a few days of letting it sink in, taking a time out and sitting in silence. It got me on the path that I veered off of.
It would have been so easy for me to get wrapped up in this other's life, that I would forget my own and what I was about because I have done it so many times before. One of my best friends and soul sisters pointed out to me that while she sees and appreciates my willingness to go all in, sometimes I forget myself. I totally get that now and maybe that was the lesson I needed to learn so I am more careful and conscientious to not lose myself or compromise too much so that my own goals and dreams don't matter anymore.
So going forward, I'm going to focus the attention back onto me and see what happens, not only with relationships but with everything else in my life.
Stay tuned...
