“‘Mojo’ refers to your self-confidence, self-esteem, self-efficacy, or even sex appeal.”
–Dr. Evil–Austin Powers
It’s framed under glass so extra care is required when shipping this piece”The Bavarian Alps” to its new home. Look for a limited edition print of this one coming to the shop prints page soon.
I feel like I lost my mojo. I've fallen off social media. I don't feel like I'm progressing in other areas of my life either. Am I being too critical or am I doing enough? I know when I feel like this, it's a good time to stop and evaluate everything that's going on and everything I want to manifest. So here goes:

Last time I posted was SIX days ago! I’ve worked a lot on my social media presence. It’s time to recommit.
And now I'm supposed to do social media posts? Oy vey! When I break it down it looks like so much. I know your list looks like mine. Seeing it like this helps provide clarity. We've got a lot to do, and we're doing great. I encourage you to make your list and take better care of yourself. If we practice self-care and sleep more, everything on that list gets easier. So the answer always seems to be more love for ourselves and others. Give, accept, and spread more love. Ask yourself at every step. "what is the more loving thing to do or say?" And throw lots of gratitude in the mix for being here in the first place and for having so many amazing people in our lives and wonderful challenges to conquer. I also urge you to have more fun. Since you're on this wild journey in the first place; enjoy the ride!

Come for a visit and a cool drink on my porch this Summer. As soon as the reno is over, I'll give you a studio tour and play you a song if you like, and I can even show you my new bathrooms! You'll see, I got my mojo working just fine.
Keep cool and carry on!
Love,
Leslie
