My coworkers and I huddled around a tiny screen trying to keep track of a ball the size of a bread crumb. It was a new sensation for me as one coworker bluntly pointed out, "Jojo, you hate sports! what are you doing here?"...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/357149I've not been abducted by aliens, nor angels for that matter. I've not been lurking in the shadows, or hiding under the bed. Nope, I walked away from Blogit for a few days intentionally, you know to have a life, for those few days, and it turned it out it was more difficult to come back then I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/335118I've discovered a disturbing trend in my life over the last few days. Women who have given their power away or who simply have never fully learned how special they really are. One is a teenager on my caseload. She was taken out of an extremely abusive home as a child. The abuse was enough that...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/333947I often describe myself as a girly-girl. I don’t like getting dirty, well ok, there is one exception to that but that’s another post. I am very empathetic and emotional. Sometimes at appropriate times, sometimes not but usually my emotions control my decisions. Occasionally though, a thought will...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/333617I rented a couple of movies over the weekend from the grocery store. Tonight I realized that they are due back so being miss "always follows the rules," I decided I had better get them in. It's a nice day so I'm cruising along singing my little heart out to some song I don't even know on the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/333288I'm feeling nostaligic, though it was only in August I think, and lazy, so tonight my first official repost. What would you do if you suddenly lost your ability to verbally communicate? What if you couldn’t tell your care takers that you hate spinach and yes, you must watch every episode of...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/333037So it turns out that Matt, my virtual personal trainer, really does notice if I miss a work out. I missed yesterday due to family obligations. Consequently, today I was scolded by the computer animated man on my tv screen. Talk about humility! Ok, so I guess I needed to know that and will have to...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/332822We were young but we knew what we needed to do to get what we wanted. My friends and I understood the power of positive energy, though I have no idea how we learned it. I think we must have been about eight years old, my sister and I and our friend Rachel. She had a little sister that would join...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/332443I've spent the better part of the night thinking about "the one that got away." Ok, so I'm not looking for pity, and yes, I know it will get easier as time goes on and I know I need to just forget about him. I'm feeling like a freak really, that I'm missing someone so desperately that I knew for...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/jojostar/331934I was looking forward to watching the premier of "The Book of Daniel" tonight. Since I do not have a volunteer job yet, my friday nights are mostly spent in front of the boob tube. I thought this show looked refreshing. It was going to be something new and fun. I will never know. Not unless I...
