The Mojo help desk is on Mountain Standard Time, so I was on my own this morning. Quite honestly, I couldn’t tell you the step-by-step details of my edits to this website, but somehow I managed to utilize the “help” sections and update my bio and my logo!!!
Writing my bio…really, what does one say about oneself and keep it simple? I looked at the author’s bio of the book that got me started on this journey and decided to write mine in the third person as well. Then, I sat thinking. Yes, you could smell the wood burning, but then, it came to me. For anyone who truly knows me, they know about my obsession with all things Mid Century Modern. I may not own a lot of vintage pieces, but walking into my home is kind of like walking into a time capsule, a Tiki Lounge and a shrine to my folks. It made me wonder, if this obsession of mine is what colors my thoughts about relationships? Huh. I guess my therapist was right about me being the “one person” I help by creating this blog page.
Are all of my markers of an idealistic relationship based on my vintage tastes? I’ve always considered it a “simpler time” and for some reason, my memories of a time when I was most happy, go back to me being four years old. It was the late sixties and man hadn’t even landed on the moon yet, but I remember feeling like I had all that I would ever need to be happy. All of my siblings were still living under one roof, I didn’t have to go to school and I had Barbies, what more could I want?
However, as time allows me to write, I will explore how that even way back then, the lies I chose to live with were coming into play. My son once told me that by a very early age, maybe even 2 or 3, we have had enough of life’s experiences to fill in the blanks of situations we do not understand, coping mechanisms, if you will. Something I’ve become very skilled at doing.
