The Chronicles of Mojo
PURPOSE & PASSION
I often heard stories from my grandparents about my ancestors, who migrated from Poland, and how the first thing they would see was the Statue of Liberty. My Grandpa told me how his father broke down into tears when he first saw Lady Liberty. She was a symbol of freedom and hope for him and immigrants Read more about PURPOSE & PASSION[…]
Q & A MOJO
September 30th, 2011 Armed with nothing but some solar dancing flowers, a MacBook, and some encouraging words from my new friend Wayne, I headed to Crossroads Adult Transitional Center. This was the kind of area most people avoided driving through. Filled with abandoned buildings, barbed-wire fences, and broken glass. The kind of area where real Read more about Q & A MOJO[…]
FLOWER FOR A DOLLAR
September 1st, 2011 I was on a mission to find more solar dancing flowers. I looked at every dollar store in south cook county. Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Dollar Store, Dollar Stop, and Family Dollar to no avail. I gave my business card to every manager I came in contact with begging them to call me Read more about FLOWER FOR A DOLLAR[…]
THE ROAD OF LIFE
Around 4am on February 17th 2010 I woke up with this picture in my head and began writing. That early morning brainstorming session became the first version of a speech and now book called Staying Positive in a Negative World. From beginning to end it remains the best speech I’ve ever written. The words just Read more about THE ROAD OF LIFE[…]
MOJO IN PRISON?
August 24th, 2011 Two weeks after the debut success of my Staying Positive in a Negative World program, I found myself in a major funk. I was coming off an all-time high and was like “Now What?” Unexpectedly I got a phone call from The Illinois Department of Corrections. They heard about my positive thinking talk and Read more about MOJO IN PRISON?[…]
ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW GATE
“Enter through the Narrow Gate; for the gate is wide and broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter it are many. How narrow and constricted is the road that leads to life and those who enter it are few.” Life is Hard. It’s never easy to do the right thing but to excel Read more about ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW GATE[…]
MOJO SAVES THE DAY
July 13th, 2011 I was sweating bullets prior to the debut of my Food for Life program at the Tinley Park Public Library. I had just arrived at the library to set up my computer and test my out my slideshow. To my horror, their was no podium to be found. Instead, the area where the Read more about MOJO SAVES THE DAY[…]
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
July 4th, 2011 My first encounter with the solar-powered dancing flower was at the annual 4th of July parade in Mokena, Illinois. It was a picture-perfect summer day with temperatures in the mid 70’s and not a cloud in the sky. Kids lined the streets with empty bags to gather candy from all the floats passing by, Read more about LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT[…]
