StudioMojo #592 • Dec 24, 2022
Whoa! That below 0° air takes your breath away! I leaned outside to consider walking to the studio and quickly backed away from the idea. One frigid inhale was all it took. I rarely make cookies, but Mother Nature may be encouraging me to try my hand at it now that Mojo is put to bed and the power grid is still working. I've stuffed quite a few tidbits in your Mojo stocking. And today's therapy ends with a caution about family curses and how to avoid them....offered with the best of intentions. Try avoid the slippery spots and join me here next week as we put a bow on 50 more mojos!
