By Mojo, the Real Star of the Show

Hi, it’s me. Mojo.
You might know me as “the dog,” “the sidekick,” or “the silent judge.” But let’s set the record straight: this whole blog? This whole brand? This whole life? Yeah… it’s actually about me.

So here’s my list of the Top 10 Things My Mom Thinks Are About Her (But Really Are About Me):


1. The Couch

She says it’s for “rest.” No. It’s for me to take up 80% of the space while she awkwardly folds herself around me.

2. The Bed

She calls it “our bed.” Correction: it’s MY bed. She’s just my live-in mattress warmer.

3. The Blanket

She thinks she bought that soft blanket because chemo makes her cold. Cute. Actually, I put in a special order for maximum softness for my naps.

4. The Blog

She pours her heart into writing these posts. But let’s be honest — you’re all here for my guest appearances. Admit it.

5. The Snacks

She says, “These are for me.” I say, “Then why do they smell like they belong to me?” Everything she eats is potentially mine.

6. The Car Rides

She acts like she’s “going somewhere important.” Please. I’m the one providing vibes in the passenger seat. I AM the destination.

7. The Photos

She claims, “I take pictures to capture memories.” Wrong. Every single photo is a headshot for my future career as a dog influencer.

8. The Doctors

She says the doctors are for her care. Actually, I’m evaluating them on their ability to give me ear scratches during appointments. So far, Dr. Patel is winning.

9. The Merch

She says she designed hoodies and shirts for the blog. Let’s not lie — you bought them because my face looks incredible in silhouette.

10. The Life

She says this is “her life.” But really, I’m just letting her think that while I star in it. Because in case anyone forgot… I am the main character.


Closing Thoughts (from a Humble Icon)

Look, I let mom have her moment. She’s been through a lot, and I’m nice like that. But at the end of the day?
The couch, the bed, the snacks, the blog — all mine.

You’re welcome for my service.

🐾,
Mojo

I’m Izzy

Welcome to mojo and the mess, This isn’t the blog I ever expected to write — but it’s the one I needed.

I’m Izzy, a twenty-something living (and dying) with terminal cancer, navigating the messy, heartbreaking, unexpectedly beautiful in-between. Here, you’ll find raw reflections, real talk, dog snuggles (shoutout to Mojo), and the unfiltered truth about what it’s like to face the end of your life before it really got going.

This space is for the ones who’ve felt forgotten, the ones who don’t know what to say, and the ones who are still holding on. It’s not always pretty, but it’s always honest.

Thanks for being here. You’re part of the mess now — and I mean that in the best way.
