Are you Owning Pink? I don't know about you all, but I'm a sucker for quizzes, so I thought I'd throw one out there!

<15 Where did your mojo go? Time to start thinking about where it might be hidden. I promise you it's somewhere buried under the heap of “stuff” that isn’t you, and we can help you find it. We have the shovel and the flashlight - let's go digging! Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.
16-20 Your mojo is wounded, but there's still a bright Pink spark in there somewhere. A little fresh water, a bit of bright sun, and some Pink fertilizer, and you're ready to sprout, Pinkie! All you have to do is decide to Own Pink now. A glistening Pink light is shining at the end of the tunnel, and all you have to do is move forward. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.
21-25 Your mojo energy is pretty neutral - not too flashy, not too dim. You’ve had better times in your life, but you’ve had worse too. You’re on the Pink path already, but you’ve got a ways to travel before finding your Pink nirvana. Don’t give up hope. The Pink future is bright all you have to do is commit to Owning Pink now. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.
26-30 Your mojo is intact, and you’re doing a good job of Owning Pink already, but a there’s still room for Pink growth. Supporting yourself in your quest to Own Pink will fill your Pink tank to help you through the rough times. Keep the faith, nurture your soul, and you’ll maintain your Pinkness, your health, and your mojo. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie..
>30 You go girl! You’re a hot Pink goddess who is Owning the hell out of Pink. Owning Pink comes naturally to you, but that doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from supporting your Pinkness. Commit to Owning Pink now, and you’ll enjoy a life of Pink nirvana. Nurture your Pink spark, Pinkie.
How did you do? What do you think of your score. Please post comments and tell us! Just Own it, baby- wherever you are. There's lots of Pink hope out there, but the first step is to recognize where you are right now...
Stay Pink!

Wow, I scored high enough to
By Karen (not verified) on Wednesday, 04/21/2010 at 6:46 AMWow, I scored high enough to get a "You go girl!" which is a real eye opener. Sure doesn't feel like it most of the time. Maybe I oughta stop complaining so much and focus on the positive so the mojo which is obviously there can operate to the max.
Looking forward to reading more on this site.
Got a 38. Not bad, not bad at
By Dee (not verified) on Tuesday, 04/20/2010 at 8:24 AMGot a 38. Not bad, not bad at all. I'm happy with my life situation and frankly, some of your answers for E were a bit unrealistic. Such as for question 8 "E.Adore my partner and believe it will last forever." Adore, yes, believe it will last forever, well, I'd like to, but not everything last forever. Better answer to that would be something like...Adore my partner, no one can come close"

Got a 31. Doesn't feel that
By Jan (not verified) on Friday, 02/26/2010 at 8:03 AMGot a 31. Doesn't feel that way. Scored lower on making time for me type of questions. I knew I was neglecting me a bit, but doing the quiz and scoring answers helped put things in perspective. Thanks, Lissa. It was fun.

By Manda Wanda (not verified) on Thursday, 02/04/2010 at 8:32 AMI scored a 30-- I need a little work (spirituality, lower stress level), but not too bad. I was in a 4-year relationship since I was 20 and am now just 'finding' myself in who I want to be and what I want to do :)
Jen & Jacki- you Pink
By Lissa Rankin on Wednesday, 02/03/2010 at 1:35 PMJen & Jacki- you Pink goddesses!!!! Woo hoo!
I got a 37! Having to quit
By Jacki Wacki (not verified) on Wednesday, 02/03/2010 at 1:34 PMI got a 37! Having to quit the career I had worked towards for so long after just 3 months of doing the job, was one of the hardest decisions I have made in my life. And though I now have to start all over from the start, I am as happy as I can be! Its hard at times but I'm always looking at the pink side!
36!!! Oh yeah! Though, my
By Jen (not verified) on Tuesday, 02/02/2010 at 7:07 AM36!!! Oh yeah! Though, my stress level (money & a crazy family) and not being at my optimal weight are generally what brings me down, life is pretty dang good ~~ I'm still swimmin'!!
Taylor, you go girl! And yes,
By Lissa Rankin on Monday, 01/18/2010 at 8:18 PMTaylor, you go girl! And yes, we wrote this quiz ages ago - and now that Owning Pink has come into its own, I agree that we need to modify it. Let us work on it! But in the mean time, honor yourself as the Pink Goddess you are. Big PINK hugs to you, Love Lissa
Wow! A 42! :D That really
By Taylor (not verified) on Monday, 01/18/2010 at 8:12 PMWow! A 42! :D That really brightened my day, haha. College is a good look for me, I think! :) I think the relationship is a bit unfair though - you should add something about just being happy with where you are instead of having to be in a relationship. I'm not in a relationship, and I'm learning so much about myself and what I like and don't like just from my past experiences, the fleeting dating experiences I still have, and just being single! I truly believe that you have to get comfortable with yourself, by yourself, before you can let someone in. So I'm not in a relationship at the moment, and I'm totally fine with that! Also, what's wrong with having some stress in life? Moderate amounts are supposed to be healthy; it's just when it gets to be in excess (or overwhelming) that there's a problem. But life would be awfully boring if I had nothing to do and nothing to work for! (I absolutely LOVE school but it'd be a complete and total lie to say that majoring in chemistry is never stressful, haha!)
Thanks for the quiz! Just knowing that I scored that high gave me a confidence boost. :)
Wow. 31. I surprised myself.
By Diana (not verified) on Friday, 01/15/2010 at 5:20 AMWow. 31. I surprised myself. I was expecting a low score. Thanks for adding the "not even with myself". That helped my score. Oh my. I think I'm coming out of my shell. I have to give some of the credit to my favorite singer, Jason Mraz.:)
Go girlfriend! You PInk
By Lissa Rankin on Monday, 09/21/2009 at 4:45 AMGo girlfriend! You PInk Goddess, you- Tess! Blessings to you, your Mojo and your Pink. xoxo
one of the ways that i look
By tess martin-fox (not verified) on Sunday, 09/20/2009 at 8:47 PMone of the ways that i look at my high score is that i have lived a long life already with many mistakes that i have learned from. the other experience that allows me to capture joy in the moment is being a two time breast cancer "aliver". the score came out at 38, altho receiving a only a 1 on question 8 and a 2 on question 9. my home of over 20+ years is in foreclosure, contributing to immense stress. if i ever do figure out how to find someone who wants to truly 'partner' with me, that will be pleasing as well. but having two fabulous grown children with my first grandbaby on the way-ecstacy also resides here. i want to own the pink!

By Donna Algeo (not verified) on Thursday, 08/27/2009 at 4:03 PM35! Although, sometimes I believe my mojo is intact and other days off the charts; I suppose I can act as the Sybil of mojo..lol Today my mood could takes me to 25 or so. The beautiful thing about being a woman is being ok with where you are. Today, I give myself permission to be ...adequate. PMS..perhaps!

By Lisa (not verified) on Saturday, 08/08/2009 at 5:25 PMI scored a 16; Yes a long time since I've felt whole.I'm the heaviest I have been in my whole life. No relationship in three years; I eat instead.Smoker for four years now.I am a holistic health practioner that has been beaten down. I am trying to get back on the horse now. Thanks for the quiz; it helped me to see my life in a new perspective.

Nice, eye-opening quiz... My
By Denise Miller (not verified) on Thursday, 07/09/2009 at 7:29 AMNice, eye-opening quiz... My score of 26 doesn't surprise me. I can't imagine another physical relationship again. There is something to be said about "moving on." At 58 years old I'm into a whole different life-style now. The less complicated the better. A little more me... A lot less obligation to that which confines (except for the grand-kids, that is. Gotta take of care of them, always. They're my heart.)
Wow, girlfriend. You're a

Thanks Lissa, it was fun.
Yippee! Some Pink Goddesses
By Lissa Rankin on Monday, 05/18/2009 at 8:17 AMYippee! Some Pink Goddesses here! I hear ya, Melissa & Jaime. The quiz should help you identify which areas might need a little tender loving care. If you're having trouble connecting to your body, Jaime, try doing a body blessing every day. Close your eyes and scroll through all your body parts,starting at the top of your head. Bless each part of your body. Pay attention to any negative associations you might have, such as "I hate my ass." Try to turn those around into affirmations, such as "Thank you, bottom for supporting me when I sit." Do this for every body part. If you do it regularly, it can help with the task of learning to inhabit your own body. We'll be talking more about the issue of living in your own skin in upcoming posts, so stay tuned.
I got 34 too! Yeah me! But I
By Melissa Derbyshire (not verified) on Monday, 05/18/2009 at 7:54 AMI got 34 too! Yeah me! But I don't quite FEEL like a 34, because there are several questions I got a 5 on, but a few where I only got a 2. Those 2's make me sad. :(
I got a 24, so I am in the
By Jaime (not verified) on Monday, 05/18/2009 at 7:54 AMI got a 24, so I am in the middle of everything. I think abundant creativity and a steady relationship saved me from the bottom of the list. However, I am so disconnected with my body that we are strangers who occupy the same space.
Wow! 34- you rock,
By Lissa Rankin on Friday, 05/15/2009 at 5:13 AMWow! 34- you rock, girlfriend!
Wow, a 34? :)
By Tiffany (not verified) on Thursday, 05/14/2009 at 6:11 PMWow, a 34? :)
If you read the fine print,
By Lissa Rankin on Saturday, 05/09/2009 at 9:40 AMIf you read the fine print, Trish (aka MOM!), the question says:
5.My sex life is:
A. Nonexistent. I never have sex, not even with myself.
B.Unsatisfying. Sex is infrequent, painful, unfulfilling, unpartnered, or otherwise fails to meet my needs.
C.Good. I don’t have any major complaints, but it could be better.
D.Great. I don’t have problems, all of my needs are met, and I’m generally satisfied.
E. Mind-blowing. I go to great lengths to ensure that my sex life is as satisfying as it could be, and it’s never been better.
If you read the A answer carefully it says "not even with myself." So yes, you can have mojo and still not have a man :)
(Okay, was that weird? Did I just tell my mother to masturbate???)
This test is unfair to we
By trish (not verified) on Saturday, 05/09/2009 at 9:27 AMThis test is unfair to we older women who no longer have a male relationship. I am learning to have my MOJO without a man. There is nothing on the quiz for those of us for don't have a man and therefore score a few 1's. Add a section on satisfied without. Although I'd like to find a new relationship since my husband's death, I still must find my MOJO now without.
