Is there trouble in OprahLand?

Found an article I wanted to share.  This is about my girl Oprah who is my “She-ro”…..I know not real original is it?  Well some have Barbie, I have Oprah….I found this article to be of some interest today and wonder what others think.  Has Oprah finally hit a peek?….will she overcome this last episode on the ups and downs of being a talk show diva?

Okay so who am I?

I have always wanted to keep a journal.  I guess this isn’t the most private way to do so, but for the most part I love to share, so this seems like a good format for me.  I love technology, so getting a handle on blogging sounds like fun too.  Several years ago I decided to buy a domain, but it took some time before I put it to use.  I wanted my own private email, and I wanted a web page with my name on it; but I had no idea what kind of content I would put on it.  I probably had my domain for three or four years before I knew what to do with it.  At some point  decided to try Internet marketing for a while, but it turned out to be  more work then income. I did make some friends in the social networking arena that I enjoy exchanging ideas with.  I have an online mall that I don’t really make any money with, but I love the discount shopping.

I also love technology, so it is no surprise that I enjoy shopping on-line.  I also like trying on clothes before I buy, so nothing has replaced the joy of going to the mall when I can.  I started blogging about marketing, but soon discovered I just liked to write.  I learned that I liked blogging and joining forums just to share ideas.  I am also a student so doing research on-line got me in a writing mood too. 

My blog may jump from on subject to the next, but my main focus is education.  I am working on two teaching credentials and for the first time in my life I feel as though I am doing something worthwhile.  I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy education and teaching.  My dream was to become a software engineer.  So this in many ways is not really what I expected to be doing at this point in my life, but I can’t imagine doing anything else right now.  I can’t tell you how much money I spent on CD’s and books (Microsoft press) in order to see this software dream come true.  I haven’t given up on it, as a matter of fact it is a hobby, but my focus is my life as a classroom teacher.  My kids are really funny and sharing some of their experiences, my woes in school and my adventures in teaching (while protecting the identities of the innocent) and the new lessons learned is the highlight of my days so far. I can assure you this journey into the world of blogging may turn out to be more therapeutic for me than entertaining for anyone else, but I am excited non the less. 

So the saga continues…..
