So, you have decided to check out my blog, and therefore my life. I started this in hopes that I can stay true to my goal of writing at least something each day.

Before I introduce myself, I need to make a bold statement. These entries are RAMBLINGS and yes, I know there are awkward wordings, spelling errors, punctuation errors, and grammatical errors. This, however, is a JOURNAL, not a polished piece of writing.
I use the name Caressa as my pen name. It comes from a character I played in a children's theater production I was in while I was in college. I was Caressa, the red M&M.
Now, however, I am a teacher and have been for 20+ years at the high school level. I am married for the second time and this time my husband is a loving and encouraging man. I have two adult sons and two adult step-daughters.
I have taught literature, public speaking, and theater. I have also directed dramas and musicals.
Nora Roberts is the one author I refuse to read, but I went on an Amazon hunt for the J.D. Robb books. It took forever to track down the first one in the series, Naked in Death, but I'm downloading it to my Kindle now. Thanks for the reminder!
If I had included picture books in my entry, Where the Wild Things Are would definitely be my most-read book. Not only did I read it over and over again as a child, but when I was in 6th grade, it was my kindergarten buddy's favorite book. It was all he would ever read, to the point where the teacher did what you did with your kids... made them read something else first. All told, though, I've probably read this book in excess of 300 times over the years.
Most years do have ups and downs. Stress is not good though. Try to get rid of it. (... as if I know how myself ) I'm 56. I now say "no"more frequently to certain things.
But say "yes" to writing. It really does help relieve some of the daily pressure. Will you be making blogging goals in 2009? I made a goal sometime last year of blogging less! And I did for awhile, but ... old habits.
