Indeed, there is so much. In many ways your experience has gone so far beyond the heart of your expectations. What a year!

You have done so well with the year, even though it might not have been exactly what you intended when you looked at the blank slate of the new year twelve months ago.<br /><br />I am grateful that your participation in Emma Walton Hamilton's Children's Book Hub Expert Interview some months ago introduced you to me, and thus eventually resulted in me reading this post and feeling so happy for you that you've been able to look at the year from the plus side of all the experiences. <br /><br />Here's to a new year of possibilities!<br /><br />~ Beth Stilbornelizabethannehttp://www.elizabethannewrites.comnoreply@blogger.com
