This year, on the double 2, I turned 48. Good things happen as you get older--I was showered with flowers, cards, hugs, and gifts from my elementary students, then arrived home to my wonderful family and more surprises. I also signed with my literary agent, Blythe Daniels of the Blythe Daniels Agency to represent my novel, Chasing the Butterfly. Who says life isn't as exciting as one gets older?  I beg to differ.
