“Failure is the path of least persistence.”

So here we are at the same store, more than a year later. As I picked up my packages, I said, “This store would be the perfect place for my book,’ and I handed the clerk one of my bookmarks. She said, “Tell me more.” I did. I left a copy for her to share with the store owner. By the time I got home, there was an order in my e-mail!

Different day. Different time. Different economy. Woke up on the other side of the bed. I feel like one of my little prairie seeds, given enough time to persist in spite of opposition.

I thank Heart of Iowa Market Place for carrying my book. They’re a great store whether they did or not. I just needed to be persistent.
