Thanks Fay! I keep forgetting that quote! I need to needlepoint it or cross stitch it onto something for my office.

Persistence wins out again! It's a good lesson. I love your humility. That's an important lesson too.

As a person who struggles with perfectionism, I love this story. You were upset but did the right thing, forgave yourself and didn't let it overshadow all your excellent work and all the good that was happening in regards to your book. We should all strive to do this very thing. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Have to remember that we all make mistakes, and sometimes (like in this case) they can be fixable!!

I love that you forgive yourself, correct and move forward. It's such an important lesson. I tend to be more self-deprecating and it doesn't serve anyone. Thanks for sharing.
