Trying to make a sale – Every day beautiful people

My conversation with the tradeswomen below:

“We take small items from the wholesaler on credit to sell. We only earn commissions and maybe extras from the profit of the original amount. Some days sales are poor, but it’s better than doing nothing.”

“It’s difficult to make savings from this, but I hope one day to save enough to have my own small kiosk.”

I ended up buying a whistle 🙂

I have found that once you approach people decently and engage in a conversation, within split seconds, you learn not only a bit more about them, but these little conversations make me pause and be thankful. They make me smile, laugh or sober.

A wordsmith with a vivid imagination, an eager mind and a burning desire to carve out tales. As I journey with my muse to that land of all possibilities and self discovery, I hope my personal evolution will serve as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who chooses to stop by.

  2. It must be wonderful for those ladies to have someone stop to make conversation. We all seem so wrapped up in our everyday problems and rush through life that I’ll bet most people don’t even notice the women and if they do, don’t break stride to interrupt their day. Your smile and purchase must have brightened their day considerable Jacqueline.
