Girl, you amaze me! Take this second chance and RUN WITH IT!!!!!!! You slowed down, I get why you did it. We tend to rush through presentations and you wanted to make sure you got the meat of the matter across.

I'm not a religious woman, I don't accept the religion of my ancestors' masters, but damn, you got a shot here from somewhere. I don't care if it's pure luck or not.....go for it! The idea is excellent, it deserves a second hearing, at the very least.

And that's not even mentioning the example you;re setting for your girls. I warmed my heart to read what your daughter said. These are the lessons they will take with them throughout life, that their mother never gave up, she kept trying, she didn't accept failure. They're lessons that will serve them well.
