It’s been a couple of weeks since we sent Ellen our email. We know that she is an extremely busy woman. Actually, I saw her on one of those late-night Home Shopping Network segments, selling dog and cat cleaning supplies. [I loved your gloves, Ellen.]
Taking that into account, Ellen may be a bit too busy to have the time to email us back, let alone help us on our project. Don’t get me wrong! We’re not giving up on her… just giving her some space. [Ellen, call us!]
In the meantime, we will be reaching out to some other people we feel could help us out. If more than one person answers our call for help, all the better!
I was listening to one of Gayle King’s audio clips about Challenge Day (July 27, 2010’s episode) with Yvonne St. John Dutra and Rich Dutra St. John. It made me check out video clips of the MTV show, If You Really Knew Me. As I watched the episodes, I was amazed at how this series was succeeding in helping high school students become more open, vulnerable, compassionate, and accepting of each other and of themselves.
All that got me thinking — mainly about Gayle King, since she was the one who introduced “Challenge Day” to me. I wondered if she would be interested in reviewing our short manuscript — or book proposal or sample chapters or whatever she would like to review — and give us her opinion…
So, that’s what we did. We sent Gayle King an email…
I know this sounds silly, but when I hit the “send” button, I felt like I was cheating on Ellen... somehow. I hope Ellen will understand…
What if both Ellen and Gayle contacted us?
Wouldn’t that just be the most FABULOUS problem to have?
