I'm Fearless When I’m Invisible

It’s really interesting exactly how bold I’m getting with these ideas.  I attribute it to the fact that no one has gotten back to us and slapped our hands over anything that we’ve tried so far. 

Silence doesn’t necessarily indicate acceptance, in this case.  Most likely, this type of silence indicates being invisible or ignored.  That’s fine.  We’ll just do what kids do to get attention.  We’ll increase our activity until we irritate someone enough that they give us some attention.  Of course, we’re looking for positive attention and not negative — but attention is attention.

We told you we contacted Ellen DeGeneres to give her Katherine's new cell number.  In that email, we also acknowledged that she may be too busy to help us out, even though she would like to help us out.  If that was the case, we asked her to forward her mom’s contact information to us.

Betty DeGeneres is a very busy woman in her own right, but we can’t help but hope that she would help us.  We know that Betty has gone through this publishing process before; and she could, possibly, help us navigate through all of this... 

Plus, we think she would really enjoy our book. 

Well, Ellen didn’t get back with us, so we wrote to Betty, using Ellen’s contact information, and asked Ellen to forward the note to her mom.  I know it’s a very long shot, but what's the worst thing that could happen?

We’re fearless when we’re invisible!

We’ve adopted the theory of trying anything at this point.  It’s like the saying… We’re throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.  Sooner or later, something will come through for us. 

With that in mind, I emailed BayNews 9 — a 24-hour news station — and pitched our story.  I figured that they must be constantly looking for stories to fill their schedule.  I’m sure that they could use some cheap, sticky spaghetti to fill their plates.

I heard a commercial for a new cable reality show for TLC (a Discovery Company).  That channel deals with family and cooking stuff.  So, I threw some spaghetti their way, too — just to see what would come from that. 

Hey, the way I feel today, I may even write Michelle Obama or Laura Bush to see if either of them would like to help us.  I'll just sign the letters as coming from Katherine.  That's what I've been doing all along...

Yep,  I’m fearless when I’m invisible!
