“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”Gilda Radner

  1. Hi there. You probably don't remember me. You were my teacher in middle school. Seventh grade? Eighth grade? It was after you'd been out on maternity leave (I think). I'm about to graduate college. I was thinking about all the influential women in my life. You popped into my head, and now i simply CANNOT go on until I contact you in some way. So, while this is somewhat creepy that I've googled your name and found your blog, (Which has filled HOURS of my day today) it was a necessity to reach you.From what I can remember, you like to stay anonymous as far as social media goes, and your email is also a mystery. So, if you could pop me an email I'd be SO very stoked. (Yes, I used "so" twice in that sentence, and YES I'm insecure about it... do you still enforce that rule? Wait, "very" was off limits too, right?) Anyway, I'm inspired by you as an artist and as a woman, and would love to touch base with you. Send me an email if you feel like it: chantelleguido@gmail.com
