You never know...
We never really know how our actions affect one another unless someone takes the time to tell us so. I was so moved by this letter, I had to share it. What a wonderfully mature young lady!
Dear Suzanne,
My name is Brooke and I'm writing to you from New Hampshire. My mom gave me your book for my 14th birthday after I expressed an interest in painting a mural on my bedroom wall and it's proved to be a HUGE help. Now, 6 paintbrushes, 1 can of Polycrylic protective finish, 14 acrylic paints, and 1 mural later, I'm e-mailing you to say thanks. For the past couple months your book has been my bible. I've looked in it for tips on just about anything, from buying paints to the correct way to use a rag to make leaves on a tree. And now that my mural is almost finished I figured that I should let you know just how much you've been a help. My mural isn't exactly a "Kids" mural... more like a Teenagers mural (I'm a freshman in high school), but it's still a mural all the same, and it wouldn't have even existed (or looked half as good as it does now) without your book. So, here I am, a 14-year-old girl e-mailing you to say thanks without even meeting you (which is kind of bizarre), and to tell you that I absolutely love your work. I'm inspired to do so much more in the arts and wish you well with your mural business. Thanks again and farewell.
Sincerely,
Brooke

That is so heartwarming to read! What a thoughtful girl to share that with you and what a cool connection to have made through your book!
