This reader was inspired by last week’s column to send me a fan letter, and it made me feel so good I just had to share it with y’all:
I have never emailed to ask a question, but I wanted to let you know that you have helped me in multiple ways. I found your website through Scott Greenfield a number of years ago, and have been a reader ever since. My wife and I regularly discuss your blog posts and Twitter comments, and more than a few discussions have been started based on “what would Maggie say?” Our daughter is now 14, and she states that she is clearly somewhere on the LGBT spectrum (she just isn’t sure where yet); the perspective you bring has helped us deal not with our own feelings (we love her to death for who she is), but with how we deal with how others treat her. You and Scott are my first two clicks every morning, allowing me to ground my day with two anchors that help guide my thinking, and have greatly shaped the way I view the world around me.
Oh, and I LOVE the woodworking.
Thanks for everything!
After all the time and effort I’ve put into this blog for the past eleven years, letters like this really give me the inspiration that helps me to keep it up.
