I am a HUGE fan of Nate Berkus..whenever I hear he is going to be on Oprah I make an effort to see what new and creative interiors he is going to do. I find much inspiration from his work and because of the person he is.

I have done some interiors for my friends and given much advice to people on how to better improve their spaces. The information has been received gratefully and suprrising to me. The result has been great.
Many have suggested I take it to the next level. For now I am content being a "frustrated designer.."

I have only gotten to know him (Nate) through the Oprah show and checking out his website. I hope you will pass this on to him. There is much to him to appreciate. Through the Oprah show I have learned quite a bit about him in regards to his own setbacks and inspirations. As a human being, an inspiration who just happends to be a Gay man, I appreciate him all the more.

I would really like to hear a word or two from him. Just to say hello. At the risk of really stretching it. I would like an autographed photo from him. I have an inspiration wall and I would like to include his photo among those things that inspire me to be a better me and more inspired me.

It has been awhile since I have sent a fan letter to anyone I truly felt moved to do so for. Much success to you Oprah Winfrey. You have done much to open my eyes and spirit.
