Incredible. Absolutely to the point, Chris! You nailed it; things have to change. I’m so proud of her, especially at such a young age and I am cheering, once again, your gift to write and get to the crucial point(s)/topics that need to be openly discussed and addressed. You know I’m a huge fan of yours, but this article particularly touched me and left me so grateful you are doing us all such a favor by eye-opening and rethinking crucial parts of life, authenticity, spirit, and humanity that we forget, especially both from outdated and antiquated views/standards as well as the world we live in today. 👍❣️

I tried to text you about this particular piece. It reminded me of you all those many years ago. What was it 40 years ago? You on the ice. I loved watching you skate Kimrie. ❤️

This is gonna make me cry that’s so special that you remember that because ice-skating was my absolute favorite thing in the world to do and I continued it all the way through the beginning of medical school actually with a coach by then when I had to have spinal fusion surgery. I still close my eyes during great music and visualize being on the ice again- thank you for bringing this up because not being able to skate was one of the things I struggled with the most, although we all have hard things and adjustments in life to face. MS would’ve made it impossible later anyway… singing has now replaced that joy to a big extent even in a wheelchair I can do it. 👍
