pick

This was fine, entertaining at times but it was too long; felt dated & campy. The writing was a little off color, probably acceptable for the early 80‘s but I don‘t think it would get published today without some editing & polishing. A light pick. 🎉In non book news my niece qualified today and will skate at tomorrow‘s pairs long program. She has no chance to medal but her personal goal was to skate clean & advance and that‘s just what she did💕

KarenUK So beautiful and talented..... you all must be so proud... 💕👍 5y

Cinfhen The Bird has MASSIVE family support @Stacypatrice @KarenUK we‘re her flock of cheering seagulls 😂❤️😉 5y

LauraBeth Wow - that takes so much hard work and dedication to get to the competitive point where she‘s at. Beautiful 5y

Cinfhen Awwww, thanks @LauraBeth her partner needed shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff at the beginning of last year and then my niece tore her ACL and was out until September. So this is their first major competition in 9 months! It‘s a crazy life but she LOVES IT!!!! 5y

DivineDiana How brave and talented! Such a beautiful sport! So happy that “Bird” and her partner made a full recovery and are skating again! 👏🏻💗❤️ 5y

Cinfhen Thank you @DivineDiana Hope you‘re healing as well xx 5y

DivineDiana Thank you! I am! Hopefully stitches out today. 🤞🏻 5y

Cinfhen Oh good luck to you @DivineDiana 💚 5y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen She does! So glad you get to see her. My son had a rough night- I know that‘s normal though. Thank you for asking ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

Cinfhen Sorry your son had a rough night 😔hopefully today will be better. It‘s painful ( I had my tonsils removed when I was 40!!! ) NOT FUN @Chrissyreadit 5y

Simona Bird is so graceful❣️ First competition after 9 months!?! 5y

Andrew65 Fantastic, not surprised she would have a bad back. Wishing them well! 😍 5y

Cinfhen Thanks!! 😘😘They placed 6th out of 9 teams... not terrible but not their finest @Simona @Andrew65 I think they were just relieved to be able to make it through both their programs without any injures 😃 5y

Andrew65 @Cinfhen 6 in the World following injury is simply brilliant! 👍👏 5y

Cinfhen Yesterday‘s competition wasn‘t world...that‘s held in March @Andrew65 but it‘s still an international competition with many countries represented 😍 5y

Andrew65 @Cinfhen Still an amazing achievement. Think I‘d struggle to make the top billion! 5y

Cinfhen I agree @Andrew65 so much AWE & admiration for my niece 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 she‘s brave and fearless 🐦 5y

Andrew65 @Cinfhen Clearly from those spins, selkos, etc... Someone to be truly proud of! 5y

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar | Cheryl Strayed

After attending a beautiful service remembering children who got their wings much too soon, including my nephew Owen, I am in desperate need of some reading to help comfort my aching soul. If anyone can help me, it's #CherylStrayed. #doitforOwen #Owenswarriors #proudaunt

LauraBeth Hugs to you 💕💕 I wish that you didn't have to say goodbye to Owen because it's just not fair 7y

EloisaJames I'm so sorry about Owen. Big hug 7y

CuriousG Thanks everyone. It's true, things definitely aren't fair. However we were blessed with Owen's fighting spirit and beautiful face for almost 4 months, and now we can give back to others in his name. Such a short life, yet so much has come from it already. 💙 7y
