There’s a moment in competitive skating when everything aligns — not just the timing, not just the steps — but something deeper. A rhythm between the person and the ice that can’t be forced, only found. Until then, you’re spinning in a bottle — repetition, missteps, frustration — waiting for that one instant when you can say, AHA! I got it!! YEAS! Believe it or not, that's all it takes in life...to keep doing it until the bottle opens and the light comes shining through. When it does, the glass shatters. The ice sings, the light bends just right, and the magic isn’t only visible — it’s alive!
