You seriously have no idea how great of a person you are! Not only are you generous enough to give skating lessons to complete strangers online for free, but you're also one of the best teachers I've ever had. I had only gone skating twice before quarantine: on ice I couldn't move, on wheels I couldn't /stop/ moving (until, you know, the floor needed a hug) and now I've been skating every day just trying out your tutorials and I am so proud of myself. I can do so much!! And I'm not giving the floor as many "hugs"!! You are the best!!!! 😊💚
