    Also, your story of not trying to inspire others but to succeed for yourself seems so powerful. It always feels like those powerful realizations come from the long journey. Thank you for sharing

      That’s been my favorite part of this year’s competition, thus far!! Getting to know everyone, irl! I appreciate you watching and having such kind things to say!!

    As a parent of a limb different child I wonder how you’ve managed the trial and error part of your limb difference. I see the frustration on his face and wonder is there a mantra or visualization that you find helpful in those moments?

    I consider myself lucky to know Mels beautiful soul. & I must say, I love that you always dance to the beat of your own drum! Clearly since birth 💕 I had the strong erge to say the cliché, "Don't change cause I really love who you are." blahblahblah.. Impossible ask lol sorry about that.. everyone changes. That's not only, cliché, but asinine, so stay rad 🤟 Thanks for inadvertently making me wiser. 😂

      Thank you for being the only one in my vernacular friends to ever use the word asinine 🤣💕 Love you and I promise I won’t change!! ...well, maybe a little BUT NOT TOO MUCH!!
