    Heart Happy Holidays MKF!! xoxo MK

    Hi MKF,
    I hope you’re all ready for the holidays! I finally finished my last minute Christmas shopping for my friends and family. I didn’t have much time to prepare for the holidays since I was busy studying and writing papers for grad school. I didn’t finish my last final until Monday morning! And trust me I was very relieved when I finished my Econ final! I was a studious student and finished my U.S.-East Asia and Public Diplomacy paper early because I knew that the Econ exam would take all the brainpower that I needed to do OK. I absolutely love living in Boston and going to the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. The Fletcher community consists of people from all walks of life, each contributing their knowledge and experience to our school, and together we try to prepare ourselves to address key issues that we might face in the future…well, at least I think we all hope that we can make the world a better place: )
    I am really happy to be home. For one thing, I get to watch Lakers games (I was there last night, when they beat Oklahoma City). And it’s also nice not having to put on 10 layers of clothing just to walk outside. Now I know why my sister Karen told me to buy a really really really good winter coat (she went to Boston University and has dealt with the chilly Boston weather).

    In addition to my busy schedule at school, I’ve been able to pack in some really fun excursions. I was selected to be one of the Godmother’s of “Oasis of the Seas,” the greatest Royal Caribbean cruise ship (it even has an ice rink!). I was on the cruise ship for one night, where we launched off at Fort Lauderdale and sailed overnight. It was an absolutely incredible experience.

    And before school even started I skated with Yu-Na Kim (current World
    Champ) in Korea. I got a little emotional stepping back on the ice… I can’t believe it has been 3 years since I last performed in front of an audience. It reaffirmed everything that I love about figure skating…And I definitely look forward to performing in front of the U.S. audience again soon; )

    On top of everything, I am also very committed to working with the State Department as an American Public Diplomacy Envoy. There “might” be an announcement soon about my next State Department trip (hint hint: ).
    Well, it’s way past my bed…My family and I are headed out tomorrow to Hawaii for a small family vacation, R&R, and a close friend’s wedding. I hope all of you have an incredible Christmas and a Happy New Year! I wish all of you the best. I hope to see you all soon!
    Take care! Hugs ,
    MK

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Michelle and your family. I am glad that you love our city, Boston can be fabulous but a little chilly in the winter as you know. Temps have been in the single digits and teens for awhile here, I think we might get above freezing today. Have a great vacation in Hawaii!!

    Happy Holidays Michelle. May God bless you with everything you want and need. You sound very happy. Hope you get A's on all your papers. And it's wonderful to know you'll be performing in front of a US audience at some point.

    Love you so so so so much! You make the world go around...

    It is so wonderful to hear from you, Michelle. It's so exciting to hear you talk about looking forward to performing in front of a US audience again. I'm also glad you did well on the Econ exam. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and have a great vacation in Hawaii!

    Also, congrats to the Lakers beating Oklahoma City! (I'm a Lakers fan, too)

    Take care and God bless.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family Michelle. Thanks for stopping by and letting us know about your school life and upcoming trips for the State Department. We love hearing about the wonderful things you are doing. We have missed seeing you on ice and the recent performance was a wonoderful treat for us. We were emotional, too!

    I agree about school being a place where you get to meet many fascinating and diverse people who can all work together. I enjoy it, too.

    Anyway, I hope you have a great time in Hawaii and a wonderful break.

    Much love,
    Lisa Seye

    Thank you so much for your post, Michelle! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. I recently moved to Boston myself (in August) and have had to get acclimated to the cold weather, too! (I'm originally from Kentucky.) I'm glad to hear your experience in Korea was so gratifying...I know that watching the footage online was extremely touching!!! Looking forward to hear about your next adventures! Best wishes in the new year as you continue your grad program!

    Hi Michelle:

    Thank you so much for stopping by the Forum; so nice to hear you're enjoying Boston; it's been pretty cold the past few weeks, but believe it or not, we've had a pretty mild winter so far. We're so proud of all you've accomplished in school & outside of skating.

    I can't tell you how much we all enjoyed seeing your performances in Korea, and it was truly a blessing to see you on the ice again; I especially loved your performance to Winter Song - it was so emotional. We hope to see you skating again in the US soon!!

    Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday and New Year; enjoy your vacation.

    Thanks so much for the holiday message, Michelle! You sound so busy, I'm tired just thinking of all that school work! So glad to hear you are enjoying your grad school experience (even with the cold!) How exciting to hear there's another Envoy trip coming up! I have to say that my favorite part of your message is how you are looking forward to skating in front of a US audience soon. As Sam has already said, we all loved watching your performance in Korea, and can't wait to see you skate again!

    Enjoy your vacation in Hawaii, and have a safe, happy, and healthy Holiday & New Year!

    Michelle, you are so thoughtful to think of us while you're involved in so many different things. I am so proud of you for continuing your education and putting your heart and soul into it. I'm glad that you're going to have a nice vacation--you've earned it! Thank you for remembering the MKF. We love you!

    Hi, Michelle!

    I must admit to getting a little choked up when I read your greeting today. You are so missed, and we all look forward to seeing you skate again--hopefully soon! I loved your "Korean" programs and have watched them many times. You are still quite the superstar and artist!!

    Congratulations on all of your achievements! You are an amazing young woman who continues to be an inspiration to me--even at my ripe old age of 58. Good luck with all of the challenges ahead. You have "undaunted courage" and of course will succeed.
    MICHELLE raises me up!
