My worst injury to date, even though I bruise easily I am used to ones one my knees and upper arms from doing breaks. But yesterday i was still mastering foot hooping using only a lightweight hoop when it flew off and banged me between the eyes...it stunned me and made me cry!

I am using lots of arnica right now in all forms but have almost a black eye...I'll leave practising foot hooping again until next week...:-)

Last night I lit my fire hoop for the first time, I was with friends and our children, we had a fire, made wishes on paper and put them in the fire. We lit a sky lantern and had fire poi



...and then with adrenaline coursing through my veins, and my heart beating with nerves and excitement....I stood inside my hoop, as two friends lit the wicks...it felt ritualistic and special, the children were whooping, my female friends were encouraging...



And then I was off....the roar…  

My first real pratice at sustained spinning.

A beautiful, september day, cloudless sky, a peaceful garden in the park, my only audience - 2 doves...

No thoughts, no ego, just spinning with my my hoop.... I feel so peaceful and calm :-)
