LED hoops

Posted on November 7, 2010 at 8:53am 4 Comments

OK--So I really want an LED hoop. I have been hooping for about 40 years. I entered a talent contest and after I performed, a girl I am friends with brought her LED hoops. I was using those on the dance floor and someone came up and said--If you had used those, you would have won. Always a dollar short and day behind. OH WELL!

GREAT DAY!

I took a moment and was still. I got everything done I needed to, and felt good about leaving the rest. I spent the day with my heart, and we had a blast. I love talking to my LB. I just feel better after being with him. Anyhow--Great day today. Hooped with Kelly too. Laughed with Andrea. Now I lay me down to sleep! night...

Newspapers, Hooping.org, pictures, its OVERWHELMING!

What a great week it has been. I had an article about my hooping in the paper. All thanks to Kelly Jean! She is amazing. A lady came up to me at work, Ms Pat, and said, "Your Mother would be proud of you!". I could have cried! I love hooping, but really love the mood it puts me in. I feel playful and young again--every single time! It's hoop convergence this week. I am looking forward to it, but am nervous too. not sure what about, but I am! :0)

It has been a tough day today. It started off well, and just went downhill. :0( I try to be helpful to everyone I can, and yet it seems I fail them all. I just want peace and happiness for myself and…

It has been a tough day today. It started off well, and just went downhill. :0( I try to be helpful to everyone I can, and yet it seems I fail them all. I just want peace and happiness for myself and my friends. I miss the joy! I am looking so desperately for it. God, help guide me through this life. Help me make the right decisions and influence others in a positive manner, Give me the strength to be able to be present.
