I got a shout-out yesterday. Not sure what kind it was...

I took two of my hoops and my tunes to a local walking track after work to play for a while before I went home. It was a beautiful day - sunny, a bit breezier than I would have liked, but still a great day to be outdoors with my hoops. I found a spot in the grassy area inside the track and started rocking the larger hoop, doing mostly off-body stuff and having a good time. The hoop went flying several times, and when it…

I don't know if any of you noticed, but I have been MIA from HC for an entire week. I took an extreme blow in my life that has sent me into a tailspin. I found out that my long-term boyfriend had been cheating on me for a couple of months with one of my supposed best friends. For obvious reasons this has caused me an immense amount of emotional, mental, and physical pain. I had several panic attacks and meltdowns last week. I got physically sick to the point that I was throwing up and…

I went to the beach yesterday for the first time this year, and I took a couple of my hoops to practice. It was a gorgeous day, with just enough cloud cover to keep the sun from being too bright and hot.

I found a place that wasn't full of people, dogs, kites,…

If you have not gone to see Moe. you should get out there this summer for summer camp or Moe. Down. They are AMAZING, and there are a few hoopers who attend.

It felt so nice to hoop outside with live music for my first…

Yatta! I got leg hooping! I've been able to get it to go around just above my knees if it accidentaly fell down there for a while now. No way on earth was it coming back up, though. Today, though, I got it to go down and come back up again. Not just once, so it wasn't a fluke. (Still a no go in reverse current though.) What really helped me was figuring out that I needed to have my legs fairly far apart to get it to move around right. I think they're about at shoulder width. If I want it to…
