Spring break is on for us university of montana students. Also my boyfriend is staying in missoula all week. So I'll be in the "city" rocking out in public every day. I love blasting my boombox in public. Good thing my man will be there to scare off dudes. Gosh, I need to get some pictures taken of my boyfriend and I. we have only one photo of us. I can't wait for monday-friday!

Love of my life. My boyfriend has stuck by my side durning this crazy winter. Now I am ready for…

i have had enough of making my hoops from pvc, it was a good idea, and they did their job, but they are just to heavy for what i need them for, grooving. haha, i am going to sell off my original desins and do something more simple with the poly hoops, maybe just one ring of colored tape for color but thats about it, im gonna mess with the dayglo poly and the glow in the dark , i have been experimenting with spray pinting my pvc, it looks awesome but wears off very quickly, maybe i can use a…

big decisions happen so quickly it makes it seem like nothings really changed but i feel totally different. free or something. though my decision may sound like more of a failure to some, but for me i think it is growth and another challenge.,.....    After this semester of TCC(local comm. college) i will receive my associates degree in studio arts(after 4 years, i like to call this my senior year, haha) and instead of transferring to UNCA, VCU, VTECH, Lawrence, MECA, UofMT, or Flagler i…

I don't really know how it started, this desire to pick up a hoop and move with it--other than the fact that I'm the girl that will try anything twice.

Or maybe it's because I have Restless Leg Syndrome (my family and I just say I'm a natural dancer). 

All I know is that there's something about the manipulation of the hoop, the way it moves, the way the dancer moves around/within/without it that just gets to me. And every time I watch it I think, 'I Have to do…

The hoop stays up .. then the hoop goes down. IDK what I am doing differently! Also my bf was watching me and said the spot with the conecter seems to be messing with my hooping. That its a little flat right there. Can that really mess up my hooping? Is that what is giving me issues or do i just suck? :(

So I started hooping a while back and became addicted to it, just like the rest of the hoopers out there! I started when I went to my first music festival and was just mesmerized by the people that were so amazingly confident in their circles of peace. I went on to get a pretty giant hoop that I learned my most basic tricks on, mostly picking them up from what I'd seen other people doing. Then I moved on to a smaller hoop and trying to learn tricks from videos and just finding my inner flow.…

I just realized that I'm going to be 49 years old in August.  Seriously, I didn't even notice.  I quit counting years long ago and it's worked for me.  Wow - the whole thing has come to be quite a surprise. lol  I've never been big into numbers anyhow.

Throughout this 1+1=another year older thing - and the dreaded menopause - which no doctor would listen to me (another story, another time) I slowly gained 40 - 50 lbs.  Really, yuck....so I started looking for yet another fix to get…

The Universe has been shitting rainbows on my head today.  I much prefer that to its usual deposits of actual shit.  In fact, am I dreaming?  

First my long lost best friend tells me to go check my mailbox, she sent me a birthday present.  I get there and it's a box, with a purse inside it.  Ok cool, a purse, I still haven't graduated from my backpack even though I'm thirty now.  What's next, pantsuits and high heels?  Inside the purse is a card.  I open the card and out…

I went to my surgeon on Tuesday for my 8 week check-up and she cleared me for any activity I wanted to do. I told her, I need to dance and I need to hoop. I was worried that with the colostomy I might not be able to do body hooping or my belly dance, but she assured me I couldn't hurt anything. I am having my reversal surgery in Sept. so I have a few months to get stronger, go swimming, dance and hoop. I have to admit , I was feeling a bit apprehensive. I have a hard time watching myself on…

As I further myself into my nursing degree, it requires much more time to be devoted to my studies. This means less time for me to spend doing things I enjoy, one being HOOPING! I have had to put my hobby on hold for many, many agonizing months. I kept telling myself, time is precious & I have my whole life to hoop, but school is NOW. I'm glad to say that I stuck with it without distactions & got a A's in my Organic chem & anatomy classes a 4.0 for the semester!!!!…

I started hooping on my own in 2009. It was during a very rainy summer, and I needed an activity I could do inside. There were a couple people I knew that had gotten into hooping through practicing belly dancing. After walking around with others that proudly carried their hoop in public, I became aware of the welcoming community and enthusiasm that existed. I am thankful for the bold encouragement from other performers and practitioners that helped me step further out of my comfort zone. My…

It has been approx. 3 months since my last serious hoop session. Last October I went through an almost unbearable amount of changes in a very short time. My roommate and best friend moved to CO to the experience of a lifetime in Americorps, and while I was ecstatic for her, I wasn't ready to be left alone. I had also just broken up with my boyfriend of 2 years, who lived with us as well. While he was a great companion and always encouraging, I had felt we were no longer living on the same…
