Here we go, my Hoop Path has put a Huge Spotlight on me now. Letting me know I can not turn back... It is a journey a year ago I didn't know I would be taking... Now my life is is revolving around a circle instead of in circle's...
I thought my Hooper friend's in Birmingham were nuts when they tried to get a hoop on me,Its almost like they knew it was my destiny... Does any one else feel the Hoop chose them?
I have only been hooping for about 6month's and already have had 2 article's posted in local paper's. http://blog.al.com/live/2010/01/twirling_away_the_calories_hoo.html

With a fair amount of response in forms of email's showing me their are people out there that want to be apart of what we are doing. I say we because I am just a small part of this community, and without everyone who has came before me, This would not be possible.. I hope I can make a positive influence as I make my journey and help breakdown the barrier's people build up in their mind's that restrict them from letting go and being free in their own Body's.
I was what you might call a fat kid, and it has taken me a long time to be comfortable in my own skin.(I did not know I was fat i just thought Husky meant I was getting older) Have always worried about what people think of me.(Now when they think of me they think of Hoops and smile). I wasn't sure what they were thinking of me. For a long time I didn't know who I was. Now i am finding myself. For the most part of my life I have always felt like I am a loner and have strayed away from the masses. Doing things on my own time and in my own way. Not really having a passion for life just living day to day.
Now I have made a commitment to make every breath count and be as positive as i can be. I make it a point not to talk negatively or gossip about other people, I know you all know people that have nothing good to say about any one. Imagine if they were conscious of how negative they are and just kept their mouth closed instead of talking poorly of other's, Some would have nothing to say. How peaceful would that be.. Keep that in mind next time you start to voice negative opinions or comment's.. Nothing good ever comes from being negative. Make a commitment this year to be more positive and supporting of other people and put yourself in their shoe's and show a little more compassion and understanding.....I Love you all Peace and Hoops

Good morning, Jay! Checked out both your articles; it's really cool how much you've gotten into all of this. In the first article the interviewer said you call hooping "a strange addiction," and all I can say is Amen, brother! It feels like I'm eating, drinking and sleeping hoops. If I'm not hooping, I'm thinking about hooping. Every song I hear sets my hips in motion, whether there's a hoop around them or not. I've been at this for less than a month, and I already own five large hoops and a set of twin 23" hoops I made over the weekend to do hand hooping. I'm so hooked it's scary...

Let me know if you get something set up at Bellingrath for the spring or summer; I'd love to attend.
Have a hoopy day, my friend!

I love your attitude! Hooping is such a positive movement--with ourselves and the entire community.

Thanks for sharing.. life is amazing, isn't it!

I feel the hoop and I chose each other :)
