I haven't posted for a very long time, but I have something worth sharing.  In the last couple of years, I have advanced enough to start teaching and I absolutley love my classes.  All my students are wonderful its the most favorite part of my week. Through a very unfortunate series of events, every hoop I own, including my hoops for students, were taken and no longer in my possession. I was so upset ,not for myself, but my students would have nothing to take class with. There wasn't any way I could have replaced them before my next class. I felt like I really let them down. A few of my hoop sisters heard about my plight and with an unexpected and completely beautiful gesture, gifted me some spare tubing from their hoop business so that I could make some hoops for my classes. I can not begin to tell you how thrilled and overwhelmed and touched I was by their generosity. It still brings me to tears when I think about it. How wonderful! The hoop community is full of people like this. I can't begin to express my gratitude to these people and what they did for me. Thank you so much!  They will never know how much it means to me. Hoopers are the best and I love them!
