At first I was afraid that moving away from SoCal would extremely deter me from my hooping potential due to the lack of hoopers out here.
But that may not be true.
As I unpacked tonight, I paused and took my mini's in front of the mirror. I cranked up the music and just let myself flow. All the negative emotional residue was transformed into an angry and complex flow, a flow I only channeled once before. 
Being isolated out here without fellow flow artists may be good for me. There are no boundaries, there is no negative reflections. Though, this realization will not deter me from seeking fellow hoopers. I'm on a mission. I need to find the hooping community of Kansas.
