Summer lovins-- This summer has been filled with many adventures, much laughter, phamily and phish!! Between the fun and games I've surrounded myself by tons of work. Work, work and more work. It's hard sometimes to pull yourself away from the source that makes you money! Unfortunately, my hooping has greatly suffered because of it!! I've realized lately how important it is to stay connected with my love of the hoop! My love does still continue to grow and I am still inspired..it's all about taking some time everyday to express that love! I have managed to slip away for a little bit...but I'm back! And more joyful than ever!

I am finally taking some time to update my profile. :) It's been a while. In fact, I haven't posted since I first began hooping. It seems I've grown alot in a year. I can't believe another year has flown by and the world keeps on spinnin'. As I sit here and reflect on my accomplishments and
my failed goals I'm only reminded that this is life. It's the way it is and always will be. And despite all the obstacles in my life and others people's lives I continue to enjoy everyday I am alive. As for my hooping world, I have entered a whole new reality of dance and movement through my practices. As I continue to grow as a hooper my love for the hoop continues to expand. More importantly, I've also managed to recruit some hoopers. What an amazing feeling. Being able to spread the love of the hoop. The inspiration from the hoop continues to catch the eye of many of my fellow community members. It inspires them as much as it inspired me and that to me is one of the very many aspects of the wonderful world of hooping. Thank you everyone for inspiring me to hoop and helping me to grow not only as a person, but as a hooper.! (Art by Amanda Hone)

This is my first official "blog" here on tribe. I joined tribe months ago but I'm only now beginning to learn and take advantage.! I am a new hooper and I have joined tribe to get myself involved in the hooping world. Here in Keene NH I am one of the ONLY hoopers! It's crazy! Anyway, I will be in Seattle this summer so I am hoping to attend some of the gatherings as well as have some fun on National Hoop DAY! :)
