MY Hooping Life

June 22, 2008 was the day I was truly born, it is the day I first saw the mesmerizing art of Hoop Dancing. As I frantically found everything I could on the internet to feed this new, amazing, and completely consuming addiction, I stumbled across movie trailers for an upcoming documentary called The Hooping Life. I was so ready to see this movie and couldn't WAIT for it's release. Well, I had to. Documentaries take time and patience, as the director waits for the story to unfold and emerge. As I awaited The Hooping Life, I focused on my own hooping life. The hoop guided me to all the right places, all of the perfect people, amazing opportunities, and, of course, found Divine ways to bring me full circle everyday. I saw the hoop for the first time in Sarasota, FL. I found healing in the hoop on the quartz crystals sands of Seista and Lido Key. I chose to leave Sarasota and have bounced all around, but again, the hoop is always aware of The Ultimate's plan. Almost one year after I left Sarasota, I found myself being drawn back as the Hoola Monsters (my hoop troupe) was asked to host the WORLD PREMIER of The Hooping Life! This whole experience has been an incredible whirlwind. When I first saw the trailer for this film, it never even crossed my mind that I would, within less than two years, be sitting at the same breakfast and dinner tables as Amy Goldstien, the Director of the film, eating cornbread and taking workshops with Anah "Hoopalicious", the Grandmother of Hoop Dance, listening to Karis, a super star of Hoop Dance and The Hooping Life, tell stories of his random LA celeb encounters, hoop with the Jonathan Baxter, the sensei of the movement, and be with my amazing hoop troupe as we collectively came together to make this all happen. I feel so involved, so participatory, so honored to be included! This simple, sacred circle has changed my very existence, raised my vibration, exceeded and eliminated all expectations I have ever had about life, and has encouraged me to create, re-create, and create again my authentic self. I am so blessed to be able to write down this experience. I truly feel that I am part of something that is aiding in the shift of human consciousness, a movement that will change the world as we know it. I am immensely grateful to all of the amazing pioneers of this art form. So grateful, that I vow to do everything within my capabilities to be a pioneer myself, with my gifts and talents, so that I may aid in the momentum of this movement. I LOVE MY AMAZING LIFE AS A HOOP DANCER! I will stand on mountain tops and sing this truth to universes and other dimensions. May all of you find your niche as an artist, this is my prayer and purpose. Infinite Love.
