I have been out of hooping for a while now. I had some surgery in December, and I didn't really start hooping again until about the end of May. Since Dec I've put on A LOT of weight, I have been out of work for almost 3 months now, and to say I've been depressed is putting it very lightly.

BUT, I went to Decompression 2 weekends ago (for Burning FLipside, the big Texas regional burn) and found my flow again. I hadn't fire hooped well in a very long while, and for some reason, it just came back to me at Decompression. I performed this past Sunday at The Tri-Cult Devival (www.devival.com) here in Austin, and it was so much fun!

It's been really good for me to refind my flow, it is the only time I'm really happy right now. I've still got a lot of work, I need to get more comfortable with some of the moves I already do, and learn some new ones. But that is less important to me right now than the fact that I am comfortable again, and that I enjoy it WHILE I'm doing it.
