21. Hey, Soul Sister
1 year ago
Call it a love letter to my hooping; I heard this song and needed right away to hoop to it.

At midnight.

I gathered up my hoops and camera and hit up every well-lit parking lot in the Mid-Cities, hooping to this song once or twice in each one, then skedaddling before anyone got weirded too far out.

I was only asked what I was doing once. I lied like a rug and said I was an art student doing a project. Then I fled.

It is only very recently that I have begun to accept myself as a pretty good hoopdancer, and I wanted to make a video that reflected how much I love myself and my hooping. I hope it comes across.

    Oh this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing it. I've been feeling so discouraged about hooping lately but this was totally encouraging. And your joy just shines through. And this song! Yea this is my new favorite hooping video.

    Eeeeeeee! Aw, you're so awesome. Thank you oodles! And don't be discouraged, lord knows I've had my moments (see the next video, ahem). You just sometimes have to put the hoop down and walk away for a little. Eat a cookie and come back. It'll work out in the end, eh?
