Hoopin’ and Groovin’

So here I am. I’m a 24 year old, single mother, working my way through this crazy circle. I’ve gone to music festivals and just watched in awe at these people dancing. Swirling. Spinning. Throwing. And just having a wonderful time.

I am not a hooper… yet. I can keep the hoop at my waist, which really isn’t much. Although, it has taught me the more meditative and trance-like state of hooping. I can stand there, pulsing with my eyes closed, and feeling the hoop with every part of my body. It’s harder than it sounds, and you have to be focused and in tune with yourself and the hoop – or you’ll fall over. With my experience, which isn’t much yet, the music I have playing is what transports me to that place. The place where I can find my center, and where I can be free.

More into the biography, I mentioned I’m a single mother. I have a 3-year old son, who is the best thing to ever happen to me. He JUST started preschool and honestly, it makes me feel SO old. People aren’t lying when they say that their children grow up so fast. It’s important that we all appreciate every moment we have with them, especially when we don’t have them all the time.

Other than the aforementioned, I work a full-time job and also have a part-time job, as well as a company on the side which offers a variety of things. In other words, I bust my ass to keep my chin above water. In ALL of my free time, which doesn’t actually exist, I enjoy going to bars/restaurants which feature live music. Music festivals are AWESOME and necessary to life, and I think everyone should go to at LEAST one in their lifetime, if not several every summer.

That’s enough out of me for now, take care and be well.

Peace and light,

Kris
