Today's songbird post is set to a home video!**and the crowd goes wild**
A quick glance at the song lyrics will fully explain my choosing of this song ;-)
'nuff said.
The hoop has been such a therapeutic tool for me as I journey through this separation/divorce; I decided to document a little bit of that with a hooping music video. A hooping video made up of 3 parts bright ass sun (totally didn't know the flare was THAT bright, yikes), 2 parts rocking out, and 1 part hooping, lol! I'm a work in progress and loving every minute of it. Slowly finding my flow inside of the hoop, which hasn't been easy with an extra 15lbs of divorce weight (not so distant relative to the "college 10" I presume, lol) that I'm not used to carrying around and grooving with. We might take the long way, but we're getting there ... this strong, beautiful, capable body and me; we're getting there <3
**again, that sun flare. I wanted a little flare; this monster, though ... yeeeouch, right? lol! My bad. I thought about redoing it, but that just wouldn't capture the same energy, sooo...

I thought people lost weight during a break up? lol I guess everyone's body reacts a little differently to a stressful situation..
ReplyDeleteYou look very confident and free in your hoop.
I think you are beautiful and that hooping is inspiring. I so wish I was closer to other hoopers so I could learn more! I am really such a new one at this!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the weight, it will flow off when it is ready.
