Michael Franti for his amazing work, touching & conscious lyrics and ability to stay super funky. James Duke for his knowledge of plants and their abilities to heal. Scott Crews for always being full of care with everything he comes into contact with (animals, plants, people, projects); for gifing me the experience of living comfortably in the woods; for his honesty, persistence and natural abilities with children; and for teaching me about drumming (not to mention he's super hot, fun and loving.) Spiral for her mesmerizing hooping, diligence, strength & beauty. Able for providing foster care for my old and stinky, but super sweet labrador. My parents, who gave me life and serve as guardian angels consistently. They encourage, nurture and inspire me on so many levels. My 75 year old grandmother who gets more done in a day despite her age, humble upbringing and increasing fatigue than many my age can manage.
Who I'd like to meet: Hoopers, dancers, musicians, educators, healers, naturalists, revolutionaries, visionaries, more kids and adults that would like to join the hoop movement, someone building an electric car. If you are wanting custom made hoops, hoop performance, fire show, hoop workshop for group or school, please contact me.

Happy birthday! - And remember, if anybody asks you how old you are, since you're a hoop person you can always start the answer with "around..." - such as "_around_ 30" ;)
Hi Beautiful!! So I heard you met my younger sister Leslie @ Bassnectar! You two got to hoop !! I bet it was so so much fun! It meant a lot to her to get to meet and hoop with you! =) Hope you are doing well. Looking forward to the next time we get to play!
Hey girl!! Oh my gosh I've been loving all these vibrant photos of your beautiful energy lately!!! I got some new material to practice sewing with. Hopefully I'll end up with at least one hand-crafted hooping costume in the end. Thanks for your encouragement and oh so wonderful Self!!! Cannot wait to play again soon. :-D Thinking of you and your lovely smile! Gracious hugs to you!!
I read this passage this morning, and re-reading it I thought of you... "Women are divinity, women are life, women are truly JEWELS..." -Shakti-Sangama Tantra Blessings & Blisses Lovelight!
