This video is dedicated to Kristafer Bristow. My Hooping inspiration, who passed away the day after this video won 1st place in the "What Hooping Means to Me" contest. Thank you to all that voted.

I suffer from Anxiety and struggle with weight issues (eating disorder). Hooping helps me escape all that. It helps me get through one more day. The Hoop doesn't judge me. I'm self taught. I took a lot of bumps and bruises to get here. In life and in the Hoop.
*Music. I hoop to songs that make me feel good. The hoop and the music together makes me feel invincible to all life's challenges. I'm in my own world. Whether it's a slow classical song, or a head banging party song. (Though I'm more known to hoop to off the wall songs)
The song in this video is perfect. It's exactly the feeling I have inside. Never give up...on myself.

Thanks to a friend, I discovered a movement called PMA (positive mental attitude). I soon realized that hooping is where I get my PMA!
