Hooping does not always lend itself gracefully to photographs. All too often, hooping that feels good looks, well, gimpy. Lots of torqued arms and contorted faces. Well, NO LONGER! Magical Dawn managed to take what might be my favorite photo of me hooping. Hurrah!

Yay! I’m so glad you like it! Sometimes I get what I think are the most beautiful photos of people, but they hate them, so you just never know. I thought this was lovely, though. Captured beauty (you!) and the meditative feeling I get from hooping.
