Today I resigned from my duties at hooping.org. Whew. It’s been a great project for three years, but I’m excited to get myself focused on offbeatbride.com. Plus, like Lotus Magazine, I found that the administration challenges of running a community media project eventually eclipsed the joy I originally found from the community. I’m hoping that I realized it a little sooner with hooping.org than I did with Lotus, so that I can still squeeze out some hooping joy without worrying about the socio-cultural dynamics … oh, who am I kidding. My head is always a blur of socio-cultural dynamics. Whereever you go, there you are. That said, now I can focus on the sociocultural impacts of weird weddings instead of hula hooping. One must pick her battles.
