This feels like one of those ongoing things :] There have been a few days I haven’t hooped in the past five months, and I think all of them have been due to illness. It’s hard to have a bad day while you’re hooping.

How I did it: The awesome folks from Superhooper.org came to my town and gave a free safety class and then we all paired up. One person was the safety, one person was the hooper, and then we switched. When the sun went down, we all got to use the fire hoop one at a time. Read how I did it…
I’ve worn makeup on a few occasions in the past 9 months, but not every day. I have found that my “normal” view of myself has changed—now it’s not odd to see myself without makeup, it’s odd to see me with makeup on. This is good. This feels good. It feels genuine. Normal skin tone doesn’t have to be perfect and even. I’m working on this.
I was doing well with this the first three months of this year, and then things got tough and I fell apart again. But I’m struggling back up the Positivity Hill now. It takes a lot of smiling and a lot of breathing and a lot of opening my heart. Ad astra per aspera.
