Wow... The impact of words

My mom just sent this to me on facebook. I have no words.

"Getting ready to go paint at my friend Lucias. Sitting her thinking about you and how much I Love you and what a great human, friend, Mom and daughter you are. Just thought you should know!

Your babies are amazing and get more amazing every day. its because they have you with them making it happen... and Adam working everyday to see they have everything they need.



This was very empowering.

I really dont like it in Az.  I want to hoop but its hotter than a thousand suns outside. Id also love to play with Oliver.

Selena and Sabrina are making a comeback though. Im stoked! BOW CHIKA BOW BOW

Hoop party

I dont get a lot of time to practice with the kids around, but with what little I have been able to do (about 12 hours max total since april) Ive gotten some great things down!

Every one is impressed with this one, since no one has ever seen anyone actually do it before (Im guessing its a relatively new trick.) So Im rather impressed with myself! Im AWESOME at it!




I got escalator down, upward vortex (still working on dragging it back down) Lasso, and a few other things I dont actually know the names of.
I even got leg hooping down. getting it back up to my hips is a huge work in progress haha.

Im working really hard lately on isolations. they are my most recent bane! Im gonna kick its but though. one I gues a few more actual things down I think Ill have to work on actually finding my groove, or "flow" - I wanna just DO it, and not only know a bunch of separate tricks haha.

I already see myself as quite the jumper, and not so much big on arm stuff.

I really do love hooping! Candace brought me a 26" polypro from Firefly! That was so super sweet of her, so Ive been able to practice in the house!These isolations are in the bag!

Opposites attract

Its interesting how forward focussed I am and how memory (past) oriented adam is. Its evident even in our speech and how we teach Oliver.

I say "its ok, just be more careful."
He says "I told you not to do it that way."

Side note: its been proven that forgetful people let go easily and the better your memory the easier it is to homd grudges

Hooping!

Yeah Ive been hula hooping and I absolutely love it! Candace has really been inspiring me to do all kinds of new things with my new found freedom without a baby inside of me. I wish it wasnt 110 degrees outside so I could actually practice more, but for now I got at least 12 hours of solid practice under me (thats in a month though)

When I feel discouraged about how frustrated I am with my lack of hoop skills I remember that every single person I admire that can do it has been doing it for over a year. Im actually doing really freaking good! I actually admire myself and my abilities to learn rather quickly. I just need the time. And better weather...

attraction.. the laws.

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
