Hoop Vitality is C.A.R.I.N.G. Hoops
Hoop Ambassador of the Month
Michele Finn is a Far Out Healin' Hoopin' Hottie Ambassador livin' in New Albany, Indiana, USA!!!

"It's hard to believe it was only a year ago April, that I bought my first hoop. Wow! There's been a whole lotta hooping going on." Mrs. Finn, of the great Midwest, bought Hoopnotica's mommy/daughter hoops combo and then Micheles kidsemailed us to ask for more! "Of course," we said... and Kevin and I sent her 5 hoops of all sizes, which she promptly gave away. But this special package took a while to get to her, because we were in the middle of making over 150 hoops for BodySculpt, a major kids' event in Brooklyn, NY that continues to get inner city youth hooping and participating in loads of other sports. If you're in the NYC area, this is the place to be this Saturday.

MicheleIn the mean time, she and I began a lovely and fruitful (not often you read that word, eh?) cyber friendship. With simple inspiring words back and forth, and guidance to Hooping.org's encyclopedia of. hoop links, Michele:

* Makes and donates oodles of hoops for her neighbors, school district and children's friends.
* Started a weekly hoop jam in her city and in attendance is the neighboring sweet heart of the Ellen DeGenerous show: Sierra.
* Toyed with at least 50 names for her new hoop group as seen on Tribe: Hoop Vitality.
* Teaches hooping regularly to locals.
* Recently took a 2 day workshop from The Hoop Path.

She continues, "I can't wait to get back to quiet time with Chloe and Keeghan (her children) and get to work more on my hoop ambassador duties. I want to work on schools and women in their 40s+ that need to get out of their situations, whether it be heart disease or depression, and give them something that can help them focus on themselves. It's so important! I did create a project called C.A.R.I.N.G. Hoops. 'Counselors Are Resourceful Instructors Nurturing Growth'. I was hoping to have hoops to them this school year, but I may use it as a way to start next years school year right!

I better get some sleep. It gets so late..."

Michele is a little breath of inspiration and makes a life of exhalation. Thank you, Michele, for keeping it local.
