We want to bring hope to all   of the people who feel the same way we do. We are the ones in the back   of the class who are too embarrassed to try because we are not the   swans. I was born clumsy and no matter how many hoop skills I learn, the   clumsiness will never go away. It will be with me as long as I live  and  people will continue to make fun of me, because they don&#8217;t  understand  that clumsiness is part of who I am. At 61 years old, I have  finally  discovered who I am and, perhaps more importantly, who I am  not. I am  not, nor will I ever be an elegant, graceful swan. I am  Hoopdeedoo, the  happy hooper, bubbling over with joy. When you see me  hooping in person,  you will see my hoops flying everywhere. This only  adds to my joy,  because I know I have conquered the clumsiness &#8230; not  by getting rid of  it to become &#8220;perfect,&#8221; but by embracing it as part  of who I am &#8230; an  imperfect person full of joy. For me, hooping is all  about the joy. It  is a joy that God poured into me when he gave me the  gift of hooping. It  is a joy that I want to spread to everyone. It is a  joy that has become  my strength.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"play\" value=\"false\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/-xF5kqO2fm8&amp;list\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/-xF5kqO2fm8&amp;list\" play=\"false\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you to Urska for verbally expressing the way I&#8217;ve felt my entire life.
