For years, I have contemplated now and again how amazing it would be to hoop with women in prison. Hooping is such a freeing experience. It makes me feel so liberated and sensual and happy and connected that I imagined it could be good medicine for women locked up. It was always an idea I pushed to the back of my mind. Could be too "scarey". What if they are "mean" or don't want to participate. What if someone came and found me after they got out for some reason? What if?

I got the email this morning.

It was from a Restorative Justice Program Manager for a program which brings classes into prisons. "I have a group of eager women ready to hoop here. Any of your teachers willing to travel here? ". I got goosebumps, like this experience could be the brink of something pretty transformational. I wrote back yes. We will see what she says.

I'm meditating on Kuan Yin, the Chinese Goddess of Compassion, and her mythical power to relieve the suffering of those needing loving kindness. My rap as a hooper has always been that I want to create peace and bring more happiness to the world. It seems like this could be a real, honest opportunity, minus the glitz and glam. I'm a bit afraid and excited at the same time.

Divine Creative Intelligence, I breathe deeply knowing that all is well. I trust the divine path laid out before me. I trust that everything happens in the perfect way. I trust my intuition. I trust in my power to create wonderful experiences for those in need!
