β¨οΈMeet the Makerβ¨οΈ
Haven't done one of these in a while!! I figured I would introduce myself again & show yall my other art forms!
My name is Melana, & I'm the Leo behind the Lunar Leo! I have been hula hooping since 2011, but last year I added a 2nd hoop, & months later began performing with them! Then I started spinning fire fans, & this summer I will performing with them too!!
While I took 10 years of dance when I was younger, and have been hula hooping most of my adult life...I have never been that active or fit. After a solid decade of dreaming about it, at 31 I decided I was going to learn to walk on stilts!! & this year, I AM DOING IT professionally!!! (Not that im a professional lol).
I have anxiety, & let me tell you the amount of mental gymnastics I have to do while up there to not think I am going to die π
is INSANE! However, I will not let my fear stop me from chasing my dreams! It feels incredibly empowering!
So here is your reminder that if you are day dreaming/thinking of something, DO IT! DO IT SCARED! There's probably a reason, and I bet you wont regret the outcome!
Here's to a fun-filled summer full of rest, work, art, & an abundance of creativity!
