Stacey Guard aka Firefly

Magnify

My passion: Hoop Dance and living a purpose driven life.

Words I live by: Do what you love and you'll love what you do. Duh.

One thing I never want to do again: Live trapped by guilt, shame or fear.

Early bird or night owl? Both. I find sleep a nuisance.

My best bargain find: Awesome furry boots for $12 at Plato's Closet.

I am most proud of: Building a community of hoopers at the Carver Healing Arts Gallery.

The food I could eat every day: Ice cream. It's my medication.

I am guilty of: Being too optimistic. I live in the clouds and I like it up here!

My theme song: Flower Child by Lenny Kravitz

I feel strongest when: I'm surrounded by people who love me unconditionally.

If I could be totally wild, I would: Pack a bag and run off to BurningMan. Wooo Hoooo!

My first job: Working the Clinique counter at Bloomingdale's. I was the only kid I knew who earned a commission in high school.

I'm thinking about: The Hooper's Ball! We're bringing hoopers from D.C., C'ville, and Virginia Beach together. hulahooping.meetup.com/16/

I am inspired by: My Dad. We both love to idea-chase. He's a super-passionate entrepreneur, horseman, motorcycle demon. He's seriously obnoxious, but he's mine.

When I grow up: Are you kidding me? I'm not growing up, and you can't make me!
