Dear LJ Family,
Today @ our power team conference call Jessie told us all to do an act of service or contribution, as per our vision.
And as usual, all of us went silent. I thought here goes my busy but peaceful weekend. Another stretch. I thought i don't have time for this before sunday meeting. M grungies kicked in. This weekend is too busy for me with 3 hours of sermons before evening prayers and a playdate for my daughter planned at my place. tomorrow i have to serve @ our mosque and monday night is one of the biggest and most important night.
Just thinking all this i went for my workout @ 7:00. As it was the kick-boxing day, the trainer told us to Kick and Punch the bag. And guys i literally kicked and punched the LJ and CEC. (Sorry Jessie!!).
After 15 minutes he told us to stand in a circle and gave each of us a wooden block. He told us to write all our negative thoughts which are stopping us to achieve our goals, in other words our grungies on that block and break it into pieces.
Guys i realized Universe is working for me. No body wants me to drift back to my old scared, pitiful and nerdy self. I wrote down all my grungies on it and broke the thick wooden block with my bare hands in single go.
This gave me a strange energy and excitement. In that excitement i did a 4 minute plank straight. Now i am filled with new energy and the act of service doesn't seems like a stretch but an act of giving back.
I am grateful for Jessie, Coach Sue, Anjali, Haleh, all the seniors and all of you.
Love you all
Tasneem H
