…a #blueenvelope from Spelman. With a burpee, of course. Even if that blue envelope arrived years ago, now is as fine a time as any to celebrate.
Thursday’s challenge start the day with 5 sun salutations. Then as you do whatever you do first thing in the morning, think of three things to celebrate: (1) something that happened a while ago for which you are now really really grateful, (2) something great that happened in the past week, and (3) something that you’re going to celebrate later this year because it’s a great great thing that’s going to happen even if sometimes you think it might not happen but you’re doing what you can to make it happen.
The challenge:
5 push-ups that are one level up from what you usually do
30 second inversion
5 push-ups one level up
30 second wall sit
5 burpees
3 times. The first time, you’re using the 30 second wall sit to remember the thing that happened a while ago. The second time, use the wall sit to relive your recent moment of glory. The third time through, use your 30 seconds to visualize the great thing that’s going to happen later this year. Remember/anticipate it in detail and in living color. When you get to your burpees, then, you will FLY up into the air in celebration as demonstrated in the photo above.
Let us know in the comments what you celebrated with your burpees.

Done. I celebrated my favorite cousin getting out of jail. I celebrated all my trans brothers and sisters who are living their truth. I celebrated the rally at East Point. I celebrated Women on the Rise’s Ban The Box victory. I celebrated our community and all its awesomeness. And I celebrated overthrowing this corrupt system and living in a world where justice, love, and compassion are law.

Done! I celebrated having had the opportunity to live in the same city for several years with my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews which is pretty special when you grew up with a parent in the military. I celebrated doing better inversions last week than the first time I tried them, and later in the year, I’ll celebrate passing my clinical social work exam. 😉

Done.
I celebrate the first moment I held Rocio in my arms and the moment that Ro and I each took one of Nikki’s tiny hands in ours so that we became a family at the exact same time. I celebrate every one of us and all of us together in Queerfit. I celebrate the collapse of capitalism, praying that the strength of Queerfit will fill every soul marginalized by capitalism, in hope that we all survive and grow powerful within. Never power over.

Done! I am grateful for people in my past who helped me in some huge ways that were above and beyond, from the stranger in college admissions who bent every rule to get me in to the chosen fam who kept bailing me out & showing up for me and believed that I really could get my shit together to the awesome queer couple who got me back in school & gave me a home when I had nothing and no one. I am more lucky & loved and blessed than I have a right to be. This week I’m excited that dhhs agreed to fix their biphobic cissexist queer women’s health page (fingers crossed)!!! I’m hopeful lately that I can build a new relationship w my bio mom. And deep down I really, really, really wanna break a national PL record for my division this year.

Done! after a week or so of being sick I finally started to feel like I could exercise again, though still slow on the move. That first sun salutation opened up my lungs like nothing else. Thank you QFers, I missed you all!
