Several weeks ago, I invited readers of Joyfully Jobless News<\/em> to share their stories of the most fun they\u2019d ever had making money. Almost immediately, I received a response from Julie Hanson<\/a> in Glasgow, Scotland.<\/p>\n

Julie is a the owner of the Chi Yoga Centre in Glasgow and also the co-author of Energy in Season<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, a program that helps readers live a more balanced life by aligning with seasonal energy. She also lectures throughout the UK and Europe on health, fitness and seasonal yoga.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s obvious that her teaching is an on-going source of money and fun, but the story she sent happened long ago and left a deep impression. Here\u2019s what happened:<\/p>\n

It was my absolute privilege to head the largest charity event of this era in Glasgow, Scotland, 25 May, 1986: the Sport Aid World Workout .<\/em><\/p>\n

With with a group of fantastic, enthusiastic, unemployed teenagers working out of a free basement under a pub in Ingram Street Glasgow, we put together the biggest workout the world has ever seen .<\/em><\/p>\n

We worked\u00a0 long and hard\u00a0 for six months to get as much as we could free of charge. We got Hall 4 ( the largest hall) in Glasgow’s SECC Exhibition Centre free of charge. Over 100 volunteers and over 50 Scottish stars all turned up to create the most amazing fundraising event\u00a0.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the biggest moments of my life came as I put my\u00a0 right hand up to lead the workout and 15.000 people did the same.\u00a0 The rush that gave me cannot be put into words.<\/em><\/p>\n

The energy and emotion brings a tear to my eye even now\u00a0and the pride of handing over a huge amount of cash to help those who were starving is still inexpressible.<\/em><\/p>\n
