 We'd like you to be aware of this situation, and we suggest
writing franchisee Marwan Jammal to wish him a speedy recovery from these
latest events. Please read on.
Marwan Jammal is
dealing with more than his share of pressure and difficulties.
Almost exactly one
year ago, on January 11, we posted this image (above, right) on our blog with
an article about Marwan's studio in Beirut, Lebanon. Back then, snow pummeled
his region in what experts called "the worst storm the area has ever
seen." Marwan sent us photos of the devastation. Our response was that
blog, called "When Life Hands Us Lemons....,' and it was a celebration
of the power of positive thinking by folks who carry on despite huge
obstacles and problems.
Last week, Marwan
wrote the Corporate Office, "Unfortunately, a car bomb rocked Dahieh's
neighborhood of Haret Heik Thursday afternoon, causing the death of at least
five people and several were injured. It was close by the studio, we are all
ok but plenty of cancellations occurred." [If you're following the
news on the Middle East, you know there were 2 other car bombs in Beirut in
the weeks prior to this.] His note was accompanied by this image from The Nation:

Once again, we'd like to send encouragement to Marwan and his
staff, wishing them positive thinking and positive results. We also wish all
people in Lebanon a speedy resolution to the difficult issues being
addressed. And we are also reminded of how fortunate many of us are today to
have only the weather to deal with. We, like Marwan and his staff,
pledge to continue to dance through it all, no matter what.
It would be beneficial if some of you would send Marwan a note
wishing him a speedy recovery from all this. Thanks.
