The Person I would like to Celebrate today is - His Holiness the Dali Lama

The Dali Lama has had many struggles and challenges in his life and in Tibet. I admire him mostly because of one of his commitments in life on the level of a human being, His Holiness first commitment is the promotion of human values such as compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline. All human beings are the same. We all want happiness and do not want suffering. Even people who do not believe in religion recognize the importance of these human values in making their life happier. His Holiness refers to these human values as secular ethics. He remains committed to talk about the importance of these human values and share them with everyone he meets.

Hello all. I would like to introduce the first person in hopefully many, to Celebrate! This blog is for all who want to Celebrate someone special in their life currently, in the past, or anyone who has done something extraordinary that needs special mention.

The person I would like to Celebrate today- SHARON GRANDA

This is my mother! I admire my mom so much in all that she stands for and has accomlished in her life. She has had some struggles but has always maintained a positive attitude in times where I may have lost it. She is one of the people in my life who I do look up to for her simple message of "just do it". (Like the Nike Ad says) She has been a force in my life who always believed that anything is possible. "I can't do that", was something that was never really accepted. The response from her was always, "well, why not?". I have tried to carry that same attitude throughout my life and I would like to think I have done a pretty good job!

Mom, I celebrate you today!!
