The Power of Celebration for 2016

Here's wishing a happy, healthy and hopeful New Year to everyone

2016 promises to be another big year for The Celebrants Network - TCN with our focus on Celebrations and our new mobile friendly website on www.celebrations.org.au

One of our TCN Celebrants, Narelle Adams, shared a link to a Huffington Post article called: What Is the Power of Celebration?

There are two great quotes in this article by Michael Feeley

"People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state -- it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle... Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions." -- Abraham Joshua Heschel

"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." -- Oprah Winfrey

Take the time to read this explanation of what celebration means.

May 2016 be a year for more celebration and appreciation of life for us all!
