A Wonderful Life: The 70th Birthday Party of Sandhya Ben

Honoring the Journey of a Wonderful person

This past weekend, I had the incredible honor of entertaining for the 70th birthday celebration of a remarkable lady. I know her and have met her many times before, but I have always known her only as a dedicated volunteer at community events.

But during yesterday's event, as I listened to family and friends recount tales from her past, her generosity became evident. I was moved by how deeply they cherished her and the value she added to each of their lives.

Of course there was lots of singing, dancing and garba during the event - but I think speeches, when done correctly can really leave a lasting memory.

Always tough to say good bye to guests after a great event - but a song makes it manageable
