We suggest everyone being there in good time to socialize with each other at 6:00 pm. There will be no food or drinks served in the chapel except for a complimentary bottle of water for everyone attending, but there are many fine places for every taste, inexpensive to luxurious, in the immediate surroundings.
If you cry today, and you will, let it happen. Let it happen. You know why? We learn that from the 1998 Hollywood movie City of Angels starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. Seth: Why do people cry? Maggie: What do you mean? Seth: I mean, what happens physically? Maggie: Well. . . umm. . . tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye and when you have an emotion they overact and create tears. Seth: Why? Why do they overact? Maggie: I don't know. Seth: Maybe. . . maybe emotion becomes so intense your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful, and your body weeps.

"Everyone has a story that will break your heart. And, if you are really paying attention, most people have a story that will bring you to your knees" American professor Brené Brown, known for her work on shame, vulnerability, and leadership, has said.
Welcome around the world to a beautiful evening in the heavenly atmosphere of Westminster Chapel in London. Like every year, we are remembering World Mental Health Day, and Harald and our family and I want to thank all of you for joining us.
Today we want to continue sharing our personal experience that every day is indeed A Chance for Happiness, as long as we stay together and share our joys as well as our hurts and wounds with each other.
Let us continue to celebrate art and music and dance and literature and poetry and all the wonderful talents humanity has been blessed with. It's the only way to keep going and eventually heal from our wounds.
Quoting from Ana?s Nin: "Against all odds, against all handicaps, against the chamber of horrors we call history, man has continued to dream and to depict its opposite. That is what we have to do. We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art – we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones."
Our collective spiritual and emotional situation remains serious and we must no longer be passive and silent. Have a wonderful evening, with many touching moments and insights, and all the best. — Margot Azmann , Co-founder and CEO of A Chance for Happiness Foundation

Music by Irish composer Patrick Cassidy –?Eistigh Re Clog An Chléirigh?(The Children of Lir), the first oratorio written in the Irish language, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and Tallis Chamber Choir
Lisa Louise Azmann September 1996 to September 2014. Regardless of the language, Lisa's meaning is spiritual. The Hebrew meaning is derived from Elisheba, which also references the lily flower, and said to mean oath from God, devoted to God, or my God is bountiful. And Louise is both a boy's name and a girl's name of French origin, meaning renowned warrior and the bearer of light. All of which is exactly what all who knew her say she was, wherever she went.
