    My #powertoshine person is my mother. Without her our family would be nothing. Sadly she is living in her own little world with Alzheimers. We light up at the slightest glimmer of memory and recognition. God bless mam.

    My powertoshine person is my Dad. After a tough couple of years for him in which he lost several loved ones, and was made redundant, he has been my family's rock. He turned a negative into a positive by going back to college at the age of 50 to get a degree, so that he can get back into the work force. I'm so proud of him <3

    My #powertoshine person is my mom, she is the most determined and strongest person I know... raising 5 kids, working full-time while also taking college course, only to come home to cook, get the house in order, help us all with homework, then back out to take us to soccer practice meets, library, friends house etc... and does it all with a smile on her face.

    My #powertoshine person is my best friend. She is always there for me when I need her and is going through a really hard time at the moment. I would love to cheer her up a bit with this voucher.

    My #powertoshine person is Aziz "Zyzz" Shavershian, he taught me the importance of aesthetics and not to give a poop what others think. RIP.

    My 'powertoshine' person is my mum who is truly a living saint.

    My #powertoshine person would have to be my dad. An inspiration of a man, and if I can be half the man he is, I will be a good person.

    My parents are my #powertoshine. Very positive and supportive people, I'd be lost without them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    My power to shine person is my mother. Through all my health problems, and all the difficulties, she's been there through thick and thin. She's never once discouraged me from living my dreams, and I hope to end up like her, with as much love and compassion as she has.

    my #powertoshine person is the first person singular....

    Because I would like to infuse this lovely thread, which heretofore was full of goodness and altruism, with a touch of selfishness and narcissism and because, of course, I'm salivating at all the things I could buy with that voucher.:P

    Now, if any of my competitors wouldn't mind thanking me for the above post, just to give my entry some extra clout...?

    My powertoshine person is my uncle who is still working so hard to beat his depression. After a very difficult few years when we lost my nana and nearly lost him too he has come out the other side looking very like the uncle I had when I was a child. I know he has a struggle every day but he didn't give up and we are so proud of him.

    My Powertoshine person isn't a person, it's my mutt.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,166 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    My #powertoshine person is Brain Boitano.

    When Brian Boitano was in the olympics,
    Skating for the gold,
    He did two Salchows and a triple lutz,
    While wearing a blind fold.

    When Brian Boitano was in the alps,
    Fighting grizzly bears,
    He used his magical fire breath,
    And saved the maidens fair.

    When Brian Boitano travelled through time
    To the year 3010,
    He fought the evil robot kings
    and saved the human race again

    And when Brian Boitano built the pyramids,
    He beat up Kublai Kahn.

    Cause Brian Boitano doesn't take poop from an-y-body

    The end.

    My #powertoshine person has to be my mother, as unoriginal as that might be in this thread!

    Without her I would not be here and she continues to be someone I can learn from.

    my #powertoshine person is my mum as she is always there to help with any problems I have


  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭Diamondsandrose


    My powertoshine person has to be my brother. He's helped me through tough times, always been supportive and honestly deserves the all in one voucher more than I do. It would be such a nice gesture to a person who deserves it so much.

    My #powertoshine person is my father who helped me get my new apartment (which is powered by Electric Ireland) all nice and shiney!
