Blessed by the Best
Keeping family news private is hard enough amongst friends, but when the world is watching, it’s just downright impressive. When she got comfortable enough to announce the pregnancy officially, Silva realized she needed Alexander blessed by the spiritual Tibetan Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama himself.

Luckily for this couple, the Dalai Lama had some free time in his busy schedule! After the Dalai Lama finished blessing their baby, Silva uploaded a post on Instagram. She shared with her followers that they wouldn’t announce until after the Dalai Lama. Then, she shared how thrilled she was in both English and Spanish.
