Everyday in so many ways we create these little temples to love. Mary keeps seeing them everywhere.

The first Compassion Revolution Conference was last week and Mary is still on cloud 9. In this podcast she listens again to the amazing closing ceremony. Have you heard it ?

This week on the podcast we think about the real purpose of friendship and how we can be a generous and reliable friend to ourselves and others.

Understanding our values is powerful stuff. This week Mary bans the merch and encourages us all to own our values.

This week on the podcast we discover that being grateful actually changes the molecular structure of our brains. Thanks for that!

Serendipity takes over and Mary revisits the idea that joy is the labor by which we make the life we want to live possible. It’s like chopping wood and carrying water.

As John Powell of the HAAS Institute says “Of all the forces shaping politics and power around the world, perhaps none are more important than our sense of who we are, and who we are becoming.” This week we look at Bridging and Breaking.

My friends us the term #realtruth to describe the things we need to say to people that sometimes feel really uncomfortable. Or the things we want to say about ourselves that take extra courage. This week it’s #realtalk

Do you ever feel disheartened? This week Mary remembers that change doesn’t happen like a shot out of a pistol. It happens in all these amazing incremental moments. People lay the ground work and often they don’t see the fruit of their work or they don’t recognise that their work was instrumental.

Mary got challenged about her positivity and that got her thinking about how we make choices.
