What drives someone to seek a life filled with kindness and hope? In this heartwarming episode of The Well-Tended Life, Mary Latham, founder of More Good Today, shares her incredible journey across America, collecting stories of human kindness. After losing her optimistic mother to cancer, Mary embarked on a mission to prove that good still exists in the world, even amidst tragedy.
Over three years, she travelled through 43 states, staying with strangers and gathering hundreds of stories that shine a light on the goodness in people. Mary's adventures weren't just about spreading kindness; they were also about healing and finding herself after a profound loss. Through personal anecdotes, she reveals the challenges of staying emotionally resilient while on the road, including the exhaustion of constantly being around new people and the loneliness that comes with it.
Yet, each story she heard became a source of energy, fuelling her mission and reaffirming her belief in humanity's inherent goodness. Mary's story is a testament to the power of listening and being present. She shares how simple acts of kindness, like offering a bag of M&Ms to someone having a bad day, can have a lasting impact. Her journey also highlights the importance of self-care and recognising one's limits, even when driven by a noble cause.
As you listen to this episode, you'll be inspired by Mary's determination and the transformative power of kindness. Her experiences remind us that even in our darkest times, there's always room for light and hope. So, are you ready to find the good in your everyday life?
