More Good: Acts of Human Kindness from all 50 States | Mary Latham | TEDxOrientHarbor

After tragically losing her mother to cancer, Mary Latham decided to honor her legacy by embarking on an epic mission. She is currently traveling the entire country staying with strangers while collecting stories of random acts of kindness. She plans to compile these stories into a coffee table book to donate to hospital waiting rooms, to help shine light during the darkest of times. Mary is a professional wedding and travel photographer. In 2009 she started the GrAttitude Project with a friend, collecting and distributing stories of random acts of kindness. She shared these stories in hopes of helping other people to find the goodness in humanity. Currently she is traveling the country collecting stories of human kindness from all 50 states while staying with strangers, to compile into a book for hospital waiting rooms. Mary hopes to prove that there is more good than bad in this world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

You can crash on my couch and show the world how I'm pushing for an energy free world

Or how I am fighting for the truth on a million different levels.

Sixty-two years ago a stranger in Santa Barbara looked at me and smiled as we passed each other on the sidewalk. For sixty-two years that smile has been a gentle nudge towards being a better person.
