Once again, I’m asking myself what the lesson is for the rest of us. What do you worship? Where do you stay sil…ent? What do you accept because it keeps your life comfortable, even though your comfort (or silence) may be a gesture of violence toward someone else? Where do you betray the values that you think define you?

Penn State football gives a lot of people a sense of power, identity and community. But power has nothing to do with how many games we win, since power comes from living a life of integrity and authenticity. Identity has nothing to do with status or sponsorship, but a deeper awareness of who we are beyond labels, rivalries and accomplishments. A true community knows that we are all here for the same goal, and that is peace, respect and courageous acts of love that change the world.

Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Laurie Mulvey and Dr. Sam Richards unwittingly began what would become a lifelong project—learning to embrace the seemingly irreconcilable differences between them. Conversation was the centerpiece of their personal odyssey, and it became the foundation of the World in Conversation Project. The World In Conversation Project challenges people of all ancestries to examine the biases, the rumors, and the inherited scripts…and to listen to the stories of people who appear to be on the other side.  This kind of engagement has the power to build real alliances.

Glad No Matter What: Transforming Loss and Change into Gift and Opportunity

“This is not a book about feeling glad when you don’t – how annoying. This is a book about finding and living from the Glad parts in all of your feelings. I call it Practical Gladness” ~ SARK

Though SARK has empowered millions to live their creative dreams, manage their businesses, and savor personal connections, the deaths of her mother and cat and the end of a treasured relationship tested her ability to walk her talk. But as Glad No Matter What shows, she journeyed through the spirals and layers of grief and loss and emerged stronger and more whole. In this inspiring book, she shares the insights she found along the way — practical strategies we can all use to cultivate profound, positive transformation through, rather than despite, life’s inevitable travails.
