Can we bring the loving quality of inclusiveness into a difficult conversation, into a conflict with a patient or colleague? Could this help us to transform for our workplace community and our relationships? How could we cultivate this capacity?

My daily morning contemplation. Affixed to my bathroom mirror to remind me of what is most important

“waking up this morning i smile
24 brand new hours are before me
i vow to live fully in each moment
and look at beings with the eyes of compassion”

- Thich Nhat Hanh
