This album, "Where Can I Leave My Heart," has been birthed from Mary's growing desire to see pure love and kindness governing our human family despite our differences and belief systems. Dearest to Mary's heart is mending relationships with our LGBTQ community and lifting and loving anyone that has lost family or loved ones or self esteem or has spent years broken or trodden down.
"I want to be a voice of love. I want to be anyone's adoptive mother, friend, sister that is in need. I'd take you all in if I realistically could... 'I'd buy a big house where we all could live.' What I can do is sing to you, to share my heart and my soul with you and perhaps soothe you with a bedtime song."
Liner notes to, "Where Can I Leave My Heart" : "This album is dedicated to Eric Peterson and Troy Simmons (1966-2014) and my strengthening Tsunami of Love family. Thank you for sharing your heart space.
