It’s easy to feel like your actions don’t matter.
But they do.
Even the smallest gesture, done with love, can create waves of change.
You don’t have to change the world all at once.
Just start where you are.

Some days call for quiet strength.
The kind that doesn’t shout, but still shows up.
This week, may we rise with that strength.
May we meet ourselves and each other with a little more hope, a little more compassion, and a whole lot of grace.
What’s one way you can carry light forward this week?

You don’t need a platform to be a messenger.
You don’t need a title to be a light.
You just need your story.
Your truth, your resilience, your heart.
This Easter, I’m thinking about the power of rising.
The quiet, everyday rising so many people do without recognition.
If that’s you, I see you.
Keep going.
You are the message.

I’m deeply heartbroken by the passing of Pope Francis. I so admired the pope. I admired his voice in our world. I looked to it all the time. It was steady. It was strong. It was compassionate. It led the way.
I remember going to Rome to cover him becoming pope. I brought my son Christopher, and it was one of the highlights of my journalism career. I remember when he walked into the room to meet all the members of the press. He spoke of his hopes and his dreams, and he led Catholics the world over with a voice that was one we could all look up to — a voice that cut through the noise and that always rose above it. A voice that made us want to be better, take our blinders off, and see the world as he saw it.
I was proud to be a Catholic while he was my pope, really proud, because I thought his voice was both political and spiritual. It spoke to people who are non-Catholics, and it spoke to people who were down on their luck and felt like no one was speaking for them. The pope seemed to speak for everyone, at least that’s how I felt and he always made us want to be better.
He leaves a huge hole. The person who comes next will either take us forward and up, or I fear take us hard to the right. I hope that won’t be the case. I hope whoever comes next will continue Pope Francis’s steady, strong, and compassionate leadership.
May God bless him. God rest his soul. We were all better off because he led the Catholic Church.

We spend so much time searching outside ourselves for clarity, direction, and permission.
But what if the guidance you’re looking for is already within you?
Your heart has been speaking to you all along.
The real courage comes in listening, and running toward the life that calls you.

It can be hard to let go of what was.
Especially when you can’t yet see what’s ahead.
But beginnings often arrive disguised as stillness, as waiting, as uncertainty.
What’s one way you can welcome what’s next with grace?

Life is always offering us a chance to begin again.
This week, as I sat in Sacramento, looked out at the Capitol, and remembered the woman I was years ago, I realized how much has changed, and how much still remains.
This week is all about starting a new chapter.
About honoring the messy, beautiful journey of finding your voice.
And about learning that you are allowed to start over.
Wherever you are right now, may you remember your story is still unfolding, and you are right on time.

When the world feels unsteady, it can be hard to know where to turn.
But I’ve found that in those moments, when heartbreak or despair show up, it helps to pause, take a breath, and root yourself in something deeper.
This week’s prayer is a quiet reminder that hope is still available.
That courage still lives within us.
And that we were made for times like these.

Sometimes we let go of our dreams without even realizing it.
We convince ourselves they were unrealistic or too difficult to reach.
But I’ve come to believe that when we lose sight of our dreams, we lose something essential in ourselves too.
No matter your age, no matter your path, there’s still time to return to the hopes that once lit you up.
You deserve to dream.
And you deserve to watch those dreams take flight.
What dreams are you still chasing?

In times such as these, it can feel easier to retreat than to rise.
But as I traveled this week on the "I Am Maria" tour, hearing stories of heartbreak, healing, and courage, I was reminded that rising is exactly what so many of us are doing.
We are the poets.
The artists.
The quiet change-makers.
The ones who fall, and get back up again.
The Sunday Paper this week is a love letter to hope.
To the younger selves we once were, and to the wiser ones we’re still becoming.
It’s a reminder that no matter how heavy the world feels, we are made for moments like this.
Read it and let it lift you up.
