Death has had a significant presence in journalist and author Sebastian Junger’s career, as he’s spent years as a combat reporter on the front lines of wars. But it wasn’t until 2020, on a quiet day at home, that he gained a new perspective. He became overcome with abdominal pain and was rushed to the ER, where he was losing blood and slipping away. He then saw a large black pit of darkness and his dead father. In his new book, “In My Time of Dying,” Junger writes about this experience and how it helped him appreciate the finiteness of our time on this earth. Head up to our link in bio to read our conversation with Junger now! 📖  #sundaypaperbookoftheweek

What an absolute honor to receive the Gracie Award for Best Online Host for 'Conversations Above the Noise with Maria' last evening. This series is a joy to host for The Sunday Paper, and every month I get to engage in amazing conversations with extraordinary guests, who all truly help us to live above the noise in their own distinct ways. And what an honor to have the award presented to me last night by my dear friend, Jane Fonda! The Gracies help to celebrate women in all forms of media, so this was especially meaningful. To be recognized by other women and celebrated is extremely special. Thank you to the Gracies for this amazing recognition, not just of me, but of my team at The Sunday Paper and the magnificent work they continue to do!  #abovethenoise

In this week’s Sunday Paper, I’ve been thinking about what it means to live a deeply meaningful life. For me, a meaningful life is one of passion and purpose. It’s about being of service. Faith is a big part of it too. Let me know what you’ve been thinking in the comments below. ☕️ For more of what I’ve Been Thinking, join the The Sunday Paper PLUS👉  https://bit.ly/sundaypaperplus

Life’s hard enough as it is. So why do we continue to make it harder on ourselves and others? Remember, no matter what we’ve been led to believe, deep down inside we all want the same things — to feel connected, to feel part of something, to feel loved, to feel heard, to feel supported, to feel valued. And we all can be of services in one way or another in making others feel all of these things, even if you don’t realize it! We all can encourage and listen. We all can lift others up along their journey. And in doing so, we can feel seen, loved, and valued. Give it a try!  #inspireheartsandminds

There’s nothing like spending time with a good friend. There’s nothing like being with someone who makes you feel loved and accepted and valued. There’s nothing like being able to let your guard down because you can be yourself, you can just be yourself, and they can just be themselves. Comment what friend or friends make you feel this way!

What does it mean to be a mother? And what does it mean to mother? R.A Leslie breaks down for us how being a mother today means more than a woman who gives birth to a baby, adopts a child, or is biologically female. Being a mother is an energy and an essence… and we all need to be mothered!

What a beautiful tribute this is from my friend Llynda Carter in response to the death of her friend and loyal Wonder Woman stuntwoman, Jeannie Epper. This is a reminder to us all to love each other, and love out loud. Make your appreciation known while you can, when you can. Take every chance to let those you care about know how you feel. And if you can, let others know too! Don’t wait!  #inspireheartsandminds
