“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”
—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, born on this day in 1881

I've Been Thinking...
|
Happy May, my friends! Graduations are in the air—so are weddings, vacations, and political primaries (please don’t forget to vote…local primaries are so, so important). Mother’s Day is around the corner, as is Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer.
In light of this beautiful time of year, I thought I’d share with you the commencement address I delivered yesterday at the University of Michigan. It was beyond exciting for me to receive an honorary degree, meet the other degree recipients, and walk into The Big House in Ann Arbor with my son Christopher by my side. It’s a moment I will never forget, and one I’m so glad I experienced, especially since I initially wasn’t going to do it (more on that in the speech).
I hope you enjoy it. Go Blue!

PRAYER OF THE WEEK
|
Dear God, help me to not shy away from my fears. May I lean into them, continue to grow, and surprise myself with the joy found in not letting fear win. Help me to speak up, trust my intuition, and use my creativity to understand my passion and purpose. Amen.

“I love the whole tone of The Sunday Paper. It's kind, gentle, inspirational and just informative enough. I am not religious, but I like the prayers — not dogma, but perfectly spiritual enough for guidance. I find comfort and hope in Maria's honest writings; I identify with her concerns, struggles, and seeking of joy in life.” —Sharon U.
