From Candy to Calling: What to Do Now That Easter is Over

On By Naty MatosIn Inspirational ThoughtsLeave a comment

The eggs have been hunted, the candy wrappers tossed, and the “He is Risen” banners packed away. Now what?

Too often, we treat Easter like the end of a spiritual season, when really—it should ignite the start of something new. At Thrive by The Rising Muse, we’re challenging ourselves (and you!) to let Easter be the spark that pushes us into action, healing, and deeper faith.

Here are 5 things you can do now that Easter is behind us:

  1. Reflect intentionally – Journal what moved you this season. What did God speak into your spirit?
  2. Reconnect with community – Whether it’s church, a podcast, or a small group, don’t isolate.
  3. Reignite your devotional life – Start a fresh plan or return to a forgotten one.
  4. Release guilt – If Easter came with tension, grief, or comparison, let it go. God’s grace is bigger.
  5. Renew your joy – It’s okay to celebrate. It’s okay to laugh. Jesus didn’t rise so we could live burdened.

Easter might be one day on the calendar, but resurrection life is every day we choose faith, grace, and love.

Keep rising, keep thriving, and keep showing up for your calling.

After the Amen: Living the Resurrection Beyond Easter Sunday

On By Naty MatosIn Inspirational ThoughtsLeave a comment

Easter may be over, but the resurrection is far from finished.

The empty tomb wasn’t the end of the story—it was the beginning of a new life, a renewed purpose, and a reminder that hope always has the final word. But how do we carry the spiritual weight of Easter into our everyday routines?

If Easter stirred something in you—peace, gratitude, conviction, or clarity—this is your invitation to keep the momentum going.

At Thrive by The Rising Muse, our Easter conversation wasn’t just about tradition—it was about transformation. It reminded us that you can hold the holiness of resurrection and the joy of spring in the same heart. That bunnies and baskets don’t erase the cross, but that Jesus still reigns above all.

As the pastel fades and the candy disappears, don’t let your faith retreat with it.

Here’s how you can live the resurrection this week:

  • Start your day with gratitude—for breath, for purpose, for grace.
  • Look for new life in unlikely places: your thoughts, your relationships, your faith.
  • Be kind. Be bold. Be a vessel of joy in someone else’s winter.

Because resurrection isn’t just a moment. It’s a movement.
