Jennifer Lopez's journalist sister, Lynda Lopez, is ready to enter a new positive era. The longtime media personality took to Instagram on Thursday to announce that she wanted to continue bringing heartwarming stories to her followers.

“I am so happy, and I am so touched by all of the lovely things and encouraging things that so many of you have been writing about some of the stories that I post on here about things that are happening in our community and in our world,” she said.
The positive response has made her realize just how much she enjoys telling those stories. “I've been thinking lately about how much I love doing those stories,” Lynda continued. “That's what I love spending my time doing, seeing the good work that people are doing in our city and in our world.”

That idea of people helping one another seems to be at the heart of what Lynda wants to explore more. “When we're all truly helping each other out,” she said. “I love it when we're all helping each other.”

Her hope is pretty simple: that the stories she finds will leave people feeling the same way she does, with a little more optimism about what is possible when people actually look for the good around them. “Hopefully you'll have the same reaction I have, which is just to think about how much good we could do in the world if you just seek it out,” she said.
It’s a fitting direction for the Emmy award-winning journalist, who has spent much of her career telling stories and connecting audiences with people making an impact. “So stick around, tell me what you think,” she told her followers before signing off, “I love you guys.” She captioned the video, "I’m going to share something I’m excited about with you very soon…"
