What if your everyday world sparkled with delight?

What if simple activities such as cooking for your family and washing laundry could feel sacred? What if you could awaken to the startling beauty of your seemingly mundane routines?

When we practice grateful presence (again and again), daily delight is possible. Say yes to your delicious life with Sprout: Delight--sixty vibrant pages of art, poetry, essays, and more.

Sprout #17 now available (the POSSIBILITY issue)

What if? Why not?

Welcome, Seeker. Dreamer. Blue-sky thinker. Welcome, wanderer and wonderer. This issue is for you.

Sprout: Possibility (#17) invokes the power of what if, shaking off everyday dust and finding instead the shimmering hope of this holy here and now.

Join me (Amanda Fall) and fifteen guests in Sprout's latest heart-healing issue. 
These sixty pages of full-color art, poetry, essays, and much more are pure celebration. But don't worry, Seeker, we aren't afraid to ask the hard questions; we know possibility can sometimes be paralyzing. When you start from a place of trust, though, possibility is not playing with dangerous emptiness--it's diving into an ever-widening sea of grace. Doesn't that sound delicious? (It is.)

Sprout #16 now available (the FRIENDSHIP issue)

We walk together.

Sprout: Friendship (our sixteenth issue) frees friendship of labels and limitations, revealing a living kind of kinship that's possible now--just as you are. When our definition changes, we are free to celebrate connection of all kinds, found how and where we need it most--right in the middle of our messy-beautiful everyday lives.

Friendship no longer requires a prettied-up, polished, censored version of yourself (did it ever?). Meaningful connection invites the real and true you to come out of hiding, to drop pretense, to lower your defenses enough to see the real and true person looking back at you.

Join me (Amanda Fall) and eighteen guests in Sprout's latest colorful issue. In these sixty pages of art, poetry, essays, and much more, we explore kinship of all shapes and sizes. Brave, true, unafraid connection celebrates you + me + we--and holds space for all three.

Sprout online magazine: issue sixteen (seeds of friendship) is now available!
