Sprout #7 now available (the adventure issue)

I will say yes. I will lean toward life. I will look fear in the eye and say you don't own me.

Every day we're offered countless opportunities to explore, discover, and embrace adventure--but how often do we say no?

When we say yes to life, joy rushes in. We rediscover wonder. We find magic in the mundane. We gather courage we didn't know we had. We surprise ourselves. We come alive.

Join me (Amanda Fall) and 17 wild and wonderful guests as we wander this world, seeking adventure in both everyday life and once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Sprout #6 now available (the kindness issue)

Kindness begins with you.

When you treat yourself with love and respect, kindness naturally flows outward through your words and actions. You can greet the world with gentleness and strength. Genuine kindness, in its simplest form: a touch, a smile, seeing and being seen.

And then you realize: even as we each travel our private paths, patching heart-cracks and fighting fear with a battalion of joy--you never, ever walk alone. So many companions surround us, waiting only for an invitation.

Join me (Amanda Fall) and 17 sweet guests as we explore true kindness, beginning at home and moving out into the world in an ever-widening ripple of good.
