More Than A Magazine:
Latest Edition
SOUL JOY
Published March 2025, Soul Joy is 100 pages of continuing a journey to rediscover ourselves. In it, you’ll explore the many influences on our soul and expressions of the soul, but ultimately, how to cultivate a soul full of JOY!
As with every issue of Paola Lane Magazine, the content is timeless, thought-provoking, visually inspiring, and spiritually rich. Our featured artist is Matt Tommey, a weaver of natural, wild baskets and sculptures.
What is a “Bookazine”?
Think glamorous and glossy pages with stunning imagery and visually appealing layouts. A publication that is worthy of a spot on your coffee table, filled with delightful stories, snippets and quotes; everything you love about magazines.
At the same time, it has the flow of a book as it focuses on a particular subject and includes in-depth discussions. Like a book, it’s meant to be kept, and the content referred back to over and over. It’s here to stay and meant to be consumed over time. Our publication may be called a magazine, but it’s really a BOOKAZINE! Collect each edition.
Rediscover Wonder;
Find Intimacy with Yahweh;
Delight Your Heart
take a journey of joy in the company of soul friends
We begin life with dreams and romantic aspirations. Along the way, the necessities of the mundane and the demands of growing families consume our energy. Soon, we’re tired in our souls and can feel lost. If you relate, this is an invitation to turn the page and make your heart happy again; to take your years of knowledge and experience and build wisdom; to take the energy you’ve poured into raising families and pour it into falling in love with your Creator—and loving life all over again.

MEET THE EDITOR
I’m a sojourner.
Hi! I’m Laura Prather, founder and editor of Paola Lane Magazine (known as @anamcaralaura on social media) . In 2021, as I was in a ” in-between ” season— closing a business, moving to a new state, and a son off to college—I launched a website hoping to build a community of others who were searching for a place to land; who were entering a new phase in life. I named it PAOLA LANE as it represented the place of starting small (“paola” means small).
At the same time, rumblings of an idea for a magazine bubbled in the back of my mind: something I was utterly unqualified to do. As such, I constantly pushed those impressions aside. However, in January 2022, I could no longer ignore the tug in my spirit to start a magazine. Talk about a step of faith!! With a mixture of excitement and fear, I jumped into the unknown. The magazine started as—and continues to be—a journey of rediscovery. Every step is full of delight, adventure, and revelation, but also a struggle to redefine who I am. This magazine, in reality, seems to be a journal (and journey) of my personal pilgrimage and discovery. It’s my very heart.
