About
PAOLA LANE

Paola Lane = a small, narrow path

The name PAOLA means “small” or “humble,” but it also embodies humility and grace. By definition, a LANE is a narrow road, way, or passage, particularly for a single line of traffic or persons.

Together, PAOLA LANE signifies a small path, like a narrow road: lightly traveled but rich in wisdom, delight, and wonder!

In 2015, years of questions and simmering thoughts finally pressed forward, and I felt pulled into something deeper; something more. After days and weeks lying face-down on the floor of my office in prayer and time of reading scripture, I understood two things: To desire and discover more of God, I had to 1. walk a narrow road and 2. start with what was in my hand. That started years of wrestling because the narrow road is lonely, challenging, but immensely rewarding! In a series of directions by God, our family moved states and landed on a little street called Paola Lane. It would be three years before I understood the meaning of our street’s name and how it perfectly aligned with the draw of God on my life.

Ultimately, Paola Lane represents a journey on a narrow path. A sojourn of transformation, adventure, delight, and rich rewards…but it requires intentionality and dedication, not to mention a healthy dose of humility and grace! Are you in?

A narrow life lives in eternity.

The Beginning

Paola Lane was launched in 2021 in response to a desire for deeper things: to live better, enjoy life more, and pursue God from the depths of the heart and soul, rather than merely an intellectual understanding. Feeling something stirring in my soul to start creating, yet not entirely sure of the what or how, I used inspiration from 2 Kings 4 to begin with what I could do: build a website and write articles. From there, in early 2022, I designed my first edition of Paola Lane Magazine. By the end of 2025, I had written and designed eleven magazines (bookazines) on a variety of topics, along with an in-depth Bible study (Guided Logos Study) on The Soul.

2026 is forming out to be a year of refinement as I slow the process down and lean into the heartbeat and voice of Adonai for clarity and direction.

Paola Lane started on six basic principles, a manifesto, if you will:

LIFE IS ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS: Everything great starts small and our most treasured memories are usually the little things.
START WITH WHAT’S IN YOUR HAND: Every dream, every project, every goal starts with the first step and what we already have.
LIFE IS CRAZY INTERESTING: Let’s soak it all up!
WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE.
WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO LEARN.
TRUE PEACE AND JOY ARE FOUND IN A GOD-INFUSED LIFE: There’s a difference between half-hearted religious activities and encountering a living God who transforms and delights.
