About our name...
WHY NOT SPROUT·SUNDAY, AUGUST 19, 2018·
Folks often ask me about the name, Why Not Sprout?! The name and the logo are in honor of my best friend, Wendy Ericsson. Diagnosed with Stage 4b uterine cancer in December of 2012, Wendy is the epitome of resilience, courage and faith as she continues her fight today. After her initial diagnosis, multiple surgeries, treatments and more surgeries for hidden and stubborn infections – and then chemo – she was finally blessed with “no evidence of disease” or N.E.D as they call it. As she began feeling better and her hair started to grow back, she invited people to “pet her head” for good luck, because the new hair was all soft and fuzzy like a rabbit’s foot. I teased her with “Hey, look - You’re sprouting!” And the nickname “Sprout” stuck. Her respite lasted around 3 years – and then the cancer was back. Even after more extensive surgery in March 2019 to remove her spleen, two spots on her liver and some pesky lymph nodes (as well as ~half of her diaphragm, which was totally unexpected), her most recent scan was not “clean.” Sigh. And so as I update this story in May of 2019, she is undergoing her 6th treatment protocol and 5th adventure with chemo – all prayers are welcome. Back to Sprout... as I was noodling names for the new company, it struck me that my thoughts were centered on a way to plant and nurture seeds of encouragement and growth in humans who were struggling; coaching as gardening And I kept thinking about Wendy, and it occurred to me that I wanted to help people Sprout. I called Wendy and asked what she thought about naming the new company after her - something that had to do with “sprouting.” We quickly dismissed “Sproutala” and “Sprouts” (that one sounded too much like it should have “Brussel” in front of it). And then it came to me – a question that could be both an invitation and a provocation – Why Not Sprout?! When I shared the color palette I had in mind – green, purple, and a hint of orange and gold – she pointed out that I was describing a Crocus. The first flower to come up in the spring, it often has to push its way through frozen ground and snow; a flower that is strong and resilient in nature. was born (shout out to Kelly Whalen from Pinkie Out for the original design and artwork).
