Whose Voice Gets the Final Say?

21 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A sea of soft white and pale pink 3D heart shapes piled up on a flat surface. One red heart in the centre stands out among the muted tones. Overlaid text in black reads: “It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.” (Marcus Aurelius)

We can be deeply kind and generous to others and harsh and doubtful toward ourselves!

It’s easy to twist ourselves to fit in, but there’s something powerful in returning to what’s quietly and unchangeably true. Continue reading →

The Most Difficult (and Beautiful) Lesson

14 July 2025 by Jen Waller

An ornate vintage mirror stands upright on a wooden surface against a soft cream wall. The reflection is empty white, inviting introspection. Overlaid text reads: “Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world.” (Miguel de Cervantes)

Self-awareness isn’t a checkbox, it’s a lesson we keep returning to. This reflection explores the art of noticing, listening, and being with what’s true. Continue reading →
