Swings and Roundabouts

1 November 2025 by Jen Waller

A close-up photo of an empty swing seat hangs against a bright blue sky. The swing’s chains glint in the sunlight, evoking both stillness and motion. Below it, in black text, is the quote: “What’s lost upon the roundabouts we pulls up on the swings!” (Patrick R. Chalmers) The image suggests movement, balance, and the cyclical nature of life.

A variety of fresh fruits and vegetables — including apples, pears, lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant, and a yellow pepper — sit against a clean white background. Text on the image reads: "Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits." (Samuel Butler) The image evokes abundance, natural cycles, and gentle maturity.

Autumn doesn’t mourn the end of summer — it ripens into something fuller.

Rolling with Change

8 October 2025 by Jen Waller

Two white dice resting on a glossy black surface, softly lit to show their dots and reflections. The quote reads: "Our life is like to dice, which ever fall in varying combinations; no one form has man's existence, but 'tis full of change." (Alexis) The image evokes the theme of chance, movement, and embracing the changing patterns of life.

Life keeps shifting, even when we crave stability.

Beyond the Known Mistake

7 October 2025 by Jen Waller

A background of swirling warm colours — yellows, oranges, and pinks — resembling smoke or soft firelight. The quote reads: "A known mistake is better than an unknown truth" (Arabic proverb). The image evokes transformation, curiosity, and stepping beyond what’s familiar.

The known mistake can feel safer than the unknown truth.
But what if courage isn’t about fixing, but about seeing anew?

Working with Change: A Coach’s Journey

7 April 2024 by Jen Waller

This is in the style of an ink print. Two trees are in the forefront of the image, one in each corner. They are willow type trees. The one on the left is more mature and established, whilst the other is younger with more lush leaves. A river runs between the two. We can see greens on the deep banks as the river flows through, and a mountain is in the distance. The text reads: "Change is no modern invention. It is as old as time and as unlikely to disappear. It has always to be counted on as of the essence of human experience." (James Rowland Angell)
