Remembering the Simplicity Beneath Thought

16 October 202515 October 2025 by Jen Waller

Image of two children playing outdoors at sunset. One child is mid-jump, arms outstretched, while the other stands nearby in silhouette against a golden sky. The mood feels joyful and free. Centered white text reads: "We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking." (Albert Camus)

Life felt simple before we started thinking about it — yet that simplicity is still available when we notice thought at work.

What if listening isn’t about getting it right, but about hearing something deeper, in others and in yourself? Read more

When Obvious Isn’t Obvious

27 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A rectangular image with a warm amber-orange background. On the left side, there is a glowing white light bulb lying horizontally with its metal base slightly lifted off the ground, casting a soft shadow below. To the right of the bulb, bold black text reads: "It has been said that there is nothing more uncommon than common sense." Below the quote, the attribution is given in smaller black text: (Thomas Chalmers). The image evokes a feeling of illumination, simplicity, and thoughtful reflection.

Sometimes what’s obvious… isn’t. At least not when we’re caught in our heads.

What If the Real Obstacle Isn’t the Fear Itself?

26 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A square image with a light grey background. At the top is a motivational quote in bold black text that reads: "The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure. The process is its own reward." Below the quote, in smaller font, the author is credited as (Amelia Earhart). At the bottom of the image is an orange origami tiger with black stripes, casting a soft shadow beneath it. The overall image conveys courage, momentum, and the gentle dissolving of fear.

The decision to act can seem like the hard part, but once we begin, momentum builds.

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!
We may know what feels right in our bones, yet second-guess it the moment someone raises an eyebrow.

Creativity That Doesn’t Need to Prove Itself

20 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A digitally illustrated image of a torn-paper-style nature collage. At the top is a brown-paper sky with the quote in black text: "Art is man's nature; nature is God's art." (Philip James Bailey) Below are torn layers of mountains, waves, and earth in various textures and colours: grey stone, turquoise water, white crests, brown rock, and snowy peaks.

What if, despite what we sometimes believe, there’s a naturalness to creativity?
Not just in paint and poetry, but in the way we can approach solving problems, connect with others, or see the world differently.
What if art isn’t something separate from us, but something we’re already part of?

>Nature doesn’t try to impress. It just expresses.
And maybe, so can we, when we’re not caught up in trying too hard.
