When Promise first approached me to be a contributing artist for the Notebooks, my first thought was—me? an artist?!

But as I read about the heart and motivation behind the project—how it seeks to champion lives and support moms—something in me shifted. From “I don’t think I can do this” to “HOW can I do this?”

I prayed and asked the Lord what to write on the cover, and during that season, my devotions kept circling back to the same whisper: “Be still, and know that I am God.”

That reminder—that our STRIVING must be balanced with RESTING in Him, that our WORK and STILLNESS can BOTH honor Him, and that we can rest in the assurance that He goes before us—became the anchor for this design.

May YOU be blessed and encouraged each time you open its pages—to be STILL and rest IN HIM. May He speak to you through your writing, and may every pause to pen your thoughts become an avenue to hear His heartbeat more clearly ❤️

40% of the profits from the Notebooks will go towards supporting the work of Safe Place Singapore, an organization that champions lives and walks alongside moms in need.

The Lord truly works in ways beyond our understanding. ✨

What began as a simple calligraphy piece of Hebrews 3:13—one I was prompted to write and send to Pastor Jimi, then a complete stranger—has unfolded into something only God could orchestrate.

Pastor Jimi reached out again, praying about how to bless his staff, and the Lord brought me to mind.

Now, I’m looking forward to conducting a calligraphy session for 200 of his staff and volunteers at Peacehaven Nursing Home on 19 Dec—and I’m inviting our CGC members to come on board too, to be a part of this beautiful time of blessing.

Meeting him in person today felt like meeting an old friend. His quiet obedience and the way he greets each resident and staff by name is such a powerful testimony of what it means to love people the way God loves. 💛

Only God could weave a story like this 🥹❤️

It’s amazing how one connection can open doors you’d never imagine ✨

From the very first time Rachael connected with me, her warmth and grace were so evident—and from that single connection came the opportunity to spend an afternoon with the lovely ladies of 🥹❤️

For many of them, it was their very first time trying brush pen calligraphy, and I felt so honored to guide them through the strokes and flow of this beautiful art.

But beyond lettering, what truly filled the space was the openness, the sharing, and the slowing down together in such a rare and precious way.

Truly the loveliest afternoon in the prettiest space, with the most beautiful ladies. 🌸

If this speaks to you and you’d love to bring a brush pen calligraphy workshop to your ministry, company, or school, DM me or drop me an email at [email protected]—I’d love to chat.

About 8 years ago, when I was searching for good books and resources for my son, I was intentional to choose stories of female leaders who changed the world. That’s when I stumbled upon Dr Jane Goodall. One book led to another… and I found myself down a rabbit hole, captivated by the way she lived, the way she worked, and the difference she made.

Her words have stayed with me all these years:
✨ “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

This week, hearing of her passing at 91 — still on a speaking tour, still inspiring lives — I couldn’t help but pause in awe. What an extraordinary life of impact.

Jane changed the way we see animals.
She changed the way we see the planet.
And she changed the way we see what’s possible in a lifetime.

From her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees in Gombe, to founding the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots & Shoots, to standing before world leaders to speak about conservation and compassion — she never stopped.

And it reminds me of the kind of life I want to live too. To still be teaching, writing calligraphy for others, and coaching into my 90s… to keep showing up with empathy, curiosity, courage, and determination.

Her legacy is a reminder: one person, with heart and conviction, really can change the world. 🌍✨

💭 What difference do you want to make in your lifetime?

I was personally so moved by this episode with — especially toward the end, when she opened up so authentically.

Her story touched me deeply, and I believe it will bless many of you who may be right in the middle of a transition, yet holding back because of fear of the next steps.

From her transition in career, to becoming a creative even as a general manager and while still an involved mom,

Joanne’s testimony is a gentle reminder that the right doors often open in the most unexpected ways, and that we can trust the Lord’s hand in our journey. 🌿

Comment ‘J’ below and I’ll send the link to this episde your way.

May it bless you in this season, and perhaps bless someone you choose to share it with too :)

Motherhood. Work. Ministry. Life.

The days are full, and yet… these dear ladies, from our CGC, still make space — to grow in calligraphy, and to grow in faith.

That’s what stirred my heart to begin a little Special Conversation Series ✨ — a place to share their stories, their wisdom, and the encouragement I know will bless you too.

In this very first episode, I had the joy of sitting down with Hui Sian, our dear CGC member — a perfectionist, an introvert, and a busy mom of three… who is also a creative entrepreneur (person behind ) and calligrapher.

She shares so beautifully and honestly about weaving calligraphy into her life, making time for growth in the midst of motherhood, and the lessons she’s gathered along the way.

Her story is both practical and uplifting — and I believe it will speak to you.

💌 Comment “3” below, and I’ll send you this very first episode (one I am personally so excited to share with you). May it bless you this season. 💛

Crafted this piece while sitting beside my feverish little one, holding him close as he slept (photo taken from my POV where I sat)…

May these words bring a little healing to us, and help us really feel our own emotions—and maybe even be that safe, listening presence for someone else who needs it.

❤️,
Serene
