Beauty is the new office supply.

Once upon a time, I was an engineer.

Most of the time, I liked – and even loved – my work. From the outside, life was good; I should have been happy & contented.

Only I wasn’t happy & contented.

There was a current of longing, a restlessness, a nagging sense of disquiet always running below the surface.

It felt like something was missing in my life – something important – and I couldn’t put my finger on it.

I wish I could convey how confusing & frustrating it was to always feel like something was missing.

I tried to fill the hole: with people, with activities. That didn’t work.

I tried to ignore the hole. That didn’t work either.

I thought it meant that I had to change everything.

But changing everything is a daunting prospect, and none of my ideas ever felt quite right, so I would eventually go back to ignoring it.

I did this for ten years.

The thing I know now, that I didn’t know then, is that something was missing.

The long hours + stress + busy days made it easy to forget all the parts of me that I didn’t need in order to do my work. They slipped further and further away from me.

Eventually, I forgot they were ever important at all.

If I could go back in time, I would do one thing: I would bring in beauty.

Beauty is neither a luxury nor a frivolity.

Beauty is a need.

Beauty can feel like a long cool deep life-giving drink to parts of us that we didn’t even realize were dying of thirst.

Do you resonate with me-of-then? If so, I created something just for you.

I call it Images to Go.

You might call it a drink, a pause, a breath ~ of beauty.

Images to Go is a collection of five digital images.

Think of it as fast food for the soul, only wholesome + nourishing + good for you.

It’s a ridiculously easy way to bring beauty into your day. No long hours + stress + hard work required.

These are digital images, to give you the widest array of options.

Use the images as a computer background or screensaver.

Print the images (on paper or photo paper) and tack them along a row of cubicles.

Have prints made (at your favorite photo printing place) and frame them for your office.

(You get the original files. They’re all 3008×2000 pixels, in case you care about such things.)

Throughout your day, whenever you need a break, pause and look at an image.

Maybe you’ll be inspired with an idea or a solution.
Maybe you’ll feel calmer & more rested.
Maybe you’ll have a burst of clarity & focus.
Maybe you’ll straighten your spine and breathe more slowly & deeply, even for a second.

Maybe you’ll discover that you do have time after all.

The images again, all together.

Are you ready to add a dose of beauty to your work day?

Yay!

Because if beauty isn’t the new office supply, it should be.
