The Beauty of Slowing Down and Paying Attention

Here’s a good thing you need to know: there’s magic in the everyday, if only we stop to notice it. Jamie Solomon’s book, When Our Lives Intersect - Celebrating Ten Years in Fraser’s Hill is a gentle reminder of that—a little nudge to slow down, breathe, and let nature show us what really matters. Inspired by her 30 visits over 10 years to Fraser’s Hill, Jamie weaves together personal stories, quiet moments, and reflections that feel like catching up with an old friend. It’s a book about finding beauty in life’s small intersections, reconnecting with ourselves, and remembering that sometimes, the simplest things are the most meaningful. Jamie joins us to share more about her book, her love for nature, her connection to Frasers Hill, and the joys of journaling.
