Dear Friends,
Over the past months, I’ve been quiet here. I didn’t feel the desire to write or share. Instead, I spent my time reading, traveling, and exploring—not only the world, but also the deepest (and darkest places) within myself. Through that journey, I discovered where the light truly was for me and found the courage to follow it.
One Shall Whisper, for almost two years, has been a place for reflection, storytelling, and connection—a space where I could share my thoughts on healing, growth, and express my creativity with both writing and art. I’ve treasured every moment of writing for you and am deeply grateful for the connections I’ve made here.
Now, it’s time for a new chapter.
My heart has always been in the art of storytelling and connection. And so, I’m bringing that passion together with my love for architecture, design, and the way spaces, and objects shape our lives. This new journey is called The OAAK Journal.
It’s a place where stories come alive—where together we explore inspiring places and spaces, meet the makers behind beautiful creations, and reflect on how thoughtful design can make us feel something inside. The website is now live, with many editorials and videos, and there are lots more to be added over the coming weeks.
The newsletter, also here on Substack, will give behind the scenes insights, interviews with brands, architects design studios, special offers and much more. Each week I will provide my own personal finds of homewares and products to bring what you love or see on the Journal into your homes and lives. You can read the first post here or visit the website directly The OAAK Journal.
For now, One Shall Whisper will remain as it is— a collection of reflections and stories from a pivotal chapter of my life. It’s part of my journey, and I hope it continues to offer something meaningful to anyone who comes across it.
My focus now moving forward however will be on the Journal — a space that combines my love for writing, architecture, design, and storytelling. I’d love for you to join me there as I step into this exciting new chapter.
Thank you for being part of this journey so far. I hope you’ll continue with me on this next one. It’s going to be grand!
With gratitude as always,
Rebecca
