What happens when you give something familiar your full attention?
Not to appreciate it.
Not to change it.
Not to decide what it means.
Just to notice.
Familiarity has an interesting way of making things disappear. Not literally. We simply stop noticing what is always there—the ordinary things we pass, the familiar things we use, even the people who have become part of the rhythm of our lives.
Look Again is a quiet, 6-page guided reflection built around one simple invitation:
Notice what is there now.
You'll begin with something ordinary.
Then you'll look again at something familiar.
Then someone.
And from there...
something changes.
There are no answers to find and no conclusions you're expected to reach.
This is not an affirmation journal.
It is not a gratitude exercise.
It is not about fixing yourself.
It's an invitation to slow your attention long enough to notice what familiarity may have hidden.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
• 6-page printable guided reflection
• Simple, progressive noticing exercises
• A final “Something to Try” invitation so you can return to the practice again
• Instant digital PDF download
No journal is required. No special supplies are needed. Print the pages, find a quiet few minutes, and begin.
You can complete the experience at once or move through it slowly.
And when you're finished?
Come back another day.
Don't look for what you found before.
Notice what is there now.

They encounter new situations, difficult decisions, friendship problems, changes, worries, and questions they may not have an answer to.
As adults, our instinct is often to help them find the answer.
But what about the times when there isn't one yet?
My “I Don’t Know What to Do” Box was created around one very simple idea:
Sometimes, it’s okay not to know.
When a child has something on their mind and simply doesn't know what to do, they can write it on one of the included cards, place it inside the box, close the lid and click the latch.
For now, they can leave it there.
They don't have to solve it immediately. They don't have to choose the perfect answer. They don't even have to know when they'll come back to it.
They can give themselves, and their thoughts, a little room.
Maybe an answer comes later.
Maybe they decide to ask someone for help.
Maybe the problem doesn't seem quite as big tomorrow.
Maybe they still don't know.
That's okay, too.
The included mini booklet gently walks children through the practice of putting something away for a little while and coming back to it when they're ready.
Each Set Includes
One handmade wooden keepsake box with metal latch
My “I Don’t Know What to Do” Box mini booklet
Writing cards for questions, decisions, problems, thoughts, or anything else they don't quite know what to do with yet
Made to Grow With Them
The wooden box was intentionally kept simple.
No characters. No bright colors. No design they'll outgrow.
It looks at home on a child's bookshelf today and a teenager's nightstand years from now. And because nothing on the outside announces its purpose, what they choose to put inside can remain quietly theirs.
The little metal latch is more than a finishing touch.
Write it down.
Put it inside.
Close the lid.
Click.
Done for now.
Because learning how to solve problems is important.
But perhaps there is another lesson worth carrying into adulthood:
Not knowing doesn't have to be an emergency.
Sometimes the answer is simply...
I don't know yet.
Available in three sizes, each box is individually hand-sanded and sealed for a smooth, natural finish. Choose the simplicity of the natural wood interior or add a soft velvet liner for a more traditional keepsake feel.

You notice the meaning.

A conversation.
A sunrise.
A cup of coffee.
A quiet prayer.
A laugh.

Simple Truths
Simple Truths begins with human experience.It invites curiosity without requiring certainty.
A person doesn't have to know what they believe to begin. It helps people become more aware of themselves, others, and the ordinary moments in every day.
The Prayer Collection
The Prayer Collection begins with relationship with God. It isn't primarily about understanding yourself. It's about opening yourself to God.
Prayer is the practice. Relationship is the goal
-
In the beginning, the main focus was creating tools for prayer, but it gradually uncovered a broader mission: helping people live with greater awareness, compassion, and intention. As that philosophy matured, it naturally expanded into caregiving through Pockets of Time. Rather than creating a separate brand, Pockets of Time became the expression of JBCo's belief that meaningful lives are built through ordinary moments of connection. Whether we are noticing ourselves, noticing God, or noticing another person, the invitation remains the same: pause, pay attention, and discover the meaning already present.
Pockets of Time is a person centered focus memory care system. By noticing the person before the task, effort shifts from “doing” to meaningful moments of connection.
Simple truths are what guide us through life. We create practices to help you slow down to notice and space to explore your truths.

Our Blogs are written spontaneously. Inspiration comes in many forms and are used not only to be shared but as a journey of self discovery of the authors as well.
We appreciate feedback and welcome questions , comments, and suggestions. When you send us an email, you will receive a thoughtful response.
Our Story
Our journey has been anything but ordinary. The path looks different than first imagined but has illuminated dark where we did not notice it, and allowed for growth and a deeper understanding of meaning and purpose. Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and sense of purpose expressed through making space, time, and openness for connection.

Looking Through a Tiny Window, The Museum, and Look Again are short, repeatable micro-moments of reflection. Each one guides you or your child on a journey of noticing with a fresh perspective where you will most certainly learn more about the world around you and yourself.

Pockets of Time™
A Meaningful Engagement System for Adult Family Homes
Connection doesn't require more time. It requires a different way of using the time you already have.
Pockets of Time is a practical engagement system designed specifically for Adult Family Homes, helping caregivers naturally weave meaningful moments into the care they are already providing.
Rather than adding another task to an already busy day, Pockets of Time transforms everyday routines—getting dressed, sharing meals, settling in for the evening, or simply sitting together—into opportunities for connection, purpose, and belonging.
Built around the belief that a person's need for connection does not disappear because they need care, this system helps caregivers see the person before the task.

Does prayer end when we say “Amen”
Our guided practices gently simplify what we often think of as “prayer time.”
Instead of following a fixed order, read, pray, then move on, these practices invite prayer to unfold naturally. You might begin with stillness, with a question, with Scripture, or with what’s already on your heart. There is no required sequence and no right way to start.
Each practice offers light structure and faith-centered prompts to support listening, reflection, and trust, helping prayer move from a set time into a lived, ongoing conversation with God.
Prayer is a unique expression of thoughts and feelings. Our guided practices are meant to help you learn yours.
