Thank you. Justine & Michael 💚

Time, when approached with gentleness, doesn’t have to be something we resist. It can become a steady companion, offering a quieter kind of beauty — one that isn’t about appearance or achievement, but about depth and authenticity. As we grow older, our priorities shift, our understanding deepens, and there’s often a greater sense of ease in simply being who we are.

The passing years don’t take away who we are, they often bring us closer to it. Rather than chasing youth or regretting its passing, there is value in settling into ourselves more fully. When we stop measuring life by what we should be or do, we begin to recognise the richness of where we already are.

Featuring Annie Norgarb.
Filmed in McGregor, South Africa.

This is the second film that we've made together with Annie. In case you missed the first one, you can see it here -    • The Secret to a Beautiful Life? It's Ordinary  

All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael. We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy. If you’d like to consider purchasing your copy, shop here - https://tgc.link/reflections

You can also sign up to take part in the Reflections of Life Intentional Journey, receiving a digital copy of each card direct to your email, over a consecutive 52 day period - https://www.inous.org/reflections-of-...
