Honest and Vulnerable: Embracing My Worth

Thank you Justine & Michael 💚

We are all wonderfully unique, gifted individuals, and yet we don't inherently know that. We tend to place our worth in the hands of others.

Our worth isn't defined by whether or not someone else loves, values or appreciates us - it's inherent. We are worthy because we are alive. We are worthy because within our heart lies an infinite capacity for compassion, kindness, and connection. We are worthy because in our vulnerability, we find our strength, and through our imperfections, we discover our humanity.

We are worthy because we are a human being in this massive, confusing, magical, surprising world. And that is reason enough to believe in something as silly – and absolutely certain – as love.

Filmed in New York City, USA.

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.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). 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.
