The Elixir ← The Elixir

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

And the older I get..

The more I realise some of the simplest things in life have brought me the most joy.

A great book.

A great film.

A conversation that stays with you.

A piece of music you keep coming back to.

So this week, I wanted to share some of mine.

These recommendations have earned their place.

I’ve watched, read or listened to them at least 10 times.

I find myself recommending them over and over again.

They’ve left me thinking for days, sometimes weeks.

Some brought a tear to my eye.

Some inspired me to take action.

Some simply brought enormous joy when shared with someone I love.

This isn’t a list of things I liked.

It’s a list of things that stayed with me.

Direct links to everything below.
