Sunday Scroll #16
a Netflix movie you can't miss, a dog who might be a cow, and Post Malone
Happy Sunday everyone! Whether you’re wrapping up work or working on wrapping up gifts, I hope this Sunday Scroll gives you a few positive and quiet minutes to yourself today.
This is 54: Elizabeth Gilbert on Oldster. A fascinating read. I absolutely love Liz’s writing. Check out her Substack too: Letters From Love with Elizabeth Gilbert
Did you know the last installment of The Crown released this week? In case you wonder what I’m doing right now, I’m probably neck deep in gift wrapping binge watching this.
This pup has a lot of new friends… who think he is a cow.
Boy moms, dare you to watch this music video and not cry.
Leave the World Behind. O. M. G. Have you watched it? Read it? I watched it on Netflix this week. And I spent the entire 2+ hours with the covers pulled up to my eyes. It was so so so good. Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon. Need I say more? I’ve heard the book is a little different. Apparently because of the writers strike, much of the movie is actually ad-libbed. Anyway, dive in. It’s quite a story.
What do you love about the way you look? I just love this so much. I like my skin… and my eyes. They’re blue with light amber / green in the middle. You?
I just finished The Girl Before. Great mystery. Couldn’t stop listening our entire trip to and from Gatlinburg. Apparently there’s a movie!
How to create your own year in review. (The Harvard Business Review)
This was the most fun thing that happened last week. My friend’s daughter, Lauren, is an insanely talented artist and student at SCAD. She painted this unbelievable painting of Post Malone. We were trying to find a way to get it in front of him so I posted to my IG stories. Long story short, friends of Bryan actually KNEW him and were able to get it in front of him. THE NEXT DAY. And Post Malone sent her this video! So cool!
