A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes.
\nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers, bryophytes, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown.<\/p>\n
Over the last 80 years, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants, lower levels of grazing, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown, rare wildlife has declined.<\/p>\n
The day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay.<\/p>\n
Sands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT\/UK\/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The \u00a34 million project, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW), will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes, across four Special Areas of Conservation, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding.<\/p>\n
Dynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT\/UK\/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England, Plantlife, Natural Resources Wales, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme.

of the Seafarer 2024","description":"
June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer, an annual and international event day coordinated by the International Maritime Organisation.
\nLast year’s Day of the Seafarer celebrated seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone. This year the Day will recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade, the world economy and civil society as a whole, with the theme Seafarers Matter’.<\/p>\n
The day recognises the unique and vital role of seafarers in the global community, and the United Nations recognise the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day.<\/p>\n
The Day of the Seafarer was established in 2010 by by a resolution adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila. The revised International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers, for their safety, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this. The convention’s aim was to recognise the contribution by seafarers to society and economy globally.<\/p>\n
The resolution encourages governments, shipping firms, companies associated with sea trade and others, to promote and uphold sea trade and seafarers through the Day of the Seafarer.<\/p>\n
The day encourages international public and official conversation about seafarers and seafaring, and the well-being of those involved in it, and interactive media relating to the Day of the Seafarer has proved extremely popular around the world, for example quizzes and interactive maps, videos and photo galleries, and social media hashtags and discussions. The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online.<\/p>\n
Leading up to the 25 June, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"day-of-the-seafarer-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2.jpg","id":49778,"extension":"jpg","width":2560,"height":1440,"filesize":364898,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":169,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12612,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-300x169.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":86075,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1024x576.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6982,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":432,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":54565,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-768x432.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":864,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":163746,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1536x864.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1152,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":252831,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-2048x1152.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":30924,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15699,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":52637,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2452,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":113,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6787,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-200x113.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":225,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":19687,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-400x225.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":338,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":37471,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-600x338.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":450,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":59188,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-800x450.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":675,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":111554,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1200x675.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":55289,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27310,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27634,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15469,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7570,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-06-25

Catfish Day in the USA 2024","description":"
No, this has absolutely nothing to do with MTV, the internet or dating. This unsurprisingly has everything to do with catfish! Perhaps one of the lesser known days of recognition and celebration, National Catfish Day has assisted the continued growth of this specific type of aqua farming across the USA.
\nJune 25 is National Catfish Day in the USA. The holiday was designated by President Ronald Reagan on June 25 in 1987. National Catfish Day celebrates the value of farm-raised fish.<\/p>\n
Originally the commemorative bill was proposed by Congressmen Mike Epsy, who having recognised the industry as growing in his home state, endeavoured to encourage the growth of the industry further afield. Catfish were not a popular choice of delicacy at the time. Although initially the bill was unsuccessful, Mr Epsy garnered support from fellow congressmen and was also able, by providing the best catfish luncheons to military leaders, to ensure catfish was added to the military commissary menu. As a result his popularity at election time grew in his home state, thanks to the increase in demand for catfish, as did support for the bill. The text of the Proclamation by President Ronald Reagan, illustrates the boom in the industry, the increase in sales and the innovative methods developed to ensure the highest standards were met.<\/p>\n

Beaches Week 2024","description":"
An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge.<\/p>\n
In 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent.<\/p>\n
Known as the Earth Day for beaches, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups, art fairs, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment.<\/p>\n
The coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore.<\/p>\n
1. Leave no trace (what you carry in, carry out)<\/p>\n
2. Move your body (walk, run or swim)<\/p>\n
3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru)<\/p>\n
4. Know your limits (swim, surf and boat safely)<\/p>\n
5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood)<\/p>\n
6. Feed your mind. (read a book)<\/p>\n
7. Respect the Ocean (riptides, storms, natural resources)<\/p>\n
The Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote.<\/p>\n
The 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"clean-beaches-week-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1.jpg","id":52788,"extension":"jpg","width":2121,"height":1414,"filesize":243241,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15162,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-300x200.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":683,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":105024,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-1024x683.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6932,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":65916,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-768x512.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":197022,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-1536x1024.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1365,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":306523,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-2048x1365.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":33094,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":16103,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":54651,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2426,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":133,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":8281,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-200x133.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":267,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":23767,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-400x267.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":44664,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-600x400.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":533,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":71053,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-800x533.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":800,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":133907,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-1200x800.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":57360,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":29162,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":28631,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15709,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7621,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-177x142.jpg"},"cmplz_banner_image":{"width":350,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":9608,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1399151414-1-350x100.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-07-01

A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues
\nJuly 11th every year is World Population Day. This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues.<\/p>\n
The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion.<\/p>\n
In 1968, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation, adopted during the conference, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children.<\/p>\n
Millions of women, globally, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"world-population-day-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_.jpg","id":54227,"extension":"jpg","width":2130,"height":1428,"filesize":989207,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":201,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":37579,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-300x201.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":687,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":300450,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-1024x687.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15045,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":515,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":189861,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-768x515.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1030,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":560491,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-1536x1030.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1373,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":851036,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-2048x1373.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":90681,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":39703,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":153328,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":3551,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":134,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":17640,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-200x134.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":268,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":62332,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-400x268.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":402,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":126016,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-600x402.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":536,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":201954,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-800x536.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":805,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":385395,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-1200x805.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":165330,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":78301,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":76377,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":39525,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":16633,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1357524756-1-scaled-e1687789133214-p7PIVB.tmp_-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-07-11

In the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment.<\/p>\n
