Nature is medicine to a louder mind
In Nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.

The Cliffs of Moher
Visiting the Cliffs of Moher is the highlight of most people’s trip to Ireland and cannot be missed. Unfortunately, we visited on a rainy, misty day (most days in Ireland) and apparently the views on a sunny day are even more extraordinary. We enjoyed walking through the development and experiencing the sites and sounds of the Cliffs of Moher. On the way, as throughout Ireland, we saw the sheeps and cows enjoying the green of the Emerald Isle.

The Biggest Snowstorm in Years Could Dump 2 Feet or More of Snow in Some Places
A major snowstorm is expected to sweep across much of the Northeast by midweek, unleashing the biggest snowstorm in years. Snowfall levels are expected to be measured in feet in some inland areas as winds flare up and create near-blizzard conditions for parts of the region from late Wednesday through Thursday morning.

NATURE GIVES HUMAN PEACE
Can there be anything more lovely than the beauty of hot pink sunrises to burning orange sunsets? Glooms of night, sparkling water droplets on leaves, wandering clouds, snowy raindrops and fading rainbows within the blue sky, blooming flowers full of colors. So, What we find and sense in nature? In ancient times when Greek philosophers started observing nature, they demonstrated and examined each aspect of nature and life and its relation with the human. They used to observe small details about nature and used to think about its connection with the human. So when we are surrounded by nature, why are we attracted towards it? What’s the virtual connection between human and nature? From that time till now man is truly pleased by the existence of nature. “People are discussing their genuine experiences in nature for the last several 100 years—from Thoreau to John Muir to many other writers,” says researcher David Strayer, of the University of Utah. According to environmental psychology, nature incorporates a meaningful role in human development and conduct. It believes that nature features a vital contribution to the way we expect, feel, and behave with others. Scientists are starting to find evidence that being in nature incorporates a profound impact on our brains and our behavior. Some important Benefits of Being in Nature that gives human peace to his mind, body, health and as well as soul too.

Tree-Hugging is Real and It Works
Will you believe me if I tell you that feeling lonely is the social equivalent of feeling physical pain? Studies have shown that it even accelerates the same pathways in the brain that are involved in processing emotional responses to physical pain. How can this be possible? What does that mean?

Seeking Seals, Whales, and Sasquatch
The beauty of retirement is freedom even if the pockets are low on cash. Simple things don’t require a lot of money. Hiking only requires resourcefulness. And the beauty of hiking is that it doesn’t have to wait for Coronavirus to “disappear.” But to enjoy the city life along the way as I prefer to, it will be best to wait for things to get back to the old normal. Maybe by then it won’t require a mask for public places.

Escape. Top Story - December 2020.
Surroundings The wind whispering, the night sky filled with stars, and the sound of being alone. In Hagerstown, Maryland, these three things were hard to come by. They were especially difficult to enjoy as the sounds of my latest arguments with my stepmother echoed in my ear. Her constant criticism affected me greatly, and being outside subsided my insecurities she’d placed in my head. I would feel complete as I gazed out into the night, at least for a little while.

Enjoy the Free Gifts Life Has to Offer
I Never Appreciated It As I Should Nature is the most beautiful and relaxing way to destress, and it is free! Too often we take life for granted. Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates it. I used to be one of those people. When my husband and I got married, we rented an apartment in a condo at the beach in Puerto Rico. Back then, I did not think it was a big deal. Puerto Rico is surrounded by beautiful beaches, which are easily accessible from anywhere on the island. But other than to dip our feet in the water every few months, we did nothing else at the beach and we lived there for a year.

Walking Through the Woods is Good for Your Health
Last weekend I made a very long walk through the woods in the neighborhood, with my husband and with my daughters. Also, last week I went to walk too with my husband a lot, every night before going to bed. I had such a lovely time walking through the woods in my neighborhood.

What A Mountain Can Teach You
I recently got home from visiting my sister is Nanaimo, BC. It was a short yet beautiful visit, full of laughs, some cries, and a shit ton of hikes and trail walks. One day we decided to hike up Mount Benson, which is about 1050 m high, a decent excursion for a novice hiker. I was looking forward to the work out, of course. What I didn't realize is that I would be getting so much more.

A rock-climbing trip to Baile Herculane
It was in Romania in a ghost town called Baile Herculane. Back in the Soviet Era, it was a popular and luxurious holiday destination. It is a strange town, really. Comprised of tall concrete hotels—relics from soviet times—, even older classical palace-like buildings eaten by rust with broken windows and keep-out signs, wild dogs, rusty bridges over the Cerna river, and aging locals with unmistakable features. It was a slow and isolated microcosm, a place outside of time. Cupped between the palms of enormous stone hands.
