April 22nd. Earth-Day

April 22nd. Earth-Day.🌎

Sitting here, at 74, a lifetime of travel swirling in my mind. ✈️🛳️🧳

Wild-Places 

From the crystal-clear glaciers of Alaska to the vibrant coral reefs of the Caribbean. To witness the migration of the wildebeests and zebras on the vast African Serengeti plains. 🐂🐆 .I've been lucky enough to witness this planet's incredible beauty firsthand.

Bucket-list-adventures 

But today, Earth Day, it hits me a little differently. All those memories - the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro,🏔️ the roar of Victoria Falls🖼️ - come with a pang of responsibility. I've seen the changes, the glaciers shrinking, the coral bleaching. 

Magnificent-Planet

It's a wake-up call, a reminder that this magnificent planet needs our care. It's lime to write a love letter to our earth and mean it and commit to doing our part in preserving wild places.

Travel wasn't just about ticking places off a list; it was about appreciating the wild, the untouched, the breathtaking. And that's why Earth Day matters so much. It's about ensuring those places are there for future generations.

Stewardship

More than ever, I feel the weight of stewardship. 👬👭👭

We have a responsibility to protect these wonders, these wild creatures,🐆🦏🐘🦁 for all to experience. It might not be about hopping on a plane anymore, but it's about making conscious choices, supporting conservation efforts, and spreading the word.

This Earth Day, I don't just reminisce about the beauty I've seen, I recommit to being a better steward. This planet, our shared home, deserves nothing less.

Love to our planet,

Sharon
