Finland is the only country I know that has a word for spring changing its mind. Takatalvi, literally back-winter, is when spring decides it's not ready and dumps 10cm of snow on you...in April.

In Switzerland, some phone booths are starting a new chapter. 📚 For #WorldBookDay, take a look at this former phone booth, now transformed into a little free library where anyone can leave a book and take one for free. ♻️📖

Un livre peut changer nos vies. Il peut nous ouvrir de nouveaux mondes, bousculer nos certitudes, mettre des mots sur ce qu'on ne savait pas exprimer. Jeudi est la Journée mondiale du livre ! 📚 unesco.org/fr/days/world-…

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans. Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live. Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it. Go outside. Look at the sky. Feel the sun. Just be. Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love. Laugh more. Write a note. Tell someone you love them. Complain less. Give more. Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy. Be present. Put your phone down. Show up - really show up. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life. Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to. And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever. Thank you for reading this. Live your life well. And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.” Holly 🩷 Repost & share Holly’s important advice. ❤️

Today we celebrate far more than just a place 🌍 We celebrate the balance that sustains us, the life that surrounds us, and everything that makes our daily lives possible. Protecting the Earth is a shared and urgent responsibility 💚 #EarthDay

Roma è stata la culla della civiltà occidentale, è un museo a cielo aperto, è cultura e memoria, un patrimonio che continua ispirare il presente. È la Capitale della nostra meravigliosa Italia.
