It happens often that you must cut your article for space reasons. Luckily, I can fix it here and quote this beautiful message from my interview with Nicole Dawson Cullinan: "We are interconnected with nature and are part of it. The first thing I felt was how sterile even the most biodiverse and wild spots are compared to South Africa. When nature outside suffers, so does our inner ecosystem or microbiome and health. We can adopt many practices to support our local ecosystem and improve its biodiversity, which environmentalists and other experts recommend. We must focus on our local ecosystem as much as possible because the remedies for our illnesses and maladies often lie around us, such as the plants and weeds in our immediate environment." 💚

The move to photography in advertisements did not stunt artistic innovation. This Favre-Leuba example from 1964 makes good use of multiple overlaid images to evoke the motion inside a watch. #history #richardrobertsarchive #advertisement #archive #historypreserved #stockport #heritage #manchester #research #printadvertising

Portraits capture the character of who we are, showing a level of raw temperament and emotion. 📸 They are more than just images; they’re a powerful form of self-expression.

Empathy helps us to connect with one another, show care, understanding, and compassion. I also feel that when we look outside of ourselves it creates a more respectful environment. We become more aware of how the way we move through the world impacts others. We become aware that others may be struggling and need support and help rather than judgement and derision. Connecting with others has some positive side effects, it can decrease depression and anxiety, increase longevity, improve our immune systems and help us regulate our emotions, which in turn aids with increasing self-esteem. #mentalhealth #empathy #compassion
