I return to this place time and again and it never fails to work its peaceful charm on me. When the sun shines and the light hits the leaves and the water I find it soothing and exhilarating. I cannot be anything other than calm and full of joy.

I hope everyone has a place like this where they can be alone and know what the world can be. This place is about 300 metres away from a bustling car park. I have never met a soul here.

Update from Kharkiv 🇺🇦

I just received word that the ⛑️tourniquets I sent were added to first aid kits—and they’re now with the heroes of the 44th Brigade.

This is one of five batches I’ve sent to friends across Lviv, Kyiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv. 🇺🇸Since 2022, I’ve supported Ukraine both as a humanitarian volunteer and from home. That promise continues.

You are not forgotten.

👉🏽 I just received a photo from Ukraine—three defenders holding the tourniquets I mailed, sharing their thanks. This is one of five batches I've sent to my friends across Lviv, Kyiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv.

⛑️Since 2022, I’ve supported as both a humanitarian volunteer on the ground and from home—standing with the people of Ukraine every step of the way. That promise continues.

🇺🇦 Kherson, this is for you.

📦I just mailed a package of CAT-7 tourniquets, a U.S. flag🇺🇸, and a card honoring my friend Oleg—a humanitarian volunteer killed while delivering aid. Since 2022, I’ve stood with the people of Ukraine. That promise continues.

You are not forgotten.🕊️
