More Feature Stories
Florida felt like a hundred different stories woven together by light. Mornings opened slow—palm shadows on the sidewalk, the scent of salt and citrus in the air. Some days were for soft Gulf tides and seashells in my pocket; others, for gardens and galleries and pastel towns that seemed to glow from within. I remember thinking, “This place doesn’t ask you to rush—it just invites you to stay awhile.”
What stayed with me were the small, golden moments: a boardwalk just before rain, the hush of a spring-fed river, a café porch strung with lights where time felt far away. I wandered from quiet coasts to artful corners, from tropical trails to tucked-away bakeries, and I left feeling slower, softer—like Florida had handed me back a piece of calm I didn’t know I’d lost.
