The Great Outdoors of Florida ~Summer of COVID~

By | Discover a Richer World Outdoors | No Comments

Have you ever set your alarm for 5 am, thrown on a sweatshirt and hiked to a place where you can watch the sun rise and enjoy a thermos of coffee while the world wakes up? Or hiked a creek in sandals and stopped to watch the water just run over your feet, turn over rocks for crayfish or take pictures of flowers along the banks?

If this brings back fond memories of simpler, childhood days, it’s not too late to live them again.

On the afternoon of Saturday, May 30, I marched. I was grateful for the right to protest, and unhappy that we had cause to do so. I joined my family, thousands of people in my community and across our nation and the world to stand up and be counted as an ally of Black and Brown people everywhere. The protest was Black-led, it was youth-led, it was peaceful, it was inspiring, it was as diverse as America.
