Dear neighbors,

The world is waking up again—sunlight lasts a little longer, flowers are stretching toward the sky, and the energy around us feels new and full of possibility. Welcome to the May edition of Stroll Bermuda Run, where every page reflects the heartbeat of this beautiful community we share.

This month holds two occasions close to my heart. First, Mother’s Day—a time to honor the women who raise us, guide us, and inspire us with their grace and grit. Whether you’re a mom yourself or you’re loving someone who is, I hope you take a moment this month to pause and celebrate the strength, tenderness, and unwavering love that motherhood brings.

Later, we observe Memorial Day, a solemn and powerful reminder of those who gave everything in service to our country. As the world around us blooms, it feels especially fitting to reflect on their sacrifice and the legacy they’ve left behind.

Last month, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Soup at Thai Destiny, along with Carrie McGuire, Candie Casey, and Carrie Clemmer, on a heartfelt fundraiser for Bermuda Run Cares. It was an evening full of connection, generosity, and purpose. I was also so thankful to collaborate with John Jones, Brandy Melton, and Madi Guthrie, who helped tell the incredible story of Dr. Gene Hooks and Dr. Caryl Guth, and our time in the Japanese Gardens—a serene and unforgettable moment I’ll always treasure.

Supporting our local businesses and working alongside our amazing residents is truly one of the great joys of my life. Whether it’s helping a business grow or sharing a story that inspires, this magazine is built on those connections.

Inside this issue, you’ll find more of what makes our community so special—neighbor spotlights, event recaps, and plenty of heart. I’m grateful every day for our loyal business partners who make this publication possible. Please support them whenever you can—they’re a vital part of Stroll Bermuda Run.

Thank you for continuing to be part of this journey with me. You are the reason this magazine continues to flourish, just like everything around us this season.

With gratitude and joy,
Stephanie Wilson Hearn
