Have you done something out of your comfort zone that is mentally, physically, or spiritually challenging? Well in July 2018, I did just that. I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Prior to this, I had never scaled a mountain, camped, or pitched a tent, and I was paralyzingly afraid of heights. My reaching the summit was nothing short of extraordinary. It would not have happened without the guidance, encouragement, and support of the Sherpas, three close friends, and support personnel who made sure we had what we needed to prepare for each of the next stages throughout the climb. They had climbed the mountain thousands of times, and without their knowledge and expertise of the mountain, I never would have successfully summited. But that's a story for another time.
