๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐น๐น, when I asked my son ๐๐ป๐๐ผ about his goals for the school year, one of them surprised me: โI want to hike a mountain.โ
This weekend, alongside his friends and their moms, we set out to make that happen. At 4 a.m., we began our ascent, and 8 hours later, we had summited two of Coloradoโs tallest mountains โ Grays Peak (14,270 ft, #10) and Torreys Peak (14,267 ft, #11). โฐ๏ธ
What struck me most wasnโt just the physical accomplishment, but the ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ it carried. Too many of us stay at โbase campโ in our lives โ comfortable, safe, familiar. But fulfillment comes when we decide to climb, step by step, toward our ๐๐๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ โ our goals, our dreams, our highest potential.
Watching these young men push through challenge, support one another, and light up with pride reminded me: the summit is never just about the mountain. Itโs about courage, resilience, and the decision to go beyond comfort.
To Enzo, his friends, and my fellow moms: ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ of what we achieved together. โค๏ธ
A special thank you to our amazing guides, .
