What would you do if you could do anything? Back it up a bit, what would you do if you could have a months-long paid leave from work? For me, as boring as it sounds, I would probably continue doing what I am doing. For Rahel Mwitula Williams, it was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The mountain, which is 5,895 meters (19,340 feet), and is the largest free-standing mountain rise in the world, took Mwitula six days to climb. But the journey was worth it.
So you know Rahel's job, by day she works as the Director Of Innovation for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and by night she runs her own socially responsible fashion brand ILAVA.
When she was approved to take a three-month sabbatical from her day job earlier this year, instead of taking a staycation, she set her sights on tackling one of the most challenging treks in the world as an emotional reset.
And that she accomplished.
