Today’s story takes us to the Maritimes and the top of Mount Carlton, the highest peak in Eastern Canada, where a family hike turned into a powerful metaphor for change, challenge, and choosing the less-traveled path.It wasn’t the most obvious route — in fact, we questioned if we were even going the right way.
