August 20 Guest Michelle Phaup

EZ and Gravity have been wonderful hosts. They welcomed us into their "home" with a zen energy that is admired. It's obvious that they have been away from the normal stress that most of us face daily. Some of us may even refer to it as the stress of the "real world". I think the only stress they MAY face is walking in the wrong direction. Which of course happened with me since I don't have "trail legs". (Maybe Gravity will explain)

Today we drove the Auto Road (the steepest road I've ever seen) to the summit of Mt Washington. We were fortunate to have clear views at the top. More than 60 percent of the time, weather affects the vistas. The views were amazing. It's true, this is a place to have on your bucket list.

Yesterday's 10 mile hike on Mt. Moosilauke was the highlight of my stay. A day hike with these two was energizing, fun, and grounding. What a way to get centered! We had perfect weather, a great climb, and incredible views.

I've known these two for years and the positive changes that I can see with them are remarkable. They're physically fit with solid leg muscles, and they're "present", thoroughly enjoying each other and each moment.

EZ and Gravity's commitment, discipline, and tenacity have inspired me to revisit my own dreams and aspirations.

I'm grateful for the memories we created together. Thank you for everything! With love, prayers, and blessings.
