Jorge,
It is with much love that I write this note. You are TRULY an inspiration. Your courage to take this journey and grab life by the “you know whats” inspires and amazes me. I love love love you so much. You are a brave warrior, my friend, and I am grateful to you for sharing the journey with us. Please wrap yourself in our love and WHOOP it up out there in the Great Wide Open.
We will be here with open arms when you return. Promise you will share your stories with Max as he grows into a young man.
ps~ I heard your landscape looks AMAZING! 🙂 Matt wants me to tell you that the “New Earth” is his awakening and he thanks you for that.
Jorge,
Your journey is one of inspiration and strength. I enjoy checking in on you to see where you are headed next. Thank you for sharing this experience of self freedom and so much more with us. My thoughts and love are with you. Ride safely through your voyage.
With love,
Stephanie
ps- I’m a teacher now…and loving it. (you so knew it)
It’s been a while since I checked in, and it is good to see that you are doing well. THE CLERMONT LOUNGE!!!! You did a great job describing that experience. It reminds me of my days in Atlanta when we would take our dates to the Clermont for dinner and some dancing. Ask Mel about the Clermont. I actually took her there once. Reading your blog about Georgia is bringing back many memories for me, and I am glad you are getting to experience some of my favorite spots. I grew up on The Varsity, and Anna Ruby Falls is amazing.
Anyways, it is great to read about your journey, and I can not wait to see what you come across next. Stay safe.
Dear Jorge,
I only knew Beth briefly. She was my roommate and classmate when at Train the Trainer in NJ in April 2007. We spoke several times after that, throwing around the idea of visiting each other and perhaps planning a youth program together. I can only remember her deep passion for designing programs that empowered children and families. She would talk about the workshops you and she were about to roll out. She was on fire, so filled with light and love. She even gave me some of those gel packs (it’s time to admit I never tried them!) and she turned me on to the idea that ‘passive income is smart not selfish!’ When I spoke to Troy this past New Year’s and he told me about Beth’s passing, I stopped moving, I couldn’t find my breath, I thought he was lying. I even thought, “Sh*t, I think Beth called me in October or early November and I never called her back because life got ‘too busy'”. I didn’t know what to do with myself, so I asked Troy for your phone number, and I called you, and I think I left a message but I can’t even remember now. Maybe I didn’t leave you my number, and I never called you back. It’s almost like I didn’t want to know what really happened… and to know she was pregnant… oh my God, I think I never gave myself the chance to truly grieve. Here I am, after midnight on a Saturday night in mid July, thinking about Beth and about you, and how precious life is. Thank you Troy for sending me this site and for allowing me to heal by facing what was incomplete for me. Jorge, drive safely and with adventure by your side. I wish you peace and possibility, now and always. You have a friend in Massachusetts. Love, Amy
So glad to know that all is well with you and that you are having a great time! May this be a journey of hope and peace for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers always (and I know Pepe’s too).
All our love, and godspeed on your safe return home.
