Finding my Edge On Nelson's Ledge Garrettsville Ohio Quarry Cliff Jumping
An unexpected find in the Amish Country of Ohio you'll find everything from cliff jumping and camping to music festivals and being from California I can only explain the atmosphere as akin to Reggae on the River with opportunities to attend weekend festivals, enjoy a multitude of cuisine choices from food trucks and stalls where you can shop for everything from clothing to jewelry and people that are fun young and vibrant a perfect place to memorialize my nephew Gabriel who committed suicide at 21 it was a place where the owner gave me a magic jug necklace and told me to uncork it and do something everyday which would make my nephew smile.
Sending it for Gabo
Living to #Sendit for those who can't
My Nephew Gabo was no more on May 6, 2018, and I was not allowed to grieve his loss publicly on May 19, 2018 with "the family" so if they didn't want me? Fuck them!

Winding my way through the backroads of Ohio I put the jeep in park and headed down the long trail to the jump Site.
It had been 66 days of grieving my nephew alone, but in the past four years? I've discovered that's the way it works when your father and brother are a couple of sadistic narcissists's who will cooperate with your sociopathic ex and try to objectify you like you're their personal bank account. You're overdrawn dude's and you've overstepped the bounds of humanity, but really? Was I going to let the "Willitts/Falk" trap entrap me? Gabe was free, liberated in death, and now nobody can stop me from loving and connecting with my nephew in my way. It's my belief that when those we love die? They aren't in some faraway heaven. They are in our heart. Gabe is dead and Gabe is Love and as long as I'm alive? I will keep a promise I made to him July 23, 2018!
I had already made a life altering decision at Tony Robbins. My life wasn't less valuable than my nephew's. I could not trade places. All I had now were 3 Powerful incantations I'd taken away from Chicago Bulls Stadium and brought with me to Ohio quarries.
I Will lead not Follow!
I Will Defy the Odds!!
It wasn't until after I had done my #sendit for Gabe and I was wandering the stalls wondering what I should give myself to remind myself of my nephew. It had been 13 long years since I'd seen him in life, and now he was dead and I was told not to attend his memorial by the narcissist brother who said my appearance there would be "awkward" I had gotten no closure on the West, and perhaps the owner of the park had intuited that when we had a conversation about Gabe and she gave me a gift I still have to this day. A blue glass jug with a cork. She told me: "uncork that jug for your nephew and everyday that you are alive? Do something that would make your nephew smile :) So began my own adventure to life. It's been painful, and wrought with much abuse over the last four plus years, but if there's a positive in a negative? I've kept my promise. #adventureongabe
Consider this day sent!
After you #sendit make sure you munch
