By sharing your experiences you kinda bring a whole lot of people along with you. Amazing to think that after such a short time, you're already so far. My thoughts are with you each day. Enjoy every second of this life-changing adventure.<br />Mal<br />Emerald VictoriaMalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-80564877657259554272009-10-29T13:13:48.124+10:002009-10-29T13:13:48.124+10:00Jess,

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again...; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat"<br /><br />Succeed or fail - or somewhere in between - no matter. You shall never have to share a place with those cold and timid souls!!<br /><br />Goodonya Girl!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-47961836414974007992009-10-29T12:53:29.455+10:002009-10-29T12:53:29.455+10:00Hope all is well, it appears that you are settling...Hope all is well, it appears that you are settling in well.<br /><br />Just curious as to where you put all your rubbish as you accumulate it? <br /><br />Keep up the good work, and hang in there<br /><br />PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-38116766545656907202009-10-28T22:30:15.745+10:002009-10-28T22:30:15.745+10:00Hi, I think it's cool.

Sounds like your having such a good time...Hi Jess, <br />Sounds like your having such a good time out there. We are studying about your journey at school, and I must admit...at first I thought I wouldn't be that interested in the topic, but now I have gotten to know a bit more about the things you had to go through to do all this...I am more interested to see how everything turns out! I am only in year 7 right now, only twelve, and I could never see myself doing that at 30 let alone in only another 4 years. I know your journey has inspired more than myself, the whole world is talking about you. <br />There are a lot of people against someone as young as you doing this, but the support of so many more has to give you enough motivation to meet all of us back in Australia. <br />I wish you all the best and a safe trip. See you back here in another 8 months!<br /><br />Tegan :)Escape-https://www.blogger.com/profile/14693926604194969688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-90128215815027476192009-10-23T07:54:41.682+10:002009-10-23T07:54:41.682+10:00Simply Amazing Jess, you've created so much po...Simply Amazing Jess, you've created so much positve energy around this globe of ours , that no matter what happens,you've done something extraordinary...go girl,<br />keri from brisbaneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964666895155595158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-81272876569664039042009-10-23T04:56:12.933+10:002009-10-23T04:56:12.933+10:00"We all have dreams.

Haven't seen a new post from you, so I'm hoping and trusting that you're busy sailing! The worldwide posts from your wellwishers are nothing short of fantastic. I'm learning lots of Aussie-speak as well, like "good on you!", lollies and sweeties. And skeds, I assume, must be schedules. <br />You're in my heart. Sending you grit and perseverence.
