Thanks for visiting Brock! Yeah, for sure. I love my new name. Also, once you start going by different names, it helps to break down the strong sense of I or me, which is helpful in this part of the world. You can get all philosophical and start questioning what it does or does not mean to be a Jake, or Jacob, or Jagat. Does it matter? ;-)

Thank you for sharing this blog. Most importantly though, sharing the info about your divorce and the context by which you frame it, illustrates the acceptance and continuance of your life’s journey, the way you can pick up the pieces and move forward. I have not yet read much of your blog, but I suspect that intimate situation is one of the most powerful, and inspirational situations which you can share. We cannot change others, but by acceptance, love, and forgiveness, we can be changed.
