Stuck in Life’s Train Station

Do we really want life without any pain? Humans gonna human.
I picked up Eckhart Tolle’s The Power Of Now a few years ago. I’d heard great things, but it didn’t resonate. I held on to it however, and I’m back at it. Someone must have changed all the words because … Continue reading
Mediterranean Cruise and Channeling Abraham
You can find my previous blog here. It’s funny how things get started. My entire quest for a new home started with a whim. Take a cruise. Alone. With a bunch of strangers who get this thing called Abraham Hicks. … Continue reading
Mallorca and Roving Herds of Germans
We arrived on Mallorca after much trial and tribulations, in other words, the screwups were rather spectacular. It was fitting, given the start of the day in torrential downpours. The Barcelona airport was in on the joke as we later … Continue reading

Madrid, The City of Deep Breaths.
Better Done Than Perfect You’re going to have to forgive the errors going forward. I’ve decided that done is better than perfect. OK, so I’m rarely perfect, but I’m pretty damn good, and I’d rather post than get behind. I’m … Continue reading
Lisboa: Hilly Mazes of Alfama, a Cool Speakeasy, and Airbnb Review
The Alfama and Surroundings As first impressions go, Lisboa wasn’t exactly…encouraging? Perhaps it’s better if you arrive by land or sea. The flight along the coast surprised with vast stretches of coastline dedicated to farming. The American in me sees … Continue reading
