I’m not sure if I’ve already opened with this quote, but here goes anyways: “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experience on the purely physicalContinue reading “The (Real) Nanny Diaries.”

The Long Way Around.
Where oh where to begin? Per custom, I shall begin by looking back chronologically aka that takes us to the last week of August. In the days leading up to Labor Day (although not celebrated in Spain on the same day as in the US), I was busy running, reading, nannying sweet Dylan, working onContinue reading “The Long Way Around.”
You’re My Person.
“I literally have to remind myself all the time, that being afraid of things going wrong isn’t the way to make things go right.” …eek! So true. Happy Saturday all. This last week has been a solid start to August. This month, as many locals travel to apartments in smaller beach towns in Costa BravaContinue reading “You’re My Person.”
Closed for August.

We had a lot of fun cheering on the home team with fellow Americans at theContinue reading “…You look weird.”
He Deserves Balloons.
Good morning to everyone from this cloudy Monday in Barcelona! It’s been about two weeks since my last blog post, dang it.

Namely, Cass’ best friend Larissa arrivedContinue reading “He Deserves Balloons.”
Alicante & Calpe – Starting off Summer 2014!
“Keep yourself grounded and view the world through your heart. You will find balance.” – Ketut Liyer (via Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love) Well vacation is over, aka back to reality here in Barcelona (which is admittedly not such a bad reality). Damian and I took a 7am Renfe train from Barcelona Sants down toContinue reading “Alicante & Calpe – Starting off Summer 2014!”
Interested > Interesting.
“Not knowing what you want to do with your life (or at least not having some ideas about what to do next)… is a way of pretending that now doesn’t matter. Being confused about choices is nothing more than hoping that maybe there is a way to get through life without taking charge.” – MegContinue reading “Interested > Interesting.”
