This is where I babble about my silly epiphanies, my random thoughts and my aha moments.
Have you seen this kid riding his bike through the neighbourhood? Capestang has a new boy in town, one with a goal and a determination measured to none. Daniel received a second-hand bike from us when we first landed in Capestang. With the fabulous weather ahead, we had a line on good used bikes from…

First I wanted to apologize for not keeping up with our posts. We are under some stress, more than the usual moving to a new country may produce and as a result we lay low, but we do have some distractions of course. Lets start with… On a happy note: Daniel’s delivery service is still…
“Earth’s crammed with heaven… but only he who sees, takes off his shoes” Elizabeth Barrett Browning Saying goodbye… It is always hard to say goodbye from a distance.

Do we expect our lives to turn out like a Disney movie? Think about it. We watch these very entertaining stories, set to energetic musical scores with women with the sweetest voices belting out inspirations messages. In these stories good always prevails over evil, and the main characters pull themselves out of a life less…
What a year this has been! It was about finding a good income, establishing ourselves in our community and giving back. When we moved here we had no idea what we were going to do… 2014, after searching, we finally found English for Success, our new business venture. Alfonz and I both have our…
