Challenges and progress in Barcelona

Overall, life is good.  Barcelona is revealing itself as my proving grounds.  Below is the woman who I am living with.  We share a bed in a fabulously awesome apartment in a pretty central part of Barcelona.  She's fucking fantastic.  I love her.  I also super like her.  I am not sure how much I want to write about her seeing as this is a public blog, so i'll keep the details about her limited. (:  That's us for halloween.  we hosted a party at our place.  we had a blast!!!!!!

Before i left for Barcelona i gave my first Bitcoin Bodywork session.  Below is a picture of one of the sessions i gifted to one of mi amor's friends.  That same women invited me to a pilates class, which i found out really isn't my thing, where i was solicited for a role as a police officer in a film!  And it seems to be a paying job!  Not sure if it's speaking or not, but two days worth of work...Regardless I'm excited as shit.  That'll happen later this month if it does.

So challenges, or compression as a dear friend puts it.  I had about half of my money end up not being accessible when i arrived here, so i got to look at my relationship with money.  A lil' history: when i went to thailand i learned about bitcoin and proceeded to put 90% of my money into it.  The value at that point was about $650.  It's now $339.  I was pretty blind to the thought of jumping on the bandwagon and getting rich quick.  I saw bitcoin as an oppportunity to make a fuckload of money.  So far, my wealth in usd has dropped about half.
So the compression, i get an opportunity to use my money and sell some bitcoin to fund what i care about and have some integrity around things like my car and car registration (ugh) as well as my practice of bitcoin bodywork.
I have about 6 euro left in my wallet, a few bucks in my US checking account, and $132 in usd that a brought for some sexual fantasy fulfillment and half a bitcoin on a quick access wallet. That's my current accessible money.  Then i have a $500 money order coming from a declined charles schwab attempted account opening.  bad credit apparently. and i haven't filed for my tax return from 2013, which should be decent.  So i get an opportunity to be patient and view my currently inaccessible bitcoins as simply energy/resources.  and i get to practice what i've learned, which is i'm plenty wise enough to manage my finances and and i have some room to play.
Aaand i'm in an open relationship with mi amor.  It's awesome!  I get to practice all that i learned reading the ethical slut back in march!  I will be writing a separate blog with her on that topic in particular as it's a little more pg-13 of a subject.  Please let me know if you want an invite to that blog.

I share all of the above to practice honesty and openness.  I've had a lot of charge around money my whole life, and i'm learning that i really enjoy being open about my money and my sex and my feelings and sensations.  It has initiated conversations about "the work" and the juice that is really what's important and i want to continue opening that door.

I doing some badass work on my life and my self out here and i'm fucking proud of it.  And i want to share my edges and challenges with you.  I could be back in the US working a job and feeling like an indentured servant, and i'm choosing something different.  I don't know how it's going to all work out and that's ok. I'm alive, happy, healthy and having some fantastic sex.

Wanna visit?  We have a really big, really nice apartment close to everything.  I make bomb breakfast and mi amor cooks some amazing dinners.
I would love to hear from you, and better yet see you!  PS, if you're coming please bring a vitamix.  Mine got stolen about a year ago and life's not the same. And then i can make us all some super-bomb-healthy-magical-veggie-and-fruit blends! (:

  Much love,

Me and mi amor.
