Setting up 2012: Weekend of Coolness and Skulduggery Report
Adventure waits for each of us to let go of what we’ve come to know as normal, as comfortable, as secure. For The NonConformist Family, 2012 is the Year of Adventure – and our goals are about equipping ourselves to chase down that adventure. And yes, it’s a little bit daunting – just a little. At the end of the day, though…
2012 will be our family’s break-out year.
In our recent planning weekend (aka the Weekend of Coolness and Skulduggery), we were able to look back and reflect on a 2011 that was all about doing away with society’s expectations of what our family should be and do. We cracked our mold, blew up our life, and began putting the pieces back together.
2012 will be about creating a place of strength, a concrete, settled center out of which to strike forward. Weʼre building new routines, and setting new expectations. Weʼre putting together the framework and structure of our life – setting ourselves up for [Read More...]

It’s all over. Well, almost.
2011 is nearly history, and 2012 looms before us. Not going to lie, we’re all pretty damn stoked over here at the NCF, and here’s why:
A few weeks ago, Sarah and I were challenged by a friend to give 2012 a title – sort of like a chapter heading. We were both like ‘huh, that’s a cool idea’, and then we sort of forgot until later that day. Know what’s crazy? We both had the exact [Read More...]
The End of the World…
I'm pretty sure Vienna would still do this if the world was ending tomorrow. What a kiddo.
…is ONE YEAR from today! If that doesn’t get your nonconformist heart pumping, then I’m pretty sure the 1492-era Mayans don’t know what will.
Sar and I were chatting last night with Alana and Josh Mokma (during which time we hatched some wonderful, wonderful ideas, btw) and Alana pointed that the ancient Mayans predicted the demise of our fair world to be 12/12/2012 – one year from today. (editors note: the Mayans actually predicted an apocalypse, and the end of our World Age… whatever that means)
I immediately thought, What if the world actually ended one year from today? How insane would that be? [Read More...]
How Inspiration Dies
Even 2-year-olds lose inspiration.
All of the inspiration in the world doesn’t matter if you don’t act. Taking the step from desire to action is probably the hardest one for most people – I know it is for me. Unfortunately, that’s when all sorts of excuses pop up.
I’m not qualified.
I don’t have enough money to buy the right tools. [Read More...]
