The Art of Living Unconventionally: Interview with Chris Guillebeau

A few years ago, Chris Guillebeau made it his goal to visit every country in the world before his 35th birthday. He's already visited over 175 of them, and is on pace to complete the quest next year. He is also a writer, entrepreneur, purveyor of the blog The Art of Non-Conformity, and author of the excellent book by the same name. His mission is to help people live unconventional lives, make their own choices, and change the world. We had a chance to chat with Chris recently, and covered a wide range of topics. We asked him about his world travels, how his adventure has changed him, and …

Traveling Potato Head

Humans love surprises. Well, not the "thank you for your 30 years of service, but we have to let you go" or "Luke, I am your father" kinds of surprises, but the fun, magical kinds that make your soul smile. The cracker jack prizes of life. …

Mom and Daughter Celebrate May Day a Little Late

I have fond memories from childhood of May Day. We'd cut some of our beautiful irises and gently put them in homemade construction paper cones along with some candy and run giddily over to our neighbor Lois' house to surprise her. The best part was ringing the doorbell and running away. When else can you do this?! …

How to Do What You Love and Create a New Future

Many people I talk to have an inkling of some kind of dream business they'd love to start. A cute yarn store. An interior design consultancy. A little coffee shop. It's often deep in the back of their mind, buried by things like fear and doubt. Something's holding them back: Lack of funds. Uncertainty about what steps to take. Or the comfort of a job that already pays the bills and provides benefits, even if it's one they dislike so much that they'd rather punch kittens for a living. …

Bucket List, Summer Edition

A few months ago, I wrote about the idea of making a list of things you want to do this summer. A summer bucket list, if you will. This is mine. Time flies, whether you're having fun or not. Creating a great life story requires living with intention. As the old saying goes, if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. But if you want to create a life filled with great scenes and happy memories, you need to do your part. You need to invite those scenes and memories into your story. One way to do that is with a bucket list. Write it out. Draw it, like I did. Or …

My Greatest Day as a Dad (So Far)

My greatest day as a dad recently eclipsed my previous greatest day as a dad. The first one was about a month ago. I was wearing a Stormtrooper t-shirt I had gotten for Christmas. Lucy was sitting across from me at the table, and said, "I like your shirt, Dad." I thanked her, thinking she liked the artsy design and bright colors. Then she asked, "That's from Star Wars, isn't it?" My ears perked up, because I hadn't talked that much to her about my favorite movies in the history of the universe. Yet. "Why yes, it is," I responded. The thing she said next solidified that day …
