WHAT ARE WE ALL ABOUT ?
When we’re not putting on our dancing shoes?
Create No Ordinary Life is a movement borne from the need to be inspired, passionate, challenged and satisfied. Our movement will never tell you what to do. We won’t diagnose, prescribe or put you in a box. We don’t believe what we do will have the answer to your questions, provide solutions to your problems or tell you what you should be doing with your life. We believe you’ve got all the answers.
Our movement simply inspires you to act.
Around here, we like to help shift complexity to the simple. We believe the world is throwing us information overload and what we want to do is help reduce the noise. We don’t want you to spend time being told how to live your life. We want you to spend time with your family, your friends, your work mates, your community, and most importantly, yourself. We want to inspire you to draw, sing, write, dance, work through life’s curve balls, build better relationships, let go of your past, open up your heart, redevelop your intuition, create a business, change your world, change the bigger world, be grateful, do whatever you like and love, design your life and assume charge of it.
We want you to say yes!
WHAT DOES NO ORDINARY LIFE MEAN ?
No Ordinary Life does not mean an extraordinary life. It is about cultivating an appreciation for what we already have and to savour each experience, image or contact we have each and every day. It is about being content with who we are and setting goals that are important to us. It is about being brave enough to turn a corner. It is not about a resume and list of achievements at the end of your life. It is about the now. Our passion is to share with you real stories of ordinary people committed to the pursuit of dreams, extinguishing the mundane, overcoming challenges and feeling compelled to make a difference, either to their own life or those of others. Our stories, unique programs and experiences are designed to inspire you to act. To do that, no ordinary life creates offline spaces for you to listen. Not to us. To yourself. We think you have better answers than we do for your life. It’s yours after all.
WHAT DO WE DO ?
We will fill your heart and mind with vulnerability, honesty, contemplative thoughts and perhaps an inkling of a shove. What you do with it, is completely up to you.
WHAT DON'T WE DO ?
We don’t fill your inbox with emails you will never read. We’d rather you out creating than staring at a screen.
We don’t tell you how to live your life. We inspire the word yes.
WHEN SHOULD YOU COME BACK FOR A VISIT?
The last thing we want to do is fill your inbox so we like to keep things simple. And never ordinary. We provide a home for your heart and mind to return to for our weekly post and a monthly The Space Between memoir of individuals adding the word create into their lives. You’ll be able to dig deep into the archives of our thoughts on creating awareness, attitude, community, experience and something, with only our latest appearing on the home page. Our memoirs don’t hang around on the website as they’ll be busy adding to a future collection, so make sure you read them while they’re up. Like life, we enjoy keeping our site fresh, clean and with only what you need. If you insist on needing more, you can sign up for our monthly Unravel newsletter. If that’s not enough, you can let us know here what you would like more of. Although keep in mind we don’t make promises we can’t keep; we enjoy spending time putting our feet in the sand, developing new projects, writing books, climbing mountains and creating.
I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS A STORY TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO CROSS THE SPACE BETWEEN
Great! We’d love to hear from you. We would eventually love to do two stories a month (they take a while to research and write) so are all ears when it comes to hearing stories about people creating no ordinary lives. Send us an email with details and we will get back to you if we’d like to interview them. Muchos gracias for sharing your inspiration.
CAN YOU WRITE FOR CREATE NO ORDINARY LIFE?
One of our core philosophies is being enough. We don’t want to inundate with more words and stories when there are already more than enough filling our inboxes and feeds. We also don’t believe we have the only stories that can inspire our readers to create no ordinary life. We therefore offer the opportunity of one guest blog post per month, which must fit into one of the following categories : Create awareness, attitude, community, experience or something. We do not offer any payment for posts selected but will link to your website and send you much positive energy and inspiration from the apus of Peru. Please contact us if you feel you have something to share, inspiring our readers to SAY YES.
HOW DO WE MAKE THIS SITE HAPPEN?
Easy. With love and passion. This project has been a vision of Tina’s for years. So, instead of accepting a paid ticket back to Australia from Peru, she decided to get herself stuck (and a wee afraid) in Peru with no job and make it happen. Life is much cheaper in Cusco, and she just couldn’t bare heading back to first world with its first world problems, huge rent payments and searching for a job she may not be so passionate about. So she decided to go it alone and follow a dream she has had since she was a child. Besides, having no constraints, or income, pushes one to start creating. After all, that is what we’re all about.
Create something.
We are planning the release of books and other products in the future to help with putting food on the table and hopefully an airline ticket back to Australia.
In the meantime, if you’re enjoying our stories and want to support us, you’re always welcome to make a donation. No writer needs to be poor. Especially when they have people who appreciate what they bring into their lives.
Just in case you want to share a coffee (or a little more) with Tina, here’s our Paypal link. Muchos gracias… with a clink at the bottom of the glass.
EVERYTHING WE DO IS ABOUT YOU!
SAY YES AND CREATE
