She lost a dear friend and she wrote these words “live with intention...”, which have appeared wrapped around mugs, on carry bags and journals, day planners, refrigerator magnets, and posters. In her book Live With IntentionRadmacher shares the ten qualities she considers essential to intentional living and offers you exercises, inspirations, and promises to help you find what's important in your life.

About this title

From the Author

Although I wrote the poem, LIVE WITH INTENTION, over 20 years ago,  the words have impact on me daily.  The piece  became my manifesto...and the same for many others. 

There are those who wanted more specific instruction in this book - and let me know that the lack of outlined "steps" for living with intention was a disappointment to them.  My  books and writings are much less oriented toward "how to," and more oriented to the "why," behind the to.  I offer story and reflection. I offer inspiration and suggestion.  Unlike a model popularized and, I believe, broadly misunderstood, I do not think there is a universal formula involved in setting and realization personal intention.  It's called "personal" for a reason.  What I offer are considerations, prompts and stepping stones to accompany you on your journey of  discovery.  I love when my words become valued companions on travels of personal growth. THIS book is just that. A kindred reflection.  A mirror of your possibility.  I poured my heart into these pages and I trust the effort will speak some truth to you.

From the Inside Flap

"Live with intention, walk to the edge,listen hard, practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is."  More than two decades ago, Mary Anne Radmacher wrote these words, which have since appeared in art posters and on refrigerator magnets, bags, journals, day planners and mugs.

Now she expands on them to invite readers to explore what it might mean to live each day with intention - to figure out what counts for us, what will make our lives richer, allow us to make a difference, and bring joy and laughter into each and every day.  Step into this world of intentional living, moment by moment.  You won't ever want to leave it.
