Intentional living can be described as understanding your fundamental beliefs and values, and then actively living your life in line with them. When you tap into those beliefs and values on a daily basis you mark the difference between living life passively and living life intentionally. Living life this way requires slowing down and really looking at your life, priorities, and what really matters in your life and your family's life. Intentional living is a choice that is an ongoing process. It's YOUR choice for YOUR life. To hear more about how to live this life, and how it can change you, Anne and I invite you to listen to today's podcast.
