Intentional.
I want to live with intention. To be purposeful in all that I do.
From the way I react and act with my children and husband to the way I think of things in the past.
My friend Cynthia, a phenomenal artist, recently wrote a few of her personal goals for 2011 on her blog. I especially liked the one that reads "Become less attached to the past (honor it, remember it, but be less reactionary)."
Sometimes I catch myself getting too caught up in the past.
"Why did I say that?"
"What if I would have…..?"
I think the key is to learn from the past and to not dwell in the past.
I had a close relationship destroyed many years ago. One that I think of daily. Could things have been handled and said differently? Of course. But I know that all I can do for now is pray. Pray for resolution. Pray for the other person to understand who God truly is and have a relationship with Him. Pray for forgiveness on both ends.
I plan to be intentional in my prayers.

Setting intentions is just a way to let God or Universe or Existence know you're ready and waiting to receive what is already yours! A beautiful post, Cazandra. Gratitude to peel off labels! Love that:) And thanks for the mention!
