The Launching of Intentional Living

In reflecting on what it truly means to live with intention and to honor Patty Berry Rhodes, the inspiration for this page, the following quote serves as the first post. May these words inspire and challenge us all to live intentionally and successfully....

"To have laughed often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." -- Ralph Waldo Emersonnbsp;
