Intentions Coming True

The Richmond Veg Fest has been thriving for 22 years, and I’ve had the joy of attending most of them. But this year felt different—this year was special.
Last year’s festival was midway between two milestones on my author journey. Just three months earlier, my book proposal had been named a runner-up in a Hay House Publishing contest. Three months later, I would be handing the very first draft of my manuscript to my developmental editor.
As I wandered beneath the trees that day, I was suddenly struck by a vivid flash of intuition: a clear image of myself standing at a booth, talking with readers about my book. I decided to trust that vision. I set the intention to come back as a vendor in 2025—and would you believe the organizers placed my booth in the exact same spot I’d pictured? Never underestimate the power of intention!
And what a day it was! Despite forecasts of rain, the sky opened into sunshine, and the air was alive with music, delicious aromas, and community spirit. It filled my heart to reconnect with so many familiar faces and to meet new friends. Thank you to everyone who stopped by—your hugs and smiles made the day unforgettable.
Thanks to my good friend, Deb, for being the first person to order an Intend Well T-shirt!
It's available in a variety of styles and colors. There's also a black version of the logo if you prefer a light colored shirt.
My deepest appreciation to everyone who came out to the Tuckahoe Library for my author talk and book signing...particularly those of you who brought friends along.
After reading about intentional resilience, we practiced one of my favorite techniques for counteracting the stress response--Intentional Breathing.
This recording is for those of you who couldn't be there.
On Saturday, October 11, I'll be at the Natural Awakenings Health Fest 2025 from noon - 4:00 p.m. The Dewey Gottwald Center is a lovely building located behind the Science Museum. Stop by and say hello!
If you live in the central Virginia area, Book People RVA has my book in stock. It will also be available through the Henrico County library in a few weeks.
You can order paperback copies online through Book People RVA, and Barnes and Noble, as well as other major book retailers. At this time, the digital version is only available through Amazon.
Many of you have asked about an audio version. I hear you! I love audio books. My Audible library has over 400 titles in it. Recording a book requires significant upfront investment, however, as I would have to rent a studio and hire a sound engineer (at a minimum). While I'm not ruling out the possibility of producing an audio version some day, I don't anticipate one in the near future.
You possess an invisible strength—the power of your Intention. When people unite their intentions, that power is amplified.
The Intend for Peace community is united by our shared intention for peace. Join an Intend for Peace call and be the change you wish to see in the world.
During these calls, we practice a brief grounding and centering exercise followed by ten minutes of silent focus on our intention for peace. The entire call lasts less than thirty minutes.
Research led by Lynne McTaggert reveals that intending peace for others has a rebound effect that uplifts the senders, as well. Susan had this to say about our last session:
I was in a crappy mood before the call so I was surprised how peaceful and relaxed I felt afterwards!
Everyone is welcome to drop in as your schedule permits. Register HERE to receive the Zoom link. I'll also send you a reminder on the day of the session.

"Each with a duty, a function to perform if the world would be better for you having lived in it, and this is your purpose on earth."
