february’s free wallpaper

download the full-size flower wallpaper Now that we are in a new month it’s time for a new MML free wallpaper! The quote, “Life is not testing you. She is rooting for you.” is from the amazing Danielle LaPorte. Since last month’s “fancy” wallpaper was so popular, I decided to try a new photo from [...]

my new vision for my career

Oh man. Earlier today I mentioned that I made a new vision for my career yesterday. When writing the post, I debated about sharing my actual vision. Since it would have made the post extremely long, I decided against it. But that’s not the whole story. Deep down, I also felt a bit scared of [...]

getting back on the path

One misconception about knowing one’s purpose is that if you know what it is, you must never falter, wonder, wander, or feel downright lost. That is so not true. In fact, it happened to me this month. Though I have a innate sense of my purpose: helping people live lives with intention, love, and purpose, [...]

vacation packing with intention

As most people start to prepare for this week’s Super Bowl parties, Mr. Lively and I are starting to get ready for our trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! We will be gone Friday through Monday for a romantic weekend trip that doubles as my Christmas and Valentine’s Day present (I’m a lucky lady!). I [...]

set an intention

I hope you had a great weekend! I spent my days off relaxing with Mr. Lively and watching Downton Abbey. We are hooked on the drama, intrigue, and dialogue. I can’t be sure, but I think I had a dream that I was part of Downton Abbey myself last night. Right now I’m headed out [...]

life with intention is live!

As promised, Life with Intention consulting is live! If you look at the nav bar at the top of MML you’ll see the Life Consulting tabs (if it doesn’t show right away, try refreshing your page). Along with the introduction, process, and pricing, you’ll see a rare glimpse of Mr. Lively! Have a great weekend [...]

ryan gosling’s advice for MML

Recently Ryan Gosling has become somewhat of an internet meme. I thought I’d share his enthusiasm for all those MML readers working on their dream job after the day job ends. We can all use a little encouragement, right?   original photo credit, current state via MML  

starting a dream fast, slow, or kinda slow

Earlier this week I announced the three chosen to work with me one-on-one in Life with Intention consulting. Though I wasn’t able to work with everyone who reached out, below is a brief summary of one of the stories I heard and my response. I hope it is helpful for others in similar shoes as [...]

the perfect moment

behind the scenes

Today I’m sharing my goals, vision for my life in five years, and other little tidbits you might not know about me over on Vmac + cheese in Victoria’s Behind the Scenes guest series. I also share my love for “fluffy cloud island” which hasn’t made its way onto MML just yet. And in other [...]

life with intention free consultation decision

After reading through the emails I received in response to the Life with Intention consulting I will be starting shortly, I am more convinced than ever that I am on the right track in my life. The emails of those who wanted to be considered for the three free consultation calls were incredible. I was [...]

move past the clutter

Forgive me, I’m feeling a bit feisty today. When I started MML and seriously began to design my life with intention, I focused on exfoliating items that I didn’t need, use, or love. And the content on MML reflected my clutter-free focus as well. But as I continued to pare down my possessions to those [...]
