Tired of being a standby passenger in this world and watching as her family’s health and stress level spiraled out of control, Cara Sue Achterberg set out to create a healthier, happier life for herself and her family. Presented in a friendly, often humorous and always down-to-earth manner, Achterberg shares stories, resources, and recipes to help anyone live more intentionally. The book brims with over 65 challenges to the reader to make simple changes that will lead to a healthier, happier life. Divided in five sections, Live Intentionally invites you to a life lived on purpose. Eating intentionally means knowing your food – where it came from, what’s in it, what to avoid, but more importantly what to include so that your body can function optimally. It offers information and recipes for making your own processed foods like peanut butter, bread, applesauce, even chicken nuggets and pop tarts from simple healthy ingredients. Creating an intentional home means uncluttering, organizing, and learning to clean naturally with nontoxic ingredients. Achterberg shares secrets for a more efficient home and a lifestyle that strives to be less of a burden on our planet. Parenting intentionally involves making thoughtful decisions about chores, allowance, screens, exercise, and free time. Here you will find strategies for encouraging creativity and compassion, and a plan for raising competent adults who know how to cook a meal, keep a bathroom clean, and not just enjoy, but value family time. An intentional garden is organic and purposeful. Achterberg’s contagious passion for gardening encourages the reader to grow a garden in any space – even a pot in your window. Celebrating intentionally infuses holidays with more meaning and less stress, more joy and less excess so that the true purpose of the celebration shines through. An intentional life is a life lived on purpose. It is not complicated. It asks you to cease being a standby passenger in this world and begin making decisions for your life, your health, and your family that are not dictated by the media or the masses. It is living a life that requires no excuses.

I'm back for 2 more copies - to give to one of the best young moms I know (she's also my massage therapist) and the other for an old friend (60 +) who is trying to live a healthier, more balanced life. I gave my copy away to my sister in law so I need to replace that one as well --- so I guess I need 3. It's that kind of book. You're reading along, enjoying the way Cara tells the stories, and you think of someone you'd like to share it with.Product details

Live Intentionally 65 Challenges for a Healthier Happier Life edition by Cara Sue Achterberg Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
Coincidentally, my niece who is a young mother of two just asked me how she could start feeding her family better food. I answered immediately that her first step should be to read Cara Achterberg's book, Live Intentionally. I told her that the book (and Cara's blog) tell the story of how Cara made the journey with her own family. My niece asked if the book lays out a plan that only 'crazy' people would be able to follow. I laughed and told her that the book spells out baby steps that lead to big changes. As one other reviewer stated, the suggestions and stories never have a preachy tone. Even if a reader only chooses one section of the book to implement; changing your eating, trying your hand at gardening, changing your cleaning methods, or learning to celebrate small victories, they will feel healthier. My niece will be surprised when I give her a copy of the book for Christmas.
I have long been an admirer of Cara Achterberg's gardens, shelves lined with canned goods which she canned herself, and her profound knowledge of nutrition. When I found out she had written a book that would give me a glimpse of her knowledge I not only bought the book, I read it with a highlighter in hand.
Cara's writing style is a joy; she writes with both humor and candor about the struggles she has experienced as a mother working to raise children who learn healthy eating habits while being environmentally conscious and aware of their environmental footprints. This is not the kind of book you just read and put down. It is a resource you will return to again and again as you work to create your own goals for more intentional living.
Personally, I am resolved to start composting this year. Why haven't I done this in the past? Fear, I suppose. But then again, I was afraid to can food in fear of giving my family botulism, until Cara gave me gentle encouragement. (Now my cabinets are full of health pasta sauces that are lasting through the winter). There are many, many tips in this book that you can implement right away. Others might take longer. For example, I am no longer buying gift-wrap paper that just gets thrown away, but using (and re-using) beautiful fabric remnants I bought for super-cheap to wrap gifts I give to our family. There are cooking tips, gardening lessons,and challenges you can take on. I like that Cara invites the reader to skip around and to take on as little or as much as feels comfortable. After all, living intentionally is not a contest; it is a way to have a more meaningful and happier life. I feel better already.
Reviewed on behalf of The Review Board by Harmony Kent.
I received a free PDF copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
This is a self-improvement book with a difference. It is brim full with ideas, suggestions, and challenges for changing/choosing what you eat, how you shop, raise confident, competent, and caring children, and even how to celebrate the holidays without undoing all your hard work. Forget Earth Day; this book is all about how to live an Earth Life.
The narrative is easy to read, not patronising at all, and humorous and engaging. I love that each chapter ends with three challenges, set at three levels Basic, Serious, and Extreme. Everything the author advises in this book, she has already incorporated into the life of her and her family. While asserting that anyone can do this, the writer acknowledges that we all have unique situations and that not all our families will be willing or supportive, and she even has advice for that.
The layout is simple to follow and in bite-sized pieces that don’t leave you feeling overwhelmed and like it’s all just too much to take on. The reader can either read this book in linear fashion or dip in and out as they wish and go to the section most relevant to them. Throughout the book, and often in humorous fashion, the author reminds us that this process is a journey and not an end goal. It is the living right now that is of utmost importance.
Quite to my surprise, I enjoyed reading this book and didn’t feel too ‘preached at’ at all. It gets a solid ten out of ten TRB stars from me, which equates to five stars on other rating scales. If you are even remotely interested in living a healthier, greener, simpler life, then definitely give this book a go.
Is a wonderful, engaging, heart warming read with lots of wisdom, helpful hints and recipes for today's families. Loved it!
wonderfully applicable
Lots of wonderful information! Great writing! Have made the granola & is very good!
This fantastic book shows you that it can be done and how it can be done mindful and intentional living. Cara Achterberg explains how it is not only possible but fun to grow your own vegetables, be a smarter consumer, or give gifts that matter. Each chapter ends with three levels of challenges for the reader. After a chapter on homemade laundry let’s say, you’ll find yourself challenged to experiment with how little detergent you can use per load (this is the basic level), use earth-friendly laundry detergents (serious challenge), or (and this is what the author calls the extreme challenge) make your own laundry detergent, commit to using earth-friendly products like vinegar, and maybe even put up a clothline.
This book will help you improve the way you shop, eat, connect with your community, and even parent! It is well written, well organized, and always fun to read.
