An Intentional Life is stunning and meaningful in a way few things are. Its sheer beauty and quiet power will take your breath away.

–Rory Freedman

To live in a way that your life could contribute to the happiness and liberation of others, to live your life in a way that could enhance the lives of others is to live a life that matters-to live an intentional life. Christine Louise is someone who knows how her thoughts, words and actions affect the lives of others-she lives an intentional life-knowing that the best way to uplift our own lives is to do all we can to uplift the lives of others. This inspiring book provides evidence that even during these times of global crisis, environmental devastation and relentless animal exploitation one person can make a difference by choosing activism rather than despair and hope rather than blame-expressed beautifully, and at times humorously, through the creative art of photography.
–Sharon Gannon, co-founder of Jivamukti Yoga

 

Through her beautiful photographs, Christine Louise vividly shows us how “We are all One” is more than just a saying. This book is a vital reminder of the profound and exquisite interconnection of all life.

–Julia Butterfly Hill

An Intentional Life is a beautiful book with amazing colorful photographs of nature and wildlife in Costa Rica and the United States. The inspiration for the book comes from the Costa Rican jungles where Christine Louise meets orphaned monkeys and is moved with so much love in her heart to dedicate the book to them. The story is about oneness and our responsibility as humans to care for nature. I cried with joy the first time I read this book and I saw how it affected a friend of mine in a similar way. I highly recommend this book to all of those interested in wildlife and consciousness and who are curious about treasures in the country of Costa Rica and abroad.

–Natalyn, Eco-Inspired Wildlife Artist

It’s been said that we will only save what we love. An Intentional Life will remind you of how much you love this Earth and its creatures, and help you to understand this life you have been given and it’s innermost purposes. It’s a beautiful book.

–John Robbins, author The New Good Life, and Diet For A New America
