When I am confused by somebody’s actions or statements, I like to ask “What’s your intent?”
If I don’t ask, I assume what the intent is and I’m probably wrong.
If I knew the owner of this car …
… I would ask “What’s your intent in having that license plate?” Because I don’t know that person, I assume it’s a communication about disaster. What kind of disaster? Maybe living in Maine is a disaster for a lobster.
What’s my intent in taking and sharing these other photos?
My intent is to tell you that you are not alone. We’re all in this together.
Here‘s “Good Intent” from Kimbra.
What’s your intent in reading my blog today? Please express your intent in a comment, below.
At the end of every post, my intent is to express thanks to all who helped me create it and — of course! — to YOU.
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
Love your intent that we’re all in this together. Not so much the number plate.
My intent is to read your blog and smile, and then I intend to give you my words loud and clear.
Let Us Not Be Silent
Let us not turn a blind eye
Clear the dark clouds from our sky
Extract our heads from the sand
Join our national brass band
Blow loudly on your trumpets
Let us stop being pawns and puppets
We’re not the sheep of their lands
We can be the blanket for our lambs
A collective sheet, protective and grand
Let us not be silent and bland
We’re distraught and outraged
Compassion, love, is paramount on centre-stage
Clear the stage, make a stand
The worlds suffering children need us
Before they’re herded onto the bus
Like lambs to the slaughter
Imagine, our sons and daughters
Laying on concrete, alone and caged
Crying, weeping, could it be our ice-age

Powerful words! I love the ‘intent’ of this message. It is loud and clear and one I think we all need to heed.
Thank you for reading my humble words, Lately I’ve been emotionally jolted these recent events, and I’ve felt compelled to say, and do something.
It is my intent to thank you for all of these powerful words.
I hope I wasn’t too intrusive on your site, sometimes I’m not sure about my etiquette practises on WP
My intent is to let you know I’m grateful for what you did, Ivor.
Thank you Ann, that’s nice to know …
My intent is to always follow you Ann and gather wisdom from your words.
My intent is to always follow you, Carol. Many thanks.
I intend to smile about the tail-wagging dog photo, rain or shine, Ann. Happy Fourth to you, Michael and Aaron.
My intent is to smile whenever I see you, Mark.
Sometimes when someone reads something I’ve written and asks, “What was your intent?” I don’t know. Sometimes, as strange as it sounds, I only understand the intent afterward, but I always go in hoping the intent is good.
My intent is to tell you how good you always are, Chris.
I suppose I only know ‘my’ intent for anything I do, and I can’t even guarantee I know that ! I will say that the creative intent behind the dog car sticker to wag his tail totally made me smile. I mean, whether it was the creator’s intent or not, how can one not smile a dog wagging his tail. Even if it is a window wiper!
My intent is to let you know I always appreciate your intent.
The best vanity plate I saw was a Maine Plate that read MISSME – it is clever on several levels. My friend Barb Nelson had a plate that was TRES BN. Also clever.
Tres bien, Allison!
My intent is to read your post because I like your posts and I would like you to read one of mine
My intent is to tell you I like your posts.
Don’t ask my what my intent is because half the time I have no idea, I just do and say stuff without thinking
My intent today is to say Happy Independence Day to all of my American friends on Ann’s blog.
Clarification always helps
