For your personal organization and spiritual growth:

Krista's recommendation for a quick way to bring organization to your busy day is to begin using a planning system. Her system of choice is Franklin Covey Planners and she has been using them for most of her career years. You can design your own personal system that will work for your busy lifestyle.

Kristina recommends books by Michelle McKinney Hammond. A few of Kristina's favorites are "The Secrets of an Irresistible Woman" and "The Power of Being a Woman".  As Kristina says..."they are spackle for my soul".

Deana recently completed her Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership degree from Geneva College and highly recommends this program. Geneva's graduate and undergraduate programs for the working student are a great way to further your education while balancing your home and career.
