Survival for Busy Womenis dedicated to sev-eral people in my life who have contributed to this book and to the many women who have attended my seminars with feelings of despera-tion, yet with a teachable spirit. These women have shown me how a hassled, frustrated life can become one of hope, with the promise of surviving our busy lifestyles.

Special thanks to my Bob, who has given so much of his time, love, and writing talents to many of the chapters in this book.

My prayer is thatSurvival for Busy Women will be the tool to motivate, encourage, and energize you to begin implementing the work-able principles given. May the Lord give you the excitement to work the plan of organization.

Go for it! Hugs,
