What Book Would You Add to My Must Read List?

Welcome back!

I’m an avid reader, or at least I used to be, but I admit since having children I haven’t read quite as much.  I want to though and therefore I need some “reading material”, so as usual I am polling others and asking what they’d recommend to read.  This weekend I posed the question on Twitter and got some great answers including:

Crush It!

The 4-Hour Workweek

Feminine Appeal

I asked for books that fit the category of Biblical, spiritual growth or small business.  Those are the topics I am most interested in.  I even created an Amazon Wish List.  So, what would you add to the list?

This is the first in a series of posts on books I have read or want to read. Check back tomorrow for books I’m currently reading.

It’s Been a Day of Clearing

It’s definitely been a day of clearing. In more ways than just one. I cleared my desk, man was it ever a mess. You can see a before and after picture below. This was inspired by one of my new Twitter friends @MyGOMOM, Molly Gold, president of Go Mom Inc. who has been kind enough to supply me with one of her DIY planners for a giveaway next week. I’m super excited about bringing that to my little blog here.

Second, it has been a day of clearing things off of my to do list. I have a speaking engagement this weekend and tomorrow I have to be super focused on that last minute prep for that. Speaking to a group of 1st – 6th grade girls in Madison, MS.

Finally, I’m clearing off that “big goals” list. For the past 3 years, yes you read that right, THREE, I have had a goal to finish my devotional book I’ve been compiling for girls and their moms. It will be a mom-daughter devotional guide and be for that “tween” age group. Today I was talking to my book coach and friend, Kristen over at I Am Published and she gave me that final “push” so to speak. In the next few weeks the book will be being edited, formatted and all that jazz. I will soon and very soon be a “published” author. So excited!

So there you have it… man my plate feels so “clean”. I love Taking action!

Precious Girls Club Review & Giveaway

For a long time I have wanted to be able to provide a community for young girls online.  As my ministry, Beauty by Design Ministries’ mission is “turning the hearts of girls towards God”.  I felt that the net was lacking in a safe and interactive environment for girls to participate in. Though I have not been able to have the tools or the resources to create such a place I have found one that I can recommend in The Precious Girls Club.  This fun and interactive website for young girls is just what I thought about for so long but more than I ever knew I could have created.  Sponsored by Precious Moments, this place is perfect for young girls and safe too.

Not only do they have the interactive community they call “The Precious Girls Club” but they also have a “Precious Moms “ and a line of products to go along with them.  These include figurines, charm bracelets, and books.  I was sent one of the books called Operation Kindness, which teaches young girls the Biblical concept of kindness.  It is one of the books in a series.  They also stuffed dog too.  Both are perfect products for young girls and best of all are the concepts that they teach.

I have a second copy of the book and a stuffed dog too to give away here on the blog.  So, if you have a young girl please leave her name in the comments below and tell me how she would benefit from The Precious Girl’s Club to win a copy of Operation Kindness and the cute little stuffed puppy too.  Giveaway will be held Wednesday,July 1.
