Board of Directors

As I See It

As a founding member of Kathleen Lenover’s Board, I helped Kathleen and Kathie Blea to determine what was the purpose, the processes, the vision, and the name of Education for Abundant Living.  We worked through accomplishing the requirements, the paperwork and supporting Kathleen as she qualified for a Focus Ministry within Center for Spiritual Living.

After becoming a Minister for CSL, Kathleen led EAL for the two years required until she became ordained and thus a life-time minister with Centers for Spiritual Living.  Kathleen, being a lifetime learner, decided that she wanted to earn a Doctorate and so she began at  University. To earn the doctorate, one of her requirements was to write a book.  So, Kathleen took a course in how to write a book about her life which became her book, I Am Perfect For This. We were all so proud of her accomplishment and that she was now Rev. Dr. Kathleen Lenover. Unfortunately, Kathleen made her transition before we could have her book launch with us.

 

But Education for Abundant Living continues.  There is still a need for education about religious financial growth, about how to live abundantly, and how to put the two topics together.  The organization is all set up and it continues to function.  It is looking for a new leader who would like to have all the mechanics completed and who would like to take EAL to the next level.  If you or someone you know would like to step in to those shoes, please contact us.

Meet the team!

Jeanne Colasanti, PhD., Board President

As Trustee of the estate of the founding minister of Education for Abundant Living, Rev. Dr. Kathleen Lenover, it is my solemn duty and privilege to nurture the evolution of this organization towards its next highest purpose.

Originally hailing from picturesque Colorado, my professional journey as an educator and mediator has predominantly unfolded in Arizona. 

Throughout my career, my unwavering dedication has been to empower individuals in fostering profound and satisfying 

relationships. My diverse experiences have spanned across various roles; serving as a classroom teacher, director, administer and actively leading staff development notably with The Stephen Covey Institute.   Additionally, my proficiency as a mediator has allowed me to navigate complexities with finesse, facilitating constructive resolutions in various settings. 

Driven by a fervent commitment to personal and collective growth, I am honored to contribute to the ongoing transformation and elevation of Education for Abundant Living.

When Rev. Dr. Kathleen Lenover asked me to be the President of her Board as she began her journey into being a minister for Centers for Spiritual Living, I was concerned that I didn’t have enough religious background for such as position.  Kathleen assured me that she needed individuals with educational and business background, and I qualified in those categories.  I have a Master’s Degree from Leland Stanford Jr. University, Graduate School of Education, focusing on adult education. I earned a BA in English, and a English Education teacher’s credential,

and Speech and Science minors from San Jose State University. 

I spent the first half of my career as the Department Head of Secondary Education at Stephens College after teaching at the University of Missouri.  After I moved to Colorado, for the second half of my career, I shifted to the commercial side of teaching where I lead teams that created custom training for Fortune Five Hundred corporations.  I was able to help Kathleen in building her organization, in creating her vision and approach, and in completing the requirements for her Focus Ministry in Centers for Spiritual Living.
