idea of choice. It is so important for us to realize the tremendous
power we carry in that "we get to choose," stated Ramona Palermo
ABWA program director and owner of Sarasota- based Business Resource,
Inc. We can choose what we do, where we go, who we go with. Most
importantly- we get to choose our attitude and we get to choose how
we view the world. That is really powerful and can make a BIG difference
in our ultimate destiny.
