Imagine how it would feel to be able to release the stored up stress and tension within your body to achieve a greater sense of well-being and true healing. Thousands of patients (including many WOAMTEC members), of Simply Well, a Winter Park-based practice started 10 years ago by Dr. Dominick D’Anna, have experienced extraordinary results in their lives.

Times really have changed. Years ago, men worried about their wives taking their retirement in a divorce situation. Today, just as many women are worried that they, too, will have to give up what they earned. When both spouses work and have earned retirement benefits, they most often have to share them in a divorce situation.

LRA Insurance Professional, Debra Lampe launched her new Winter Garden/Clermont Chapter this past Wednesday and did an outstanding job! Debra launched her new Winter Garden/Clermont Chapter at the new beautiful Bella Collina. She had over 25 sharp, energetic business women present and is sure to have a terrific chapter. Due to the upcoming Confident Women Conference, the next meeting will not be held until Feb. 11th. Please come out and join us and help her chapter grow. If you have never been to this venue, it is a fantastic location. You really feel like you are in a different country. It is a great way to getaway and call it work!
Personally, my brother and I were talking the other day. We were discussing our economic situation, the new President and about Faith. We discussed something he had heard a Pastor say on TV. The Pastor said, “We pack our own luggage and if we are going on a trip that we have to walk everywhere, why do you want to overload what you can truly be comfortable with? Take what you need and only what you need.” In times like these, many businesses have to stay strong, work hard, and focus on what really matters. Remember, at the end of the day, the only deposits that matter in life are the ones you make in the lives of others. Blessings for a wonderful 2009, have faith, work hard, and stay focused on the important things in life!
Kathleen Hawkins
President
