This month, we provide you with a magical journaling exercise. WHI registrants opinions about the media s depiction of older women. By the way, please remember to pass this newsletter on by e-mail or as a printed hard copy to any friends and family members who might enjoy and benefit from it. Write your own fairy tale, which can be as brief or as long as you like. If you d like to share what you ve written with other women, visit the WHI journal discussion group , and post your paragraph for others to read.
Informational brochures are also available at screening sites.
