Notes:  The files from the seminar have been uploaded for your convenience.  Our contact information is located at the bottom of the Managing Your Health Online Overview document.  Additionally, I have uploaded a file with a version of the my P.O.W.E.R. cards that you can use.  These are smaller than those that were passed out, about the size of business cards.  Remember to simply put a small strip of magnet, available at arts n crafts store on the back.  These make wonderful little tokens at minimal expense.   We wish you WELL and please contact us if you have any questions.
