The Hampton Herald
No, we’re not expecting our second child, but I am eating for two again. Emma is just over six months now and our little bundle of miracle-rainbow-child joy is not so little anymore. Still joyful, our baby girl has two teeth now, little fairy-like wisps of hair and two adorable curls behind her ears. Emma is a bouncing, squealing, smiling, bundle of personality, happily chewing and gumming on anything and everything. And I do mean everything! Emma starting showing an interest in food toward the end of December, and she ate her first solids just before her six month birthday in January. Since then it’s been a struggle for me to not only ensure that she is eating age-appropriate, nutritious food but to also model healthy eating practices. I figured I had a few more months of indulgence left before I had to admit that it was time to back off my pregnancy diet of carbs, carbs, chocolate, Pepsi, and more carbs and start reaching for more fruit and veggies. That is, until I noticed Emma eyeing up my chips. So I stopped snacking in front of her. Last week, Emma tried her hardest to get a sip from my can of Pepsi. Now, I have no problem with her trying pop or chips- but not when she’s six months old! Thus begins the journey of eating for two (or really three considering I’m cooking for Kevin as well - poor man is thrilled at the idea of not being fed pizza every three or four days). Oddly enough, I’m enjoying this foray into “real” food. I’ve always been a picky eater and turned my nose up at countless recipes based solely on preconceived notions of my distaste of an ingredient. Even when we were trying clean eating before my pregnancy,
our diet remained very limited by my distrust of new foods and ingredients. I never thought I’d be grateful for baby food; showing Emma sweet potatoes and trying a few bites to encourage her to have a taste led me to realize that the one and only time I tried sweet potato in a dish and disliked it does not necessarily mean that I won’t like the food itself. I’m withholding judgement on green beans though. I’m absolutely 100%, without a doubt in my mind, certain that I don’t like green beans. Not that I’ll tell Emma that! Mealtimes are fun now. With Emma in her high chair and Kevin and I on either side of her at the table we actually have meals rather than a quick bite between bottles and paper work, we talk and share each other’s company and watch with awe and wonder as Emma experiences the joys of eating with family. So I shall embrace peaches and pears for dessert, and try to view meal prep as a benefit of parenting rather than a chore at the end of the day. And if we have the occasional carb based meal of pizza and Pepsi, I’ll enjoy my treat all the more. As an aside, Kevin and I are always looking for ways to serve our communities better. If you happen to see a “For Sale” sign on the building at 242 Main Street- Don’t panic! We are not closing our doors, but our lease is coming due so we will be moving to a different location this spring. 0001

FAMILY MATTERS PRACTICING PATIENCE AS A FAMILY Patience is described as quiet and steady. When we think of children in general, we don’t often think of them as quiet and steady. However, we know that patience as a skill, is valuable, even for young children. Patience is required in many aspects of their lives – standing in line at school, taking turns in class, waiting to speak. The question is, how do we teach our kiddos the art of being patient? Here are a few things parents can do. Time. Depending on your children’s ages, the concept of time can be an abstract thought to grasp. Instead of telling your kids their birthday is in two days, explain to them that today they are going to the library, tomorrow they will see grandma and then the next day it is their birthday! The words next, after, and then will help you describe time to a toddler and preschooler. Get a calendar for your older kids and mark events together. Use a marker to put a X on each day that passes. A calendar is
a great way to teach patience and time. Start small. Since patience is a skill, we should constantly reinforce and acknowledge it. Positive reinforcement is one of the most powerful motivators for kids and adults. Identify when your kiddos wait to speak, or when you are done with your task. Games. Playing games and having to take turns is another wonderful way to teach your children about patience. Playing board games or I Spy when standing in a line can help your kiddos learn to be present, mindful and aware of surroundings or others even while they wait. Vocabulary. Incorporate patient related words into your vocabulary. Use them often when you see examples of this trait to show your children what it looks, sounds and feels like to be patient. An example could be, we have been waiting a very long time for our dinner, we are being so patient!
Acknowledge Impatience. If your kids are struggling with patience, it helps to acknowledge patience is a hard quality to possess. Let them know it’s totally normal to feel frustrated with the slow passage of time or waiting for what you really want. Model patience when you can by engaging in slow activities like walks, book reading, meditation and storytelling. This month participate in the practice of patience as a family and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

LIFE BALANCE THE POSITIVE ACTION MOVEMENT Believe you can, and you’re halfway there. -T. Roosevelt. Many, particularly during the cold, dark Canadian winters, may feel like they are barely staying afloat. It is during these moments that our problems tend to be magnified, when we have a heightened sense of our issues, and when we are more sensitive to negativity. We are repeatedly reminded of the importance of remaining positive. This is a lot easier said than done, mostly because we cannot fake the feeling of positivity. We can, however, take this “down in the dumps” feeling and create beneficial change from it. Emphasis is on positive action. In other words, seeing the difficult aspects of your life as opportunities for change. With change, we see what is possible and achievable. Positive action can lead to positive thinking, which can in fact increase longevity, decrease the rate of depression and help you achieve better coping skills.
One of the key elements of this positive action movement is gaining clarity, by observing negative thoughts and seeing them for what they truly are – merely words. Once these thoughts are observed in a non-judgmental way (therefore, not giving them any true meaning), you can start contemplating the cause of the negative thoughts. Are you comparing yourself to others, feeling like a failure, feeling like you have no self-worth, feeling guilty, blameworthy or imperfect? If so, why? I believe that not engaging in enough self-care is at the root of many of our negative thoughts and negative selftalk. In this article, a lack of self-care is defined as not doing enough of what fulfills you in a day. An obvious solution to this problem is to engage in more activities that you enjoy doing, or that you feel better about yourself for doing. Examples may include: exercising, eating healthier foods, reading more,
or socializing. It may also help to create a positive home and work atmosphere, by incorporating such things as music, salt lamps, essential oils, and so on. By engaging in the positive action movement, and perhaps incorporating some of the tips suggested in this article, you are more likely to think in an increasingly positive way, feel more free and autonomous, as well as increase your tolerance for negativity. 0040

MORE THAN FITNESS IS STRESS AFFECTING YOUR HEALTH Stress has become such a common part of our everyday lives that we often don’t even realize how much it is affecting us. Why is this an issue? Stress symptoms can affect the body in many ways and if left unchecked, can lead to many health problems including high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and more. Unfortunately, it is possible to be suffering from extreme stress without even recognizing it and sometimes we do realize it but refuse to acknowledge just how badly we need relief from it. If you’re unsure if this is you, here are some examples of symptoms that are commonly associated with stress: Sleep – insomnia or interrupted sleep is a common symptom of stress; a racing mind and inability to fall asleep are also sure signs that you are experiencing stress; Muscle aches – when we are experiencing times of stress, it often shows up as muscle pain and aches as we are so tensed up we don’t even realize it – tightness in the neck,
shoulders and back are common areas to carry stress and many also experience pain in their jaws from clenching; Cravings – if you experience cravings for sugar, salt, caffeine or other vices, this could be a sure sign of stress – we often feel drawn to foods that comfort us during times of stress and these foods are different for everyone; Headaches – during times of stress, it is common to experience headaches which can vary in severity among individuals and can range from tension headaches to migraines – regular headaches are a sure sign of stress; Weakened immune system – being run down and experiencing regular illness can be directly related to stress as prolonged periods of stress can weaken the immune system. Do any of these symptoms sound familiar to you? If so, you are quite likely suffering from the effects of stress. In order to take care of yourself and avoid burnout, it is important to take the necessary steps to start to reduce your stress levels. By taking
charge or your health and working to reduce your stress levels, you will reduce your risk of developing stress related health issues. For tips on how you can begin to reduce stress in your life, visit my website at offers.lifestylesfitnessstudio. ca/wordpress/10-stress-relief-tips/ to download your free copy of my 10 Stress Relief Tips for Busy Women Guide and begin to put these steps in to practice today! 0044

UNFILTERED TASTE WINE LIKE A PRO Wine tasting in and of itself is relatively simple thing to do, after all it is just fermented grape juice. However, can you really describe what you are tasting? Are you able to put to words the various sensations and flavours that you experience when you drink a really great wine? Unless you have been formally trained, most people can not. In the article I would like to explain a few key components that will help you learn to taste wine like a pro, and to better understand what others are talking about when they are describing a wine to you. Having worked in the wine industry here in NB I have made thousands of wine recommendations to customers over the years, I have had many conversations with customers trying to decipher what they like and what they do not like in a wine. While it is very true that some wines are better than others, it really comes down to personal preference. I would often get that, deer in the
headlights expression when I would ask, Do you prefer high tannin or low tannin? or Full bodied or light bodied? Often clients would tell me that they prefer something fruity, when in fact they really mean something sweet. Sweetness and fruitiness mean two completely different things. So, let me take this opportunity to explain a few of the key elements and terms associated with wine tasting. Tannin. Tannins are the components in a red wine that give you the mouth drying sensation that can make you want to pucker. The higher the tannin the more intense the effect. A low tannin wine, like a pinot noir, is not as mouth drying as a high tannin wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon. Acidity. The acidity in a wine causes you to salivate. The more you salivate the higher the acidity level. Sauvignon Blancs and Italian wines are known for being higher acid, whereas Chardonnay is very low acid. High acid wines are known for pairing very well with food.
Fruitiness. Often confused with sweetness. Sweetness is felt on the tip of the tongue and contains sugar. However, a wine can be very fruity, yet completely dry. Many wines, both red and white, are unoaked, which results in very fruity wines. Many new wine drinkers believe that they only like sweet wines when in fact they simply don’t like oaked wines. 0042 Edited for space, see full article at ossekeag.ca.

LIVE WELL BETTER THINKING FOR MENTAL HEALTH Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words. Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions. Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny. Chinese Proverb Years ago, I heard the phrase: Our own crazy self-talk always makes sense. (Earnie Larsen). Believing our own false, inner dialogue can have devastating effects on our lives. Messages, such as: I’m stupid…I can’t…I’ll be happy when/if… He/she made me so angry… and so on, often determines attitude toward the self and life in general. We can become convinced that we are victims of life and circumstances, that others have it so much easier, and rail against life’s injustices. Why is it, that some people are so attached to their negative thinking that all the good things in their lives pass without notice,
but each negative thought or event attaches thus strengthening an opinion that some master puppeteer is deliberately singling them out for misery? It is something like the old fashioned sticky paper that hung down to trap flies; negative thinkers attract and attach to negativity while being unaware and ungrateful for the good things in their lives. Over time, such negative thinking becomes entrenched and habitual. Automatic negative thinking (ANT) influences mental health by releasing biochemical reactions and emotions which affect one’s mood and behavior. It goes without saying that our minds are powerful instruments and thinking, negative or positive, controls mood and behavior. Distorted thinking feeds anxiety, depression, health outcomes, quality of life, self-esteem, relationships, and so on. While the bad news is that negative thinking has such power, because it is a learned behavior the good news is that we can learn to think differently. It is not an easy task, because it requires considerable determination and effort. Becoming aware of negative
thinking, such as black and white thinking, where there are no grey areas, jumping to conclusions, catastrophizing, always being right, or predicting the future, is the first step in the change process. Like most changes, a decision is first required along with a commitment to do what it takes for as long as it takes to achieve the desired change. Once aware of the negative thought, picture a giant stop sign; counter the negative thought, for example changing the thought I’m stupid to I am a competent, capable person. Using distraction - moving to another location or activity can also help. Then, journal successes and challenges, and remember to strive for progress, not perfection. 0008

THE LITTLE JACKIE FUND In March of 2000, a cry for help was heard from a concerned grandmother. A vital orthodontic treatment for
her granddaughter was necessary. Her teeth were badly aligned causing pain and difficulty eating anything more than soft food. The family, living on a low income, were unable to pay for such a treatment. Thus, The Little Jackie Fund was founded. This March, we will celebrate 18 years of service with over 50 children receiving orthodontic treatment. A thorough review of family finances and a recommendation by a dentist for non cosmetic, necessary orthodontic treatment is required in order to accept a child into the program. We are most appreciative of the orthodontists and their staff that work with us and support us in our endeavours. The Little Jackie Fund is run by a board of volunteers under the umbrella of the Sussex Kiwanis Club. All monies go directly for orthodontic treatment. We are funded by, and most grateful for, generous corporate and personal donations. At this time, there are 12 children in various stages of treatment with more applications to be considered. Our funds are running low and as a registered charitable organization, we ask that you consider this most worthwhile cause. Donations can be made at TD Bank, Main Street, Sussex. 4856

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS As the 170 Hampton students start a new year of school, it’s worth remembering how paying their school fees helps reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS in a country that has the world’s highest incidence of AIDS. A 2003 study in Swaziland showed that far fewer in-school youths were sexually active than out-of-school youths. By putting Swazi youths in school, we are significantly decreasing the likelihood they will be sexually active, thereby reducing the primary means through which HIV is spread. Another study by the Swaziland Ministry of Health, shows that women are disproportionately affected by Swaziland’s HIV/AIDS epidemic. Within the population of Swaziland, 31% of all women are living with HIV, compared to 20% of men. Swaziland is a male-dominated, polygamous society where women are especially vulnerable to sexual dominance. Half of our Hampton students are female; this demonstration of gender equality is a foreign concept in Swaziland. Typically, in a family with scarce financial resources, the males Sin
are chosen to receive an education. By giving girls the opportunity to attend school, we allow them to build their self-confidence and self-esteem, giving them a higher degree of independence that allows them to say “no” to unsafe and unwanted sexual activity. Providing an education for females in Swaziland is a giant step toward a brighter, safer, and healthier future for the nation. At the other end of the age spectrum are the gogos (grandmothers) who are largely responsible for raising the children who have been orphaned by AIDS. Gogos in Swaziland are holding together the social fabric of their communities because the middle generation is not there: most have died from AIDS. At the Women’s Dinner last fall, we raised funds to support women in Swaziland, particularly the gogos. In 2018, we will use these funds in the most effective way possible – by paying school fees for 21 students who are being raised by their grandmothers. If you ask a gogo what she wants more than anything else, she will tell you it is a better future for her grandchildren. By giving
R-L Linda Dlamini, his Gogo and sister these grandchildren an education, that is precisely what we are doing. One of these students is Linda Dlamini. Linda lives with his disabled grandmother in Macambini, one of the most disadvantaged areas of Piggs Peak. Linda was a young man with seemingly no hope for a future but, because of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership, Linda went to school and became the top Form 4 (grade 11) student in every subject at Fundukuwela High School! We are always glad to help Swazi youth and elderly gogos but we are especially delighted to hear about success stories like Linda. If you would like to help, contact me, Mark Bettle at 832-0003 or markbettle1@gmail.com. 0010

ASK MARY SHOULD I TRY DATING AGAIN I’ve been a widow for a while and every February when valentine’s day comes around, I wonder if I should try dating again. What are your thoughts on this? You know what it’s like to share a life with someone you love so it’s no surprise that you wonder about dating again. But years have passed since you last dated and dating isn’t as easy or as comfortable as when you were younger. It’s hard to strike a balance between real love and all the demands of a mature woman. How do you know when it’s worth making a sacrifice for love? Loneliness: You’re still young and healthy so you get lonely and you sleep with a guy and then wonder if you slept with him because you care or because you just needed some sex. Plain and simple, and yet it can confuse us. But having different experiences isn’t about sleeping around. It’s not about who you let into your bed but who you let into your heart. You have to know when to
take care of yourself and understand how your emotions affect your decisions. Fear of being abandoned: This means cutting the dating short so that you are the one not committing instead of the man. The problem is that your fear of abandonment could be stopping you from making a good relationship into a great relationship. Fear of losing control: You may be looking for a relationship where you control everything but you won’t really learn anything new. You will always be the teacher/parent and that can be exhausting. Fear of being hurt: I understand this fear since whenever you put yourself out there there is the danger of your heart being hurt. But the other side is a lonely life without the hope of finding real love and having someone to share your life with. Fear of intimacy: Hey, we are all afraid of intimacy – it’s not like we are as young as
we used to be before we got married. This new man only knows us by what we look like today and there is some serious aging going on. The thing is you pay more attention to this than the man does. He is just as worried about how you will react to him. After all he isn’t as young as he used to be either. Please email your questions to: mary@ thesisterhoodofwidows.com 0016
