Kevin and I are so excited to welcome our daughter, Emma Jayne Crealock, to the world! Emma was due July 15, 2017, but I expected she would be late as that seems to be the trend in my family. Imagine my surprise when I woke up at around 2:30am on July 16 with labour pains! Emma was born July 17, 2017 at 4:01am by emergency C-section, weighing in at 5 lbs, 15 oz. She was so tiny, just a perfect little one arm bundle of joy. Despite the difficulties of the previous 24 hours, the moment I saw that little face everything else just faded away. I thought I was in love with my baby before… nothing prepares you for the moment when you finally meet. As any other parent can attest to, love at first sight does not begin to describe the enormity of the feelings that rush through you when your baby arrives. After spending four days in the hospital where help was just a second away, bringing baby home was a whole new experience… I don’t think the drive from Saint John ever seemed so long or dangerous. We did well though, only pulling over once to check on our precious bundle in the back seat. (I am especially proud of the fact that I only snapped at the other drivers on the road a couple of times. Kevin often laughs at my backseat-driver-road-rage.) Once Emma was tucked into her own little bassinet, Kevin settled me on the couch with strict instructions to rest. I wasn’t good for much more than staring at the bassinet and wondering at the fact that I was suddenly a mother. It hadn’t really sunk in until that moment when I was alone with this tiny little life for which I was now responsible.

Now six weeks later, despite the sleepless nights and days where I could break down in tears because I’ve tried everything but still can’t figure out why Emma is upset, Kevin and I still stare at our baby girl and marvel at the fact that we have been blessed with such a perfect little princess to complete our lives. He often looks and me and asks “are you sure she’s ours”, or, my personal favourite, “how did we get so lucky”….we are both in awe of the fact that we created such a sweet miracle! Kevin and I want to take this opportunity to extend a huge thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of the Labour and Delivery Department, NICU and Maternity Ward at the Saint John Regional Hospital. To Dr. Becky and Dr. Satya, thank you for bringing Emma into this world! (I have it on good authority that I have one of the best looking C-section scars out there, so thank you as well for your impeccable stitch work). To Alana, Rachel, Lynn, Jennifer and the rest of the staff on the labour and delivery ward, thank you for answering all of our questions and for ensuring we were comfortable every step of the way. To the staff on the maternity ward and in the NICU, thank you for the care and advice, the help and support and most of all for being a part of the most incredible journey Kevin and I have taken together thus far. Until next time, thank you for all you do! 0001

LIFE BALANCE MAKING SENSE OF LOVE “We are never so vulnerable as when we love.” Sigmund Freud Since my last post on relationships seemed to strike a chord among many people, I’ve written another post that touches on the ever-debatable topic of love. For this post, I will explore the topic of love through the therapeutic lens that I tend to use: the Emotionally Focused Therapy approach. In contrast to many therapeutic approaches that place emphasis on changing behaviours, Emotionally Focused Therapy, among many other things, seeks to transform a relationship by re-establishing a positive emotional connection. In other words, this approach brings to light each partner’s vulnerable emotions in hopes of gaining insight and new understanding into the relationship. This entails understanding a negative behaviour (i.e.: yelling or withdrawing) for the vulnerable emotional that it really is (i.e.: fear, loneliness, etc.). Once your partner understands that, for

instance, when you lash out and yell, it is actually a cry for help because you feel unheard or unimportant, fights will likely deescalate quicker and general tension in the relationship will begin to disappear. This change in dynamic will ultimately lead to a renewed sense of closeness and intimacy in the relationship. With the fear of arguing and isolation greatly lessened, couples can more easily express and respond to each other’s needs. This, in turn, leads to feeling supported and more prepared to move forward as a couple. This may all seem very technical or overwhelming. As a starting point, here are a couple of Emotionally Focused Therapy derived tips to help change the way you interact with your partner, thus helping re-establish a positive emotional connection. Observe what happens when you find openness with your partner difficult: do you withdraw, shut down, yell, pick a fight? Communicate this with your spouse. Talk

about how he/she impacts your behaviour. When you feel off, take a moment to reflect on why, and try to share with your partner what you need the most at that moment: do you need to hear “I love you,” do you need to be comforted, or do you need quality time. Keep your request short, sweet and simple. Once a day, openly ask your partner for their attention and affection: this is not clingy or needy. On the contrary. Attention and affection are wired-in desires that make up our survival code. Own it! 0040

HOPE AFTER STROKE Our name is Hope after Stroke Incorporated. We are a newly founded non-profit support group for stroke and brain injury survivors, created by survivors, for survivors and caregivers. We know all too well just how difficult physically, mentally and emotionally the recovery process is after a life-changing illness. There was only one support group in the whole province and we decided we needed to do something about this! We do not want who we are, to overshadow what we are doing. As

survivors we have walked in the same shoes, understand the fears, frustration and know the gap that exists between hospital to home. We are trying to fill that gap by working with the hospital and Heart and Stroke Foundation to facilitate a course called Living Stroke, a six to eight week course for stroke patients that have been rehabilitated, released and have re entered their home and community. As stroke survivors, who better to teach this course than someone who has gone through it,

along with health care professionals. Our mission is to continually SEEK: support, education, empower and kindness. To do this we are in need of survivors, volunteers, funding and experienced board members that can help us to continually grow in a positive direction for all survivors and caregivers. Any and all help that we receive from the Saint John and surrounding area is greatly appreciated. For Info: Wendy McKinnon at 506-3333131 or wrmckinnon@hotmail.com. 4679

LIVE WELL FORGIVING OURSELVES Carl Jung, noted psychiatrist, wrote: “If one can accept one’s sin, one can live with it. If one cannot accept it, one has to suffer the inevitable consequences.” In other words, we must embrace our failures along with our successes to stop pain and be free of regret and remorse. I submit that there are very few of us who do not have regrets about something we have done or not done. Regrets chain us to the past leaving us sad, frustrated, and disappointed. Healing requires that we accept ourselves as “perfectly imperfect,” and “masterpieces in progress.” Failure to meet unrealistic expectations of ourselves or others is labelled as failures, subject to disappointment and frustration. Over and over, messages of failure can come to mean that we are failures, not that we made mistakes and we become “human doings rather than human beings,” in the words of John Bradshaw. Success becomes measured by what we own and control. Although acceptance of our humanity

and our imperfect lives are key to a happy and satisfied life, an inability to forgive ourselves or others for being human and perfectly imperfect, can keep us from using these experiences as powerful learning opportunities. Failures give us a second chance to choose again, whether they be in our professional or personal lives. Here are some unrealistic expectations that we need to let go of if we are to be in love with our lives: Life should be fair; Opportunities will just happen; Everyone should like me; Everyone should agree with me; People should know what I am trying to say or expect; I’m going to fail anyway; Things will make me happy; I can change him/her. (Travis Bradbury, Ph.D.) Challenging these beliefs means that we recognize not everything in life is fair. We create our own opportunities by considering what we need to do to remove obstacles in our path. Not everyone will like us, sometimes for no good reason

at all. Bending, folding and mutilating ourselves to be pleasing to others does not work in the long term. We all are entitled to have opinions that are often in conflict with others; however, if we are mature enough to open our minds, we can learn and grow from conflicting opinions. It is said that as we think, so we are. If we think we are a failure, we will be. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are miserable; things don’t make one happy. And finally, we cannot change others only ourselves. So, forgive yourself for being perfectly imperfect and look for the lesson in all perceived failures. 0008

CHICK’S NIGHT OUT This is not a normal grief support group – it is a social get together both online and face-to-face. It's where women who have lost a loved one share their tears and learn to laugh again. It's about healing and learning to have fun as we get back on our feet. We sometimes have guest speakers, games or just about anything could be happening. No invitation is necessary, just bring a friend and a potluck dish to share. A special meal with friends is a gift of healing. There are no fees and no obligations – just new friends to meet. Starting Wednesday, October 4. Continuing the first Wednesday of the Month from 5:00-8:00pm. At Brenan's Bay View Funeral Home, 1461 Manawagonish Road, Saint John West.

IN THE GARDEN WATER..... THAT MOST PRECIOUS The life giving gift from the heavens, seems to be evading us; however the shortage of it should be keeping us mindful of its value and our responsibility in conserving it. There is no doubt that it has dramatic impact on what we are able to accomplish in the garden, with soil compacted to a concrete like substance digging is a positive chore; so what to do? Well....even though the fruit crop may not be the juiciest in history, there is still a viable crop of berries and apples and in preparation for the season ahead one can get a good start on stowing away preserves; currant jellies of all persuasions have a mighty Vitamin C content and a spoonful of the same in a mug of hot water is as good a cure /preventive measure for colds as any medication, pleasant on the taste buds and a soothing invitation to sleep! We are surrounded by all sorts of goodies in the garden and countryside

that need no heavy digging to harvest and that provide a wealth of free entertainment and lasting pleasure on a cold winter day. Now is the hour (remember that waltzy WWII song?) to gather Fir and Pine cones and the abundance of flowers, wild and tame, to create table centres and arrangements; great ideas for gifting and wonderful for crafts of many kinds. If you have access to either a Buckeye or Horse Chestnut, the sky's the limit; growing up during the war was certainly a challenge and we learned to make the best of what was available, these wonderful trees opened the door of our imaginations and we produced amazing furniture for dolls houses with the help of yarn and straight pins. Another great activity for children is the creating of miniature gardens, using the mosses and seed pods that abound in gardens, woodlands and even roadside ditches; the gathering of

these things can make for a wonderful family adventure that can be enjoyed without spending any money and of course, can be a great way of teaching the value of our natural world. Waiting .. While we wait for the skies to deliver, may we spare a thought and a prayer for those poor souls in Texas and elsewhere who have had an overdose of water and wild weather, as we count our blessings with thankfulness. Blessings. Edited for space. See full article at ossekeag.ca 0039

HAMPTON’S PIGGS PEAK NEWS “New data from Swaziland provide some of the most convincing evidence yet that aggressively ramping up treatment for HIV/AIDS works on a population level to cut the rate of new infections. The kingdom has had one of the worst HIV/AIDS epidemics in the world, but since 2011, its massive scaleup of testing and treatment has slashed the rate of new infections by 44%.” This gives us hope that our neighbours there will one day emerge from under the cloud of death, poverty, and broken families that now shadows the country. We must remember though that, while new infections are down, there is still no cure for those currently infected. And there is no quick solution for the decimation of the country’s social fabric that AIDS has caused. But through the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership, we are helping to mend a broken society. Through our involvement, we are slowly making improvements in the social framework of Piggs Peak. By paying high school fees in Piggs Peak (currently 75 females and 75 males), our Partnership is alleviating

poverty; promoting human rights for everyone; supporting gender equality; and empowering women and girls. We have every reason to be optimistic about the future that we are helping to create in Swaziland. Dr. Beverly Bryde, dean of education at Cabrini University in Pennsylvania, recently wrote, “In Swaziland, the culture identifies women as less important than men. Access to education and knowledge of the global situation can help these women to demand more and be able to articulate their needs such as education. If women spend more time in school, they are more likely to climb

out of this trap. Each year of secondary education… gives women in developing countries more of an opportunity have a successful life.” “The importance of education goes further than making people more educated and involved in the world around them. Women especially feel more empowered and ultimately have a better chance at thriving if they are given the opportunity to stay in school.” In October, people in the Hampton area will have the opportunity to hear first-hand about the importance of an education in Swaziland. We will be hosting two young women from Piggs Peak, Esther Dlamini and Dolly Sihlongonyane, who will be speaking to a number of people and groups in Hampton about their experiences as young woman in Swaziland. The highlight of their visit will be a Women’s Dinner on Saturday, November 4. For more information, contact me, Mark Bettle, at markbettle1@ 0010 gmail.com or 832-0003. Edited for space.

WELL RESTED A FRESH START FOR YOUR SLEEP HEALTH! The summer is at an end and vacation is over. These crisp early mornings and turning leaves sometimes feel more like a fresh start even than New Year’s Day or spring. With the memories of the first day of school and brand new paper and pencils, many of us vow to make a fresh start by cleaning out our garages and heading back to the gym. How about making a fresh start with your health? A great place to start is with an assessment of your sleep! Grab a pen and answer the following questions: Do you snore? Are you tired in the day? Has anyone seen you gasp or snort in your sleep? Do you have high blood pressure? Are you overweight? Are you over 50? Do you have a thick neck? Are you male? How many times did you answer “YES?” You may be at risk for having Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Yes to 0 - 2 questions, Low Risk; Yes to 3 - 4 questions, Intermediate Risk; Yes to 5 - 8 questions, High Risk!

More and more people are being tested and diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. This is a condition where your throat repeated closes off on you when you are sleeping. The arousals from sleep to start breathing again cause daytime sleepiness and negative cardiovascular changes. There are dozens of studies that show the correlation between diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular problems. High blood pressure, diabetes, depression, chronic headaches and car accidents are just a few of negative outcomes from untreated sleep apnea. The gold standard treatment for Sleep Apnea is CPAP, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. Air pressure is blown gently into the airway through a small mask on the face. This air holds the throat open so the person breathes at night the same as they do during the day, just like they are supposed to. An added benefit; no more snoring! Equipment

is becoming so small, quiet and comfortable that people can sleep well with the mask now. The health benefits are so numerous that it is probably a benefit on your health insurance plan. Even those who have previously tried CPAP without success, are being encouraged to try again by their doctors. Make an appointment now to talk to your doctor about sleep apnea, you will be glad that you did! 0038
