During any transition, one works toward overcoming grief and with time becoming open to new possibilities. Transition phases are rich with possibilities. They allow us to reinvent and rediscover ourselves, as well as examine our needs and expectations for the future. Here are some ideas to facilitate your transition: 1.Take the time to acknowledge what was lost and what you cherished about that period of your life. 2. List the things you tolerated during that period to create a balanced perspective. 3. Revisit your values and needs, and use them to guide the new direction and goals you will give to your life. 4. Experiment with new dreams.Think out of the box!This may just be the time to pursue a dream that had been put on ice. 5. Find sources of inspirations. Ask people about their success stories on overcoming change or read about change and resilience. 6.Work with a coach.They are great support to assist you with the climb and make the journey a true discovery process. Manon Dulude Ph.D is a certified professional coach (PCC) and a certified member with OACCPP. She can be reached at info@ forgecoachingandconsulting.com How can I come out victorious from a period filled with change? A: Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) is a system of medicine that has existed for over 2000 years. Its use has spread into North America but with varying standards of education, training, and regulation. On April 1, 2013 Ontario regulated the profession of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Regulation is a wonderful thing in that it creates a standardized level of training and patient care within the field of Chinese Medicine. It also helps legally ensure that the public is protected. With the advent of regulation, more and more extended health plans are covering Acupuncture when provided by a Registered Acupuncturist (RAC) or a Registered TCM Practitioner (RTCMP). You'll want to check with your insurance provider to determine if you have coverage and in what amount. Acupuncture is effective in the treatment of pain and sports injuries as well as women's health issues. To see whether Acupuncture andTCM may be a fit for you, you may contact Carolyn directly at cdew@healthspan.ca or check out her website at www.carolyndew.ca Q: I heard that Acupuncture recently becameregulated. How do I know who to see and if I have coverage?

Submitted photo Peewee Twisters take it outside The Blazin' Bandits from the North Hal- ton Girls' Hockey Association's peewee house league had the opportunity earlier this month to take part in the only youth tournament in Canada that is sanctioned for a body of water. The Twisters went undefeated through the preliminary round at the Under The Lock Hockey Tournament on the Trent Canal in Pe- terborough and made it to the final against Les Tornadoes from Gatineau, Que. Bandits' goalie Hannah Zmigrodzki, who had given up only two goals in the tourna- ment up to that point, broke her ankle during the second period but stayed and cheered her teammates on from the bench as Les Torna- does prevailed 1-0.
