Hello Everyone … Editor’s Blurb
We have now entered winter, the days shorter and the nights longer. June July and August it doesn't seem long when you say it, but somehow these three months pass by slowly, with the chilly mornings, cold/wet days where you find it hard to keep warm and then the dark murky wet evenings chilling your bones. Our seasons are forever changing where mother nature has her say bringing stormy weather, earthquakes, tornadoes and flooding … yep the Mount can’t rule out tornadoes. So one has to wonder what is in store for us this winter?.
When you think about the whole round picture of the world there is something going on somewhere bringing peoples lives down. War, tidal waves, earthquakes, flooding, fire, transport disasters or people on rage with firearms. Very scary and not a nice thought, but a reality that somewhere or somehow something will come to test your strength. It doesn't matter who you are or how rich or smart you are the chances are your turn will prevail. Like me I'm sure many think oh I wish I had a life like ….. But when you look into other peoples lives you find that they too have problems to face. Celebrities lives come with sacrifices and mainly due to too much fame and money. They are not smart enough to stay away from the addictions, sexual encounters, drugs, alcohol, and crime which leads onto stress and suicide for some. When you really look at them, are they really happy with their life? Or are they too wishing they could live like someone else? The rich become too frivolous and end up loosing everything through greed. Look at half the lotto winners, too much money for a human to handle, marriages break up and in the end broke. For me I would like to see the Lotto split up between more people giving them just enough to sort out mortgages and live a little more comfortably. $500.000 is more than enough to help a family out of trouble. Are us humans smart? Stripping and taking the goodness out of our land, building on everything and playing with the atmosphere sending rockets to the moon etc. Here’s a thought, when birds make their nests in the trees they gather bits from the ground to build the nest, they raise their chicks and then leave the nest which in time rots away leaving no harm to the tree’s… Humans cut down the trees to build houses, shopping centres and roads. … Food for thought. Enjoy life while you can.

Here's the opportunity to plan ahead for your "trip of a lifetime" by choosing and decorating your coffin and saving money at the same time. Make your coffin represent what was important to you in your life; family, sports, hobbies. Purchase the professionally made kit-set and then personalise it. You can paint or wallpaper it and then add pictures, stencils, linings and handles. Anything is possible! Depending on the finish and handles, coffins will cost approx. $350.00 - $400.00 Make it a project for yourself or for family and friends too, or come along to help and support others at what can be a difficult time of life. Help is also wanted to make Baby coffins for Tauranga Hospital. -

I have suffered with chronic pain and headaches on and off, over a period of 20+years. After having tried all the conventional methods and possibly a few less than conventional methods, swallowing pain killers and anti-inflammatories every day (sometimes several times a day) I saw an advertisement for Flinchlock Release Therapy. Since my first appointment with Brock, 5 weeks ago, I have not had one anti-inflammatory and only the occasional paracetamol. The change for me, has being phenomenal. - -

Babies and infants are precious. Everything babies and toddlers experience affects their brains forever. The way you treat your children counts – and it counts long term. Children are not tough. They are not too young to notice. They do not just get over it. Love care and attention will help children to become happy and stable adults. Shouting, hitting, violence, abuse and ignoring your child have a very bad effect on your baby’s and young child’s brain development. This can cause problems later at school; as teenagers; as adults. Parenting can be tough but one of the most important things you can do is provide a safe home, calm and free from violence for your children. If you get early help the risk of the children suffering long term effects will be less. To get help talk to someone you trust. A support agency that helps families.

Mobile Phone: Make sure your mobile phone is fully charged … put your ID detail on your phone. Keep your mobile on you at all times in case you need it. Drink: Monitor your drink intake. Intoxication puts you in a vulnerable place for danger (disputes, rape, Alcatraz lockup) Don’t make an idiot of yourself that you can’t remember and regret. Carry some morals with you while out having fun. Don't scull or mix your drinks. Groups: You are far more safe by staying in groups or with a friend. Take extra care if out on your own. Spiking Drinks: Buy your own drink. Don’t leave your drink un-attended!!! Keep your drink in sight at all. times and know who is around you. Don’t share drinks - this can be a danger. It could be spiked.

Counselling
CC’s News Letter, Phone: 021 501 200 ... Email: cindysccsnewsletter@gmail.com
Counselling is becoming a more accepted and recognised natural therapy that can assist us in dealing with past, current and everyday issues that we encounter throughout our life. The types of issues that it can help with are life transitions, assisting us to know ourselves better, how to communicate in a positive and productive way, an understanding of why we make poor choices again and again. Also the reason we lack self-esteem and confidence, the effect stress can have upon our health and how to deal with it, childhood issues, abuse, addiction, Grief and loss, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and motivation.

Counselling can, and usually does, involve talking about difficult or painful feelings and as you begin to face them, often you may feel worse in some ways, however with the help and support of your therapist you should gradually start to feel better. This can take a number of sessions but with regular commitment and work more often than not a positive outcome is achieved and the future is a lot brighter.
I have had clients comment that they only wish they had been taught how to better communicate when they were at school, it may have saved their relationship, their marriage, business, job and potentially improved many other area’s of their life. The philosophy is quite simple really, for example; “You make me behave like that” as opposed to “I feel like you don’t respect me when you do that” The first statement blames and is confrontational, argumentative! The second keeps the discussion on a personal level, you are stating how YOU feel, and invite the other person to say how they feel, which can then produce a more productive conversation. Counselling should not be a series of costly chats; it involves talking about sensitive issues, thoughts and feelings in order to help you cope better with your life and the issues you have. A good counsellor focuses on you and listens without judgment, leading or advising, your Counsellor should help you deal with your problems in a constructive positive way, helping you to gain a better understanding of your thought processes and identifying ways in which to find your own solutions to the problem.
For Counselling to be effective you need to build a trusting and safe relationship with your Counsellor, they are there to support you and respect your views, values and beliefs. In order to get the most out of the sessions you should feel comfortable with the Counsellor you have chosen, if this is not the case, discuss this with them. I personally, try to assist my client in finding a more suited therapist to their needs.
Most reputable Counsellors will be registered with a professional organisation and qualified in providing a therapy that is relevant to your needs, do not be afraid to ask. Fees vary, discuss with your Counsellor at initial contact, , I always make my first appointment free, that way my potential client can meet with me and decide if they feel comfortable enough to return and also, and more importantly, that I feel I can really assist my client with their particular issue.

Better Send Off - Funeral Guide Giveaway
Just like talking about sex won't make you pregnant, talking about death won't make you dead! From the time we are born we are all dying, everything that lives must die - we plan for births and marriages and other significant events in our lives but most of us don't give our departure from this earth much thought. Gail McJorrow, author of NZ's best-selling Funeral Guide - 'Better Send Off' has now made it easy for you with her one-stop shop funeral website and book. The website is a first for NZ and has all the information you will need to learn not only how to save thousands of dollars on a funeral but also all sorts of ideas on how to personalise a funeral as well as leave a 'green' footprint. There is a comprehensive products and services directory that sells everything from inexpensive flatpack beautiful pine caskets to hand-blown glass jewellery and ornaments that hold a portion of your loved ones ashes. Gail says pre-planning is crucial to having a good send off. You can download a 'Funeral Wish List' from her website and she urges you to take half an hour out of your life to do this; at the very least you must let your family know if you want to be buried or cremated. She has seen families fall out over what song was played at the funeral. By letting your family know your wishes they won't have to second guess and you will make their life easier at what will be a very hard and stressful time for them.
