Living The Dream

FIRSTPUBLICATION

r Mark and Joanne Graham ‘Living the Dream”

Jordan Springs, Penrith’s Newest community, has many draw cards, some of which worked wonders when Mark and Joanne Graham decided to build in the friendly quiet community.

At the time they decided to buy, Lend Lease had an offer that was too good to refuse. Offering NO STAMP DUTY for

building and with close friends also taking up the same offer it was an even easier decision to make.

It was really love at first sight, when not only had they decided to build their dream home, but Mark chose to propose to Joanne with a candle-lit dinner surrounded by the framework that was (and is) their forever home.

Currently they are enjoying married life in Jordan Springs and look forward to building a family together in the picturesque settings. With tempting walking tracks, beautiful parks easy access to all amenities such as child cares, schools and a developing shopping centre there was no need to look anywhere else.

Keeping You PostedNew owners, Afzalur Afzal and wife Rayhana Roma have taken

on the exciting new venture that is Llandilo Post Office.Originally from Bangladesh the couple are looking forward to

serving the community by providing an honest reliable service. Together they have a 7 year old son and are in love with the local community and how warm and welcome they have been made to feel in their short time in the business.

With 15 years’ experience behind him as an accountant, Afzalur enjoys his new role. He and Rayhana take on the Post Office from the previous owners who have since retired.

They have new items coming and pride themselves on the convenience they offer. The store offers all stationery supplies, postal items, gift cards bill payments, banking and postal boxes (with some available for rent). Pop in, and extend a warm welcome.

Luke Priddis Foundation Did you know that as many as 1 in 88 people are on the Autism

Spectrum? While many people with Autism are able to live a relatively “normal” life, for many life is a daily struggle.

Imagine having a child who doesn’t know how to express love, who doesn’t hug you and who becomes violently ill when exposed to new smells or bright lights. Imagine a child who needs constant supervision so they don’t hurt themselves, run away or hurt others.

There is no cure. But there is hope. Early intervention, like the programs run by the Luke Priddis

Foundation make a difference and give kids and their families the support and assistance they need to overcome hurdles so they can participate fully in their community.

We need YOUR help as we endeavour to do more and reach more kids – for more information, email General Manager Shane Skeen at [email protected].

What is the meaning of life?

There are many people who think that there is no meaning. We are smart animals created by chance. And if God does not exist, then this view would be right.

But what if there really was a god? The Christian faith teaches that there really is a god who has made the entire cosmos with a purpose.

The meaning of life is; to have a relationship with God.

God made us have a relationship with Him. Not the sort of relationship where we might visit and talk to each other once or twice a year. God has made us for a relationship that’s like a stay-at-home-parent and a toddler. It is a relationship where we are in constant engagement and conversation. God wants us to enjoy everything there is in the cosmos while also enjoying a constant relationship with Him.

What is EFT?EFT is a combination of acupressure and psychotherapy, based on the TCM model of acupuncture. It quickly, gently and easily releases the negative emotions and beliefs that are at the root of most of our problems and pain, by releasing stress in the body. Stress is known as the silent killer. It leads to a multitude of health problems including high blood pressure, depression, anxiety disorders, mental illness, heart attack and stroke. Many experts believe that the number one killer on the planet is STRESS! Up to 95% of all physical and nonphysical health problems have stress as their origin. Every time we have a health problem we should be asking, “What stress is causing this, and how can I eliminate it?”

EFT is one of the very few Complementary Therapies with clinical trials which prove its effectiveness. It is stress relief right at your finger tips.You owe it to yourself and your family to get your life back on track.

Rhonda specialises in EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes referred to as Tapping Therapy

Facebook Page Stirs Up Old Memories Graham Chapman who grew up in Llandilo had no idea the

impact his Facebook page ‘Memories of Penrith’ was going to have on the greater Penrith region and community. Launched in May, it had 10,000 followers in the first week and currently stands at over 15,000 likers. The page became the fastest growing Facebook page in Penrith.

His Facebook page is not only designed to attract attention from locals but allows you to take a walk down memory lane. People are reliving places such as the old mud baths, swimming in the weir, the pulley system at Warragamba Dam and the floods from the past.

Old friendships have been rekindled and many are finding those they had lost contact with through the site. “I have had probably 60 to 70 messages from people who have rekindled old friendships and relationships.” said Graham. Mr Chapman has also started Memories of Blue Mountains. “Like” the page at facebook.com/memoriesofpenrith, and take a trip down memory lane.

“I close my eyes and can still remember Bob Fraser on Eighth Avenue Llandilo, as he spent months preparing for the annual cracker night, every spare fallen tree or bit of rubbish was dragged onto his property for a bonfire”

“On Seventh Avenue, Llandilo you will find Wilson Park. It was named after this man Jack Wilson who proudly served the community with his wife for so many years. Do you remember JACK?”

No Deposit? No Worries!The biggest hurdle for most people stopping them from purchasing a home is the deposit.

Trying to save up while paying the ever increasing rent can seem impossible. Traditional mortgages allow you to borrow up to 95% of the value of a home, but you

need to show the bank that you have at least 5% ‘Genuine’ savings plus enough funds to cover Stamp Duty, Mortgage Insurance, Legal Fees and other costs. On a $450,000 purchase this can easily add up to over $40,000!

But do not despair, there are a number of products available from a range of banks and lenders that can reduce and even eliminate the need for a deposit, meaning that you can jump into the property market now and escape the rent trap. Give us a call to discuss your options. Home ownership may be closer than you think.

SPOTLIGHT ON . . .

Sarina, Roy + Team – IGA LlandiloIGA Llandilo is owned and operated by local couple Sarina and Roy Fabiano

who have lived in Llandilo for 24 years and boast a whopping 22 years in the business. Together they have two children who themselves are heavily involved in the business along with 6 other staff members.

The family pride themselves on the product they sell. If they wouldn’t buy it, they don’t sell it! If it’s not fresh- they don’t stock it.

There are two base emotions – fear and love. How do fear and love play out in your parenting?

Fear-based parenting views the child as bad, annoying, or time-consuming. Love-based parenting views your child as worthy of your love, time, and attention. Fear-based parenting views the child as “manipulative and attention seeking”. Love-based parenting recognises that all behaviour arises from a need (physical, emotional, intellectual), and sometimes behaviour is a way of attempting to make a connection with the parent.

Fear-based parenting emphasises the need for discipline and punishment. Love-based parenting emphasises the need for guidance, education, and relationship. Fear-based parenting seeks revenge or payback for a child’s behaviour. Love-based parenting seeks belonging and connection for the child.

Fear-based parenting notices “bad” behaviour. Love-based parenting notices mistaken behaviour (Dan Gartrell).

When we move from fear-based parenting to love-based parenting we move from ME (parent’s agenda) to WE (parent and child together). It is no longer us versus them.

In fear-based parenting the parent reacts. In love-based parenting the parent responds. In times of high emotion, the parent remembers to Stop-Breathe-Think-then Do.

In fear-based parenting the child’s feelings are dismissed. In love-based parenting the child’s feelings are acknowledged.

In fear-based parenting, the parent persuades, nags, begs, yells, and hits. In love-based parenting, the parent employs the “no talking, no emotion” strategy in dealing with mistaken behaviour (Dr Thomas Phelan). Fear-based parenting focuses on the person doing the wrong thing. Love-based parenting focuses on the behaviour.

Through fear-based parenting, the child experiences shame, which can last a lifetime. Through love-based parenting, the child experiences guilt, which is short-term (Dr Daniel A Hughes). In fear-based parenting, the parent feels shame, blame, and guilt. In love-based parenting, the parent tries to be real (Scott Noelle http://www.enjoyparenting.com/daily-groove/be-real).

In fear-based parenting, the parent burdens the child with his or her own feelings, demands an insincere apology, and does not apologise for his or her own inappropriate behaviour. In love-based parenting, the parent talks about OK/not OK for self and child, seeks relationship repair, admits wrongdoing, and role models saying sorry.

Fear-based parenting values the child for what he or she does. Love-based parenting values the child for who she or he is.

In fear-based parenting, the parent is operating at a head level. In love-based parenting, the parent is operating from a heart level.

“How do your words fall on your child’s heart?” (Lisa Nichols).

PAWS A WHILEwith Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital

Staff Continuing EducationEven though the

veterinarians and nurses at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital have studied and completed their relevant courses, there is always something new to learn. New products, drugs and procedures are being discovered all the time and we need to keep up to date with the current technology. For example, Hills Pet Nutrition is releasing a new veterinary only product range for cats and dogs.

We allocate time each week where company representatives visit our clinic to provide on site training on new products. We also attend seminars and conferences, participate in webinars and complete many online refresher courses.

Belinda attended the Veterinary Nurses Conference in Melbourne recently and came back with many new ideas and different ways of doing things to ensure the smooth running of the veterinary hospital.

Come and ask us a question, if we do not know the answer, we will find it for you.

One of my favourite quotes is ‘If you learn one new thing a day, then it is a good day!’.

AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT!

r Winny & Alex have got Talent!

Sparks Fly!Locals Alex Robinson and girlfriend

Winny are set to send sparks flying as they take to the stage on Australia’s Got Talent, due to be screened later this year on Channel 9.

Winny is set to entertain the audience by singing Taylor Swift’s “Sparks Fly” while executing amazing, high flying cheerleading stunts while Alex, a former Penrith High School student, dazzles viewers performing break-dancing and backflips throughout their routine.

The pair’s first audition received excellent praise from the directors of the program with special mention of Winny’s song choice and the entire performance. The pair was invited to perform their routine in front of judges Gerri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Timomatic, Kyle Sandilands and Dawn French at the Riverside Theatre (Parramatta) last month. The advertisement for the live show quoted, “be one of the first to see the SPARK’S FLY”, referencing the duo’s spectacular act.

Be sure to tune-in later this year and offer your support for our local talent!

KEEPING FIT WITH Rj Kick start your day with a Green Smoothie!

Green smoothies are all the rage these days. They are a delicious blend of fruit and vegetables and are great for assisting with weight loss and overall health. Full of antioxidants, adding just one glass to your diet each day, can help you to achieve your daily recommended intake of fruit and vegetables.

There are heaps of great recipes out there but to start you off, try blending 2-3 cups green vegetables (spinach, kale), 2-3 serves of fruit (pineapple, banana, grapes), a squeeze of lemon, water and ice. For a smoothie consistency you may need to blend several times or invest in a heavy duty blender. Also, try experimenting with your own combinations.

Green smoothies are filled with nutrients and packed with vitamins and minerals. Including them in your daily diet can lead to a clearer mind, smoother skin, more energy and less cravings for junk food. Kick start your day with a green smoothie today!
