Blessed!

I have been truly blessed this last week! On Thursday last week I found out that I had been successful in the Gallipoli 2015 Ballot and had received a Double Pass to attend the Dawn Service & Lone Pine Service celebrating the Centenary of ANZAC!!! I am truly blown away and excited that I would be one chosen out of 43,000+ that were in the Ballot. It also allows me to share it with Dad who has always wanted to go and this makes me happy! So Dad and I are heading to Gallipoli next year! (now to save for it haha).

Also this week I had the SA Mary Kay Quarterly Awards and took home numerous prizes including Unit Queen and State Queen of Sales plus I also moved up to Team Manager which is one step away from my goal of Director. I truly love the company, they are wonderful to work for and so giving. If you want to read more about that night  go to my makeup blog at http://makeupbybecr.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/dreams-stars.html.

So Easter is coming, it seems a little later this year but it is coming. What does that mean to you? For many it means too much chocolate, family, holidays (I am definitely looking forward to these!) but there is a reason for it. Only reflecting and celebrating on the most heroic act ever done for us! Jesus gave his life for each and everyone of us so that we can be free. I love the music written about this amazing act and I get to sing so much of it. This year is no different, Soul Factor present their Easter Concert "Calvary, Oh Calvary" this Sunday evening the 13th at 7pm. It is a truly beautiful and uplifting array of music to help you get ready for Easter. There are some tickets still available so get to our website to book, you do not want to miss it!

For Easter this year I will be the special guest artist at the Belgrave Easter Convention in Victoria. I am looking forward to singing for and sharing with all the attendees of this conference over the 4 days. I would appreciate your prayers as this is a big weekend for me and I pray that God speaks through my music.

Wishing you and your family an wonderful Easter. May you experience God's love and enjoy your time together.

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...

Where has all the time gone to?

Oh my goodness, it is March and this is the first blog post I am writing this YEAR!! I am sorry for the lack of blog posts. This year has started off with a bang and kept going and now is flying past! So let's catch up. 2019 began actually slowly for me, for the past few years I have had Oklahoma in the first week of January but this year we didn't have it so it was nice to have some holidays as last year was crazy! But the new year started with an Elvis Gig on the 6th, great to catch up and sing with the band again and then I headed off to Kuala Lumpur for Mary Kay Leadership Conference.  I had a ball there, meeting and learning from other Directors in Malaysia, Phillipines and Singapore but also getting to know the Aussie and NZ Directors better. Plus I had to sing in the Talent Night with the rest of the Directors from Aus/NZ Dancing behind and WE WON!! Hilarious but a fab time.  So then it was back and straight into rehearsals for Soul Factor's Fringe show ...

How it Ends....

Usually with tears haha!! Sadly all good things do have to come to an end and on Saturday evening the season of "Big Fish" The Musical had its last bow. But what an amazing time it was! Often you'll get to the end of doing a show (which has taken months of your life up) and think "it's been great but be glad to finish", Big Fish was not like that at all. I have been blessed to do some fabulous shows, with great people and of course when your passion is performing and you get to do it everyday, you don't want to let it go. But from the first rehearsal, we all knew we had something special. The musical itself is a magical journey filled with colour, joy and mythical characters entwined with real life and love, the music although sometimes called unmemorable is just beautiful and not only am I not over it, I can't seem to stop listening to it! Our orchestra was so amazing with the difficult score, and the backstage & technical crew were phenomena...
