Speaking Life!

What a beautiful day!! I am so grateful for days like these and the weekend we just had. Sun, flowers and butterflies make me happy and glad that winter is behind us!

I had a great night last Friday singing with Marion City Band for their annual charity concert. This year's charity was Legacy and it was wonderful to hear of their work and support them as they do so much for our servicemen and women. I sang an array songs which were then added to a great mix of wartime and favourite songs of those wartime eras. Some of my songs were Secret Love, Someone to Watch Over Me, All that Jazz, Sway and Summertime. The audience were great and thoroughly enjoyed the music. Are any of those songs favourites of yours?
It was great to sing with a brass band again and to share with a new audience.

Do you ever think or take notice of the words that you speak? Do you realise that it could be affecting your life, your relationships, your work? I myself an a talker, if you know me you may be laughing to yourself right now haha! I admit it and I come from a family of talkers. We speak our minds and also sort out problems verbally which of course can sometimes lead to arguments until we sort it out but for the most part I am a positive person and so try to keep my works positive.
Sometimes life can cause us to become negative and complain or we might get caught up talking about someone in a negative way. I admit to this myself at times and I am conscious of wanting to change this.

On the weekend it was bought to my attention again that what we say can be used for good or bad and can really hurt people.  I don't want this to be the case with me and God doesn't either. He wants us to be encourages and speak life into others. A verse that I pray is


So what are your words saying about you? So let's try and speak life and love dear people!

Have a great week

Happy Birthday Songs!

So I'm now 31! I can not believe a year has already passed since my 30th and all that was going on at that time. There I was last year thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm in a new age range I've hit 30" and that year has already past. Well, I can say that being in your 30's is not bad actually and if anything I am happy I'm here, yes minus a few things I thought I would have gained in that 30th year but I am happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love me so I am extremely grateful. This years birthday was a lot less flashy than last years (thank goodness because that was a lot of work haha!) but lovely all the same. It began actually on Saturday, my sister Liv had organised a breakfast and surprised me by inviting some of girlfriends to join us. The cafĂ© we went to was Harvest in Mylor, South Australia. It was really adorable and encourage you to check it out some time. We sat outside in gorgeous weather, under the tress and enjoyed each others company and...

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"

I can't believe I am sitting here already a week after the opening of Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm and we have finished another fabulous season and I've already jumped into rehearsals for the next couple of things. But I wanted to take a moment to again talk about this show and to say how grateful I am to be able to perform like this. This season of Oklahoma was HOT!! in many ways but also "literally" haha!! The temperatures of the weekend were in the high 30's and Saturday was so humid, but the amazing cast, crew and orchestra pushed through it and the performances was fabulous. And thats not just me saying that but the audiences who came were again raving at how good it was and what I find wonderful is they all sat through it, in the heat themselves but did not complain. There is something about being on the farm, if you have never been to Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton I encourage you to (even better if it's for a show I'm doing...

Turkish and Other Delights! Part Two...

And so the story of the trip continues here Part One can be found here ! So we arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday 21st April 2015 and as I said in the previous post we were struck by how many people there were and how crazy the driving was but luckily we were picked up by our tour company, Travelshop Turkey. We did make it to our hotel, The Green Park Hotel, safely and this hotel seemed quite nice. We did find it weird we didnt know anything about our start time in the morning or anything else from our tour but the guy at the desk did say that they were rather unorganised and not to worry, he'd let us know. Dancers on the boat Our first experience began that night began with a Bosphorus River and Dinner Cruise (to be honest we didn't quite know what to expect), people had said that it was great to cruise on the Bosphorus and see Istanbul from the water. Well we got picked up along with some others we didn't know and headed to our boat. Well this night was an experience!...
