Dreams Come True - Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!! So another year has flown by and we move into 2018.

How did you celebrate the coming of the new year? Are you glad to see 2017 go or are you grateful for an amazing year?

I saw in the new year doing what I love singing at the Big Bash Cricket! It was a great fun experience - great music, kaftans, big hair and singing on a 8 metre high stage along with fireworks, glitter and lights. Loved it!

Also 2 days before that I achieved a GOAL and a DREAM of 13 years when I finished qualification for Mary Kay Directorship. Ever since I started my Mary Kay business I wanted to become a Director and finally it has happened. It was a dream that many times, I did not know whether it would actually come about but I never gave up on it. This year though I decided to focus on it and believe that I was worth it. I am so excited to lead an amazing unit of people and share with others the wonderful opportunity of Mary Kay.



2017 has been a FANTASTIC year for me in many respects.

I did some great singing gigs and played some fantastic characters
Oklahoma on a Farm again (and its about to happen again this weekend, love this show!), 35mm at the Fringe, Aida in Aida the Musical of which I was nominated for Best Actress at the ATG Awards, Elvis gigs, Soul Factor's Broadway show and Christmas concert



Also I got to sing for Sir Tim Rice and at the NYE Cricket.

I got made redundant from my office job which was an awesome opportunity to step put and do just the things I love, Mary Kay and singing. Which led to new events and taking on singing students, which is something I have really enjoyed.

In August I spent about a week looking after
my Niece and Nephew in Melbourne, which was an eye opening, tiring experience but I loved it. I met and became friends with a bunch of new people, I brunched a lot with good friends, laughed alot and definitely grew through the hard times. God blessed me and provided for me all the way and I believe guided my steps every day. I watched my nieces, nephew and godchildren grow and become very much their own little people and share memories with their Auntie Bec.

I am so grateful for all that has been 2017 and I am excited for 2018!

There is so much already in place and I know that God has awesome things in store for me and for YOU! Don't give up on your DREAMS. BELIEVE that you are enough and worth amazing things! God is the God of the Impossible and I believe that this year, all things are possible!

So I encourage you to sit down this week and dream a little, write down some goals and really focus on completing them. I am cheering you on!

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 ...

Music for Mums!

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home. It should be a lovely time and the first time Mum & Dad have seen my sisters house. (For Liv and I, its the 3rd time there in less than 6 months!) Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
