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!

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....

"There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....." Yes there is! Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm is BACK for its fourth season and opens this Thursday. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that this is a special production and the role of Laurey is one I love to play! This year is the 75th Anniversary of the Production of Oklahoma! and so it is wonderful to be performing it again in the same year. Although in rather milder weather! The Farm, Four Oaks at Littlehampton is beautifully green and bursting with life. The animals are in full voice as in the wonderful cast. Immerse yourself in this unique family-friendly experience, a beloved classic with live horses, windmill, and a country fair of delicious treats & wares. If the last 3 seasons feedback is anything to go by, you will LOVE IT!! If you have seen it before, you will know what I am talking about and you should tell others. Or come along again and bring some new fr

All Shook Up!

I am blessed. A week ago I got back from an amazing singing trip. Cruising the seas, performing with amazing musicians and performers, 16 shows in 7 days, plenty of food and a ton of laughs - I am still smiling. The Cruise 'N Groove Elvis Meets the Legends Cruise was a fantastic week. I had never been on a cruise before so it was quite an experience, I loved the food and the weather was fantastic (only a bit of rockiness to contend with) and we visited Mare and Noumea in New Caledonia.  I am reasonably new to the Elvis world and so this was an eye opener for that as well but I actually loved it. Elvis fans are exceptionally passionate and in some ways quite a wonder.  I was on this trip as a backing vocalist with the Tributes in Concert Band or TIC Band and we backed all of the headlining Elvis Tribute Artists. So to the band first, what a privilege it was to perform with them. Each and everyone of them super talented (to the point, that I would get caught watching them at t

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and my sister
