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 "For Unto Y'all - A Cowboy Christmas". If you have been following along with me for a while, you may remember this show which we did twice years ago but we thought it suited the Fringe and would be fun to do. Also this time I was playing Mary, as my sis Olivia who played her last time is pregnant again and so couldn't. We performed this from Feb 28th -March 3rd and it was great fun. We had decent crowds, got good reviews and just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was great to see so many new Soul Factorians enjoying the performing and it was wonderful to share the amazing story to new audiences. Check out some pics below (thanks Nicky Collinson Photography) but for a full album of this fantastic show click here

Aside from that I have had gigs with the JD Lord Band, singing teaching and alot of Mary Kay. This year I am focussing on building my Mary Kay business and so doing mainly gigs not shows which is also exciting because I have quite a few coming.

The Raymond Sisters (and myself as a soloist) are singing at Unley Concert Band's "Last Night of the Proms" Concerts on March 30 & 31st.

Soul Factor Gospel Choir has their Easter Concert in April and The Raymond Sister's are singing at an ANZAC Tribute Concert. Then in May, I am in Melbourne for the Staff Alumni Band Concert, and other corporate things as well!!

So I am very grateful for diversity and opportunities. I want to grow an amazing Mary Kay business here in SA and the beauty of it is it allows me to sing as well.

So I will endeavour to get my blog posts back on track but I hope to see you around at these events or at new opportunities that I am sure will come.

Have a great week!

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are...

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!...

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...
