Catch up!

Why hello there......
So this is my first ever blog post and I hope it is not my last! So for a while I have thought I should be writing about the happenings in my life but have not gotten around to it but this last few months I have been studying Web Communications as part of my Bachelor in Fine Arts & Visual Culture and have been introduced again to the 'phenomenon' that is blogging and sharing your thoughts online.  So as part of our course we are to sign up to a blog platform and work on our online presence, so here I am.

I have entitled this blog "A Song for Everything" because being a singer I tend to have a song for every situation and that follows through for all my family (we are all singers).  I thought that I would jot down thoughts about my singing trips and exploits and other things which bring music to mind. This happens often so you may see more than one post up!

I do wish that I had started writing this earlier in the year as I have travelled and toured in the UK with the band I'm in, the Melbourne Staff Band , as we were apart of the 120 year celebrations of the International Staff Band.  With this tour besides having a fabulous time and loving singing for different people over 10 days, I also got to sing in the Royal Albert Hall in London, a dream come true!!!


It was a truly amazing experience and I will never forget it!

Well that's all for today.  The group I am in Soul Factor Gospel Choir is heading to Cobram, Victoria this weekend so I am sure to report back about that!

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

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

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
