Captivated!


Hello! it has been a little while since my last blog post. I know I have been getting the year underway and in January I had a little bit of time off singing so that was nice just to refresh.

But it is February and I have been getting back into it. Two weeks ago I sang with Olivia (my sister) at our niece Isabella's dedication in Melbourne. It was a lovely afternoon, dedicating this beautiful little girl back to God. It was also a great catch up time for my family as a big chunk of family lives in Victoria and so we were able to share and eat together and have lots of Bella cuddles.



This past weekend I was the special Guest Artist at the Captivated Women's Conference at Collaroy Centre, Collaroy NSW. This years conference was based around John 10:10 "I came that they may have & enjoy life, and have it in ABUNDANCE" so the theme was Abundance. I was then able to share with the women of the conference for about an hour, just about my life, songs that I love,  my journey through losing my brother Alex and how God is using me and my family. It was a real pleasure to share. While I was singing, Sarah Rown-Dahl, a prophetic live painter was painting and it was wonderful to see what she felt God was saying for the women. It was a beautiful painting and she is a truly gifted women. Having studied painting and love it myself it was wonderful to see how God can use that gifting in someone.  If you have never heard of her before check out her website http://www.iheartliveart.com/ .

Next weekend I am back with the Staff Band singing at Taralgon and so back into that. This year is looking a great year for my music, I am also in a musical later in the year which I am very much looking forward to so stay tuned.  I look forward to singing and sharing for you and others over this year!

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 ...

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.

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...
