Blessed!

I have been truly blessed this last week! On Thursday last week I found out that I had been successful in the Gallipoli 2015 Ballot and had received a Double Pass to attend the Dawn Service & Lone Pine Service celebrating the Centenary of ANZAC!!! I am truly blown away and excited that I would be one chosen out of 43,000+ that were in the Ballot. It also allows me to share it with Dad who has always wanted to go and this makes me happy! So Dad and I are heading to Gallipoli next year! (now to save for it haha).

Also this week I had the SA Mary Kay Quarterly Awards and took home numerous prizes including Unit Queen and State Queen of Sales plus I also moved up to Team Manager which is one step away from my goal of Director. I truly love the company, they are wonderful to work for and so giving. If you want to read more about that night  go to my makeup blog at http://makeupbybecr.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/dreams-stars.html.

So Easter is coming, it seems a little later this year but it is coming. What does that mean to you? For many it means too much chocolate, family, holidays (I am definitely looking forward to these!) but there is a reason for it. Only reflecting and celebrating on the most heroic act ever done for us! Jesus gave his life for each and everyone of us so that we can be free. I love the music written about this amazing act and I get to sing so much of it. This year is no different, Soul Factor present their Easter Concert "Calvary, Oh Calvary" this Sunday evening the 13th at 7pm. It is a truly beautiful and uplifting array of music to help you get ready for Easter. There are some tickets still available so get to our website to book, you do not want to miss it!

For Easter this year I will be the special guest artist at the Belgrave Easter Convention in Victoria. I am looking forward to singing for and sharing with all the attendees of this conference over the 4 days. I would appreciate your prayers as this is a big weekend for me and I pray that God speaks through my music.

Wishing you and your family an wonderful Easter. May you experience God's love and enjoy your time together.

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 ...

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.

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...
