Music, Masters & Mums!

Wow I can not believe that we are already into May, so much is happening this year and it is flying past! Is that the same for you? It isn't just me? I hope you are well and that you had a wonderful Easter and holidays.

Easter seems so long ago now but I had a wonderful Easter. I was the guest artist at the Belgrave Easter Convention at Belgrave Heights. It was a wonderful weekend actually such fabulous speakers and a chance for me to sing a lot over a number of days and to share with the people attending.  I got there on Good Friday afternoon after singing at Moreland Salvation Army in the morning with and for my sister Lauren as she was leading the service. Anyway, I was able to spend from Good Friday afternoon until Monday Afternoon at the conference and was able to present a range of Easter music that I was thankful went over very well. It was actually lovely for me to be able to hear the speakers and other things that were going on as I normally fly in fly out so it was great. Also as I was there on my own, didn't know anyone I was glad to find everyone very friendly and willing to accommodate me.  So I encourage you if you have never been or have thought about going, to get along to some or all of the convention actually there are many different ones throughout the year so go to http://www.bhc.org.au to check it out.


 
 
After I returned from Belgrave I spent a couple of days with Lauren, Aaron and Bella. It was nice to have some time off but also to catch up with them.  Bella and I had a fun Auntie/Niece day where we went to Mainly Music together, had lunch, danced to the Wiggles, went shopping and on a ride. Bella is such a cutie but is full of energy haha!

Since returning home I have had an audition, sang at the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal Launch Breakfast, did a little concert at a nursing home, worship led at church and been back to work. My brain was a little tired haha but its all fun.  Im looking forward to some new opportunities that have come up as well, its always fun to see how God will use you!


This past weekend was also a special one. Lauren, Aaron & Bella popped over for a quick visit as Lauren was graduating with her Masters of Arts: Christian Studies. I am so proud of Lauren as she has completed her study whilst studying to become a Salvation Army Officer, moving to Melbourne, being a wife and a mother. She is an inspiration and an amazing lady and I know God will bless her and use her in a great way.
 
 
 
And speaking of amazing women, yesterday was Mother's Day! How did you celebrate your Mother?  Our mothers are all different and some we will see, some we wont, some we are remembering and for others it's actually another woman again that we see as our Mother. But whatever the circumstances we thank these women. I am so grateful for my Mum and all she has done for me and our family. She is an amazing strong and talented lady and I cherish our relationship.
 
I hope that your Mother's Day was lovely and that you are looking forward to this week. A new week and new opportunities are ahead.

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...
