Here comes the Sun!

I am writing this post, thoroughly enjoying the sun streaming in the open windows! My heart is lifted and with it the day and therefore the week! Winter, although beautiful at times and of course essential for growth, can be depressing. The winter blues start to set in after days of endless cold, rain and dreary weather. This winter especially has been so cold, do you agree? I don't cope well with the cold, I love spring and autumn and so winter can get me down. I admit that for most of June I was not myself, I was not depressed but I didn't really have any thing that excited me, I felt that I was not good enough and I generally felt "Meh!". How about you have you been feeling the winter blues??

I started thinking and praying about this as it is not generally how I am, and God started showing me again that when we know him there is joy. Yes our environment or circumstances may not be great, we may be struggling but God is waiting there to take hold of our burdens if we are willing to let go. Not surprisingly my devotions began to be about Joy, about receiving his peace and knowing Joy by trusting in Jesus. I began to realise that I had to claim that joy and I am thankful for it.

Things are now changing, the year is moving fast and there is light at the end of the tunnel of winter. I am in the midst of rehearsals for Soul Factor Gospel Choir's 2014 Broadway Concerts, which are going to be such fun with some fabulous music, moves and plenty of laughs. The concerts are on both the 9th and the 16th of August so if you would like to find out more or book tickets head to the website here.
Also rehearsals for Legally Blonde start on Sunday so I am very much looking forward to that and am so thankful for the opportunities I get to perform.

I hope this post finds you well and coping with winter. If you are struggling or feeling down I pray for you and remember that there is great joy in knowing Jesus, he wants to know you.





Have a wonderful 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...

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 m...

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day...."

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day......" Well actually its been a beautiful week! I did have the absolute privilege to play Laurey in Oklahoma! presented live on Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton SA. It was such a beautiful setting to be in everyday, trees, fresh air, animals in the paddocks around and one rather show stealing peacock!! The cast was fabulous, the orchestra amazing and the sound superb (Tim Freedman, Allpro Audio  love your work!!). At the risk of sounding cheesy it was a magical experience. From the moment that Curly rides along the ridge on his horse (an actual horse!) singing "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" people were captivated. It was such a labour of love for all of us, and to see the joy in people's faces was so wonderful. This production was the idea of Emma Knights from Emma Knights Productions and along with some other wonderful people who captured the vision of it all as well, it actua...
