Blessed Spring!!

Well how the time flies!! Especially this year or maybe its just as we get older time speeds up?? either way I can not believe we are in September and I haven't written a post since July. I can explain that actually I was rather busy in August, good busy but time was short in that month.

I was very aware in August how blessed I am to have the ability to sing (or make music) and then also that I have opportunities to share with people through performance. Soul Factor performed their, what has been in the last 5 years, Annual Broadway concert. We performed 3 concerts over two weekends, the first in Mount Barker and the last 2 concerts in Victor Harbor. This year it was more of a favourites concert of music, while always having a range of songs this gave us the chance to redo some from past concerts or add a favourite we hadn't done yet. All in all there was about 20 songs and all with costumes and most with choreography so it is rather a big undertaking. The thing is though once you get up there, it is brilliant. I just love it and so do the audiences! the fact that we are able to give them snippets of so many musical or movies that they love in a couple of hours is such a delight. Soul Factor is also very good (if I do say so myself haha) so its a quality show and our joy in performing is reflected on our faces. Some of the songs from this years shows were Aladdin, Thoroughly Modern Millie, A Chorus Line, Bye Bye Birdie, Hairspray and the list keeps going. A highlight for me was that my sister Liv and I got to sing songs from Frozen. I did "Let it Go" and to watch the kids in the room (and some adults) sing every word and be doing the 'actions' was fabulous.

Soul Factor is now taking a break from these concerts, we are doing the Christmas Musical "For Unto Y'all" again December 18 - 21st 2014 but Broadway Concerts are having a little rest so it was wonderful to share with so many.

So with the Broadway shows over it is time to look at what is next! I am in the midst of rehearsals for Legally Blonde the Musical with the Hills Musical Company. It is shaping up as a fabulous show with so much energy and fun, make sure you come along for a great night out. The season begins November 7th 2014.

I am also the guest artist at a concert on the 19th September (yes next week!) with the Marion Town Band. It is a concert raising money for Legacy Australia. I am singing some old time favourites and look forward to working with the band and sharing with some new people. If you want to come along check out the poster below for details.



 
 
 
So lots of things happening and I am so thankful. As I said before I am constantly reminded of what a blessing it is to be able to sing and share and for me I do it all for God. At Soul Factor's rehearsal last week we were singing through songs from our gospel repertoire and these songs are just so beautiful. One of my favourites is "I Love You" and a line in that song is how I want to live my life.
 
"Lord in everything I do, my heart is lifted high in praise to you."
 
Have a fabulous 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...

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...

Merry Christmas and lots happening in the New Year!

It is almost Christmas and I hope that you are enjoying this wonderful festive season. Do you have traditions that you love to stick to when you celebrate? Do you get time to enjoy the family time, the catch ups etc or are you just always rushing around?  I have been very busy up until this weekend and I am enjoying the chance to slow down a bit, well at least for the new couple of days 😅 Next year is already quite packed and there is still some things to do this year, including finishing Qualification for Directorship with Mary Kay (only one person to go!) and then I am singing at the Cricket NYE but then things get really underway first week of the new year! Anyway I thought I'd let you know about what's going on next year, in case you need some last minute Christmas Gift ideas 😉 2018 is going to be a great year and I am so looking forward to sharing so many different things next year! So Starting off with  Oklahoma! on a Farm  January 5-7 with  Emma K...
