Speaking Life!

What a beautiful day!! I am so grateful for days like these and the weekend we just had. Sun, flowers and butterflies make me happy and glad that winter is behind us!

I had a great night last Friday singing with Marion City Band for their annual charity concert. This year's charity was Legacy and it was wonderful to hear of their work and support them as they do so much for our servicemen and women. I sang an array songs which were then added to a great mix of wartime and favourite songs of those wartime eras. Some of my songs were Secret Love, Someone to Watch Over Me, All that Jazz, Sway and Summertime. The audience were great and thoroughly enjoyed the music. Are any of those songs favourites of yours?
It was great to sing with a brass band again and to share with a new audience.

Do you ever think or take notice of the words that you speak? Do you realise that it could be affecting your life, your relationships, your work? I myself an a talker, if you know me you may be laughing to yourself right now haha! I admit it and I come from a family of talkers. We speak our minds and also sort out problems verbally which of course can sometimes lead to arguments until we sort it out but for the most part I am a positive person and so try to keep my works positive.
Sometimes life can cause us to become negative and complain or we might get caught up talking about someone in a negative way. I admit to this myself at times and I am conscious of wanting to change this.

On the weekend it was bought to my attention again that what we say can be used for good or bad and can really hurt people.  I don't want this to be the case with me and God doesn't either. He wants us to be encourages and speak life into others. A verse that I pray is


So what are your words saying about you? So let's try and speak life and love dear people!

Have a great 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...
