For Unto Y'all is born this day.....

I honestly can not believe we are only a week away from Christmas but this year and especially the last few weeks have flown by! I have been really busy though and so I suppose that makes a difference! With the end of Legally Blonde and then driving to Melbourne to see my sister Lauren get commissioned as a Salvation Army Officer at which my sisters and I also sang at (it was lovely to get back to singing together). November was over and December was here.

This December, Soul Factor Gospel Choir is reprising "For Unto Y'all - A Cowboy Christmas" the cowboy musical which we premiered last year. So I was straight into that! This year we are performing it at Scott Theatre Adelaide (one of my favourite theatres to work in, so many memories :) ) and it is bigger and we believe better! Plus it runs in the week up to Christmas and so provides a fabulous event for people to go to with family, or friends or workmates or whatever to get into the Christmas Spirit and have some fun while enjoying the message of love.

You might think that a comedy on the Christmas story and that its set in the Wild Wild West would take away from the message of Christmas but you would be wrong. The message is so strong and each one of those on stage radiates the joy of this amazing story. I really encourage you to get along to it if you can. Its for all ages and there are some fantastic performers alongside Soul Factor who are always top notch. The costumes are brilliant and set on a bigger stage its a show you will thoroughly enjoy. I am reprising my role of Kate O'Shaunessy (yes the Irish accent has returned) and I am joined by some of Adelaide's best talent Andrew Crispe, Michael Denholm, Angus Smith, Sam Davy, Olivia McCulloch, Lauren Potter, Adam Jaeger and Nathan Rowe and the list continues. Plus my parents are the ones behind it and with my mum, Sharon Raymond's musical talent in both performance and direction and my Dad, Howard's vision its a great team.

I think though what I love most about working with Soul Factor is the passion for what they sing and for wanting to bring their best always. So if you are free from tonight, because we OPEN TONIGHT!! until Sunday 21st December grab your friends, family whomever and get along, we'd love to see you!

I  love Christmas and I love that I get to share my talents with people at this time. I hope I see you at the show but if not I wish you a very Merry Christmas and blessings for the New Year! I am looking forward to a little time off from Christmas, it will be nice to spend time with family and relax a little preparing to start a new year. I hope you get to enjoy this wonderful season.

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...
