2015: New Year, New Adventures

Happy New Year!! I can not believe we are already in to 2015. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year time, mine was quiet but very much needed. I was exhausted after the end of the year and so was very much glad of the relaxation and time with family. Love a good nap haha!!

So looking back over 2014, how did you feel about that year? I had an interesting year, it was a bit quieter at times as I was no longer travelling with the band but then it got crazy busy at the end of the year. I'll be honest and say that at times through out the year I felt a bit directionless, a bit of a drifter but then I also felt like it was a year to refresh a bit, connect again with people and connect with me. I felt God was saying to trust him and I'm thankful for the year. I have had great times with friends, grown relationships, meet new people, auditioned lots, been a 2 TV series, done makeup for films, weddings & formals, performed at new places, performed two shows Legally Blonde (where I did have fun playing a role different to myself haha) and For Unto Y'all, I won some awards, watched my sister be commissioned as a Minister, cried, laughed, been amazed and asked lots of questions.

So now 2015 is here and I kind of don't know what to expect, there are a few things planned a trip overseas (yes I did get tickets to Gallipoli so will be at the Centenary Celebrations!!), a fringe show with my sisters and Mum, maybe another musical (auditions coming up), it is also my 10 year anniversary with Mary Kay on Saturday 10th Jan!! I have been a part of that wonderful company for 10 years and I feel blessed. So will celebrate that this year and want to move to Directorship. But then I still feel a little like "What am I here for?" and I have been asking God to show me where he wants me. Its funny at the start of 2014 I shared with you that I felt God was telling me No Fear and I think that is true for the year, I did try things I wouldn't, I allowed some things to follow their own course and allowed God to work through me in situations. As the year was wrapping up and I was asking who/what and why? a verse kept coming to me, literally I saw it most days because I had pinned on Pinterest a pic of the verse almost a year ago and all of a sudden people kept liking or repining it and so it kept notifying of this. So here it is Isaiah 46:4....



It is a promise and a constant reminder that I am a child of God, he guides me, he watches over me and he protects me. I don't need to worry about what's going to happen, how its going to happen or where I just have to trust. So often I think our minds are filled with so much, questions, theories, social media pumps it into us a constant stream of information and really our lives don't have to be complicated, we can find rest and get through situations or get answers to our questions. This verse makes it simple I think, its a statement of who we are and what God wants for us. I want to live a more simple life.

So as we head into this year (yes still not knowing what is happening haha!!) I pray you will be blessed, enjoy the year, have new adventures and make new friends but also you will learn to trust and will grow.

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...
