New Year! What's coming.....

Happy New Year!! Wow can you believe that we are in 2016!
Last year really flew by and December was a crazy month. How are you feeling after the end of the year? are you ready to start a new one?

December was a great month, I was flat out with gigs, rehearsals, work and Mary Kay plus of course Christmas events with friends and family but it was a great month. I do love singing and performing and it is such a pleasure to share Christmas songs with people, to have then join in and leave with such joy. Soul Factor's concert was fabulous! So much fun to perform and a full house to share it with.
Our next gig was at the Hallett Cove Carols, which was freezing! And then the Adelaide Carols by Candlelight where some of us where backing Samantha Jade again and the whole choir was in the onstage choir. This turned into an exciting event, because although Samantha Jade got through her first number she actually had tonsillitis and got sicker after so about 20 mins before she was to go back on, I was called off stage and told they wanted me to sing Oh Holy Night in her place. So they found me a dress, pinned me in, gave me a mic and pushed me out there! I was sort of in that daze where you wonder whether this is actually happening haha!! But it all seemed to go well and I got a great cheer (mostly by my Soul Factor peeps on stage I reckon ;) ) anyway I felt blessed to be able to do it. I then also had to sing the Hallelujah Chorus out the front at the end. So it was a good night :)



How was your Christmas? I had a lovely day and enjoyed some family time as well a little break before heading back into rehearsals for Oklahoma. This musical that we are doing on a farm starts this Thursday and I am really looking forward to it!! It such a great concept and its exciting to be doing something that has not been done before. If you love live theatre, horses, farms, baked goods and the country then this is for you! Such an amazing cast and orchestra and unique setting is not to be missed. There are only four shows so grab your tix! https://www.dramatix.com.au/events/1522
 
 

So what do you want to accomplish this year? Have you set goals? or are you more of a go with the flow person?

I am excited for the thing that are happening so far this year. Singing gigs, weddings, makeup and of course I finish up DIQ with Mary Kay this month and.........BOTH my sisters are having babies so I will be an auntie again. So there is so much to look forward to and to praise God for everyday. I usually start each year with a bible verse that the sticks with me through out the year. Interestingly this year its the same verse as last year. It is a promise that I am reminded of everyday and I thank God that it is true.



And I also felt this verse was for this year



I hope that these say something to you as well! Have a wonderful 2016 and I look forward to sharing with you all through it!

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 my sister

Where has all the time gone to?

Oh my goodness, it is March and this is the first blog post I am writing this YEAR!! I am sorry for the lack of blog posts. This year has started off with a bang and kept going and now is flying past! So let's catch up. 2019 began actually slowly for me, for the past few years I have had Oklahoma in the first week of January but this year we didn't have it so it was nice to have some holidays as last year was crazy! But the new year started with an Elvis Gig on the 6th, great to catch up and sing with the band again and then I headed off to Kuala Lumpur for Mary Kay Leadership Conference.  I had a ball there, meeting and learning from other Directors in Malaysia, Phillipines and Singapore but also getting to know the Aussie and NZ Directors better. Plus I had to sing in the Talent Night with the rest of the Directors from Aus/NZ Dancing behind and WE WON!! Hilarious but a fab time.  So then it was back and straight into rehearsals for Soul Factor's Fringe show
