At the End of August

Can you believe that it is the end of another month??

I feel like sometimes I fall asleep and wake up a week later missing days in between 😂
What about you? But I admit I have been doing lots of interesting things and really enjoying myself which is important and it will soon be SPRING!!

So August for me started in Melbourne looking after my Niece and Nephew for a few days. It was a really lovely time with them, we learnt lots about each other and had lots of fun, at the end as I was not used to living with a 1 and 4 year old I was exhausted but so happy I was able to do it. There is a lot to be said for having your own business! On the final Saturday in Melbourne, my sister Lauren and I were able to have lunch and go see Aladdin. What a glittering spectacle that was and such a pleasure to see such a favourite film of mine come to life on stage.

After that week the dreaded lurgy that everyone seems to have caught this winter got me. And really it has taken the rest of the month to get better but other than a couple of days it has not really stopped me 😊 Lots of Mary Kay Classes, Theatre Makeup Classes, new singing students, a day on a film, rehearsals and auditions have kept me busy.

I am excited to have been offered the role of Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical which is coming in January next year. This should be a great fun role and a chance to do a more comedic role which I have wanted to do for a while. So keep your eyes open for that!

Last week Olivia and I were the backing vocals for Jack Gatto and his Elvis show. It was such a great night of music and a lot of fun. So many songs but we are enjoying really extending our repertoire and even just going with some songs we didn't know 😅 Jack has a fantastic voice and is a great performer and the band (whom we know) they are fabulous. Add to that excited fans and you have a great night.



I really feel that so much is happening at the moment and I am so grateful to God for his provision and for the opportunities he is bringing to me. I am excited for what could be and look forward everyday to Him using me in a different way.

In September, I go into Qualification for Directorship with Mary Kay and am so looking forward to completing that and stepping up in the company. It has blessed me so much and so many other women. I want to help women be the best they can be and this is a beautiful way to do it!

At the end of September, Soul Factor is back with a Broadway Show!!! Its been a couple of years since we have done that and of course almost a year since we performed since we had a break. So get your tickets!! It is going to a fabulous night with a focus on songs by Cole Porter. So grab your friends, family, kids and come along. There are two shows on Saturday 30 September and October 1st. Click here for more info.


So have an amazing week and see you in September.

Happy Birthday Songs!

So I'm now 31! I can not believe a year has already passed since my 30th and all that was going on at that time. There I was last year thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm in a new age range I've hit 30" and that year has already past. Well, I can say that being in your 30's is not bad actually and if anything I am happy I'm here, yes minus a few things I thought I would have gained in that 30th year but I am happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love me so I am extremely grateful. This years birthday was a lot less flashy than last years (thank goodness because that was a lot of work haha!) but lovely all the same. It began actually on Saturday, my sister Liv had organised a breakfast and surprised me by inviting some of girlfriends to join us. The café we went to was Harvest in Mylor, South Australia. It was really adorable and encourage you to check it out some time. We sat outside in gorgeous weather, under the tress and enjoyed each others company and...

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"

I can't believe I am sitting here already a week after the opening of Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm and we have finished another fabulous season and I've already jumped into rehearsals for the next couple of things. But I wanted to take a moment to again talk about this show and to say how grateful I am to be able to perform like this. This season of Oklahoma was HOT!! in many ways but also "literally" haha!! The temperatures of the weekend were in the high 30's and Saturday was so humid, but the amazing cast, crew and orchestra pushed through it and the performances was fabulous. And thats not just me saying that but the audiences who came were again raving at how good it was and what I find wonderful is they all sat through it, in the heat themselves but did not complain. There is something about being on the farm, if you have never been to Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton I encourage you to (even better if it's for a show I'm doing...

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...
