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.

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 ...

Music for Mums!

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home. It should be a lovely time and the first time Mum & Dad have seen my sisters house. (For Liv and I, its the 3rd time there in less than 6 months!) Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
