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 "For Unto Y'all - A Cowboy Christmas". If you have been following along with me for a while, you may remember this show which we did twice years ago but we thought it suited the Fringe and would be fun to do. Also this time I was playing Mary, as my sis Olivia who played her last time is pregnant again and so couldn't. We performed this from Feb 28th -March 3rd and it was great fun. We had decent crowds, got good reviews and just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was great to see so many new Soul Factorians enjoying the performing and it was wonderful to share the amazing story to new audiences. Check out some pics below (thanks Nicky Collinson Photography) but for a full album of this fantastic show click here







Aside from that I have had gigs with the JD Lord Band, singing teaching and alot of Mary Kay. This year I am focussing on building my Mary Kay business and so doing mainly gigs not shows which is also exciting because I have quite a few coming. 

The Raymond Sisters (and myself as a soloist) are singing at Unley Concert Band's "Last Night of the Proms" Concerts on March 30 & 31st.

Soul Factor Gospel Choir has their Easter Concert in April and The Raymond Sister's are singing at an ANZAC Tribute Concert. Then in May, I am in Melbourne for the Staff Alumni Band Concert, and other corporate things as well!! 

So I am very grateful for diversity and opportunities. I want to grow an amazing Mary Kay business here in SA and the beauty of it is it allows me to sing as well. 

So I will endeavour to get my blog posts back on track but I hope to see you around at these events or at new opportunities that I am sure will come. 

Have a great week!

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...
