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!

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 ...
