Diary Entry #55
June 2010

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying this cold weather!!
I actually love Winter. Love snuggling. Love soccer. Love the rain. And then when the season changes, it makes you appreciate the warm!

Life is wonderful right now! Our little boy is doing really well at school. He is loving soccer still (he scored 8 goals last week!!) He is learning guitar with a group of his friends and still playing the drums. We have a very noisy house as you can imagine!

Rod is busy as usual. He has just finished a wonderful new album called “Pre- Loved” with Beccy Cole. (All old favourites), Adam Harvey’s “Best of”, a live DVD with Troy Cassar-Daley and is working with some very exciting new artists.
The future of Australian Country Music is looking good too!! Look out for a beautiful young girl by the name of Makaylie Foodie. She is very modern and different. Also a new star on the rise, Georgia White. Georgia is only 16, and possibly the best country female voice I have ever heard in Autralia. She is the real deal. Very country and incredible! It’s an exciting time.

I have been loving living a gig free life (almost) I have a few gigs here and there (Lizottes and some charity) but as you know I am at the stage of my life where I am absolutely loving being the Mum and the wife. Our life is just so simple and happy.
We hang out as a little family and we could not be happier.
I do miss the stage, but I feel I have had so many wonderful things happen professionally. I feel very fulfilled with my lot!

I am really enjoying helping others make their dreams come true now.
As you know I am teaching workshops for singing and performance. I am loving it more than I could have ever known! We are discovering so much talent!
I am helping young artists develop an image, taking them shopping and styling them. It is so much fun.

Next week Rod and I are heading up to the Country Music Academy. Should be heaps of fun! I will teach performance and Rod will do master classes for guitar and all things with strings!!!

Then we are off to Bali for our annual big family holiday!!!
Can’t wait!! It’s 30 degrees over there!!

Life is good!!
Hope yours is too!!

Remember to smile!
It’s contagious!!

Lot’s of love
