Passion for a cause



I have started and deleted and mused about writing different blog posts on a fairly regular occasion since my last post, a whole 2 months ago! O M G! I'm sorry it has been that long....to be honest there hasn't been much to write about for a while, we have been dealing with a whole lotta unnecessary stress, four feet firmly on the ground! Ha! More like four feet up in the air, just hanging on the word of gospel that we currently live by. Ugghhh!

Many of you already know what's going on, and for those who don't, well we'll tell you when we know, how about that?! Stay tuned. For today, I want to share with you a couple of causes close to my heart, both vastly different, although both equally important.



Numero uno: my gorgeous and famous sister is taking her one women play A Solitary Choice to the Kansas Fringe, this is a BIG deal, it will be the first Australian production performed at the Kansas City Fringe, what an honour!

If you can pledge a little or a lot, maybe, to help Tam and director Mik with a successful production in Kansas that would be amazing! I would be so touched, as would they. Follow this link: A Solitary Choice_Kansas_USA to help them achieve their goal and to find out more.





Numero due: one of my all time favourite Aussie actors Samuel Johnson of Secret Life of Us, Rush and much more, it riding around Australia on a unicycle to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. A unicycle! I kid you not! And....he is coming to Halls Creek on the 1st of May. I'll let you read the full story here because, I'm not as good at explaining succinctly! 

The big exciting news is, we (HCVC staff) are organising a smallish event for when he is in town, and hoping to dare him to do something crazy...still working out the finer details...
I am so excited to be getting involved in something I feel so strongly about supporting and getting to meet, hopefully (he wont really have a choice)Samuel Johnson himself. 

Honestly, on a personal level, having a project I'm passionate about has improved my mood and state of mind 10 fold, these past few months I have felt a little lost and uninspired.

I didn't start out this post purely to get money out of you, I really just wanted to share two projects I'm truly excited about. Of course I will keep you updated on both, especially the photo of me with Mr Unicycle himself!

Share the word and the love. I shall endeavour to keep the length between posts shorter in the future. 

Now off to enjoy my bf's risotto, mmmmmm...yum!
