25.01.2022 So many wonderful memories.

24.01.2022 Hi Divas! Looking for a new podcast? There are plenty out there... but here’s one that’s a little different to the usual Q&A style, it’s a genuine conversation between two friends. My beautiful longtime friend Dr Jodie Fleming of The Psychology of It (also one of our guest speakers at the ten year anniversary event here in October) and her mate Peta Jolley of the Great Ocean Healing Centre talk about discovering the meaning behind life’s little lemons... how to take notice, dig deep and turn those sour lemons into sparkling lemonade. Jode is a psychologist and Pete is a yoga instructor, a wonderful blend of perspectives. So grab a cuppa or a glass of vino and settle in for a chat with them. Their first episode - The One About Happiness- was released last week (link below) and it’s a pearler.

24.01.2022 Well... it’s the 21st of December 2020 and I guess many of us don’t really know who’s making the gravy this Christmas, but I wanted to send out a message to all you lovely Divas, to let you know that you’re all in my thoughts. It’s been a tough year... and now we’re faced with some more challenges during what we thought might be a time we could finally get together with our families and kick back a bit. It’s clear that we’ll be navigating our way through this pandemic for so...me time yet, and I haven’t had the mental energy to devote to it this year, but be rest assured, I’ll be thinking about how I can hold the ten year anniversary event safely for you all in 2021. Sending you all much love and strength and I’m hoping you can all connect with your friends and families over the Christmas break one way or another... we’ve become pretty adept at the online thing now haven’t we? Here’s to resilience, adaptation and courage in the face of adversity. Merry Christmas Divas. We’ve got this!

24.01.2022 Hey Divas, here’s a little podcast I did with the beautiful Melissa Histon-Browning and Newcastle Podcast Station for The Sista Code recently. This crazy golf day wouldn’t exist if not for my journey in life. I’m eternally grateful for all of your support over the years. We will celebrate our ten year anniversary somehow this year... watch this space.

23.01.2022 Thank you to the beautiful Cleo for all these wonderful photos! Photography by Cleo

23.01.2022 Make sure Friday 28th May is locked in your calendar Divas... talks are happening. We may just have an event this year.

22.01.2022 So many beautiful people.

22.01.2022 It's official Divas...2020 didn't happen. It's all about 2021 now. http://createsend.com/t/r-795CFD79581ECE402540EF23F30FEDED

22.01.2022 Beautiful girls from The Grateful Boutique & Bouquet

20.01.2022 A special post today, to acknowledge the passing of our beautiful Diva, Meg Purser. I had the privilege of meeting Meg, not long after moving to Newcastle over 16 years ago. Our love of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Official Site brought us together. I also sat alongside this beautiful soul on the board of the Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation for a few years. The two charities that this day supports. Meg was always there, in the background, supporting others and she ...was there right from the beginning with this annual event, helping me get this baby off the ground. She always managed to come along on the day over the years, or if she couldn’t, she was always doing something to help promote it. Meg, you are a shining star and beautiful example to all of us, of what serving your community can bring. Thank you for your friendship. There is so much love for you. Rest easy beautiful girl.

20.01.2022 Thanks to Melissa Histon for these fabulous photos!

17.01.2022 Can’t wait to see what these girls come up with next...

16.01.2022 So I put this little post out in February, just after the summer fires.... we will certainly be celebrating ALL of our community heroes who helped us through that horrific time and now during this global pandemic. I’m thinking about ways we can hold this event with reduced numbers if we have to (perhaps over two consecutive days... not sure yet) but in the meantime, there is PLENTY of inspiration for your dress up themes. Look at all our emergency and frontline workers, essential workers and everyday kindness heroes. Get your thinking caps on DIVAS!

13.01.2022 Huge thanks to the team at Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Official Site for their generous donation of $1,000.00 which will go towards the cost of "Meg's Marquee" to make this years special event a reality. Meg had a very long standing working and personal relationship with the service and her love for the crew there was very much reciprocated by all of the staff and everyone she came into contact with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, this now brings the total donations to $2,000.00. Hopefully we can make a significant dent in the $11,000.00 bill by the time we get to 28th May! All the more profit goes back to both of the charities if we do. MF

13.01.2022 You with me Divas?

12.01.2022 Huge thanks to Shaw Gidley for coming on board as a Silver Sponsor AND a $500.00 donation towards Meg’s Marquee. This now brings the total donations for the marquee to $7,500.00! Thank you, thank you! Seriously, the people in this city are just amazing. This is going to be one very special event. MF

09.01.2022 The fancy dress bar was set... right here.

09.01.2022 Thank you soooo much Margaret Godfrey, Newcastle Mortgage Broker for kicking off donations to Meg’s Marquee with $1,000.00 going into the pot! Your generosity over the years has always been noticed and very much appreciated. We’re going to have a wonderful day.

07.01.2022 I’d like to make a very special shout out to Fran and the crew at Tread Softly for their exceptionally generous donation of $5,000.00 for Meg’s Marquee. Words can’t even describe how I’m feeling, but I’m so grateful for your support, it’s definitely an emotional time. Thank you so much for helping to make this year’s event a reality and not just a dream. This community continues to blow me away. MF

05.01.2022 Thinking about a practical gift this Christmas? Check out the Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation’s supportive care program.

05.01.2022 Beautiful Millie and her Mum Steph, will be one of my guest speakers at the Divas ten year anniversary event in 2021. She’s here today because of the incredible work by the crew at Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Official Site. Make a donation this Christmas and help us to keep these wonderful angels of the sky in the air.
