My passion project is progressing well . . . but it’s taking time. Personally speaking & connecting with every person who performed, played or did production on the Stacey Night 2016 is quite an undertaking.

My mission and the way I carried it out was clear, straightforward & respectful. It needed to be in line with the generous love driven energy the Stacey Trust and Award was kept alive over the 20 years I was Director and Administrator. It is a massive part of Australian Music history.

Brian Stacey died tragically when he was the Musical Director of the original Australian production of Sunset Boulevard. Just before it was due to open at the Regent Theatre, he was hit by a car riding home on his motorbike - it was 25 Oct 1996. Starring in the show was a very young Hugh Jackman & Guy Noble ended up becoming the MD & as it turns out was the first recipient of the Stacey Award.

The 22 Stacey Award alumni (namesake award for emerging Australian Conductors) are now all over the world making music in many different genres - something we are incredibly proud of.

I have just a handful of singers to contact and connect with to be able to proceed with the surprise to mark 30 years of Brian Stacey’s passing.

The exciting part is everyone will be able to share and enjoy something truley special if I can talk to those last few!

If you were one of the talented generous souls who performed a number with the spectacular Stacey Big Band in 2016 & you see this. Please contact me for a quick chat 🙋🏻‍♀️😊♥️

I’ve popped my nature art therapy play from today onto the reel. Just for fun on a Friday 🎨🫟🌸🌱🍂🪾

Hello first day of Spring 🌸

My orchid of over 30 years has a record number of blooms. It must love my courtyard as I do nothing except make sure it has water. I love watching it grow it’s big graceful spikes of heavy oval buds and then it gradually blooms in its own grow and flow time.

I have watched the blossom tree at the end of my street come into flower too. Every year it heralds the Spring!

Nature through the seasons is our teacher - we can lead with love - however the time to blossom & flourish will happen when we simply let it . . . 🌸💕🌸

Happy Springtime

Andrea 🙏🏼🙋🏻‍♀️🌸💕✨

Sundaze . . . lovely walk around the tan today & coffee sitting outside after chatting with girlfriends about life. It’s a lovely regular part of my Sunday most weekends.

Walking is a joy for me, in good company around the green of the tan (gardens inside)

Came home, had a nutritious late lunch & domestic chores listening to this excellent podcast.

Yes it’s a lot about feet (I am obsessed but for all the good reasons, esp after abusing my feet as a professional ballet dancer for a long time! Love my feet now) It’s more than anything about how important walking & moving is in our life. Our feet - their strength & mobility are literally the foundation to that, and we need to look at all aspects of them. Footwear, walking, loading, mobility, pain and more. Very do-able small transitions are key 🔑

This podcast will give you at least a couple of immediate easy do-able actions you can implement right NOW. It’s true response-ability appropriate to you. It’s what APT is all about!

Maybe listen to it over a few walks - I could not stop listening , so was cleaning, loading & hanging out washing, got heaps done!

I will also say APT training is very much focussed on foot health, barefoot training and recognising what your feet need now.

🆓 Also I am running a FREE SMILE Session during Seniors month on 15 Oct Richmond Neighbourhood Centre that brings important foot awareness & tips for people over 50. See link in comments to reserve your place or learn more 😊

Thank you Dr Conley & Dr Chattergee 🙏🏼👣☀️🙋🏻‍♀️😊♥️

My APT message to you
Posting less
Authenticity over feeding algorithms

My APT content is 100% about quality, education, support, care, kindness, a life time of movement experience & teaching, with some occasional humour 😉

Therefore if a video is longer than 3 mins - it’s for a reason & imparts worthwhile information without shortcuts that exclude vital parts simply to get likes & clicks & nurture shorter attention spans.

After over 18 years running my biz & living life with movement & music passion from age 3, I genuinely care & love what I do

I help humans love moving again - as they have the privilege of ageing well. APT clients take responsibility for their proactive movement & breathing for a fulfilling, enjoyable & happy life 💃🏽😊

Thanks for taking
the time to check out APT - especially when you are 50 + & need support , inspiration & education.

Andrea 🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏼♥️

Tuesday is EXPRESS 30 day! 30 mins of nutritious delicious movement snacks.

A long standing APT client said to me this morning - she felt dreadful last week not starting her Tuesday with EXPRESS 30. She said it’s the ‘Secret Sauce’.

It also reminded me of how many squillions of emotions and thoughts flash through our minds even in 1 short minute. It can be exhausting & it affects every part of how we feel. Guess what the best circuit breaker is? To become fully present & feeling gooooood?
