I've had a crazy party week celebrating my album's Number 3 debut week in the US, plus it was the Grammys!
Right now I'm having a thoughtful moment. I'm at the LA airport sitting in the lounge watching telly and writing at the same time. Pictured is my Cyber-shot Sony camera phone. It's cool because I can send pictures directly to my site from the phone. I took this photo with my Mac camera though... technology is crazy now. I make comic strips sometimes on this computer, I'll post some up sometime; its really cool and a great way to pass my time while I'm travelling.
The airport is another kind of home for me now. I'm like a gypsy, always on the move or like a ping pong ball on the table of the world, I'm here there and everywhere.
I haven't been home to my house in the UK for a while now though, the last time I was there was in November for the Global Angels event and that was just for one day! Dorothy is right, there really is no place like home; I wish I had little sparkly red shoes or that someone had invented teleportation because it would really save a lot of time and fix some of the whole carbon emission problems of transport too no doubt.
I guess not having everything instantly is a good thing, it probably makes you appreciate more. It's weird, we have invented all these machines to get us places quicker like escalators and cars, and to make things happen quicker like microwaves; and now we have to go to the gym to exercise and have to make an effort to stay fit. When I went to Holland they all travel everywhere on bikes. Maybe that's smart because it probably means they can get away with eating more chocolate but still stay healthy... okay, I guess I'm going off on one!
I'm gonna go now but I do want to say how grateful I am to you guys who have stuck with me and who come and check on the site and blogs. Can't say how sorry I am that the UK tour got cancelled, it's a real bummer. I'm so happy to be having a good response in the states though, and the good news for us Brits is that the US seems to be taking a liking to people from this part of the world.
I'm coming to UK for Valentines Day, will be there just 12 hours but I really cannot wait to be home!
Catch up with you soon.

By the way, my blogs are featured on You Tube this week!! I'm going to keep them coming xx

My friends call me alsexis don't really know why yet. Kind of scary if you think about it. Well I was wondering what your favorite band is ....? P.s. hope you have safe travels.

I had already booked a hotel, etc.! I appreciate that this is apparently beyond your control and you are organising a series of free concerts over here soon - please can you do the right thing and ensure that original ticket holders are given booking priority for these dates. I am ever so disappointed as my seat was in the front row :(

wrote... I think you're absolutely right, no one has no time - everyone is busy, running and goin' to different places, have no time to relax, to think about different things in this world, about the future... I realy appreciate your point of view Nat, I can see a lot of wisdom in your thoughts, you are very special woman. Always be yourself - and everything will be great. By the way, congradulations with st. Valentines day, wish you lots of LOVE!

wrote... Hey Nat. It’s good to hear from you again, and hear that you’re all right – cause you right, travelling can be really hard! Yeah, it’s really smart with all the technology today – cute picture! :)
Oh, and Nat, about you’re thankful for the support from us – well, I thank you, for making such a wonderful music! Your music just help me so much – it REALLY does! I listen to your music, if I’m totally crazy – the good way to be crazy, of course :), like totally happy, exciting about something or just can’t stop jumping, if you know what I mean, and some of your brilliant songs like “I Wanna Have You Babies” or your new genial song “Pocketful of Sunshine”, they just help me, keep in that mood – but also if I’m really down, sad, alone and just can’t see the bright side of the life – if I feel that way, I REALLY love listen to songs like “Still Here”, “Soulmate” “Wild Horses” or “I Bruise Easily”….. Music always gets me through the day – for me, a world without music, would be like…. Well I can’t explain… but I know a world without YOUR music AND your personality, would be a world, who so badly missed a really big talented, powerful, strong, beautiful and lovely girl, with a great voice, and lovely personality!.......... Nat, keep doing what you doing, cause a part of the world would feels kind dead without you and your music……..
Nat, I really love you and your Music!!!!!!!
Take good care, and thanks for writting!
Love, Monique
