Greetings from Parker

I'm "That Guy"

Greetings all.

I kind of had a little rough start to the new year but things are starting to look up. I really don't know what I would have done if i didn't have people in my life who cared. A series of unfortunate events made me sit back and think about my life and how I need to get back focused on the bigger picture. It just seemed like everything came down on me all at once. It was a lot to handle. We don't need details, just know that things are looking better than before. I'm now considering not doing the acting/modeling thing just because I really need to focus on making money. Who knows, it may come to me anyway while I'm not pursuing it. Part time jobs aren't cool so I'm now looking for a full time gig. Anywho, I've been keeping busy designing my logos for my t-shirts and accessories. Yep, I'm still working on it. I kind of took a break from it for a while, but now i'm back on the grind.

In other news, I'm starting to work with runway magazine as an account exectutive. Right now I am working on getting vendors for the Oscars gifting suite in February. Things are starting to turn around slowly but surely. 2008 was great for me. I met a lot of interesting folks and have opened doors of new possibilities. Hopeuflly 2009 will bring greater opportunities for me becasue lord knows i need them. Fun times! Wish me luck!

Here's a music video that i'm in and yes, i'm THE DUDE! lol. i'm a video hoefessional now. the song is pretty sweet too. tell me what you guys think.

Why Natalie stays positive

Alot of people have been asking me: How do I stay so positive?

I remember the day that I felt like a VICTIM thinking that the whole world was against me. It was like whatever I did, it just didn't seem to get better at all.

In fact, the more I tried to make things right, the more things seemed to go wrong. This situation itself made me feel miserable.

-> It made me afraid to try something new.
-> It made me afraid to take any risks.
-> It made me afraid to try to reach my full potential.

At that point, I just kept asking myself questions like... "Why, why, and why me?"

I was a good person. I worked hard. I was as or more capable than the next girl. Yet, I felt like a VICTIM, where everywhere I went, people would DESTROY me and keep me from achieving the dream I was pursuing for in my life.

How is that possible? How did I change that? What should I do differently to turn the tables around where everything would work in my favor, instead of against me?

You see... In this world, there are "TWO" types of people:

(1) Negative People.
(2) Positive People.

However, positive people ONLY comprise about 1% of the entire population, whereas negative people make up the rest. So, when you try to go against the ODDS, negative people can try to pull you down.

It's simple, really!

Negative people are afraid that if you are succeeding, are optimistic, and winning, it will mean less for them and they will get left behind. So, when you start telling them about how your life will be, they can get extremely jealous.

They will eagerly say things like:

"Who do you think you are?"
"Only rich people can do that?"
"You are only concerned about making money."
"You are not capable of achieving your dreams at all."

If you buy into their NEGATIVITY, it can make you feel miserable, unworthy, that you are not good enough

Having the self-confidence...

Gives me a feeling of UNLIMITED power. It gives me FULL control over my life and a SOLID BELIEF that I can control my destiny. It RESTORED the self-confidence within me.

The best part is...

"It changed my life completely."

I appear more trustworthy.
I appear more attractive.
I appear more credible in people's eyes.
I am happy and love life

In fact...

I can CLEARLY tell you right now that NEGATIVITY will DESTROY every single important thing you stand for.

When you allow others to defeat you with their negativity, you will become paralyzed and defeated without you even knowing it.

This is the reason WHY you need to make yourself IMMUNE to the possible infection of the DEADLY virus of negativity.

There is NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!

I hope I gave you a little insight on remembering to always stay postitive:)

Lots of love,
--Natty

P.S. I will be doing another webchat very soon :)

Natalie on Youtube

Thank you so much to everyone for all the great ideas for 2009. In fact I have already been working on alot of your ideas :)

One idea was to start making youtube videos of me painting with nail polish and papertowels and then sell them on my website and ebay. Besides that's what I was really known for on BB9! Well, that and talking :) LOL

Plus it's like seeing me on tv again! YAH!!

Go and check out my first 3 video's on youtube :)

Natty says Thanks

Thanks for answering my survey :) I really wanted to hear all your ideas and what you would like to see from me in 2009. Man, I got some great ideas now. Thank you.

One of the top things you wanted was original paintings and for them to be affordable... so to do that I'm taking 25 people for my brand new VIP Mystery original 8" by 10" acrylic painting of the month club...man that was tough getting that out...lol

so here's the deal $39.95 a month and every month you'll get a original, unique, mystery 8X10 painting

8x10's usually go for $80 - $100 so you can see the value of the monthly club, and the reason I can only take 25 orders for this.

The fun part is you'll never know what your gonna get but you will be able to tell me what your favorite colors are and what you'd like to have me paint, mermaids, fairies, flowers, etc... that way I can custimize for each of you :)

it's kinda like getting a christmas gift every month.

go and claim your spot now: http://artbynatalie.com/mystery

Talk Soon!
Love,
