 Official meaning that I am the real Natasha Kate Sutherland, if you don't believe me go and check out my biography. (Yes, I really DID speak to a donkey for a living.)
My life is really wonderful, crazy, busy at the moment. Other than being a mom, I have just written a book, called Bittersweet / Bittersoet about my journey of healing and transformation and as a tribute to the women who have helped me along the way, I have started The Bigheart Foundation. I am also doing motivational talks around the country.
In addition every 2 weeks I will be exploring a particular theme on my ‘Natasha says’ blog. Take a look at what’s happening in my life with WHASSUP and if you like my alter ego, Roxy, then check out her very own WHASSUP column in 'Who is Roxy Sydenham?’ Natasha’s Books gives you info on other writing projects
WHASSUP AUGUST 2010 !
Baking
My darling sister gave me a book on cakes and THIS is the cake my son has chosen for his birthday party. And he has chosen ME to make it. Eisshhh... Problem is I have NEVER made a 3D cake before. I have watched Asjas make marvelous ones ...and made comments from the sideline whilst sipping wine, as she moulded the fondant into creation. Now its my turn . YIKES! Watch this space(or check out my facebook page) for a pic of what the cake will end up looking like when I make it!!!...should be good for a laugh...
Daring
Had an Eric Way Dreamteam makeover for Placecol and DNB. I offered up my long locks for the event. SARIE covered the whole experience, and posted before and after pics on their website with a ‘comment’ box. Eissshhh! Nothing like a ‘comment’ box to make your ego squeal a bit! In any case I got compliments and insults and I even got a marriage proposal!! Am having fun with the short hair – and the makeover event was great fun. In September and October its Cape Town and Bloem’s turn! CT – 4th Sep / Bloem – 2nd October
 
Writing
Hey! I am busy writing my new book!!! – strange to be in this place again. I so love doing it. I feel..I write ...I learn ...I write some more. Also check out my column in Finesse – where I talk about being a Soccer Mom!!!
Reading
Reading lots at the moment which is silly cos I should actually be writing! Muriel Barbery’s The Elegance of the Hedgehog was given to me by my mom.. It probably has the most gloriously interesting title I think I have ever read. Clever, informative..a really sophisticated and charming read. Also reading Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Mastery of Love – great research and insight into LOVE and the Art of the relationship ..hmmmm wonder if I ‘ll EVER get it right!??
 
Polling
Please join my Facebook site and/ or keep an eye on this website – am busy picking everyone’s brains doing polls for certain subjects I am exploring for the new book I am writing. Join in – would love to read your take on things ...

Giving
Thank you so much to Rene and Mar- Louise for their ‘giving’ natures. Their company ’ The Image of Love’ is offering this 4D scan pamper experience, to the ladies of The Armstrong Berning Trauma Centre- an organisation I endorse in my Bigheart Foundation. Wonderful to see women trying to empower and help other women. If you’d like to book the experience for your ‘ preggy’ self, or as a treat for someone you love, then please contact them on 0860 834553 or check out their website www.imageoflove.co.za ...they are doing good work!
Am soooo unbelievably excited that winter is on its way out and Spring is peeka boo-ing around the corner..Viva blossoms...viva earlier sunrises...viva animals doing rude and amusing things ....viva new beginnings! YEE HAA!
Much love and 3D cakes!
Natasha
