Absolutely loved both "Bittersweet" and "Fairytale..."! I also love the words spoken by Oprah "Forgiveness is letting go of the hope that the past could have been any different". Thanx for sharing and opening your heart. You are such an inspiration!

Dearest Natasha-I was so touched by your inspirational message at Chesterhouse on Saturday! You truly are like a breath of fresh air blowing away the monotony of the daily grind and encouraging us to simply enjoy and engage in the dance of life. I would also like to thank you for helping a very special friend of mine on her road to healing...I know that your words comforted her incredibly. Keep on sparkling! XXX

- Carol Ann Pope

I read the words special women write to you, a very special lady. I suddenly realize - we are all in search of something more, muchness par excellance and then it hit me ... we are all connected
- Felicia Lategan

What an inspirational morning!!!! I will most definitely find my muchness and get my "woema" back! Thank you Natasha for being a 'real woman'. Keep your sparkle going. "Cause baby you're a firework!" xx

Hi Natasha....I am sleep deprived...and it's all your fault...lol...just joking. I finished book 1 in 4 days and now I have book 2... And I am NOT getting enough sleep. It's wAy better than chocolate...and that's deep. I love the way you write as I think in pictures and I am right there....hovering just just outside the realm of realness. Thank u for sharing your story and giving me, for one, the courage to speak my truth. . Pls pls pls don't stop writing....I was deeply frustrated that I had to put your book down to come to work this morning! Have a great weekend!
- Michelle Greyvenstein

Ek stem!!! Moenie ophou nie. Dis sooooo 'n ontvlugting om jou boek te lees. Sit op jou sonbril girl, my sprankel skyn skerp vanoggend.
- Anelda BrandVan Zyl

To my Muchness Fairy, Natasha: finished your awesome book in 5 days... wow is all I can utter at this stage! Thank you! Off I go today free of stuckness & too many mind, hand in hand with Muchness and so much Grace to lead the way. You are changing so many lives by being... just you! Xx
- Felicia Lategan

I SO enjoyed your inspiring words at Southdowns on Saturday. You were WONDERFUL! Bought Fairytale and so far have not been able to put it down. In real search of my sparkle!!!! You are a wonderful example to all the people in your life and especially to your two boys! Wishing you much sparkle in your life too.
- Alyssa

Am so sorry for being emotional but my heart and feelings are so raw…I only lost a year of my life but the pain of betrayal is still very real …just want you to know that I have slept with your book Bittersweet under my pillow for the past 3 months and whenever I have difficulty sleeping I pull it out and read it ..thank you …
- Melissa

Aggenee!!! My SPROKIE is klaar. Het skoon verlore gevoel toe ek sien ek het so pas die laaste blad gelees. Dankie dit was jam jam. Amper soos peanutbutter en stroop broodjies en Toblerone. Ek sal onthou van die boek: Droom, leef, geniet, vat kanse, speel, wees lief, proe, ruik, voel, sien, skud jou hare, geniet seks, dans in die reen, troetel jou vriendinne en kinders, gee genoeg drukkies, moenie so ernstig wees nie. Doen alles wat jy nog altyd wou doen- and bugger the people…you are the people!!
– Anelda

Your book was positively superb! I read it from beginning to end and especially loved the 'once upon a times with Katie Banarama'. I think so many of us are stuck in some away, either can't move forward or we lose our muchness. Keep up the great work that you do you touch so many hearts! :) God bless you
- Suzanne Elizabeth Lotz

Natasha, my sister LOVES the book. And she also says "this woman and I think alike." Been hearing her laugh a lot while reading it. She couldn't wait to start reading it, so thank you! Blessings xx
- Sharl Els

Bittersweet made me laugh and cry. Today I went out to buy Fairytale! Can't WAIT to start reading it! Thanks for helping me stay motivated! Now I realise there is hope for me and I'm not alone. Much love
- Shannon Dickson

Natasha…I am so enjoying your book …and can identify with so much that you have written about. Thank you …divorce is such a lonely time that it is very comforting to read that I am not alone in my experiences…

Ek is besig om jou nuwe boek te lees. Soos die eerste een, is die een net so inspirerend. Dis dis sielskos! Ek gaan hom ook vir die hele wereld uitdeel om te lees. Hoop jy sien kans vir nog 'n paar boeke...

What a wonderful and inspiring speech. Thank you.
- Cathy Brookes

Natasha, Thanx for your kind words. I never realised that With my husbands illness and my job that I totally lost myself. What a callback to reality it was. On the other hand, even though the light in my life is very ill after 30 years, raising 18 kids(thank heaven not all our own!!!!!) he still hold my heart in the palm of his hand and he will always be my Prince Charming. He loved the wand you gave me..

- Gertjè Monk

Bittersweet came at the perfect time in my life and was very inspirational. And just a few days ago I started writing in a journal with the hope of somehow finding a purpose of 'me' in there. SO today I started reading Fairytale and once again, it came at the perfect time. You and the work that you do are a blessing to others. Here's to living sideways.

Hi Natasha. Yesterday finished reading Fairytale... WOW and WOW !! I enjoyed it soooooo much, couldn't put it down and when finished felt sad to put it down... have to start from page 1 again. I love your books, love your writing style, love your personality (whatever your soul is made of, it's the same as me). My quest for my Muchness has started... whoo hoo !! Please keep on writing....

- Juliette Illingworth Meintjes

Natasha..jy weet dit seker reeds.. maar wou met jou deel wat jou stories vir my en sekerlik baie ander vrounes beteken wat self deur 'n egskeiding gaan. Jou stories beteken vir my...hoop...gerustelling..vrede...moed..gevoel.. Ek kon nog nooit vir enige iemand "articulate" waardeer ek gaan nie en ek het dit wat ek nie kon beskryf nie in jou boeke gelees.. dankie daarvoor
- Silvia Camara

Hi Natasha. I might be the ONLY testosterone generating organism that will write on this website and probably the only point at which our lives meet is a passion for rugby , but then the first Springbok captain that I watched play was Felix du Plessis, Morne’s dad! Tx for helping out with the perennial problem that we oestrogen deprived people have of trying to gain insight into our partners of the species.

- Stefanie Wilkens de Kock

Well now how can I not like a fellow Sharks supporters page, especially one where ladies can go to if they are looking for some encouragement to better help them in the crappy situation they find themselves in ....... Continue the good work Natasha, and may the future hold only good stuff for you and all the ladies out there ........ Ok .... I have now over exhausted my afrikaner brain .......
- Wessel Bothma

Roxy darling your book is helping so many, and hopefully sending a message that although a difficult and challenging process lies ahead, there is always life beyond the discovery that your husband has been having an affair…Well done

Hi Natasha…Trevor here… I was married for 10 years to a notorious bipolar schizophrenic. Yeah baby! Been there, done that, got the blood on the t-shirt. Its faith that gets you through. Faith and bit of Bittersweet….
- Trevor

What a wonderful inspration you are to so many of us! Can't wait to read your book, after your talk on the ship...it was the best I've ever had the honour to attend, and it will stay with me for the rest of my life, while I 'write' my own Fairytale life story...

- Nelia Read

Dear Natasha

The intention of this email is to provide you with feedback regarding the effect that your books has had on me, as individual but also as a Clinical Psychologist. I have read Bittersweet quite some time ago. The past week I took a week off from my practice and finally had time to devote almost entirely to your book, Fairytale.

You and your story and the way in which you share it found a very, very special place in my heart. You touched me deeply. The congruency and transparency with which you share your journey and your struggles speaks of integrity! Now that I am writing this to you I find myself actually struggling to find words to convey the impact of your books to you. Women so easily and so quickly lose their sparkle and it is so visible on their faces (in therapy and out there). It is quite saddening. (Fairytale also opened my own eyes regarding this in my own life.) This book validates this reality for those women and also guides them via your own personal journey (shared with so much sincerity and genuineness). You are truly a remarkable role model for women out there and for myself – and a true inspiration. I do hope that you can hear (see) me in saying (writing) to you that you truly are a remarkable woman who is living her calling! My wish for you is that you will experience love in abundance!!

Warmest Regards
