So we flew to Dallas... charlie is obsessed with Texas and i have to say they are LOVELY people. caroline and I flew in and we were met by Kathleen and taken to our hotel... after a few hours rest we started the book signing...

WELL... I have never seen a crowd like it! They were lovely! The security guard was saying that they were getting impatient outside and I started to worry but it as all fine and dandy.

I had some lovely gifts and I didn't believe what everyone was saying, how people had slept in cars overnight and also how people sat in chairs outside the store all day to meet me... until I met those people. WOW!!!

That is incredible. I am so overwhelmed by it and how you are all so lovely and welcoming me to cities that you live in. I made sure everyone had a hug... You had all come so far to see me it was incredible!

Chris, my production manager was there at the signing and it was so lovely to see him and his dad. Caroline is my assistant and works with me and Chris is her brother... I finally met their Dad tonight who is adorable and I love their family. I just need to meet mom and then I have met all of them.

Chris and Caroline, have made my life so easy in so many ways and have helped out so many people. Chris was always someone I could turn to when I was filming the show and Caroline is my right hand woman who has everything covered!!!

I also met with Joleen and Andy who are other friends of mine who live in Dallas too... I haven't seen Joleen for a while but she cracks me up everytime I see her... Andy and Joleen are so funny together, they actually have a comedy sketch they do....

So tonight I have spent smiling at people and laughing with everyone, and reconnecting with people who are dear to me. It's always nice to reconnect, and I feel I am about to reconnect with you all, now that we are on the last leg of the book tour and have one more signing to before LA....

I have missed blogging daily and being there an commenting in the boards, it's important to me, however we all need our rest!!! Take me for you and relax, even if it's just taking time away from work... it's not going anywhere it will still be there!!!

Slow down and embrace everything that happens and enjoy.. thats the key.... enjoyment!

Have fn.

Thank care and with love

Oh it was SO much fun to have my mate, Janey with me in NYC... I am really happy she took me up on the offer of blogging as I know how you all like to hear what is really happening in my world.

It's been crazy and Janey came to the airport today with us and saw us off... And she is on a plane back to the UK as we speak! I am here in Atlanta lying in bed having had almost a 3 hour book signing!!!

It was just incredible. The people in Atlanta are SO nice and polite and respectful... just beautiful people, and they waited so long to meet me and get a hug and a signature.

This is the first night where I didn't have to rush off to do a large audience so I was able to spend much longer with people... someone drove 6 hours to meet me... it was AMAZING!!!

Janeys' blog was so true to how we were, and I really wish she had been there for this one, and what suprised me was our media rep was telling me about another author who signs labels and sticks them on their book... I was gobsmacked!!! That is not a book signing!!!

And on one of the books today that I signed for stock, I kissed, as I put the label on it saying autographed copy... oh it was SO much fun!!!

Well for me it was important to make everyone feel as special as the next person and that is what we need to remember in life, we are all the same and that people deserve respect no matter what.

Give everyone you speak to, your full devotion and listen to them, it may just be for a moment but make sure it happens!!!

Happy Friday!!!

Lots of Love and we're off to Dallas!!!

Here we are in Long Island and Lisa is out front signing books (and body parts, no doubt) so I have taken the responsibility of blogging away from her - just for tonight. I know her, she will be up till 3am catching up with emails and worrying about not blogging. She and Caroline leave early in the morning for Atlanta so it’s important she gets some rest.

Writing something inspiring and thought provoking isn’t quite my thing – that’s Lisa’s job. This will just be idle chatter, observations and gentle leg pulling (translation = teasing).
I have had THE BEST time with Lisa and Caroline. I’m sure most of you realise that I knew Lisa BEFORE she was famous and to me she is still just my “mate” so to witness all of the hysteria surrounding her has been totally surreal! And I mean HYSTERIA! If I’m honest with you, I’ve found it hard to take it all in at times. She hasn’t changed; she’s still Witchy my BFF from Redditch it’s just that now she has a very public job. And, boy, do her public ADORE her.

I can totally understand why – she is great at her job and she is THE best friend anyone could ever hope to have. I love her unconditionally and she is more sister than friend.

She did her first book signing last night and I couldn’t believe how people were swooning over her, lol. They waited patiently for AGES just to get a glimpse of her and to get their books signed. Some were totally crushed that she didn’t have time to do Q&A (and the reason there wasn’t time for that is because we didn’t expect there to be over 100 peeps and signing books was more important to
Lisa than answering questions plus she had a show in Tarrytown so there was a tight time schedule).
Tonight we did another signing; I say “we” because I have been her groupie during this trip, following her around like one of her star struck fans, so it was my signing as much as hers! When we turned up, I got out of the car and could see people inside the book store and their little faces lit up when they saw it was LISA! It totally cracked me up and I sang that little Sandra Bullock ditty from Miss Congeniality, “they love you, they want to marry you”. It was one of those classic comedy moments and we almost wet our pants laughing. It sort of set the tone for the rest of the evening and we have had a great time on our last night together.

People actually cheered when Lisa walked into Barnes and Noble! I was still wetting my pants from the Sandra Bullock thing so this incident gave me plenty more to tease her about.
Pam Bowman – on behalf of Lisa “thank you” for the wonderful gift. Lisa has lots of bead necklaces in her meditation room and she knows just where yours will go when she gets back home. That’s a beautiful piece of jewellery. If you don’t make those to sell on, then you should consider doing so! Hint, hint – pink is my colour! I’m teasing!!!

Everyone has been so generous with gifts and greetings – thank you to you all. Lisa is very overwhelmed by your generousity.

The show tonight was just fab; Lisa was on fire. The audience was buzzing and there was an incredible atmosphere – thank you Long Island, you were an absolute pleasure.

It’s Caroline’s birthday today and we were lucky enough to find the time for a celebratory lunch (complete with Perrier Jouet – Lisa’s favourite champagne) and a horse-drawn carriage ride around Central Park. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was relaxed and we had a really pleasant trip. We saw people sunbathing on “Manhattan Beach” and I was thankful that it’s not only us Brits who strip down and lie down at the first glimpse of sunshine.

I am so proud of Lisa. She works so hard, and for so much of the time and I am glad she is getting the recognition she deserves. I was privileged to be in the GMA studio yesterday when she was interviewed by Diane Sawyer. Naturally I don’t know who this lady is but I understand she’s “big”. I thought the interview was great. Lisa handled herself well, but she always does, she’s a true professional and I think Diane asked some thought provoking questions. The quote she took from Lisa’s book at the end of the interview was lovely and I feel it was an acknowledgement of Lisa’s gift. Reading between the lines, I also took that as a sign that Diane believes in mediumship. Just my observation, please don’t go crazy about it on the message boards!! I see it has been a hot topic of discussion.

Tomorrow I return to the UK and I am sad to be leaving Lisa. I wish I could complete the rest of the book tour with her and Caroline.

I totally “heart” New York and I need to get the T-shirt tomorrow. This is my first trip here but it won’t be my last. Our hotel has been a lot like Fawlty Towers (google it if you don’t know what I’m on about) but it’s given us plenty of laughs and certainly many precious memories (aside from my 2 hour nightmare of a check-in on Saturday – some people just shouldn’t be in customer service!!).
Chick – thanks for getting me here; nagging me to get my son looked after, paying for my ticket, AND for my hotel AND subbing me some spending money… you are just too good to me but you know I don’t take it for granted. I love you loads and am so proud of all you have achieved. I am truly honoured to have you as my BFF. I just don’t have the words in me to express just what you mean to me… you certainly are one “Top Chick”.

Love to all
