I got my first professional gig when I was 10. I sang and played
fiddle in the Opryland Kid's Club show...
I miss Opryland...
My middle name is Patricia... After my Mamma.
When I was little I didn't really like practicing the violin, so Mamma
started taking me to the park because she knew that if I had an
audience I would play for hours.
I think people that wear my t-shirts to my shows automatically qualify
as the coolest people ever!
When I sang for the President I learned that Laura calls him "Georgie"
when everyone else has left the room.
I think people that come to my shows automatically qualify as the
coolest people ever!
When I was on Oprah I met a woman who could spell any word you said...
backwards... I can't do that...
As a kid, my imaginary friends all looked like Woodstock from Snoopy.
Before I made my living with music I once got paid to dress up like
Tony the Tiger at a WalMart grand opening.
I love going into a room of people that have never heard me or my
music and doing my best to win them over before they leave...
I love going into a room of people that already know me and my music
even more...
For my thirteenth birthday I asked if I could finally ride my bike on
the street... Mamma finally said yes... but by then it wasn't cool
anymore...
I hope I get to meet you someday... since you're reading this, you're probably awesome... = )
Cookies rule... I like to bake them one or two at a time for dessert.
When I won the Trix Silliest Kid in America contest I found out from
the local news when they said, "Natalie and her whole family are on
their way to Disney World", but we weren't... We were in my living
room...
One time when I was babysitting a three-year-old I accidentally ran
over her tricycle... I think I was more upset than she was...
I know it's a great show when I see people trying to sing along with
songs that I know they don't know the words to... That's my favorite.
= )
Even though I'm not very cool, some days people treat me like I really
am cool... which is fun when it happens, but no matter what comes in
my life, I hope I never get used to that.
I know that if it weren't for the people who keep coming to my shows,
buying my music, and telling their friends, I wouldn't be able to do
what I love... And I would be sad... I hope I can write music and live
my life to make them all proud...
I think that since you just read my crazy, silly bio, you
automatically qualify as the coolest person ever!
Life is something you cannot fake you live and learn from each mistake. Sunny days or cloudy skies Happy Greetings or Sad Goodbyes So Don't sit by and let time pass For live each day like it's your last.
This is something that you must do if you expect to grow and stick it through. All the sadness all the pain wash it away like the rain. Fast or slow whatever your pace take your time life is not a race.
A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' - or - whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened...and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back...a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back...HE SHOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow. "Shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up!" he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or distressing the situation seemed the old mule fought "panic" and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP! You're right! It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, STEPPED TRIUMPHANTLY OVER THE WALL OF THAT WELL! What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him...all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity. THAT'S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity...THE ADVERSITIES THAT COME ALONG TO BURY US USUALLY HAVE WITHIN THEM THE POTENTIAL TO BENEFIT AND BLESS US! Remember that FORGIVENESS--FAITH--PRAYER-- PRAISE and HOPE...all are excellent ways to "SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP" out of the wells in which we find ourselves!

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we Miss Spirit's blessings and answers to our prayers because they do not arrive exactly as we have expected?

I was told this when I was 8, I hope you like it. The old man became a good friend of mine.
THINK, BELIEVE, DREAM, AND DARE
I was eight-year-old and approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes, and asked: "I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to know the secret of life." The old man looked down at the youngster and replied: "I've thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed up in four words. The first word is THINKING. Think about the values you wish to live your life by. The second word is BELIEVE. Believe in yourself based on the thinking you've done about the values you're going to live your life by.
The third word is DREAM. Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you're going to live by. The last word is DARING. Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and your values." And with that, Walter E. Disney said to the little boy, "Think, Believe, Dream, and Dare."
