Hi!
I know that it's been a very long time since you've heard from me, but please believe that I have not forgotten any of you who have been and continue to be so loyal and supportive! As the holidays are approaching, I thought I'd update you on what I'm doing, what Sue and Beau are up to, and life in general.
We had a great summer in Saratoga where my horses did very well! Beau worked in the stables and attended a theater camp in the Catskill Mountains where he had a role in "Evita". Sue got her instrument pilot's license (not an easy feat!) and, as you know, I've been on and off the road, in and out of the country with some funny times along the way, although they didn't seem so as they happened.
Did you ever lose your passport while overseas? Don't! It's a nightmare. My wallet got lost when I arrived in New Zealand and I didn't realize it until I got to the hotel. You can't check in without a passport, so after what seemed like an endless flight, I had to go right back to the airport and, very luckily for me and thanks to people's good natures, someone had actually turned it in - with everything in it. Talk about relief! I did a TV show there since my book was just released there, and turned right around and came home.
Speaking of my book, "Could It Be Forever?", it is FINALLY available in the U.S.! I'm told that you can find it at Barnes & Noble stores, Borders, Amazon.com and smaller independent bookstores. And if you can't find it, you can definitely order it because there is inventory in this country at last. Let me know what you think of it!
And we have another author in the house - Sue's first book has just been released. Right now you can find it on Amazon.com. It's called "The World's Greatest Email" and it's a compilation of some of the funniest, most informative, interesting emails ever.

I have a few more dates before the end of the year and then I'm going to take some R&R and spend time at home with my family. On December 15, I'll be in Enid, Oklahoma at the Chisholm Trail Expo Centre.
**********************************************************
I appreciate how much you care about me, and I've received an enormous number of requests for autographed photos. As you know, some time ago I stopped signing individual photos unless they were personalized because I was offended by the number of items that were being sold on eBay without my authorization and for personal gain, not for charity. So I've decided that for this coming holiday season, I will individually personalize and sign a new photo. I find it necessary, in good conscience, to use this to raise funds to donate to charity. Thus, I am asking US$20 for each autographed photo plus US$5 to pay for shipping and handling. I think you'll have pay state tax, so please check. Outside the U.S., you will have to provide postage or US$10.
**************************************************
One of the reasons I've had so much trouble signing autographs and shaking hands in the past is because I have had a horrible condition on my hands that caused them to crack, bleed and cause me tremendous pain. And then Sue brought me an amazing group of products that virtually cured my symptoms.
I feel compelled to tell you about this. Sometimes, something happens and you feel that you just have to share it with people. Most people -except the closest ones to me - haven't known about the pain, embarrassment and self consciousness I have experienced associated with this condition.
Those of you who have been fans of mine from the beginning know that I have never been an advocate for or recommended products of any kind in the past. It's just not my style.
Well. a few months ago, after coming off the road from a number of concert performances, I experienced a recurrence of this very painful and ugly skin condition on my hands.
Since I am a skeptic by nature, and having tried so many prescriptions and various remedies, Sue practically forced me to try 2 products when I got home called Intelligence Hand Cream and Intelligence Conditioning Oil.
I, of course, rolled my eyes and thought-"Ok- I'll humor her", but, remarkably, in 5 days of using these 2 products- for the first time in my life- the condition completely cleared up and my hands were healed.
I have suffered from cracking, bleeding and peeling skin on my hands for years. It had become so painful that often it was almost impossible to play my guitar. The frustration and pain as well as the embarrassment of the way my hands looked had become almost intolerable.
So, kids. I became extremely interested in finding out who manufactured these products. I learned that the company, Arbonne International, has been around for nearly 30 years, although I had never heard of it before. The products are formulated in Switzerland and manufactured in the USA. It is a "green" company, the products botanically based and the company has no animal testing and uses no animal by-products- and you all know my love for animals.
Sue did extensive research on my behalf and purchased a number of other skin, hair and body products. Now, our whole house has become "Arbonnized" and I'm telling you that this stuff is fantastic! All I know is, it really works for us and for our friends who have tried it.
Sue became so enthusiastic after seeing the results I had, researching the company and using the products, that she has now started her own Arbonne business. She has completely thrown herself into this because she is blown away.
If you are curious to know more about the products and the company, all I can say is contact Sue at suecassidyteam@gmail.com and she will tell you all about it.
As fate would have it, Arbonne just opened their business in the U.K. on November 4th, having just recently become available in Canada and Australia.
Sue is planning several trips to help educate people and assist them in opening their own Arbonne businesses and I will be accompanying her on some of them, as my schedule allows. That's how much I believe in this!
I hope that what I have shared with you about my own personal experience and my opinion of these products is helpful to you or anyone you may know who suffers as I did. I certainly can't guarantee results for you. All I know is what I've experienced and it would have been selfish of me not to share the information with you.
These products are not just for problems, though. Arbonne has tons of stuff for everyone from the cradle to the grave, and I gotta tell you that Sue's skin has never been softer and she has never looked better. Even Beau is using it!

I am delighted to say that I will finally be introducing a new web site in the next month or so. I really want to hear your feedback so please write to me at david@davidcassidy.com and tell me what you think, what you like and don't like, and we'll do our best to bring you what you want.

And here's a news flash -- My brothers and I are developing a project for TV. You never know if these things will happen, but all we can do is try - and have fun doing it. There are certainly no other people I'd rather work with! Please don't ask any questions, because we don't have any answers to give you. As soon as we do, you'll be the first to know! There is currently a Writer's Guild strike and we have no idea when it will be over.
Until the next time.
Happy Trails,
DC
