Hi Jon,
I just had a quick question for you. Do you have any tips for handling anxiety while traveling all the time. I have suffered from an anxiety disorder since I was a kid and traveling can sometimes be a trigger for me. I would love to travel however I can't seem to make it out of New England. Any words of wisdom from you would be appreciated. I have a great deal of respect for you. I have a strange feeling we have a lot in common(Not to creep you out or anything). I too have a passion for horses, I dream about owning my own farm someday. Right now a great escape for me is beachriding in Maine I hope you have the opprotunity to go there and ride if you haven't already.
Thanks,
Jocelyn

Aloha Jon,

I am really proud of you through all those years of handling your anxiety disorder. I also want you to know that it is something that you can't get rid of. I have a high respect for you and I love that you went to public television to talk about your disorder. When I feel like I am going to have an anxiety attack, I go to the beaches that we have on the island and just sit on the sand and listen to the ocean, that calms me down. I love going to the beach all the time. When ever you come to the islands like oahu, I hope that I can show you some of the beaches that I go to. Well if you have had the opprotunity yet. So to see you and the rest of the guys here for a concert soon and I will be able to attend the concert. Or even have a chance to show you around the island.

Love & Aloha,

Hi Jon
My name is Anne, and I was at your concert in Glasgow on Sunday night, the 18th. In the afternoon, my friend Lorraine and I were standing outside at the stage door. you came over in the freezing cold, spoke to us and were lovely signing my CD. I just wanted to say thank you so much. The concert was amazing, it surpassed all my expectations and made me feel like a teenager all over again! Amazing nostalgia! come back very soon! xxxx

Hola Jonathan:
Me llamo Patty y soy peruana. Desde hace muchos años sigo su musica y soy una gran admiradora de ustedes. Cuando tenia 15 años escribi una historia sobre ustedes y tú eras el centro de mi historia. Tengo tantos recuerdos tuyos de tu familia, de tu carrera y de tu vida, que me parece increible que ahora tenga 33 años y aun siga sintiendo el mismo cariño por ti... Y una gran admiracion por saber que eres un gran hombre que con valentia has enfrentado tu ansiedad y cualquier obstaculo en tu vida. Un gran regalo para mi seria poder contar con tu amistad y que llegaras a saber que cuentas con una BUENA AMIGA a la distancia. Ojala puedan llegar por aqui por PERU y regalarnos su buena musica y su linda compañia.
Te envio un beso y abrazo a la distancia, pero no solo hoy, desde siempre y para siempre.
Tu amiga que te quiere y recuerda siempre. PATTY

Hola Jon,

My name is Karina and I'm from Mexico, I went to your concert in Monterrey and it was very special for me to see you guys for the first time after more than 15 years of being your fan, I was so excited...
Also I'm so happy that you spent your birthday here in Mexico and that you like so much.
I hope I can see you again soon in another concert.

Hi Jon,

I just signed up so I could say Thank you... I was at your concert last nite in Dublin, I've waited almost 20 years (makes me feel old-lol) to see you guys-and may I say it was a fantastic nite :-) I haven't smiled as much-or screamed so much in a long time. I've spent the last month waiting for tests and results for Hodgkins Disease, I'm only 31 years old...and last nite was the 1st time in over a month where I've gone for hours without worrying or feeling scared of what may come...so, Thank you so very much for those 3 hours of pure fun and enjoyment...sadly I'm hoarse today from screaming lol...small price to pay for an amazing nite...I hope the rest of your tour is as much fun...go raibh maith agat...Grá...Vicki
