A weekend with SARK

I was first introduced to SARK (a.k.a. Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy) on vacation in Asheville, N.C., more than a decade ago. Someone gave me her book Succulent Wild Woman.

As one of the many people in the world who survived a rough childhood, her message to heal thyself struck a cord. Beyond that, it’s hard not to fall in love with someone who not only writes their books by hand and in technicolor, but publishes many of them that way, too. (She also encourages her readers to color in her books.)

Her works make you want to live a less inhibited life. They urge you to chase your dreams, give into the urge to nap and to explore your creative desires.

So, it is with nothing less that total enthusiasm that I announce this: I’m going to spend the weekend with SARK!

Goddess in Bloom is hosting a 3-day, 2-night “Making Your Creative Dreams Real” interactive workshop near Chapel Hill, N.C. This, my friends, is my graduation present to myself.

I look  back over the last many years, some of which were terribly difficult, and think of the many times I’ve turned to a SARK book for a little inspiration. I’ve come a long way in a short time and I know that is due in part to the lessons SARK has taught me through her luscious (she seems to love the word luscious) words.

Thank you, SARK. Can’t wait to meet you so I can thank you in person.
