Life is GOOD!
Everything's Amazing and Yet Nobody is Happy
In an interview, SARK was talking about how people can change their lives just by changing their attitudes...by being grateful for what we DO have rather than always complaining about what we DON'T. She mentioned a feeling of entitlement among our current generation, and that a good depiction of this is found in this funny video with comedian Louis CK on Conan O'Brian.
Secret of Happiness is to be Thankful
I love how he said everything is amazing right now and nobody is happy. It is a symptom of a deeper issue with our society, if only we viewed our lives and situations with the correct perspective we would be much happier.

Sark's New Creative Companion: Ways to Free Your Creative Spirit
It's little things that make us feel really alive, those small actions and subtle gestures that can potentially lead to great moments of magic and joy. Yet we're so frequently occupied with day-to-day responsibilities and commitments that a mere moment of magic often seems miles away. In this book, you will discover insight and suggestions for creating everyday magic in your life no matter where you are. Stories, poems, and exercises that provide inspiration, self-reflection, and discovery - all cheerfully handwritten in SARK's trademark style and embellished with her vibrant colorful illustrations. From treasuring yourself and others to living artistically and free, this book will open your heart and your mind, and remind you that it's never too late to kindle or rekindle your own loving and creative spirit.
You Are My Gorgeous Friend Note Cards by SARK
Who wouldn't be absolutely delighted to receive one of these gorgeous cards created in the unique style of SARK? This delightful boxed set contains twenty 5" x 7" blank note cards (plus envelopes) comprised of five cards each of four images.
Succulent Wild Woman
While I'm a avid fan of ALL of SARK's work, this title is a personal favorite and has become my "bible" of sorts! I love the honesty, freedom, delightful humor (I'm talking giggle FITS here!), color, and creativity that comes spilling forth from its handwritten pages! The little notes and pictures in the margins are a delight -- I even am inspired to add my own to hers, have scribbled all over this book! At the end of each section she has a page full of other resources (books, tapes, newsletters, etc.) on the topic she's been writing about, and even suggestions for music to listen to for inspiration! Strongly recommend this succulent and wild book be given to daughters (mothers, aunts, friends, co-workers, grandmas, etc.) everywhere who need a burst of positive energy and colorful inspiration in their lives!
Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper: Gifting the World with Your Words and Stories, and Creating the Time and Energy to Actually Do It
SARK is a sparkler who jump-starts the creative process. Her ideas are user-friendly, innovative, and pragmatic. Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way
Let SARK show you how to write and share what's in your heart! . Here's your non-judgmental witness, resoundingly supportive friend, and practical guide to the craft of writing and storytelling. For anyone who knows that a writer lives within them but doesn't know how or where to start; for writers who need new ways to work past their blocks and be inspired; for anyone who loves SARK... these wise words and art, this will help start the ink flowing and keep it going.
Juicy Living Cards
There simply IS no deck of cards in the universe like this one! SARK brings you 50 simple ways to practice more self-love and "Juicy Living." New ways of looking at time, love, and money, as well as support for our "splendid imperfections." The message also seems to be about letting out our inner child, the nurturing woman and the sexy goddess.
One of my favorite cards... "Invite Someone Dangerous To Tea" - on this card you are encouraged to fling yourself into story telling and tea sipping. Dangerous tea also includes delicious chocolate cake! Back of Card: "Let's share outrageous stories and eat impossibly delicious cake."
This set of cards would be perfect to give to any of your friends with a bunch of flowers or you could even give individual cards away, post them at your office or leave them here or there to brighten up the world. You might need two or more boxes! :) One to keep and lots to give away.

What Others are Saying about SARK
"We, in the world, and this weary-old world itself, have a great gaping need for SARK. Let's call for more and more SARK to fill every book bag and each attaché case."
Maya Angelou, author
" SARK's gentle and effervescent work is a festive, creative catalyst that throws open a wide and generous gate"
Julia Cameron, author of "The Artist' Way"
"SARK's work is so delightful. She brings out the creative child in all of us. I have loved SARK and her work since the moment I met her."
Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life
- More Kudos for SARK...
"I discovered SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy) some twenty-or-so years ago. She hails from my local area in California and so I have actually bumped into her at an event or two that we both happened to be attending. She is a wonderful curly redhead and her face is always shining with light and a smile as big as the sky. I think she has had an "imperfect" childhood (how strange!! most of us had perfect ones, right?) and has created her life and her philosophy as a way to heal herself and, in the process, spread joy and healing to other women.
Every single one of her books appears to be written in a childlike hand, and every page is embellished with her colorful watercolor doodlings, drawings, illustrations and cartoons. Many a page with artful sentiments has been torn out and posted on my walls or bulletin boards. She has published 10-20 books and travels around the world on speaking engagements and leading womens' friendship workshops. Her website is almost an identical reflection of her signature stylings and will even feature her own warm and happy voice speaking to you from a tiny little movie about herself. I don't know if her "daily inspiration line" still exists, but she used to have a phone number you could call and listen to an inspirational recording in her own personal voice which was changed daily and actually seemed like she was speaking to you personally right on the phone!"
