Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy (SARK) is unlike any other writer I have encountered. She writes in colored markers and draws doodles on the pages. Her free writing makes the reader feel free as well. SARK (as she is often called) is a survivor of sibling incest and used her writing to heal from that experience. She tells her readers that it is okay to write on walls or stay in their pajamas as they write and she lifts your spirit with her writing style. SARK suggests writing down your 10 favorite females, favorite books, inspirational people and encourages friendships. SARK is good for the soul and almost feels like a guilty pleasure she is so much fun to read – but she has an important message as well. Writing CAN be fun. Write down your impossible dreams, draw on the pages, write with no lines… live life with joy and it will be joyous.

Video

I could not find a video of SARK and contacted her and she was nice enough to provide the following video (which is WONDERFUL): Thank you SARK!

Planet Sark

I highly recommend visiting her website or calling her “inspirational phone line” which has been inspiring people for ten years at 415-546-3742.
Here is a link to a mp3 file to hear her speak.

Resources:

Website: Planet SARK – very representative of her books and so much fun.

Her page on self growth.com promises videos in the future and lists many inspirational quotes and articles.

Books: “Succulent Wild Woman” “Sark’s Journal and Playbook: A Place to Dream While Awake” (has some writing ideas in it and some blank pages to play).

“Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper: Gifting the World with Your Words and Stories, and Creating the Time and Energy to Actually Do it” — Her newest book

What Jenny Mannion has learned from Sark

When I was upset about being so sick — writing became yet another place for me to talk of how sick I was. Sark showed me I had a lot more positive things to write about and she introduced me to writing gratitude lists.

Sark also showed me that everyone has a story – their own unique life and if you don’t get it down who will?

“We are each born creative—then we forget our purpose, or mission. We believe our doubts and fears, and slowly stop “being creative,” as though it were a separate thing.” — Susan Sark
