In her book “Prosperity Pie”, SARK quotes her friend Zoe age 5 “Oh Susan, why don’t you just BE how you ACTUALLY are?” SARK continues with ”I thought about how often I’m NOT how I actually am, or more important WHO I actually am…I’m often pretending, hiding, in disguise or wearing a mask of some kind.”

Isn’t this true of all of us at one time or another and maybe at more times than we’d like? Saturday night I watched a little boy who gleefully yelled out “I want a present!” during an awards ceremony (with gift wrapped awards).  I laughed at his unabashed enthusiasm and his ability to state what he was honestly feeling – in the moment.  He did not care what anyone felt or thought and he wanted us to know what he wanted.

We go along in life, trying to building strong, self-fulfilling relationships – ones that are empowering, increase our self confidence and make us feel great about ourselves.  I’m not sure we can do that without revealing our honest selves.  It seems like we have to figure out who we our, to ourselves, before we can share it with any one else.

So, I’m challenging me to reveal a little more about who I am to someone I trust in my life.   I encourage you do to the same.

Namaste’

It was in the 1990’s that I discovered SARK.  I madly started collecting her zany, creative  and inspirational books with titles like “Prosperity Pie”, “Succulent Wild Woman” and “Living Juicy”.  A visit to her website will give you a brief glimpse of her style and brightness.

I can remember receiving a newletter subscription and anticipated my monthly installment of inspiration and wisdom.  Reading treasures included stories about her travels, her cat, speaking engagements and friends. Her website now offers an e letter that seems to serve the same purpose, in a more technologically savvy way, while remaining highly creative and appealing (who else writes in crayon?!)

This month I’ll be sharing snippets of her wisdom.  I hope you get a chance to check out this wild woman’s approach to life.  It’s amazing.
