Hope and Good Feelings
I have been looking to Sark for guidance since I was fifteen and that was seven years ago. Her earlier works brought laughter,fun,and courage to be different and enjoy it. However I think this book is my favorite. She gets warmer and more honest with each new thing she gets published. Her words on sickness,self image, and "healings gone wrong" are wonderful. Each story can be familiar,illuminating,and hopeful. Her words can be reminders or they can change your view into something new and wonderful ( SARK tricks you into this by making her books colorful and fun to look at!) Troubling issues loose there severity and you are woven in a warm cocoon with all the other women who are feeling the same things and working on similar issues. I love this book! Thank you SARK you are definitely a "beacon of hope"

healing with grace and laughter
SARK's books have always hit a genuine spot inside of me-ever since I discovered her "How To Be An Artist" poster before her books were even out. There is so much information out there about self-discovery and healing but SARK brings grace and laughter to these sometimes terrifying truths we live. Her work connects with people in their hearts and that is so much more than most books give. You feel a certain spirit when you read her books and see her artwork.They stay with you and you remember how wonderful it is to have brief moments of grace and how it feels to not be alone in your struggles. This and more are the reasons I will always look to SARK's work for help, healing and inspiration. Have you checked out her website campsark.com, there's an amazing message board that is a true testament to SARK's influence and support of women everywhere! Viva SARK.

Title says it all so well
Ok I admit that I was attracted to this book (I own all her books) because of Chapter on Bodies and the topic of Why Do We Care About Chin Hairs. My late Mother in Law whom I idolized would sit and pluck her chin hairs as she watched television. And SARK points out that the reason some people care so much is because of the preoccupation society has with "looks". My mother in laws chin hair simply served as a reminder that we as human animals have hair in places we wish we didn't and have no hair in places we wished we did. Her chapter on page 66 Food And Where It Leads Us speaks of the love hate relationship some people have with food. People who meet me say I look like a cross between the fairy godmother in the Disney Cinderella and some wild mountain woman. I am not thin I am not fat I am plump and like myself, even though I am always trying to improve on myself for ME which is what SARK talks about.
The whole book I must say is full of wisdom and fun and is a book I read and read and re-read and glean new wisdom from each time. There is something I believe in all sincerity, for every woman who reads the book.
