I was driving to go meet my friends on day and i passed a spirituality store and for some reason i stopped and went in and bought this book. it was like some force was forcing me to this book. When i got home i opened it and from that point one i was a changed woman. i am going to buy this book for each and every woman i know.

Cynthia from Alberta, 6/7/98, Wonder. Full

I bought this book for myself when I saw it in a bookstore, it almost jumped off the shelf into my hands. The color was so inviting and the minute I looked inside I knew it was for me. I read it on the way home in the car to myself and to my husband. I can't read in the car because of motion sickness but I was willing to risk it for the acceptance the writing was giving me.

I belong to the LOUD WOMEN'S GROUP and I want a LOUD AND SUCCULENT parade!

Cheryl, 4/4/98

I loved this book so much and was so inspired by it I considered spending my savings to buy a copy for every woman I know. Thank you Sark...

Lori from N. Attleboro, MA , 02/18/98, What an AMAZING Book!
I love this book-- it's become my "bible" of sorts! I love the honesty, freedom, delightful humor (I'm talking giggle fits!), color, and creativity that comes spilling forth from its handwritten pages! I love the little notes and pictures in the margins-- I'm even inspired to add my own to hers! I love that she "grants you permission" to read the book in random order, backwards, forwards or upside down if you want to (I read it in random order and backwards!). I love that 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! I love that I've been quoting from it to family and friends since I started it and that I've already ordered 3 more copies for friends! I love that I received it for Valentines Day from two succulent and wild people- my Mom and Dad, and strongly recommend it 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! Wow.

Amber from Ontario, Canada , 12/27/97, A beautiful, insightful, entertaining and scrumtous book.
I recieved this book for Christmas from my best friend. She bought it for me because when she saw it, she instantly make the connection between SARK and me. Never before had I read something so brutally honest and equally inlightning. It changed my generall outlook on things because I have always been an individual whom craves chaos and wild weirdness. But never before did I consider that there is this part in every woman that is yearning to be succulent and wild. I loved SARK's animation which was often completely out of context. To all of those women out there who read this and say, "What is she talking about? Who is this person and why does she insist upon raving about this book?" I have and answer for you, Because we are all Succulent Wild Women and we deserve read such brilliant gibberish!!!! Now go out there and write a book about your crazzy,deliscious life!

K. from Wolfville, Nova Scotia Canada , 11/27/97, This book helped me change my life!
"You must read this book. It will put everything in perspective." This book was lent to me by a very good friend after a period of significant change in my life. SARK's constant and consistent attitude towards living life to its fullest is beyond "motivational" or "inspirational." Never preaching, this book is a good introduction to renewing one's attitude toward living (for those of us out there who forgot what life was really all about). The colourful, handwritten pages convey a wide range of emotions, and I laughed out loud at her drawings and side comments. Her energy and zest for living is contagious! This book made me want to read others by SARK, which is what I'm doing now!

A Reader from St. Paul, MN , 11/18/97, Great
I enjoyed this book very much. It is simple, lighthearted and easy to read, yet says so much. The suggestions in this book bring us back to basics and center our souls. Sark writes about women and how to support ourselves and each other - emotionally not financially. I recommend this book for all women.

MeeCee from Los Angeles, CA , 09/30/97, A better lift than sipping peppermint tea in a bubble bath!
Inspiring and action-oriented, SARK's "Succulence" not only filled me with enthusiasm, but got me MOVING! Bracing like a sunrise walk along the ocean, as soothing as a candelit bubble bath with a cup of peppermint tea, SARK nudged me back on the road to my own creativity.

Jeanne, 06/16/97, Wanted to send one to every one of my sisters!
I couldn't put this book down. I opened it standing at my kitchen counter and read the first three chapters standing there. I ordered 6 copies for gifts before finishing the book. It is a wonderful book giving us permission to truly be ourselves without apology or even explainations and letting our own delicious creativity run free.

KB, 06/15/97, An invitation to love yourself, play and create!
I had to read this book through at one sitting, it was too much fun to put down! I laughed out loud many times at Sark's observations and self-descriptions. She shares many inspiring ways to release our succulent selves and I have appropriated two ideas already! Sark is a wonderful inspiration to Celebrate Life... now I'll have to look at her other books!

A Reader, 05/09/97
Sark is an exquisite human being first, a marvelous author second. Her honesty, quest for magic and ability to address life with tenderness, courage and a fabulous sense of humor is splashed all over the pages of Succulent Wild Woman. This is a book to help women be their most profound and unique selves. Sark will challenge, shock, amuse and hug you with her words!!!!!

Mary , 05/07/97, This book is an honest friend to both women and men!
This book is like a best friend, holding my hand into the next transition of my life. Sark is a gentle and insightful author who offers hope and inspiration, making the ordinary extraordinary. This book is both nutritious and delicious.

NJT, 05/01/97, A really FUN book for women of all ages!
If you'd like to be more creative and have more fun in life, this book will take you by the hand, like your very best friend, and show you the way. I began reading it, and even before I was finished I bought a copy for my mother and a copy for my daughter!
