Y’all!
I know I’ve been talking about the author of Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper a lot lately – SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy)- but I just had to let you know. This author has what she calls an “Inspiration Line,” a phone number where you can call and be inspired by something that she says.
I was flipping through the book and there it was on page 87 under one of her writing prompts. The number is 415-546-3742, if you want to call it. That’s a San Francisco number; whatever your rates are to call will apply.
It seems as if SARK changes the message monthly. Currently, it’s 3 minute 10 seconds which includes
- An intro to who is SARK
- Then a recitation of a poem by John Donahue called “For a New Beginning.”
- She then wishes us all well.
I really love the last bit of Donahue’s poem:
Awaken your spirit to adventure
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
I’m speechless! What a lovely poem. And what a lovely thing for SARK to do for people who need a quick mental pick-me-up. She’s using every medium possible to be of use to people. I would never have thought of using a phone line for my business or personal development outreach.
Have you ever called the Inspiration Line? What did you think?
Sincerely,
Deborah
I started phoning the inspiration line in the early 2000s as I recall, after I read about it in one of her books as well. She offered rays of hope through some dark times in my life, and I phoned every couple of weeks to make sure I wasn’t missing any of the recordings!
A coworker mentioned SARK out of the blue today, and I don’t think I had thought of her for 15 years! I had to see if the inspiration line still existed, and lo and behold, it sure does!
Thank you for the post!!
