Succulent Wild Woman
by Sark

Book Description/Reviews:
"Succulent, Wild Women"--- is about learning to be a wonder-full woman who is not afraid of life. Sark defines "succulent" with these words: ripe, juicy, whole, round, exuberant, wild, rich, wide, deep, firm, rare, female. All women, including Filipinas, have been raised up to be quiet and demure...keep your legs closed and your thoughts to yourself....etc, etc. Little do we realize that some of these tenets of mahinhin-ness have suppressed our full expression of who we are and have prevented us from pursuing our dreams. We need to discover for ourselves how we can live life to the fullest. The book I choose to share with you is fun, wild, inspirational, definitely different and it can give you ideas on how you, too, can start to find out more about your full-est self. The concepts that Sark gives in her books, starting with "Succulent Wild Woman" are that women need to live life to the utmost and that they need to love themselves so that they can love others, too. Here are some of Sark's ideas that can lead you, too, to be your fabulous self: ...Marry yourself first...promise to never leave you... ...discover your own goodness ...dress to please yourself ...you are enough, you have enough, you do enough ...make more mistakes! ...end blaming and more stuff like facing fears, healing, fat, money and power, community, love and romance... look it up and/or buy it at this link: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/068483376X/newfilipina This link also has sample pages from the book and you can see for yourself what I am talking about. You can also visit Sark's works and ideas at: http://campsark.com/ This is a fun, colorful, beautiful, inspiring, outrageous, entertaining, succulent web site for women and also for the incredible men who love fabulous, wild, succulent women. I urge all of you Filipinas to find your fabulous, succulent, bodacious selves.... to express yourselves....to find as much support you can get from friends, loved-ones and books like Sark's and all other great books.... and to get out there and live a life full of love---the romantic kind is only part of this... the Universal kind is what you learn to be embraced by when you are your full-est most succulent self! Remember---you are fabulous. So go out there and find yourselves!

A Woman's Worth
by Marianne Williamson

Book Description/Reviews:
With A WOMAN'S WORTH, Marianne Williamson turns her charismatic voice--and the same empowering, spiritually enlightening wisdom that energized her landmark work, A RETURN TO LOVE-- to exploring the crucial role of women in the world today. Drawing deeply and candidly on her own experiences, the author illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a male-dominated systems and societies.
Although some readers may have to adjust to MW's personal and esoteric viewpoints in the book with her references to daddy-pleasing-angst or to witches, priestesses and goddesses, she does propose for us strong sensibilities on how modern females today can think and act from the heart of a woman in order to rise to the task of being women today who create better relationships, families, communities, businesses and a better world.
