Many Blessings: A Tapestry of Accomplished African American Women by Sonnee Weedn, Ph.D. Ten years ago, Marin County psychologist, Dr. Sonnee Weedn, was asked to treat a young, urban, African American woman. Believing that as a white woman living in the reality of de facto segregation, she was not knowledgeable enough to treat this woman in psychotherapy, she set about to learn more about African American culture. This stimulated her thinking about African American women. What was it that allowed them to survive and thrive despite the double prejudice of racism and sexism. She wondered about the historical implications of the confluence of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Movement on this particular cohort of women, most who had come of age during law-enforced segregation. She traveled the country for three years, interviewing many African American women, some famous and others unknown except in their own particular circles of influence. She studied these women to determine what encouraged them to transcend discrimination and other obstacles they faced in order to rise up and claim their destinies as powerful and altruistic women. Ultimately, she chose thirty-one of the women she interviewed to represent the seven strengths she identified as having sustained them and allowed them to flourish. She believes that these seven strengths are the historical legacy of all African American women today, and encourages all women, regardless of ethnicity to learn from their example to increase their own resilience and determination.

This book is about the spiritual journey of an enthusiastic Physical Education student. It spans 26 years of intensive Yoga studies with Swami Kamala Mata Aranya, an English woman who had met her own spiritual Master when she was only five years old in India. Esoteric wisdom from the Vedas culminated in her initiation into the "silent" and ancient Aranya Order in 1995. Swami Chitinanda was driven by her thirst for knowledge of the Divine. Her story began in childhood in the Huon Valley, Tasmania. The spiritual quest took her to the ashram in the north of the state to Somerset, Burnie. Swami Chitinanda experienced ashram life, often getting herself into trouble as she longed to "become an authentic version of her Self".

Much Blessings These poems that I share with you came from the depths of my experience and inner spirit. My reliable pen, which is always at my side, easily flowed across the paper as I poured my heart out with each word. I have opened my up my heart and life to be a witness to my Lord and Savior. I hope these words inspire you to walk in the light. Put your faith in God and let Him take you by the hand and lead you to the light of all truth. May your spirit be receptive to the writings on these pages with an understanding of how our Lord and Savior touched my life, and how he will do the same for you.
