Nothing But The Whole Truth

The word truth holds so many meanings. When we hear it, right away, most of us think about telling the truth. We may remember some loving adult reminding us of the boy who cried wolf or the girl who told her mother she was meeting her best girlfriend when she was meeting a guy. This would be the guy her Mama and Daddy wouldn’t like at all. No. Not. At. All. Truth is also associated with integrity, authenticity, character, and purpose. One of my favorite Osho quotes says, “Th

Trees Ain't Scared

I know you read that title and said Dr. Sandra has gone completely woo woo! She has joined the tree huggers cult and this is her goodbye letter. Naw. That’s not it. Listen. Hear me out. You know that I love studying ancient wisdom. Well, a common theme is that we learn from nature. I mean the ancients of Kemet (now called Egypt) created a whole language system with concepts based upon natural observations. That’s the same scientific method that I teach my introductory psychol

Absolute Perfection Is Closer Than You Think

Psychology, my field of study, is considered a science. Basically, that means that psychology has theories that can be put to an objective test. One of the most well known theoretical perspectives is Humanistic Psychology made famous by people like Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow. They believed in ideas like unconditional positive regard and self-actualization. What? I know these are words that we don’t often use in our daily conversations so here goes. Rogers believed in trea

Here’s What Love Has To Do With It

I have an aunt who makes special calls to me on my birthday and every holiday. I don’t mean just the big family holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving. She calls on Memorial Day, Labor Day and even Independence Day. We talk for a while. We catch up and share our plans. And she ends every call the same way, “Love you”. And every time, without fail, I feel nothing but good and love. It’s the sincerity in her voice that touches my heart. She speaks right from her heart to mine.

What's Your Story?

You’ve probably heard people say, “I didn’t know I was poor until….” In the majority of cases, the person making this statement has reached a level of success that’s not usually associated with being poor. As the people continue to share their life experience, it becomes evident that they were telling themselves a different story. So, even though by some economic standard their finances were scarce, they were not bound by scarcity consciousness. That is, the stories they were

Turn Doubt Inside Out

Each year I look forward to celebrating my birthday. My Taoist teacher helped me expand my practice of honoring the day that I entered the world. He encourages us to use the energy of our birthday as a catalyst to move our personal development forward. So many traditions honor the power of our birthday. Many African traditions say it marks the moment our spirit chose to come from the ancestral realm into the physical world. Astrologers talk about the Sun returning to the plac

The Road From An Ordinary to An Extraordinary Life

As a child, I knew that I wanted to work with children, to listen to their troubles, to nurture their dreams, to be a catalyst for their greatness. I think this desire came pre-installed but my Mama reinforced it. She made it her business to help us avoid the mistakes that she believed she’d made. It was clear to me that the generations that follow yours should live an immensely better life. And they should explore the breadth of human potential in ways that build on their pr

Get More Bang For Your Buck

I usually associate the phrase get more bank for your buck with financial investments in commodities or mutual funds or bulk purchases at places like Costco and BJ’s. You invest in a product in the stock market. If it does well, you get extra income. You buy larger quantities of merchandise so you can pay less for the product. You may need a little more storage space but you can get a quality product that lasts a longer time. But I think one of the best ways to get bang for o

I think it’s safe to say that my secret is out. I believe in the power of YOU. Each person has a unique purpose, some special sauce, a magical power that they alone possess. And if that’s not magnificent enough, add this to it – The whole world needs your magical, special sauce power. That’s the TRUTH!

We're Not There Yet

"Pour libation for your father and mother who rest in the valley of the dead. God will witness your action and accept it. Do this even when you are away from home. For as you do for your parents, your children will do for you." This quote from ancient African (Kemetic/Egyptian) sacred texts is my offering to honor the lives of those who were murdered in Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday, June 17, 2015.

Say Her Name

I teach a course called, The Black Woman. Don’t be misled by the title. I’m under no illusion that there is a single, solitary being called the Black woman. Rather, I’m a Spelman graduate who was blessed to sit at the feet of Toni Cade Bambara, author of the 1970 anthology of the same name, The Black Woman. I was mentored and nurtured by her and many other women who believed in a Black woman’s story. Women who believed that a Black woman’s story could change the world. Women

It's Good To Be You

Early in life, I came to know and understand my life purpose is to be a helper, healer. In fact, in Greek, my name Sandra means helper of mankind. If we go further back in time to ancient Africa/Egypt, my name means child or noble of Ra, the light & power of God to manifest. The Dagara of west Africa would very likely say that my mother clearly heard my spirit’s calling and chose the right name for me. It’s a blessing when you name is a reminder of who you are, your life purp

The Super Powers Of The Moon People

There are so many mysteries, facts, stories, and phenomena associated with the Moon. These ideas reflect both scientific knowledge and spiritual beliefs. For example, when listening to weather reports, meteorologists often talk about the Moon’s relationship to the intensity of an impending storm. During hurricane season, they warn that tides are expected to be higher so people should move inland. Or during winter they forecast blizzard conditions with record setting amounts o

More Harmony & Justice For All

Mmmmm. Mmmmm. You’ve probably made that sound when you ate something that was really, really good to you. It’s very likely that you just couldn’t help yourself. The sound arose and emitted itself without your express permission. It was so honest and true that there was no need to put a harness on it. Just let it rip. Slow and easy or hard and fast. No matter the speed. It was pure, unadulterated good. Mmmm. Yaaaassss. You’ve very likely had that same feeling on the dance floo

About That Life You Crave

So, what about that life you’re craving? That perfect life with fewer bumps and bruises and more good stuff. Suppose it showed up right now. What would you have? More money? More time? More help? More love? A bigger home? A vacation home? Better health? A smaller waist? Peace of mind? Freedom? Joy? Wait. I think we might be making progress. The things we crave lead us to our deepest desires.

Which Way Out Of This Rut?

Life's vicissitudes sometimes leave us reeling and wondering whether or not to get up and go forward again. It can seem as though we keep falling, coming back to the same spot, the same emotional trap, the same relationship mistake. So, we begin to question, "Is it worth it to move forward again?" Sometimes, the painful places are so familiar; we prefer to stay there. After all we've developed tremendous skill at negotiating our pain. So much so that hopefulness arouses fear

We Are The Light Of The World

People often ask me, “How can someone find their life purpose”? Or “How do you know what your purpose is”? Within a split second, I’m usually flooded with a colorful assortment of ideas for self-exploration. Simultaneously, I'm swaddled in a deep feeling of joy because everyone has some good that only they brought to the world. Sometimes I hear Teddy Pendergrass singing, “You can’t hide from yourself. Everywhere you go there you are”. Other times, I imagine Fannie Lou Hamer

We are approaching the bounds of the annual celebration of Black history and heritage so thoughts about Black people’s contributions to American, world and human history will begin to fade for many people. However, I’m reflecting on the meaning of Black history and heritage for all people, everywhere. I recently read the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture blog post, “The Origins of Black History Month”. It offers a quote from Dr. Carter G. W

Is your calendar so full that you can’t even see a little space between events? Or maybe events overlap because you’re trying to do a little bit of everything. You know.

Unfortunately, sometimes, we feel this way about our lives. Full. But not satisfied. Here are some ideas to help you get that uuuummm
