I don't mean happiness at the expense of others, but I also don't mean trying to be happy while making everyone else happy.

In my experience, true happiness comes from following the vision that we're all given by Spirit. The "not easy" part is being open enough to see and hear what that vision IS. It can get so confusing for me with all the narrative in my head telling me I need to do and be a thousand other things. To hear the voice, for real, I must get very very QUIET. How? Meditation, of course.

I have a new book coming....really. And in it I write about how I've moved to a happier life, and how maybe, just maybe, that would work for you too. Stay tuned. The book designer is busily creating cover art and making the writing pretty and readable. Hoping to be complete by Summer Solstice.(less)
Kypris Aster Drake I get my body moving. I walk, bike, hike, or do yoga. If that doesn't work I go on an "artist date" a la Julia Cameron. And barring that, I pray. :)…moreI get my body moving.

Self Marriage

From Journey to Sexual Wholeness by Kypris Aster Drake

After years of marriage to others, therapy, and spiritual practice, it became clear to me that I needed a commitment to love myself above all others. This was so hard for me, because it seemed a very selfish thing to do. I had been taught that it was noble and spiritual to sacrifice my needs for the needs of others.

Kypris Drake is 30% done with The Halcyon Fairy Book: I'm only about a third of the way through but already this book is making me laugh out loud over and over again. If you need some good humor medicine, you're gonna love this book. I'll post for when I finish.

Without spoiling it for those who have not read the book... I just want to say what a powerful exploration this is of indigenous women and the strength that was needed to survive during the 19th and 20th centuries, and even into the present.

The beginning of this tale is nothing less than masterful. I love an opening to a book that is something of a mystery and leaves you guessing. This is a genuine heroine’s journey, with lot of twists and turns and dark imagery, yet filled with a deep ...more

So not an evil Stepmother in this fairy tale but an evil MOTHER. More in keeping with how some of the original Grimm’s stories were told, but then sanitized because the idea of your actual Mom being evil was…well super scary.
