Some days I feel I have all the energy to do anything, and other days, I would like to curl up by the fireside with a glass of mulled wine.
I have met some new and interesting people lately, which is always a good thing. I am quite pleased to make their acquaintance.
There are some people I need to get in touch with - I have been remiss a bit. Possibly too many of those days by the fireside.

Relationship Note on Ida
Dame Ida Ferron mentioned something recently that I must touch on.
She mentioned that she was struggling with creativity and yet she delivered a weapon to me that has embodied my entire adulthood. Its name reflects my future, but its make marks my past. Goldenshade is a magnificent weapon and proof indeed that Dame Ida has not lost her touch for originality nor her talent for exceptionalism.
Thank you, Dame Ida. Thank you for your time and your willingness to work through struggles. As promised, I will not let this weapon dishonor you.

Ardent, a most beautiful alaricite and dragonweep-decorated cane in memory of Josephine Arcuri, has been crafted. It will be a most fitting prize for the Tournament of Thorns pre-games, and a most fitting tribute to her memory. Strong and beautiful.

So many see black and white in this world. I tend towards the shads of gray. For example, House Aetheris. Some of the information I found they are protectors of humanity. Righters of right. Fight the good fight. Other information says they are one step above speaking to Oblivion. See, gray. I, for one, am trying to understand more gray. Wouldn't mind speaking to House Aetheris about the subject. Or anyone else for that matter.

Too much work, I think. After years of planning every small move I made, calculating how it would help me get what was mine, inching up and grooming my appearance and public persona, building credibility --
Work, work, all of it work, all of it always trying to make something happen. Before I knew it, I found myself well over my head. To the point I didn't recognize that I was drowning. That I was burying my frustrations in easy ways out, tying myself down to not have to think about things. And then, when I had everything I wanted, it's not really a surprise that things around me started breaking, is it?
Frustrations kept secret. Resentments held in because it was more useful to keep them quiet. Times I held back my tongue.
Trying to act like the fucking Radiant instead of remembering that I define what that office is, now, by my very presence in it.
I needed some time away. I tried coming back a few times already, but I tried to do too much, too quickly.
Three Voices should help.
I'm going to just focus on being me for a while, I think. The Compact is doing just fine.

A special project has come to fruition, in cooperation with the very talented Mailys Corsetina. A set of jewelry will soon come up to be auctioned out in an open auction, for the benefit of the Liberators. A very SPECIAL set. Mailys has done these designs justice.
I know she will be proud.

Warmth in the midst of autumn's chill,
Are you, my dear, giant bear.
(I wish I could write better poetry than this, and I shall try, on my own.
My mind, as yet, halts in the sudden emotion. How silly of me, when I can look into mirrors for days on end, and find truth so easily.)

Relationship Note on Ailith
I went to the Renewal Ceremony...
It was lovely. The story was wonderful, very moving.
I cried.
Clearly, this pregnancy thing has turned me into an emotional woman. One moment, happy. Next moment, crying at such a well told, fantastic story.
Ugh.
Still, it was a lovely ceremony and I'm glad I went.
Seraph Ailith did a fantastic job.

I was contacted by Lord Richard. Really tall man, and polite too. He was reading my white journals, good that someone really had an interest in this notes. He made an offer to join the Physicians guild, as a permit to act as a medic and access to resources and knowledges of the guild.
While there is no apparent duty I must oblige myself, I would like to act proactively to take the better from this opportunity.
Later on letters traded with Rowenova, she called me to help with one request of Lady Juliana... I just need to check what will this be.

Leaders must always set the highest standard. When we of the nobility read the White Journal of an aggrieved commoner, or speak with one in the streets, and come away befuddled or dismissive of their reasons, it would behoove us to stop and reflect upon that. Some people may aspire to be like those men and women who have become known for their heaps of coin and their freedom from trouble and pain, but I think we should instead look to those who shun luxury and ease. Once entrusted with power of any kind, we should worker harder than ever, not less.

I finally got to meet him. I am overjoyed. I am just so excited. We agree on so many things right now and everything is wonderful. He has the best dog. He will get excited about Limerance with me. He's a happy guy.

Relationship Note on Reigna
I'm sure I've written this before, and I guess I'm going to write it again now: I have struggled with my creativity lately. The stories don't come as easily as they used to, and the ones that do, don't feel as deep as before. I've started to wonder if my best work is all behind me. It's a scary thought, can't lie. I shared these concerns with Marquessa Reigna, when a commission was mentioned, and her advice was pretty profound in it's deceiving simplicity: do something different. Wildly create something in a new or different way. And with those words in mind, I managed to forge a sword that is all warm hues and echoes of the forest. The theme wasn't one I came up with, but looking at it differently and trying to work in hints of pale gold - which I haven't done before with these particular shades - created something I was proud to put my mark on.

I'm becoming an admirer of coffee. Time and again spent inside the Bold Expressions, by the fire with a warm drink. The season may not be the kindest time for it, but it still reminds me of home now and again. Life is going alright. I've been shown opportunity by my peers in the Whisper house, the mercantile work comes steadily. For the first time in awhile, I'm feeling quite content.

While these sound like contradictory statements, I'm finding the change agrees with me, all in all.
