More death. What I hate about death is that it sparks memories of past times.
Happier times. Horrible times. Loves. Losses. Hopes born. Dreams that died. Deepest joy and terrible hurts. They all rise in your head. It makes current sorrows that much more bitter and hard to take.
I want to believe that it is not all sorrow and loss in this life. That good things do and will happen. That love and hope always finds a way. That we can overcome all that is awful if we just keep trying. That giving up and laying down to loss and heartbreak is not an option.
It's just a little hard right now to believe that this is so right now.
Keep faith if you can.

Despite all, for once in my life, I am strangely at peace with things.
I suspect it is unlikely that it will last long, but for this moment it is a beautiful and strange thing to walk in such grace.
I am grateful.

Relationship Note on Jasher
Are you suggesting I got his goat, my dearest Prince Jasher? Or are you trying to pull the fleece over my eyes and spin this into an effort to shepherd yet more goat and sheep puns from my lips? I adore you, but if this is so, what a card, you are.
Though to be true, I apologize if ewe think I was milking this. It's just that sometimes I find I have an acc-ewe-mulation of puns that cannot be denied.
However, I do not want to have anyone bent out of sheep or to cause a ca-lamb-ity.
And so baa-latedly, my apologies.

Relationship Note on Victus
*** Written in a neat script not dissimilar to Valencia's own handwriting... ***
I have decided to try dictation as many others do in their writing in the white journals and have asked my lovely lady in waiting, Mistress Lizette, to assist.
With that in mind, I recently herd that his highness, Prince Victus, mentioned that if he saw a goat in his house t he would be having lamb for dinner.
All I can think is that the prince must be kidding. Sheerly, ewe would not do such a thing, your Highness. Not that I wish to ram my opinions down your throat, for that would be rather rude and unnecessary, however it would behoove me to not mention that such a yarn wool be impossible, if I understood the implication of your statement.
Did I say something baaad? What's so funny, Mistress Lizette?

Relationship Note on Lucita
Friendship to me should not be fleeting or fair-weathered. It is a treasure. Something to be cultivated, protected and held dear. A true gift.
I will always try to be an enduring and loving good friend. But even so, there are some in my life who make doing so very effortless.
Time whether together or apart does not determine the depth of meaning or importance of a friendship. Effort, true caring, trust and loyalty does.
I thank you for that gift.

A thought on hope….
Hope is truly a funny thing. We never truly know how important it is until it is gone from our lives. And yet, it is one of the most powerful things we have.
Hope can get us through the worst of times, nurture our dreams and lift our spirits. It protects us from being drowned by misfortune or uncertain circumstances. It keeps us strong when we need it most and helps us keep rising, thinking, dreaming and moving forward against all odds. It is the light that we need to keep trying just a little more. Without it, we are empty.
To give hope is the greatest gift one can offer. It is a gift of new life, purpose and drive. An expectation and desire for a certain things to happen. A chance for better things and a better future. This is a magic more powerful than we often realize.
There are times that this is not always easy to do, but do it we must. Because, in the end, it may be all that we have to see us through.

I hate that so many suffer right now. It breaks my heart that this is so. Nothing is worse than heartbreak and lost love.
Those who know me know that I am vocal about my feelings on politics, love and marriage. And, as such, I find the recent the discussions and publicly aired laments on marriage (and the recent increase in the number of apparent divorces) to be an interesting development in our social and political landscape.
I was under the impression that most felt that political marriages were a duty to be stood by due to the importance they hold for the Houses that are represented. We are charged with putting our marriages first and into the best light in public. We are expected to profess love for a spouse we are entering into a "political" marriage to show solidarity and strength behind the match.
Indeed, I have been told many times that one marries for your House and not yourself. Marrying for love or any other inconsequential things like that is considered by some to be selfish and disloyal to your House and its peoples.
I was also taught that one should honour contracts and remain in such arrangements for the good of your Houses, because in such matters your personal feelings mean nothing. In these arrangements, you marry the House not your spouse, in simplest of terms.
To fully consider this trend of breaking of contracts due to unhappy unions, one may well wish to question which marriages are ending in divorce. Certainly, if past practice is to be believed, I would think not the political ones. Surely those tied under such would never be so selfish as to divorce and break a contract made by their house over a matter as trivial love and personal feelings, would they?
I say much of this with tongue in cheek. However, with things as they are, perhaps now is a fine time to examine the practice of using political marriage to solidify alliances. It cannot hurt to examine the practice, yes?
And, for those who are in turmoil and dealing with heartbreak in your life, my heart goes out to you. I would not wish this for you. I hope that you do not give up and find love once more in the hearts that you held dear. For your sake and for the sake of those who care for you.

There are times when the wonder of the world strikes me with such awe. Such breath-taking beauty and brilliance and such devastation and ugliness that it stops heart.
But sometimes it is the simple things that touch me most deep and I cannot help but catch my breath at it.
The way the sun kisses the snow just right way and the world explodes into thousands of tiny drifting diamonds. A moment of unexpected kindness that brings great joy to another. A little look or the gentle touch of someone who holds heart. Or the simple knowledge that for some unfathomable reason one is treasured and cared for above all else.
I am grateful for these things. Large and small. Gifts one and all.
I hope to experience so many more before it is my time to leave.

I am often overwhelmed and humbled by the good people of our realm. The honour and generosity. The bravery and selflessness. The passion and the light they bring.
It was so very heartening to see so many beautiful faces come to my Hart’s Soldiers’ Salute. So many came to raise spirits and celebrate those who rise to defend our realm. To remind them that we care and, though we cannot be with them in the battle to come, we are still at their side and support them with all that we have.
Together we shared a beautiful night and offered our deepest respect, gratitude, pride and love, so that they may carry this with them in the hard times to come and home again.
The darkness we face is relentless. The battles that are fought are never easy or pretty. The dangers are very real. And so, with each step we take to meet the darkness and move closer to the light, it is important that we show our support and gratitude for all that they do. For bravely protecting those who cannot protect themselves. For being an inspiration to us all.
Equally so, it is vital for all of us to remember what we are fighting for and to continue raise spirits and hope among all the peoples who live in our realm -– common folk, Shav'arni and nobles alike. All of us. For it is this spirit and hope that will see us through the darkest times.
And so, to light, luck and love. To our fighters and those that support them. To hope! To victory! And many more sweet nights together in better times!

I have been considering the subject of betting House weapons.
The sword of a household is not the personal blade of the bearer. It is the House's weapon. It does not belong the an individual who happens to wield it. It cannot be given away by them or offered in payment. I am surprised more do not realize the this is not just some trinket owned by one person. It is owned by a house in full.
I could no more bet the contents of your purse or your horse and hound and expect you to honour MY debt. It simply is not mine or anyone's to bet or offer. It is ludicrous to think to think of even accepting such a bet when it so very clearly does not belong to someone who bears it.
It is disappointing to not have bets honoured? Yes. Is the behavior unbecoming and shameful? Absolutely. It is unbecoming behavior to think one could bet something of this nature could be bet in the first place and then shout out about being owned something that was never yours?
However, the truth is, an object such as this was no one's to bet in the first place and cannot be therefore expected. It is the folly of accepting a bet on something that is no theirs to offer.
In such situations where one is rather dishonorable in such practice, I would humbly suggest that owner of the debt realize there was nothing on the table and that other compensation should be offered. Perhaps our courts of law might offer fair compensation.
As for the debtor and thief, let his or her house deal with their conduct. It is their right to punish as they see fit.

So many refer to themselves and others as creatures from woods, water and air. I myself have been named vixen or little fox by others, and I wear that name with pride. It is has become a name as natural as my own.
Over the years, it has been my great pleasure to shared company with a veritable menagerie -- wolves, bears of black, cinnamon brown and some snow white, foxes, hounds, dragons, griffons, cats, snakes, wildcats, hawks, minx, stags, bulls, old goats, crows, falcons, badgers, sharks, bunnies, martens, lions, little mice, vipers, songbirds and more. The list goes on and on.
I must admit that I enjoy this menagerie of personalities. Now, often when I meet someone I wonder what creature they are, or which resonates with them, and why.

Relationship Note on Geraint
Another I was fond of is now gone. I fear I lose more and more each day. I am told that is to be expected. That is the way of things. I confess I prefer it was not.
I had the pleasure of enjoying a some lovely evenings in the company of the Marquis Geraint. He seemed a kind man. A charming and clever man. One I enjoyed the company of and speaking with very much.
I am very much regret that I will never have the chance to speak with him again. I suppose that is the source of my sadness. It reminds me there are many who I am fond of and kept company with that I will one day never see again. I would have enjoyed to getting to know more about him I think.
Rest in peace and love, my lord. Thank you so very much. I wish we could have share more drinks and more conversation.

Last night when Captain Marcas inquired about daring drinks and Lady Amari suggested a drinking contest I did not know what would transpire.
Thank you to the very brave and very formidable Missere Captain Marcas Aodh, Lady Amari Keaton, Mistress Nijah and my dearest Archlector Vayne for tasting a very small number of my private collection of daring and rare drinks. Your ability to stand, mostly, after the contest is truly awe inspiring.
My thanks also to Master Draven Bruvir and Wolf Scout Rowenova, as well as my intrepid staff, Missere Master Barkeep Maggnuss, Mistress Lizette, Mistress Anna, Mistress Keiana and Mercy Roan, for their assistance during and after the contest. And to Master Ezekiel for playing his harp so beautifully.
It was a fun night and everyone lived. Thankfully.
I think I shall have to have more such events, and perhaps offer more samplings of the Hart's very special collections.

Things I have learned this week:
~ Some drinks are maybe best left unserved.
~ Good company can bring light to any darkness.
~ Some people are not who they say they promise to be. And, though it can be sometimes disappointing, it is likely a blessing in disguise to find.
~ Some people are not who you or others expect them to be. And that can be the most wonderful thing in the world to learn. Thank you for this.
~ Truly strong people can surprise you with strength you never thought possible.
~ Never underestimate the gifts of trust, friendship, freedom or being kind.
~ True grace and generosity is a gift that should be honoured.
~ I should have more parties and definitely private drinking gatherings.
~ Enduring the Last Sting does not mean it’s the last song of the night.
~ Your path may go in a way you do not expect, but that doesn’t mean you won’t reach where you are supposed to be.

Relationship Note on Shard
I disagree, Mistress Shard.
It was not that you won or lost, but that you graciously offered. It is as simple as that.
Even if your motives may have served something that you wanted, I suspect it was to serve a greater good, which does not detract from your generosity in any way.
I agree, there are many things that one should want more than money. And, I would would be very keen to speak further on the matter with you. Please consider this a most heartfelt invitation to join me in a drink and discussion.
Meanwhile, I will remain honoured and inspired by your generous offer.

I am so very grateful our Sip n'Spar fundraiser and raffle were both successes.
Thanks to the generosity of those who attended, tonight we were able to raise 505 economic writs for the cause!
I am also happy to announce the winner of our raffle winner was Lord Vicente Fidante, who won half the pot, a remarkable 505 economic writs!
Deepest thanks to all that joined us with special thanks to our participants: Whisper Gianna, Master Waldemai Isenhu, Whisper Calandra; Archlector Vayne, Lord Cadern Ravenseye, Sir Corban Telmar, Lord Vicente Fidante, Mistress Shard, Princess Marian Redrain, Violet Sandreef-Marjawn and Missere Aksel Nygard for their support.
And special thanks to Archlector Vayne (who could not attend, but sent his writs regardless); to Missere Aksel, Master Waldemai and Lord Vicente for bringing us to past our goal of 500 writs raised; and to Mistress Shard, who's kindness and selfless generosity inspires me so very much. That you would offer to donate your winnings to this cause, Mistress Shard, inspires me and makes me wish to work even harder to help others.
I am humbled to see such generosity in the face of such challenges. To be true, I am grateful that there are so many that seem to rally to support with such determination and incredible kindness.
Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart.
