Who Really Keeps New Year’s Resolutions?
New Year's resolutions.Every year I make them and every year I break them. So what about 2020's Resolutions?
Challenging The New Year
As I do most every year at this time I reflect on the last year. I encourage you to do the same for your SCA life.
Consider both things that went well for you and things that did not. Make next year's plan to grow in the hobby you love.
Transforming Calontir Scribes
M. Aidan as the new KMOAS at Kingdom Arts and Sciences event. If you went to the recent Calontir Arts and Sciences event you saw Aidan kennara Corcrinn become our new Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences (KMOAS). What you didn’t see there is what a fast worker she is. Already M. Aidan is reorganizing all things scribal for the Kingdom.

The Falcon Signet also assists Their Majesties as needed. While most incoming Monarchs know what persona style awards they want, some need assistance finding the person to do the job or to design them. The Falcon Signet helps Their Highnesses find the right person for the Royal […]
That New Year’s Eve Thing
New Year’s Eve is here and where do you go in 2018? Pour a glass of your favorite taste. Think about what you did well or not. Set a few goals or make resolutions. I’ve been blogging about things scribal and the SCA for two years. With this being New Year’s Eve I thought it a good time to examine the […]
New Years, New Opportunities
I had this wonderful blog post written and edited about new opportunities for 2017. It was truly amazing. As I reread it before publishing, I did something that deleted it. Poof…Gone. I’m sure it was Titivillus again. It figures, 2016 was a tough year for many. In my family, too. Why not end it with another S.N.A.F.U.? Instead, I choose […]
