Extreme Changes.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to completely rethink my blog. I’ve spent so long trying to be someone else. On this blog paticularly, I’ve been trying to be just like Princess Skye. She’s beautiful and wonderful, yes that is true, but she is not me. She is someone I cannot be. I’m going to delete many of my past posts and redo the page almost from the ground up. I’ll still be a Princess of course, as I always will, but this time I’ll do it my way. This blog will be all me. 100% Princess Raelynn.
–Edit–
There is too much to change, because there is verly little of myself here. As new site is needed!

Desole.
I am so very terribly sorry for my very extended absence. My life has been a bit hectic and I have not felt very Princessy. I plan to return soon, but first I must get settled into a new semester at school and find a way to enjoy the natural magic of the world again. Please excuse me for this period. I’ll return as soon as all is clear again.
With much love,
Raelynn

On Journaling
The topic I’d like to discuss today is something I do every day. Journaling. I don’t specifically write about my day or anything of that sort, but I write whatever I feel the need to write down. My “Field Journal” is a small notebook I carry with me everywhere. There’s nothing special about it, it’s just a green notebook with a ribbon page marker. Each day, or time I write, I put the date and whatever I needed to write. Sometimes I write small things that come to mind, lyric ideas, shopping and to-do lists, my work schedule, and sometimes my homework assignments. It’s more helpful to me then my own agenda book. My other Journal I seldom call a journal, but instead call it my world. It’s a notebook, same as my “Field Journal” but pink. Inside it I write letters to the people of my own little world. Below I have some ideas on how you, too, can start both of these types of journals.
A Field Journal:
- Journal. This is the obvious first step. Choose a notebook you can easily carry with you most or all of the time. I don’t suggest one too big, or too small for that matter.
- Pen. Next, of course, you need a writing utensil. I’d suggest a pen since pencil smears. I personally like to use coloured ball-point pens. I think they just make writing more fun.
- Content. Finally, what to write? Write whatever you’d like. Work Schedule? Homework assignments? To-do lists? Maybe you’re a poet, song writer, short stories? Write down your ideas or verses. Important dates. Maybe gift ideas. Clothing or jewlery designs? Whatever you love to do and want to write down, go for it!
- Writing. Write whenever you feel the need to. Whenever an idea pops to mind. Whenever you have something to remember or something to say. Write. Write. Write.
A World:
–this is tons of fun. You can make it whatever you want it to be!–
- Journal. Once again choose a notebook. Keep in mind where you want to keep it. Will it stay at your bedside? Will you carry it with you?
- Pen. Repeat of above.
- Name. Make up a name for your special world or place. Mine is Ile de la Lune, french for Island of the Moon. This should be something that reflects who you are.
- Map. Maybe you want to draw out a map. If not, maybe you can write out a list at the beginning of key points in your world. I have a mountain range, a lagoon, and forst. I also have my palace and the main village. Be creative with the names and places.
- Writing. When I write, I write about my day or about my life and thoughts. I write as if I’m writing to my people. Pretend what you write will be posted in the town square, and all of the citizens of your world hang on your every word.
Well, this concludes my lesson on journaling. Now I’m going to go write to my people and complete my to-do lists.
Merry Part.

All do know
All in the house do know it’s winter when I put away my summer clothes. Clean out my closet and put it all into storage bens. My favorite sun dress. The shirt I never got to wear. The one I wore to my first Harry Potter premier. The one I bought to impress a long lost love. Swim suits on this side, sandles on the other. All these are for days long gone, and those yet to come. While I dread this time, I also await its arrival. Out with the summer in with the winter. Long sleeve tees and jogging suits. The shirt I wore the Christmas my sister was gone. The sweatshirt I never returned to my dear friend. Special thick stockings. The burgundy sweater I cannot wait to wear. Oh, all in the house do know, winter days are here!
- – - -
I would have photos, but sadly I’ve broken my camera. Hopefully I’ll get a new one soon, until then, I’m not sure what I’ll have to do.

Terribly Sorry Dearies!
It’s been a bit since I’ve last posted. There’s been a lot going on around here. I was almost an unemployed princess because of school stress, but all it working out better now, so hopefully I’ll be able to post more regularly. Just for a quick preview, I’m going to make a list of a few post I plan to make, eventually…
“On Journaling”
“European Herritage”- About my trip and the oppertunities I will have,
“Think Global. Act Local.” – About what it is to be a global citizen.
“Me, My Elf, and I” – a Book Review.
Just a fast take of things you get to look foward to now.

Une Journée Magique
As I promised, I have photos from the collaboration Hannah and I did. She prefers to be out of the editing process, so I’ve edited them and created a title. I chose to title this “Une Journée Magique.” It means “A Magical Day” and that it was. We has a wonderful time and I believe that many of the photos, especially Hannah’s beautiul facial expressions, have an aura of magic. Here are a few of my favorite photos and the entire collection can be found here.
*Note* Not all the photos are uploaded yet, I will be sure to post when they are completely finished.

My Apologies
It has been a dreadfully long time since I last posted. My life has been a little bit chaotic. I have many people living in the palace with me, thus it’s difficult to get everything done. Also, adding to the chaos, the weather has taken a sudden change. It’s now seeming to have skipped autumn and is suddenly winter. Strange as it is, cooler weather actually makes me more creative, so you may be seeing some of my craft projects.
- – - – - – - – - -
Soon, hopefully, I’ll be able to post the link, and a few samples, of a collaboration the beautiful Princess Hannah and I did several weeks ago. Hannah is an amazing photographer and a beautiful model.

Fianlly, taking a bit of inspiration from Princess Skye, again, I’m going to make my own line of jewlery, and maybe later, clothes. It will be called “Belle La Vie.” It is french for “Beautiful Life.” I haven’t any example photos yet, but soon I will.
Also, be sure to check out my Youtube videos. http://youtube.com/chairfiles.

Kindness
Today’s lesson, I assumed everyone knew, but people I met today seemed not to know how to accept or give it. So here’s a lesson to all who don’t know.
Kindness is divided into two different parts. One is giving it and the other is accepting it. Somethimes the latter is more difficult.
Here a few simple ways to be kind to everyone you meet.
Smile. Sometimes that’s all it takes to turn someone’s day around. Make eye contact and give a small, sweet smile.
Say Thank you. If someone opens a door for you, thank them. Let them know that you appreciate the gesture. It’s only the nice thing to do. If someone smiles at you, smile back.
Compliment. If you see someone who looks particularly sad, compliment their outfit. It always makes someone feel nice to know that someone likes what they wear. Maybe they have nice hair or eyes, point them out.
Donate. Here in the US, during the holiday season, you see red buckets hanging outside stores. Go up and give change. Lets admit it, few people use change. It only piles up in our purses or pockets. Drop a few coins in the bucket to help those less fortunate.
Volunteer. Maybe you want to stand by the Red Buckets and ring the bell. Maybe you can help at an animal or homeless shelter. Volunteering is helping others in a direct way. They’re thankful for it and it’ll make you feel good.
Help. If you see a woman struggling with a baby and trying to a heavy box, offer to help. Now let me tell you this with caution. Don’t put yourself in danger by carrying it into their house, but you can help them in a public place. Maybe an old woman at the grocery store is trying to get something from the bottom shelf. Get the item for her and remember to smile!
Those are just a few things. Please comment with some things you do to be kind everyday.

Love Lost?
Recently I’ve been thinking about love. Not simple love, like the love of fairy tales or the love of tea, but complexed love involving two people. The words that follow, may not make sense. They’re simply the ramblings of a lost romantic.
Love is a process. It begins with a crush which leads to passion, but passion cannot last forever. When this passion dies, does the love die as well? Does love ever truely die? Is it possible, that passion simply gives way to another deeper form of careing?
How can anyone ever know? What if you choose someone during the time of passion, but it never gives way to deeper careing? When the passion dies we get confused. We see flaws in our chosen one, and it may seem others have less, or none at all. We try to think of what our chosen one does to make us happy, and what they don’t do. “He tells me he loves me. But he’s never shown it well.” “He knows I love flowers, yet I only get them if I give them to myself.” It’s far too confusing for one to comprehend, but we feel we must.
We begin to ask, “What if..” What if I ignore the one I’m meant to be with because I’m with this other person? What if he isn’t who I think? He doesn’t seem to be who he once was, what if he never was who I thought? What if I don’t really feel as I think I do?
The one we’ve been with may know everything about us and we may be able to tell them everything, but maybe they don’t do the simple things we want. Everyone says they want a man who they can cry to, who can make them laugh, and who they can tell everything, but that’s a lie. They want to feel appreciated, and they never want the courting to end. Courting never should end.
A women, wife or long term girl-friend, may be happy most of the time with talking and shareing things, but she still wants to feel like you’re scared to loose her. She still wants, even years after the courting has ended, for you to try to impress her. She wants surprise flowers and stumbling words. She wants you to pick her up and take her to dinner, take her to a movie, the ice cream parlor, any thing. She still wants little notesletting her know you were thinking of her.
Can love be lost, if it was truely love? Or if it is lost, was it love at all?
