I have spent much of my adult life trying to figure out how to experience holiness, and now I know that the struggle to figure things out is antithetical to the experience. You simply relax into holiness the way you would a warm bath.

"what if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?" "Guilty as Sin", prompt from @lyralit

Salt-laden tears only bring out the worst nuances; thousands of silences only allows an angel to screech like a banshee engulfed in divine flame. I only know the truth because I can hold a ripened pomegranate without watching seeds float in a muddled rain puddle; I only know sanctity, because I can scratch your back without wondering if you would crush a garden of bluebells for me. --Elda Mengisto

[Sanctity]

When I looked into your eyes

There was a girl I saw

She wasn’t shaped like me

She was holy, dainty and pure.

I wondered since then

Is that what you want me to be?

To shed my opinions before coming home,

To surrender to your sanctity?

‼️Hi besties!! Just another heads up; tomorrow's update, Chapter Twenty, will be the last update on the 7th for the next few months and Trouvaille will go on TEMPORARY HIATUS! ‼️

This is so I can get fresh eyes on future chapters of Trouvaille, work on Trouvaille drabbles, Hoseok's Trouvaille prequel, and Chapter One of Sanctity 💞 I predict Trouvaille will be back December/January, I'm still working on the timeline, however 🥰

I appreciate all of your love and support of Trouvaille, it means the world to me. I promise the story doesn't end tomorrow, so please don't worry my loves! And I won't leave you on a huge cliffhanger either 🤞🏻 Talk to you all tomorrow evening 💞💞

Finding Perfection in Everyday Duties

As a homeschooling mom of five with limited resources, life often feels overwhelming. But I've discovered a beautiful perspective on sanctity from Jean-Pierre de Caussade that makes the journey toward becoming our best selves much simpler.

In my latest article, I explore how sanctity isn't about grand gestures but about faithfully carrying out the duties appointed by God. Every task, responsibility, and interaction is an opportunity for spiritual growth.

🔹Everyday Sanctification: Transform your character through small acts of kindness, patience, and forgiveness.

🔹 Faithful Living in Action: Embrace each moment and duty with purpose.

🔹 Active and Passive Fidelity: Fulfill your duties actively and embrace challenges with love and acceptance.

🔹 God's Simplified Rules for Holiness: Understand that God's grace is for everyone, not just the saints.

🔹 Embracing Simple Duties: Find sanctity in the everyday rhythms of life.

🌿 Dive deeper into these insights and discover how you can find perfection in your everyday duties.

Join me on this journey of embracing simplicity and finding divine perfection in the ordinary moments of life.

New Sanctity post, new Sanctity lore...

--

Ulgetin is only a planet in the sense that it's large enough to hold an entire civilization on its surface. In practice, it is a turtle, with two heads, four flippers, and a shell with no underbelly. It orbits his star, the four flippers are timed over the course of decades.

Yes, Ulgetin does live on a geologic time scale, her limbs slowly drifting up and down. Fast enough that living on them is impossible, slow enough that the first calendars used his flippers as a way to tell time and year.

In fact, many of those systems are still used today; the location of all four flippers is useful for determining what the year is, and given that the they rotate consistently on the Eastern axis, it is easy to tell what day it is.

Upon Ulgetin is the Principality of Ibercori, once named for a prince, and after his execution, is now named due to its adherence to the Principles, a series of laws that have been revised and rewritten time and time again over the past two hundred years of rule.

It is currently at Revision 55.2, Errata 9. Revision 55, marking its 55 Major Revisions, .2 marking minor federal changes, and Errata 9, marking minor loophole closures.

The nation is run by a Councilship. For every ten thousand people, there is a councilor. And that councilor must follow the desires of its people, or else. It's the one law that's gone unchanged throughout Revisions. The council is ruled by the Proletariat. There can be no Bourgeois.

If there is a chance that a Prince-like ruler can come into existence, then under Ibercoran law that person must be executed.

As of the year that Sanctity was born, there were 8,257 councilors, for 8,257 major population segments. Population growth has slowed as Ibercori reaches the end of its expansion, well over 200 years into its existence.

And with any large Empire, there must still be expansion. Sanctity herself is from one of the edges of Ibercori; the state of Ernoka. She worked as an enforcer, trained under standard Ibercoran regiments.

All Ibercoran Knights are to be trained in advanced studies and standardized education. One Ibercoran Knight must be worth one-hundred of the enemy's, and standard Ibercoran soldiers are to work in tandem with the knights; it's been regular regimen for the past three decades.

Sanctity herself was essentially law enforcement. Her family presided over Ernoka, her father running the estate. In service to the State, she lost her left and third eye, her left hand, and her tail was damaged, making it far more sensitive.

She has sacrificed much in the name of a nation she truly believed in.

So why was it that when she arrived in Barovia, she was wild-eyed, and covered in blood?
