Change of Plans

Man, my 30 Day Bikram Challenge is not going all that well at the moment.  There’s still time to turn it around, but tonight is not going to be that night.  I was supposed to leave the office at 5pm for a 5:45pm yoga class, but now I’m stuck here indefinitely, waiting on a delivery of USB thumb drives to arrive.  I’m feeling a little stabby, which is exactly the opposite of the feeling of collected calm a yogini is supposed to be cultivating.

Anyway, the next available class isn’t until 8pm, and there’s not enough time beforehand to eat dinner.  I can’t wait until 9:45pm to eat again, so I’ve decided to cut class and follow a new plan of action – homework.  I’ve got an entire book to read this week (The Brand Gap), and it’s all ready to go on my Kindle, so I’m going to go home, make a nice dinner, and do some heavy duty reading.

If I can get at least a third of the way through, I’m allowed to watch the newest episode of True Blood.  The last episode included kissing and snuggling, so I’m hoping this episode includes…murder, werewolves, and OK, maybe just a little bit of vampire petting.

What?  You can’t tell me you don’t want to pet a Viking, too.

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
